5Beautiful tour. Our tour...
Beautiful tour. Our tour guide, Guy, was fantastic! Magens Bay was stunning, great beach! Worth the tour!!

Totally worth it!!! Mrs Denise is so friendly, nice and funny. She made sure we had the time of our lives. It was an amazing tour and we are so happy that she was our guide. Thank you for an amazing day. We are booking next time we come back. Thank you so much!!!
3This tour needs improvement.
The last two hours of the tour is a drop off at the beach. My husband and I and another couple were not interested in being out in the hot sun for 2 hours. An alternative for the last 2 hours of the tour should be given besides just a drop off. The two tour guides, Guy and Denise were wonderful. I would highly recommend those guides. Viator should arrange for an alternative activity for the last two hours of the tour with a pickup after. All of that considered, it was not worth the money we paid for the tour.
3Zigzag roads and amazing view from the top
The driver/tour guide is friendly and made sure we took photos on the most iconic places of St. Thomas, the commentary/audio while travelling is unsatisfactory. Hardly understand what he is talking about. He is a safe driver considering the narrow and zigzag roads, he drove all of us back to the ship in one piece. The beach experience is not really worth the entrance fee because by the time we got there in the afternoon, it is very crowded. I would appreciate it if a 50% refund is given since the audio is bad. Thank you.
2Not the greatest
I wish we would have just taken a taxi to the beach instead of taking this tour. The stops were more about overpriced vendors. The mountaintop is basically a store. Yes, there’s a pretty view, the line for the daiquiris takes the entire time. It’s like $40 for a screen printed shirt. Just craziness. We couldn’t hear much that was being said on our tour. However, the beach was beautiful, and they sold daiquiris and drinks on the beach. I do think with the cost of the tour that they should already include your payment to the beach though.
5Perfect St Thomas day
Couldn't wait for me and my daughter to find out about St Thomas past and present. Can't visit anywhere and not get a visual feel for the place. Was picked up on time by Mr H. An issue with a gypsy driver that pretended to come from the tour company. BUT HONEY MY PSYCH NURSE SKILLS and all the true crime shows I watched kicked in instantly. I'm a well seasoned traveler however my safety was everything thanks to my resort front desk. All was remedied immediately. My experience....there was another couple on the tour Scott and Sandy. They were the best had a lot of fun and laughs. The tour was just as described and very organized. World famous daiquiri on Mountain top is clearly overrated just brought a banana daiquiri for the pretty souvenir cup. Now the pics me and my daughter took with the different pirates ☠️ now that was fun. Souvenirs and the gift shop way too expensive. No Magan's Bay was beautiful. Not too crowded due to no cruise ships in port that day. Water was beautiful we took some many pictures. No need to rent chairs and umbrellas. Sit on picnic table or lay on our towel under the sun. There was only 1 restaurant/bar. Ordered the daily special snapper with fries....when I said OMG SOO GOOOOD. But the cashier she was rude no customer service skill. My questions annoyed her and so did the tip She didn't receive. Now 10 feet to the right We ordered 2 Rum Punches. Friendly engaging and Honey...half cup Rum and half cup rum punch mix. He said you're gonna like this. DID I...lol. And the tip goes to the Bartender. We enjoyed our 2 hr beach experience it was just enough. Mr.H was knowledgeable and safe. I'm glad we booked this tour. I will highly recommend this tour simple but just enough. Final thoughts just because you're on vacation you always have to remain safe at all times. Use your street smarts and common sense always especially when your gut feeling is saying this doesn't feel right.....Overall 5/5

About Cruz Bay
Cruz Bay is the small ferry town and main settlement of St John in the US Virgin Islands, the gateway to a national park of beaches, reefs and hills.
Cruz Bay sits on the west coast of St John, the smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands, with pastel buildings, shops and bars around a small harbour. Ferries link it to Red Hook on St Thomas, and the town is the gateway to Virgin Islands National Park, which covers more than half of the island. The Danish West Indies, as the islands were once called, were sold to the United States in 1917, and Danish-built walls and sugar-mill ruins survive.
