What are people saying about St Maarten

Anguilla In Style

Marc_F, Apr 2026

Highly recommend!

So well worth the cost, and glad we decided to go this route rather than just take the ferry and be on our own with cabs or renting a car. Alex the Captain, and Jordan the mate (his first day apparently) were fantastic. Took us to four phenomenal beaches, and we wanted for nothing.

Billy Bones St. Maarten Getaway , Snorkeling with Turtles

Mark_L, Apr 2026

Exceptional experience

We had a great time the crew Jad and Noah did a great job of taking care of everything needed. They were friendly and professional even taking time to make sure the young kids traveling with us were taken care of. The weather and snorkeling were great as well.

Two Islands, Twice the Fun

Tim_S, Mar 2026

Perfect Tour of St Maarten

My wife and I had a wonderful day touring with Raj. He was very knowledgeable about the island and told us lots of information as we drove around to the different areas on both sides of the island. We enjoyed the spots that he took us to and especially the French bakery in Marigold. His van was very comfortable in the AC worked awesome on a hot day. I would highly recommend this for a quick tour of the island. Thank you Raj for a wonderful day.

Topper's Rhum Distillery Tour in St Maarten

Kendra_K, Mar 2026

Loved this

The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging . She included everyone in the tour. The food is literally a sample so don’t expect much. We went to eat afterwards at the restaurant part and food was delicious especially the rum cake. Overall definitely worth it.

Jeffrey_S, Mar 2026

Mama Gucci was awesome

Mama Gucci was amazing. She took us around the island man we saw it all in 6 hrs wow. Fed th birds and iguans. Maho beach saw 3 planes land. Local chocolate factory, and local diner for lunch. Also cool little Beach that was semi private where you could walk out to a small little piece of land.

St Maarten Luxury Catamaran Full-Day Group Charter

John_T, Mar 2026

Fabulous day touring St Martin!!

We had the most incredible day aboard the Flagship II catamaran — truly one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so thoughtfully done. We were treated to a delicious breakfast, snacks throughout the day, and a wonderful lunch, all while enjoying the stunning surroundings. Captain George and his first mate were absolutely exceptional — warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel both relaxed and special. The group on board was fantastic, which only added to the fun and easygoing atmosphere. It’s hard to imagine a better way to spend a day on the water. An unforgettable experience that we would recommend without hesitation — we will absolutely be back.

Anguilla Getaway Cruise

Maria_B, Mar 2026

If you choose one excursion-choose this one!

From start to finish this was an amazing experience. This was by far the best thing we did on Sint Maarten. Sammy and Thomas, our crew, were EXCEPTIONAL! From island history and information to ongoing service of drinks and snacks, they went above and beyond. If you choose one excursion while visiting this island, choose this one. To see Anguilla and take in the many beaches in one day is nothing short of amazing. Book this boating excursion. You won’t regret it!

Guided ATV/QUAD Tour of Sint Maarten/St. Martin

Kike_A, Mar 2026

Dan The Great & SXM Views, 10/10

Dan the great was our tour guide and despite some timing issues at the beginning, worth every penny. He’s so knowledgeable about the island, friendly and calming. I’d especially recommend him as a tour guide. I got more out of seeing the island in the couple hours with him than I did on my own tor the last couple days, we really enjoyed!

Boomerang’s Best of Anguilla: Swim with Turtles Adventure

Pelumi_D, Feb 2026

Amazing crew and great...

Amazing crew and great time. The waters of Antigua are so beautiful. Definitely worth checking out. The ride can be a bit bumpy and wet so be careful where you are sitting on the boat. Lunch was delicious and they had a variety of drinks to choose from. I didn’t know what to get so the girl at the bar made one special for me and it was really good. Highly recommend. The tour is on the pricier side but it ended up being similar price or a tiny bit cheaper than if I were to go on a day trip on my own. Plus they took care of everything, all we had to do was show up.

Milan Highlights: Guided Duomo, Last Supper & City Centre Tour

Eileen_E, Feb 2026

A Worthy Tour to Hit Milan's Highlights

Our guide was absolutely phenomenal. She infused humor and history to both inform and entertain us along the entire tour. There is a fair amount of walking: We started at the Last Supper Painting and then walked through several streets to pass through the main courtyard of Sforza Castle and then through the gorgeous La Brera neighborhood to the front of La Scala Opera House and through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Shopping arcade to finish the tour inside the Duomo. All total, it was about a 3 hour tour and she made every moment of it excellent. Would highly recommend this tour, especially if you have never been to the city before-it gives you a great idea of where things are located and she even gave us tips on places and shops to go back to for a more in depth look. Really excellent experience.

Full-day Milan: Skip-The-Line The Last Supper and Duomo Cathedral

Carol_P, Oct 2025

I would highly recommend! Such a great experience and value for the money to see the highlights of Milan.

It is so helpful seeing all these sites with a knowledgeable guide. And she was able to navigate some scheduling changes by the museums and was still able to get us in which we would not have been able to do if we were just trying to go see it on our own. I continue to be amazed and impressed by the quality of the guides leading the tours through your app. And she was no exception unfortunately I forgot her name.
