I really enjoyed the tour and the people on board. We got to see lots of sights and learned many facts about the island’s history! The tour guide provided us with complementary drinks and snacks. I would recommend bringing a fan and cash for local shopping. 10/10 would do again!

This was an amazing excursion! Godfrey was a great tour guide. He provided knowledge while safely getting us around the island. It was well worth the $$$! Snacks and drinks provided. Godfrey made sure to provide time at each stop while making sure we were back on the cruise ship in time.

Great tour, Godfrey is great!

Jamie_M, May 2026
Totally worth the price! Did the 6 hour tour which was slightly longer but saw so much. Godfrey is full of information about the island. We were picked up earlier than planned but that was communicated via text the night before. No waiting around as mentioned in other reviews. Plenty of cold drinks for the whole day! Everything was perfect!

Poor Cuatomer Service

Sandra_A, May 2026
I was texted at 2am to tell me that my picked up time changed from noon to 9:30am, then after I confirmed, I received a cancelation text. Promise I'd a refund that I did not get, but will dispute if not received in 2 days.

Bad

Kimberly_G, May 2026
They were very unorganized and their itinerary didn’t match what we did except for the banana daiquiri top of the hill

Nice day, lots to see.

Carol_R, May 2026
Pick up point at havensight needs to be updated, as the area around gate 3 is cordoned off. We had to get in touch to revise the pick up point.

So worth it !!!

Bouchra_E, May 2026
We had switched hotels last minute and the driver was still able to pick us up on time which we really appreciate,The tour guide was very informative and very kind , loved everything about this tour 100% worth it for a very good price !!!

Avoid this company unless you want poor customer service and a disrespectful owner

Shandy_R, May 2026
I am saddened by the poor customer service I received today and the disrespectful way I was spoken to by the Godfrey Tours representative. He text me at 2am which I did not see til after 7am that they needed to move our tour time, but I explained we have to work later and needed the original time. He offered to pick us up at 10 and do a shortened tour but we wanted the full experience as that is what we paid for. The manner in which he spoke to me was very disrespectful. He said other customers moved their times and he couldn't pay a driver just to pick us up. Not our problem. Then said another colleague who booked as well for today, didn't have a reservation though she booked and paid and had tickets through Viator as well. He then proceeded to tell me the shops aren't even open til after 10. I asked him why there was an 8:30am tour option to begin with then. He had the audacity to raise his voice at me and then said something about cruise ships not being in, etc. I told him we are not here as part of a cruise. I'm waiting on our refund. First time in St.Thomas, but if service is like this, it will be the last.

Highly recommend this tour!!!

This was an amazing excursion! Godfrey was a great tour guide. He provided knowledge while safely getting us around the island. It was well worth the $$$! Snacks and drinks provided. Godfrey made sure to provide time at each stop while making sure we were back on the cruise ship in time.

Welcome to St.Thomas

Dawn_P, May 2026
Well, it was hard to find our tour guide at the port. . He was very informative..Nice person but the time we got back to the Ship was cutting it too close..We all were sweating..I wasnt to happy with that part, .15mins before pull off is not a exciting feeling.

Lovecab and Godfrey highly recommended

Christina_B, May 2026
We really enjoyed our tour through Godfrey! We ended up with Lovecab as our driver and he was great! I was so thankful we were chauffeured up to mountain top, as that drive is not for the faint of heart, but we felt safe and secure. Godfrey was extremely informative at the stops and Lovecab was very accommodating, letting us skip the shopping and head straight to the beach. He even gave us the opportunity to view the beach before deciding whether or not we wanted to stay there. We had a group of 7 and all said we would recommend the tour through Godfrey and even do another again!

First time visiting

rhodaholmes40, May 2026

Godfrey is wonderful! We...

Godfrey Tours

Derrick_M, May 2026
Started out bumpy, but tour operator contacted us and gave us a new meeting spot. Other than that the tour was great. Got to see a lot throughout the whole day! For the price you CANNOT beat it! Would book again if we come back in the future

Delayed start

Rhoda_C, May 2026
The tour was delayed due to phone outtage and driver did not show. We waited nearly 2 hours for our tour to begin along with another family. It was stressful and frustrating as some tour staff ensured us that our drive was on his way. It would only be 20 minutes longer. Finally, the owner Godfrey showed up himself to conduct our tour. He was great! Although, we had a rough beginning, the tour was completed but cut short due to the late start.

Awful! Scam Alert!

Amanda_M, May 2026
DON’T DO IT!! If I could give zero stars I would. They were a no show, I had reached out multiple times a day before the excursion to confirm the pick up time as we chose the pick up and not going to the meeting point and zero response from the tour operator, I called and the voicemail was full. We waited over an hour past the pick time to ensure they weren’t running late. We’ve requested a refund, but I have doubts that will occur. This tour should be removed from this website as it’s a total scam!

This was a great tour....

Janice_H, May 2026
This was a great tour. Very interesting and informative, good communication, and lots of fun activities included. Highly recommended for your first time in St. Thomas.

They were almost an hour...

Jen_O, May 2026
They were almost an hour late picking us up from the beach. Another couple on the tour ended up taking a taxi back so they didn't miss their ship. We were given no apology or explanation either.

First time tour

Sharkkarah_H, May 2026
Godfrey is a great tour guide. Hoping to bring my kids on the tour next time I come to St. Thomas. Great sights,good food,shopping,and daiquiris on the beach.

Started off unorganized...

Amy_B, May 2026
Started off unorganized and the sites were not impressive. The beach was beautiful. It is $7 to get in and $20 for a chair. The seats we set in were not very comfortable for our tour and the mic did not work so we heard nothing about the sites as we traveled.

Great St Thomas Tour

Maritza_P, May 2026
I absolutely love how well organized this tour was, they kept great communication prior and Love (our amazing tour guide and driver) was amazing! Great experience & would strongly recommend.

great experience with...

Anish_N, May 2026
great experience with Godfrey's team - full of knowledge shared throughout session and didn't feel rushed

Great experience!

Marylin_C, Apr 2026
This was worth every penny. We got to see pretty much the entire island. The guide provided informative information without talking nonstop.

Awesome Trip

John_K, Apr 2026
This is the 3rd time we my wife and I have done this trip. To travel all around the island, with a few stops, for a cheap price, very worth it.

Don’t use this tour operator

Pedro_T, Apr 2026
The entire process was very disorganized. We had no continuity on the transport. Getting on the bus was not an easy task if you are older or have some mobility issues. The guide/driver’s communication in the bus was not clear and almost impossible to understand. The tour was advertised for 5 to 6 hours but lasted around 4 only. The tour was advertised to make the final stop at a bay for beach time but that never happened.

Scammer

Licia_J, Apr 2026
They changed the pick up time one hour I was scheduled to be picked up. Then they took us the the cruise ship terminal to pick up for twenty minutes, then drop us downtown for 30 minutes, and we had to stand and wait another 30 minutes for them to pickup, they didn’t do the scenic two hours sightseeing tour of the island, never even made it to Magens Bay. This tour is a scam would not recommend it to anyone horrible.

Not so good

Denver_P, Apr 2026
Uninformed not a tour of entire island. Too much time for shopping and not enough time for swimming. Snack provided was small bag of chips.

Awesome Tour!

lwe2216, Apr 2026
Great time with our driver Godfrey! Got to see all the great views around the island. Had plenty of time shop downtown Charlotte Amalie.

Tour of island

Stanzetta_B, Apr 2026
Very detailed and exciting. Great host..............................................................

Nice tour

Deborah_D, Apr 2026
Rough start. Changed pickup location then didn't show up. Half hour later showed for another group but took us and another family with this later group. Communication was zero. However, once we were on, driver/guide was wonderful. Will recommend but patience is needed.
