Godfrey did a great job showing us his island. Very hilly but also beautiful. He supplies plenty of water and soda. He even had some chips for the ride. He kepted us on schedule and gave us choices on what beach to leave us at for the final 2 hrs. Of excursion. He was waiting for us after to take us back to the ship.

WOW! I read the other reviews and almost passed up this experience. We are truly thankful for such an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! We are first timers here and this was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you!

See St Thomas in 1 day

JocelynL_S, Oct 2026
Very informative. Got to see St Thomas in one comprehensive trip. Godfrey is so full of information. He is a warm accommodating host which I find refreshing in this unfriendly island. He took care of us. We had snack and cold drinks. Try this trip. You won’t be disappointed

Great Excursion

Wonderful excursion! Mr. Godfrey is so knowledgeable of the island and takes pride in his work. We learned so much about the history and culture of St. Thomas.

Communication

katherine_g, Oct 2026
The tour was nice and very informative once we figured out where we had to be. I tried communicating through viators website and the tour guide never responded to me. We got off the cruise ship and had no idea where to go and when the tour truck was coming. Tried calling the tour guides phone and no answer. Luckily we found a few other people that had gathered around us. But instead of the tour truck pulling in front of where we were told to sit. He pulled into parking lot and waved us all over rather than coming over to us and introducing himself. Just felt a little uninviting at first. Once on the truck it was a pretty nice ride (quite scary as they drive on the opposite sides of the roads). They don’t have speed limits really and there a sharp turns that scare you as well. But we were offered drinks and snacks which was nice. The tour started at a small area of tents for souvenirs which was ok but some things were a little bit too expensive. There were bathrooms at the first stop which was great. I didn’t like how we were told a time to get back into truck but I was called about 10 minutes early because everyone else was ready to go. Weird how tour guides phone worked then. lol! After that we went to a very high area for more information, over priced shopping, and banana daiquiri. We then proceeded to Megan’s beach which we were informed several times is $7 to get in. But if we didn’t want that beach he took us to coco beach, or our last choice was back to the ship. We chose to go back to ship and shop and then relax. Overall the tour was informative and we did enjoy ourselves but probably would not do that tour again.

Very professional

Kimberly_A, Oct 2026

Great Tour

Andre_P, Aug 2026
This tour was absolutely amazing! Mr. Godfrey was our tour guide, and he truly knows exactly what a great tour should be. From the moment we got on his bus until the very end, he shared the history of the island in such an interesting and engaging way. He takes you to all of the popular attractions and makes sure you get to experience the best the island has to offer. He also went above and beyond by offering snacks, water, sodas, and juice throughout the tour, which was such a thoughtful touch! I’m so glad I found this tour because it was definitely worth the money! Mr. Godfrey was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Thomas. You won’t be disappointed!

Great overview of all the Islands

Sandra_D, Jul 2026
Godfrey was a great tour guide and was clear about our time in a location and was punctual . He was knowledgeable and hospitable with a wide selection of beverages and chips!

Great Tour

Keith_P, Jul 2026
We had an amazing time with Godfrey!!! If you want to see a few historic sites, get a few trinkets to remember your trip, try a banana daiquiri, and enjoy an open air ride through St Thomas...book here! We really enjoyed his stories, the amazing views, and the breezes and open-air ride! Very pleasant experience and we would recommend him to anyone visiting the island!

Unforgettable Experience!

Rosie_A, Jun 2026
I highly recommend this activity with Godfrey tours. Mr Godfrey was very knowledgeable, patient and kind to all the tourists. I highly recommend this activity if you're visiting the Virgin Islands in St Thomas.

I saw so much of St Thomas on this tour.

Ethel_B, Jun 2026
It's a great tour of St Thomas . At the mountain top is a beautiful view of several islands. Godfreys iscvery knowledgeable and a fantastic driver.

Maybe skip the beach

Charice_A, Jun 2026
Godfrey was a great hospitable guide. The shopping stop was first and we had just the right amount of time to not overspend. The views along the trip are spectacular. The bartender at the Mountain Top bar gave a generous pour to top the banana daiquiri. The daiquiri was so worth it. Magens Bay was beautiful and the water was perfect. However the beach was crowded and almost chaotic. It was difficult to enjoy the beach stop which was the last and longest stop. I would probably skip the beach if I had it to do again.

No tour for us!

Jill_W, Jun 2026
Worst company EVER..... We prepaid and they never bothered to pick us up. No message of any cancelation and we paid for a taxi to get there and back with no refund. When we called to find out where they were, their voicemail said it was full. We saw their vehicle pass Sapphire Beach which was the pick up location. We chatted with Viator whom we booked this excursion with. They claimed Godfrey Tours sent a cancelation message and said we would be refunded. We received that message later that afternoon, so be careful you don't get the runaround too. Apparently they like to overbook and we were the ones on vacation they picked to try to mess up our day. Didn't work.........

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!!!

keenerfamily, May 2026
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!
