So much to see in Sint Maarten!

Mary_B, Mar 2026

Our guide was very friendly and explained so many sites on this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed sightseeing with him!

Mostly excellent.

Jay_W, Feb 2026

Much longer (4.5 hrs) than advertised. Not a problem but be aware. The guides Plow was excellent but his 6 passenger vehicle showed much wear. Site locations were excellent.

Great tour. They tour operator was flexible in the time since our ship didn't arrive in port in time for the designatied tour time. Plow was our tour guide. It turned out to be a private tour as no one else had signed up.

Great tour. Enjoyed...

Paul_E, Feb 2025

Great tour. Enjoyed Devil's Bridge the most. Betty's Hope wasl closed on Sunday and we had been to Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley Hieghts before.

Historical places in Antigua

Arunas_S, Feb 2024

We saw the historical places in Antigua, mostly connected with the British activities in the island - including nicely renovated Nelson's dockyard.

Thank you for your kind feed back, the history of Nelson's dockyard is wonderful and is amazing for us to be able to share, thanks again Carl

Good tour, crowded van, extra entrance fees

Beth_T, Jan 2024

We rode with the owners son and he was very informative, polite and hospitable. We were not surprised to be with another party, however, even though the mini van was officially an 8 seater, there were 7 of us and we sat hip to hip with knees touching the seats in front. It was not a comfortable ride due to lack of space, especially with people you do not know. It would have been better to limit it to 6 riders. You need to be aware that there is a $15/person fee to enter Nelson's Dockyard/Shirley's Heights and a $2 fee to enter Betty's Hope. Maybe it's my fault for not knowing this, but it put a damper on the trip, especially with two separate groups having to discuss if they wanted to pay. Majority ruled and we did not visit the dockyard or have the great view, but the owners son did drive a different route, so we could see some huge yachts. It is marked on the tour that fees are not included, but it doesn't indicate what you have to pay for. The Devil’s bridge does not have a fee. Overall it was a good tour and worth the price. We felt safe and informed with with our driver.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for feedback and your suggestions, we will take on board giving additional attention when general consensus is sought, so that no one is left feeling not able to voice their wishes. I will also investigate what happened with the two groups. Just to share with you, we are in the process of adding a 10 seater vehicle to our fleet. Our understanding, the range of fees are detailed at the site UNESCO Nelson's Dockyard national park, by The National Parks Authority. Some fees detailed on the National parks website https://www.nationalparksantigua.com We will also add the current entrance 15$USD fee information Carl
