Sunita Tours was awesome! Mama Gucci was a great tour guide. She was very professional and flexible. We loved hearing the history of St. Maarten and visiting all the sights. The van was very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this tour and company!

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.

Cindy was an excellent tour guide. Deeply knowledgeable about both French and Dutch sides of the island. She gave us options and allowed us to choose our own adventure. I would say our only mistake was not meeting earlier to make full advantage of the day. Super highly recommend.
Matthew_G, Mar 2026
They have a good idea of what to do. You can change things up if you'd like. We didn't realize the guide was going to drive away for more than 45m, with our snorkel gear, sunscreen, etc still in the van, so we didn'tget to go in the water. We still had a great time!
Melissa_L, Mar 2026
This was worth the time and money. The tour was awesome and very informative. It was completely customizable to our itinerary and needs. Guide is very knowledgeable and patient.

Thank you Melissa, we had a fantastic day with you and your partner.

Cindy was a fantastic guide. She made awesome suggestions, which resulted in an amazing day. Stopping at a bakery and lunch spot were incredibly delicious. My family of 9 enjoyed every minute of the excursion!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you Linda, I had an amazing day with your family as well. Truly appreciated.
David_T, Mar 2026
Had a nice ride around the island with Lloyd. Traffic was bad so that’s not his fault. He took us to some highlights and gave us lots on knowledge about the island. Took us to a couple shopping spots we wanted to hit. Never rushed us and kept saying take your time and enjoy. All around good day, minus the traffic.
Patricia_C, Mar 2026
This is a good way to visit the top spots with someone driving that knows the island. Learn some island history along the way and get some great restaurant recommendations.
Gary_B, Mar 2026
Our private tour driver was Mr. Too Cool. He was one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Had a great day exploring and learning about St. Maarten. We toured both the French and Dutch sides including stops in Marigot and Maho Beach to see the planes land. He was also able to work in a stop to allow us to zipline at Rainforest Adventures at Rockland Estates and then drop us off in town in Philipsburg. Highly recommend!
Lori_C, Mar 2026
Mr. Too Cool was cool as a cat. Was patient with us and there when we wanted to go.
Van was comfortable, and air conditioned.
Joelene_O, Mar 2026
This was a great tour to see the highlights of the island and can be customized to accommodate your interests
Lucy_S, Mar 2026
We decided on a private tour for our group of 4. We had the sweetest guide (I’m so sorry that I can’t remember her name). She took us around both the Dutch and French side of the island. We had a great lunch in Marigot. We saw the planes take off and land, Orient Beach, Ft Louis and even some iguanas. We had a good day and felt really taken care of. Enjoy!
Pamela_P, Feb 2026
Excellent tour around the entire island. Our guide URI was so sweet, kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We made several stops for shopping and photos.
ANN_J, Feb 2026
Mama G was an excellent guide as well as chauffeur! She asked what we wanted to do/ see and accommodated to our wishes. She took us to a fabulous French bakery, chocolate shoppe and suggested a wonderful lunch restaurant. Thank you Mama G !!
Ann_G, Feb 2026
Cindi was a great driver in. All the traffic.She listened to what we wanted to do and got us back to the ship with plenty of time. We really enjoyed being with her and would be happy to have her the next time we are in St Maarten.
Joseph_N, Feb 2026
We had a great time with Mr. Too Cool! He provided our family with a memorable trip around the island and showed us all the prime spots. He gave us options for places to stop and had great recommendations. We would definitely do it again!
Tanya_S, Feb 2026
Cindy was terrific! She helped design a tour for us that included highlights on the island along with one of the best meals! We got to experience both sides. Highly recommend.
Bonnie_J, Feb 2026
We had a nice experience, the traffic ended up being bad due to an accident so we missed out on a couple stops, we had a good safe time and our driver Hakeem (spelled wrong) was very good
Donald_D, Feb 2026
As advertised and great driver. Very knowledgeable and made trip an enjoyable experience, highly recommend
Dawn_S, Jan 2026
We were a group of 15 and our two guides did a great job of showing us the island of St Maarten, both the Dutch and French side. They stopped at a few beautiful sites and then we spent a few hours on Orient Beach. It was a great day.
Eric_L, Jan 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the island. The stops were good although for us we would have skipped the last stop at the airport beach and spent more time at the beach restaurant we stopped at first. Nice beach and excellent tropical drinks there.
Anne_C, Jan 2026
The guide was very friendly and enthousiast but we were disappointed about not getting much information about the history of Sint Martin and its inhibitants.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Good evening, Mama Gucci is our best guide, she tries her best to make sure she gets everything you want to do and know about the island done. If you like history let her know don't sit and not ask questions that why she's there.
Michelle_F, Jan 2026
My family and four of our retired military friends all joined us for this tour. Mama Gucci was fantastic and customized the trip to our desires. She was knowledgeable and friendly! We went to the French side and when we expressed our desire for a French chocolate croissant, she went to several places to help us find it! It was divine! Seeing St. Maarten this way was great - she gave us plenty of time to see Maho Beach which was my daughter's favorite. We skipped most of the shopping spots as we wanted to see the island and eat the food! We did a great stop for BBQ. Totally recommend this tour!
Venuka_J, Jan 2026
It was one of the best excursions we have done. Mama Gucci was awesome. Explained everything. Catered to our requirements. Highly recommend.
cynthia_l, Jan 2026

ROBERT_E, Jan 2026

Faye_M, Jan 2026
Yuri, our tour guide was excellent. He’s very knowledgeable about the island. Very soft spoken., & just a nice person all around
Owen_S, Jan 2026
This was a great way to experience the island - we did this as a day trip off the cruise ship, and there was plenty of time even for a packed itinerary. Hard to pick a highlight as every stop was great, but the planes at Maho beach were a particularly fun experience. Cyndi was an excellent guide.
Nicole_H, Jan 2026
This was a wonderful way to experience the island! Our driver was so friendly and so knowledgeable. He had a list of places to visit and was very accommodating to our requests. It was a wonderful way to spend the first day here. Highly recommend!
Diane_V, Jan 2026
We saw the whole island with very informative and fun tour guide. Stopped at a couple of places that we wanted to see and then proceeded with rest of the popular sites on both sides of the island. Mr. “Too Cool” was the best guide and we had the best day!!!
Neil_C, Dec 2025
Mr. Too Cool was the best tour guide! We had a blast! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Maarten. We were able to enjoy delicious local food, visit the beach and see all the sights around St. Maarten. It was especially cool to see the airplanes land so close to the beach. We managed to snag a lot of cool photos. Sadly, we didn’t get to try the Carribean lobster but there’s always next time. The shark and fish we had at the local restaurant recommended to us was very delicious. I would happily book this tour again if I return to St. Maarten in the future. Thank you for giving us a wonderful time in St. Maarten!
