Maria was a wonderful guide. She customized our tour to our priorities, showed us the places with the best views, best places to eat and stay AND provided us with all kinds of facts and information about both sides of the island. We came away from the tour with a real love of the island and wish to come back!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hope to see you again soon.

We had an amazing experience with Maria on our tour! From start to finish, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful.
Maria is an excellent driver, and we felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. She’s also a fantastic educator—she shared so much interesting and useful information that really enhanced our experience and helped us better appreciate everything we were seeing.
Her communication was clear and consistent, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
I would highly recommend Maria to anyone booking this tour—she made it memorable in the best!

Great experience. Our guide, Maria, was the best. Perfect private tour from a cruise ship.
Maria adjusted to our request.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you very much.
We’re glad the private island tour perfectly matched your cruise stop in SXM.
We always adapt each experience to make the most of your time on the island.
See you again in Sint Maarten.
Gerard_M, Mar 2026
We enjoyed this tour very much. Maria was a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. She showed us some of the best locations on both the Dutch and French sides of the island. If we were not interested in a particular area, she moved on to another area of interest. With 4 cruise ships in port Maria did an excellent job of taking the back roads so we did not spend a lot of time in traffic. We highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to see both sides of the island.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We are glad you appreciated the flexibility of your private island tour in SXM, especially being able to explore both the French and Dutch sides at your own pace. Avoiding heavy traffic and focusing on what matters most to you is a big part of what we offer.
Your recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again for another unique experience on the island.
Elaine_D, Mar 2026
First, the finding your tour guide experience is crazy. Be prepared to roll with the punches. It's definitely chaotic, especially when you're a small group like I was (and the internet was spotty). But my guide Maria found me and we had a great tour. She is extremely knowledgeable about St. Maarten and the surrounding islands. She took me to so many beautiful places to look. She pointed out great places to stay, to eat and to shop (I will return someday!). We toured a very interesting museum of the nature of the island. We went all over both sides of the island and she did the driving in crazy traffic with a smile and a brave heart! She made it clear that we would go only to places I found interesting. Thank you for the side trip to Tijon fragrances and the bakery!
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Kristin_k, Mar 2026
I booked a solo tour and had Maria as my guide, and she was absolutely amazing. She came prepared with a plan for our day, but the first thing she did was ask if there were any places or activities I personally wanted to include. She adjusted the schedule effortlessly and never once made me feel rushed. I was able to take my time at Maho Beach and all the other stops, enjoying the views and taking plenty of photos. I truly enjoyed my entire day, and I will definitely book with her again when I return. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful review.

We are very happy you enjoyed discovering the beauty of the island , including famous places like Maho Beach and the island’s incredible viewpoints.
Thank you for your recommendation!
Elizabeth_A, Mar 2026
Maria was the perfect guide. She tailored my private tour to my interests, she knew how to avoid high traffic areas and was a very good communicator. We stayed almost entirely in the French side of the island which I found to be beautiful and interesting with fewer tourists. I especially enjoyed the Amuseum Naturalis at The Old House. Recommend bug spray for the mosquitoes. Thank you Maria!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback.
We are happy you enjoyed a more local and authentic side of the island. A private guided tour in the whole island allows you to explore unique places, avoid crowds, and experience the island in a more personal way.
We appreciate your tip as well and hope to see you again soon.
Marilyn_M, Feb 2026
Maria was the perfect tour guide. She tailored the tour to my ability (I am handicapped and use a motorized scooter) and we got to see both the Dutch side and the French side of the island and had a delicious beach lunch.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your kind review.
We are especially glad that your experience was comfortable and adapted to your needs. Providing an accessible and personalized private tour in St Maarten / St Martin is very important to us.
We hope to welcome you again for another relaxing and enjoyable day on the island.
Jennifer_J, Feb 2026
Maris was a wonderful guide! She showed us the entire island and was able to accommodate my mother’s scooter. The vehicle was clean, comfortable and like new. Maria has a deep knowledge of the island and her love of St. Martin is apparent. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words.
We’re especially happy you felt comfortable, well accommodated, and able to fully enjoy the island experience. Making sure every guest feels taken care of is very important to us.

Roberta_R, Jan 2026
We opted for a private tour of the island and it did not disappoint. Maria tailored the tour to our interests. We asked that she shorten the tour for us and she made sure we saw all the sites and saved time by not getting out at multiple places which takes a lot of time on group tours.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We are very happy you enjoyed having a tour adapted to your pace and interests , that’s exactly what private touring should feel like: relaxed, efficient, and fully personalized.
We would love to welcome you back anytime you return to the island.

Alla_B, Dec 2025
Maria was a spectacular guide/highlu reccomend. She was very flexible and accomodating for both us as a couple and my mom.
She stayed with my mom in the car to make sure she is comfortable since my mom did not want to go outixe in the heat whilst suggesting for us places to visit - she really cared to provide to us the best possible expetience. We absolutely loved view from Fort Lou in Marigold, Orient beach (with Bikini beach having excellent seafood) and Grande Case (Maison de chocolate with artisanal chocolate and blackcurrant Italian ice cream nearby being our favourites).

Patricia_M, Dec 2025
While staying on Anguilla, we wanted to take a day trip to see St. Martin, and our time with Maria fit the bill! We braved the ferry ride from Anguilla to St. Martin (French side) where Maria picked us up in a super clean and comfortable vehicle. She is very personable and knowledgeable about her home island. She outlined the highlights of the island and gave us the option to stop at any of the locations for a longer time - so we walked up the 92 steps to the fort, stopped at Maho Beach to watch planes fly in and out right over our heads, and did a short shopping tour in Philipsburg and had a drink at a nearby beach hotel. Maria dropped us at the ferry terminal and made sure we were able to get our tickets for the ferry back to Anguilla. We never would have been able see all of this on our own! Higky recommended!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
We’re delighted that your day trip from Anguilla was everything you hoped for. Our private guide loved showing you St. Martin/St Maarten at your own pace , beautiful views, favorite local spots, and the island vibe , that’s anyone’s deserves this for vacation.
Your recommendation means the world to us. We’d be happy to welcome you back on your next visit or host your friends and family!
See you soon,

No better way to visit the island than with this private tour company. Maria was our driver and very informational. She was so sweet and took us wherever we needed to go and gave us all the information we needed to have the best experience on the island. She also took us to a few places only the locals know about to see things off the beaten path. My wife and I were super pleased with the service provided and the amazing personality of our driver. Next time we return to the island we will definitely be giving them a call for more local insider tips and transportation.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Wow thank you for the beautiful review! We’re thrilled you loved your Private Island Tour and that your private guide warm spirit, flexibility, and local knowledge made your day.

The private tour of this beautiful island was well worth the money. Maria was a great guide and you can see her love, passion, and excitement for her home. We circled the 37 miles. She explained the culture and uniqueness of both the Dutch and French sides. We could move at our own pace & enjoy places we were interested in longer.
Highly recommend the private tour & Maria as your guide.

You get to see the highlights and experience the differences between the French and Dutch parts of the island. Maria, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable, attentive and willing to adjust to any particular interests. Showed us a great spot for lunch 😋 and let us meander the boardwalk at our own pace and rendezvous back with us when we were ready. Didn’t feel rushed or like we were on a schedule. Highly recommend this tour if you want something private and tailored to your particular needs. Thank you again, Maria 👍. We’ll recommend you to anyone coming to visit St Maarten

Highly recommend this tour by King & Queen Taxi & Tours! My guide was wonderful and so flexible. It was just me so I was able to customize what I wanted to see based on what I had already done in the island. This was a great way to see a lot of the island and learn more about the history. Great experience and I got some amazing photos and videos.

I didn't get to experience the tour. I am in a wheelchair and was guaranteed a tour that would allow me to stay in my wheelchair, however the vehicle that p8cked me up was a truck. I was not able to get in it so my day in St Marteen was ruined. I demand a refund
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Dear, We are surprised by your review , all comments are important to us and we are sorry to hear that you were unable to visit the island, far from our interest.
As you can see from our other reviews, your situation is the exception strange and far from our usual high standards. Unfortunately, hopefully we will meet you next time and then you can issue a new objective review, in the context of an opinion being left during a experience that actually happened , with the aim of providing objective opinion to the community based on real facts.
We accepted your reimbursement request the same day (processed by the platform in 3-5 days, out of our control), you initiating it even before your guide arrived, strangely enough,
just after your call to tell us that you want a refund from the platform and that you will call them in any case because you are paralyzed today.
Thing understood therefore we have totally accepted, despite their general policies which they can according to their free will, we are only partner, they can accept, refuse without our word on sight of the elements in their possession.
When we arrived to honor and begin your private island tour, you already had another plan planned on site,
very surprised, we therefore understood these various unexpected changes, as well as the previous days you kept changing your departure time (08/10 a.m./11 a.m./11:30 a.m./12 p.m.) but we understand and always try to adapt to the best with our customers, especially when reporting a disability, we pay particular attention to these annotations and this has been approved many times in previous comments, with customers in chairs, disabled, having undergone recent operations etc. that we have already done have a wonderful time. Every customer is a precious customer for us and we always do everything we can to respect our customer whatever, the customer is King.
Sorry that you were unable to visit, but this was initiated of your own free will, for your own personal reasons, not those of the company.
With greetings respect
