Dennis was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. This was a great tour and all the stops were awesome and the beverages were a nice touch! I am a travel advisor and will most definitely utilize this tour company for all my clients, especially for those arriving on a cruise ship. Dennis ensured we returned on time for departure, and pickup and drop-off were easy at the pier.

Daryl, our tour guide for the excursion, was amazing. He kept us entertained the entire time with great narration and a wonderful sense of humor. I would highly recommend him. We were able to see multiple locations, and he managed the time extremely well so we never felt rushed but still experienced a lot. A fantastic tour!

Waste of Time

Andrew_S, Mar 2026
2 hours sitting in a van in terrible traffic. 30-40 mins on a couple of massively crowded beaches with trash everywhere. Really no time to get food so you’ll likely be starving once you get back to your ship. Driver showed up 20 mins late for the ride back to the ship and we were all loading into a taxi (would’ve been $65) when he finally showed up.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Saint Martin Beach‑Hopping Tour — Orient Beach & Maho Beach

Natalia_F, Feb 2026
Our Saint Martin beach‑hopping tour was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and beautifully organized. Orient Beach was the perfect first stop — stunning turquoise water, soft sand, and a relaxed island vibe that instantly put us in vacation mode. I had plenty of time to swim, enjoy the views, and soak up the atmosphere without ever feeling rushed. The highlight, of course, was Maho Beach. No matter how many videos you’ve seen, nothing compares to standing right there as the planes come in overhead. It’s thrilling, surreal, and such a unique experience. Our guide Tracy made it even better by timing our visit perfectly so we didn’t miss the major landings and by sharing fun facts about the island along the way. What really stood out was how easy and enjoyable the whole day felt — great transportation, friendly commentary, and just the right balance of adventure and relaxation. This tour is a must‑do if you want to experience the best of Saint Martin’s beaches in one day. Highly recommend.

Best tour we have been on so far

Brad_T, Feb 2026
Wow...what a day. Jesse was amazing showing us around the island. He had us pre-order lunch so it would be ready when we got there which saved us so much time. He was funny, informative and an all around great guy to spend a day with.

St Martin Beach Hop

Stephen_B, Feb 2026
This was a horrible tour. When we went to Maho Beach it was extremely crowed and very very dangerous for visitors as we were almost hit by buses and car as they were passing by us so closely we weee almost hit. Also we asked to go right back to cruise ship but instead driven around the whole iskabs with awful traffic . I got car sock, I am requesting a full refund or I will post how bad this tour was. Respectfully Jackie Bates

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear valued customer, lets analyse your complaint. You are saying the tour was horrible because you chose to get in the way of cars and buses. you are saying the tour is horrible because you chose to stay in the crowded area instead on goin by the sand bar restaurant where it was comfortable, you call the tour horrible because you booked a tour that describes two beaches that requires a drive around the island then complain that you got car sick because of traffic. After a complete analysis and the use of common sense your complaint is definitely horrible itself. What type of person sits or stands in the way where there are cars and buses passing then complain. This makes no sense. There is a concrete barrier that separates the traffic road from the beach. The cars and buses does not drive on the sand so in order for you to almost get hit you had to be on the road or on the barrier. who in their right mind will sit on a barrier that is close to the road where cars and buses are passing and then complain. The tour did exactly what was describe in the package so this also means you didn't know that this tour required a drive around the island to see the two beaches. Your complaint is horrible and you make horrible decision as an adult you should know better than to sit where buses and cars are passing and on top of that complain about it. what type of person does that? Your refund request is rejected because its not realistic and has no grounds for refund. we cannot control traffic and the crowd of people but you could have gone to another area on the beach where its not crowded like the sand bar or the Morgans or the driftwood bar. Respectfully Jackie Bates, you need to have more Self-accountability and stop behaving like a child.

Great excursion

Oskar_L, Feb 2026
Nel was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. The rum punch was good! If it ain’t Dutch it ain’t much!

Beach day

Kathleen_H, Feb 2026
It was great too see two beaches in one day. We has two extra stops to shop. It was a very relaxing day

Great value! Lots of fun stops!

Ask for Tracy!

MEGHAN_L, Jan 2026
Must use Presidential Tours - treated us like royalty! Our tour ended up being private. Tracy drove us around and we chatted the whole time learning about the island. Orient Bay beach is beautiful, one of our favorites. Two chairs and umbrella with two drinks was $20 total. We stopped in Marigold for shopping and lunch Rosemary’s Seafood was amazing. Mahó Beach was perfect in the afternoon-so many planes! Book this tour and ask for Tracy!

Disappointing Day

Kerri_M, Jan 2026
The tour company should have known what time people needed to be back. A couple on the tour told the driver half way through that they had to be back at a certain time. He didn’t know it and the traffic was bad. We ended up only getting to spend 10 minutes at Orient Beach. We were very disappointed. It rained the whole time we were at Mahio Beach and then the sun came out. We only had 30 mins of shopping. Someone dropped the ball here and I feel like we should of been compensated somehow for it.

Fabulous day in St. Maarten!

Christine_C, Dec 2025
Dennis was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great day in St. Maarten! The beach stops were beautiful.

Amazing

Nicole_W, Dec 2025
This tour was amazing! We got a full history of the island and got to see some amazing and beautiful sites!

It was great

Falashade_A, Nov 2025
My tour guide arrived on time. She was very knowledgeable. She was very professional. She gave me Us a lot of history about the island

Walked to the check in...

James_V, Nov 2025
Walked to the check in and was informed the ship was late and the tour had already left. I had contacted the tour provider the day before and informed of the time we were coming in and was informed to come to the check in as soon as we could get off the boat. Avoid Presidential Tours! Viator had to confirm with the local tour of the cancellation and was unable to contact local vendor. Don’t waste your time!

Meet location mixup

Gerhard_T, Nov 2025
Meet location on Viator was not accurate. Need to have internet to hear from provider before walking to parking lot to catch tour.

the tour was nice. I wish...

Elie_A, Sep 2025
the tour was nice. I wish we spend more time in 1-2 locations instead of 40-50 minutes in each of the 4 locations where we stopped. Also, the drive wasted too much time trying to find the other passengers who were over an hour late. I don't think it's right nor fair to waste my time because the other people can't follow very simple and straightforward meeting info

Excellent Time in St. Maarten

Pamela_K, Apr 2025
St. Maarten Presidential Tours was excellent, and the excursion was so much fun. We had a wonderful driver who was very patient putting up with our group of 13. Would definitely book with Viator again! Thank you!

big boy

Jim_M, Feb 2025
great time with Big Boy. Loved what he did for us. I loved what he did for us and I would say he was above the call of duty.

Disaster tour

Kevin_B, Feb 2025
Absolutely terrible!!! Trash company if I could give negative stars I would. First off we had kids with us and order adults. We were told 9am tour and good luck getting that one. The most unorganized disaster I’ve ever seen. They were just calling out numbers and putting people in random vans. This tour was beach hopper one beach to the next. They took us to a cheese shop…. Why the hell would we want cheese in 90 degree weather. We were told there was drinks (water beer rum) NOPE. The main tour guy who was calling out numbers absolutely rude disrespectful to everyone. After a hour and half of waiting we finally got on a van after the cheese shop and some random hill nobody cares about we made it to the beach. At this point we just told the van we will find our own way back and stayed at the beach. Next time if you wanna see Maho beach just take a taxi for 18 bucks. Presidential Tours is a joke.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Dear Kevin, if it wasn't for our other great reviews and us being number one back to back on viator the world would believe you but thank god the world is filled with smart people who can analyze and see that if a company that has so many good reviews did this bad on that one day. It doesn't add up, it just means some people cant be pleased and they would make up all kind of stories. We will give you a free tour next year Kevin, if you tell the truth.

Nope!

Sara_W, Feb 2025
To many stops. Did not enjoy the beach and was rushed on the 5-10 min stops. I did not now we where going to stop

Not as expected

Sara_W, Feb 2025
To many stops. We picked this one for the two beaches orient and Maho. Not all the 5- 10 min stops. The van was wayyyy to crowded. We had to literally squeeze people in

Double Check what tour you are put on....

Patti_C, Feb 2025
Make sure you have the details about the tour you booked. They put us on a different tour, which we figured out as they were leaving. It was a cluster.We ended up basically getting a private tour guide for our group of 7 to do the 2 beach tour we booked The check in process was torturous and disorganized. We ended up having an awesome driver, Lily, who took great care of us. We loved both beaches. Ended up having a great day but it could've been a real disappointing day had we not spoken up and asked for the tour we booked.

Extremely poorly organized

Chantal_C, Feb 2025
Extremely poorly organized. Waited under tent over an hour and half with hundred of people. We were put in a taxi in the wrong tour.

Book it!

Kristi_L, Feb 2025
Fantastic tour. Got to see 3 popular beaches. Guide was super friendly and informative. Worth every penny.

Good time

Steve_B, Feb 2025
Good tour, fun time. Just the right amount of time at each beach and a few stops in between for rum and cheese.

Great Island tour

Patrice_D, Jan 2025
We had a great time with Cutty our driver. He was informative about the island and made sure we had to experience two beaches and some other places on the island.

St Martin

Harold_H, Jan 2025
Beah trips to beaches and entire tour was well worth the time. Tour guide was excellent. The drivers driving was very professional

A beautiful day in St Maarten.

Patrick_R, Jan 2025
We had the most amazing day with our lovely guide/driver Chris. Everything was perfect. Would highly recommend it. The only negative was not having enough time for enjoying a nice lunch, the first visit to s cheese shop could be dropped as well as the last visit to the rum factory.
