We will pick you up at 9 am LOCAL TIME from the parking lot of Chesterfield’s Restaurant, Dock Maarten, in Philipsburg (See location on map below). Parking is available for the first hour at USD $2.00, each additional hour USD $1.00. No pick-up fee will be charged. No Uber or similar services have started on our island yet, so you’ll need to get there by taxi or rental car. WALKING ROUTE DIRECTIONS to MEETING POINT for CRUISE SHIP GUESTS from the cruise ship terminal (it'll take you 10 minutes when walking a regular pace):: Exit the cruise ship terminal through the main exit, onto the main public road and turn left following the road to Philipsburg. After a five minute straight walk you'll see Johnny's Scooter Rental on your left, it's a small shack with a big smiley sign on top. Go to the parking lot behind Johnny's Scooter Rental. We'll be on that parking lot in a silver van. If you prefer not to walk, you can ask one of the many taxis at the cruise ship terminal to drop you off at Chesterfield's Restaurant for a couple of dollars. Bear in mind they, maybe, will wait for their car/van to fill up before they depart.

    Relaxing and fun

    Sara_K, Oct 2025
    Great way to learn some history of the island, sightsee with ease, and try some delicious cheeses. Our guide was great!

    St. Martin wine and cheese tour tastes great!

    David_L, Nov 2024
    The tour was great with two historical site visits at local fortifications from the 17th and 18th centuries plus 2 excellent wine and cheese tasting stops - one on the Dutch side, the other on the French side. We were super fortunate in that 2 other couples around our age were on the tour and by the end of the day we'd all become great friends. John, our driver, was friendly and knowledgeable and this turned out to be the best day of our trip.
