My Experience..

Leah_W, Apr 2026

Kalid did an amazing job keeping the group together. He's knowledgeable about the islands and gave us interesting fun facts. He took our pictures all and all he had a great attitude.

St. Thomas taxi island tour

Susan_R, Mar 2026

It was ok I expected to see more. I did not feel that we saw much of the island. We saw more of the mountain top and it only lasted approximately 1 1/2 hours or less. The driver was excellent and fun to ride with.

Awesome driver/guide

Stanislav_A, Mar 2025

Our group of 7 ended up being the only ones on this tour and we've had a good time. The guide was excellent and accommodating. The vehicle was your usual white van with 3 rows of seats, air conditioned. Taking one star off because they messed up our pickup location and we had to call and wait extra for their arrival.

Saw & learned a lot!

KathleenC_S, Feb 2025

Our tour with Khalid was wonderful! He was very accommodating of my my mobility limitation and he and my husband made sure I could safely transfer into and out of the van, My husband was able to store the wheelchair in the back of the van. He told us some very interesting history of the island on our way up to our last stop, "Mountain Top", where my husband was able to get some fabulous panoramic photos, and Khalid was kind enough to take some photos of the 2 of us there. We highly recommend Paradise Taxi and Khalid!

Pretty island ugly vehicle

Gerri_C, Jan 2025

The driver Khalid was very good at his job, but the vehicle was subpar. It had tears in the seat and it smelled of smoke. We were disappointed in the condition of the vehicle.

Less than adequate

Lois_J, Dec 2024

While we did drive around St. Thomas to see the main sights And the driver was kind and thoughtful we however were dissatisfied and disappointed that we couldn’t hear or understand his comments We suggest you have some microphone so he could be better prepared to speak with the travelers. I am a frequent traveler and customer of Viator thruout the world. This tour was sub par in my experience with your company

Great half day tour!

Russell_F, Jun 2024

Nice private half day tour of the island sights with some personalization for what we wanted to see! Nessir was a a great guide with passion and knowledge about the island. One shopping site was probably enough however. We would have preferred more sights😊

Taxi, No Tour

Nathaniel_S, Apr 2024

We drove to three stops with limited explanation for an expensive taxi compared to what was available right off the shop for 30 per person. There really was no tour guide.

Not a great trip

Perry_O, Feb 2024

I seldom provide negative reviews. However. For the price paid, the tour did not meet expectations. The driver was late - then stopped for gas. The van had ripped seats and was dirty. As the arranger of the tour I was embarrassed. Also Viatour did not provide any support when I reached out to them.

Great St. Thomas overview trip!

Harold_T, Jan 2024

Our guide had a very comfortable van and he was very knowledgeable about the points of interest that we visited. It was easy to locate him when leaving the ship 🚢. Would suggest this trip to get a good overview of St. Thomas.

Best experience

Lori_M, Dec 2023

We loved this excursion! Would book a hundred times over! Cayenna (sp) and captain Alex were great! Cayenna was always helpful getting anything we needed from the boat and playing with kids. She was also so instrumental in helping get them in and out of the water! I truly regret that Alex had to remind me that we did not tip 20% … they worked hard for every penny!

Forbes in STT

Dedra_F, Jul 2023

Abraham was an awesome guide and conversationalist! Very knowledgeable not just about STT, but the island of Jamaica where my family and I have roots. We had a great time touring, exploring, and sharing with him. Def recommend!!!

Great taxi, not a tour per se.

Jason_P, May 2023

The tour operator was very nice and the vehicle was great, it was large and air conditioned, and comfortable. The tour itself was average, I wish that there had been a microphone so that we could hear the guide a little better. No real highlights outside of a viewing area that we pulled off and then the mountain top. I feel like it was a little expensive for what we actually received. If you are just looking for a fancy taxi service, this was great, but I would not really call it a tour.

Great Experience

Josiana_D, Mar 2023

I booked this tour for 8 family members, they had an amazing time. Big Moe is so kind and professional. The tour was fun and informative - my family had a blast, they will return.

Great tour for the family

Takisha_L, Jun 2022

Had a fun time on the tour with Big Moe. He entertained my family (11 people; age range 2 to 62) with ease. He provided interesting info and answered all our questions no matter how silly. The company itself was very prompt in responding to my questions via text and phone before the tour. Tour was a good deal compared to prices offered for the cruise line excursions. Big Moe did arrive 10 minutes late for our meeting time, but I will chalk that up to being on island time. Would recommend.

Karimah_S, Jan 2021

Big Moe was awesome... loved the vibe and knowledge, very personable and loved by ALL who know him. It is obvious he is loved by his customer both past and present.

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Great way to see the entire island

Paul_N, Dec 2020

Wow! If you want to not only see the points of interest on St. Thomas but hear the history, this is the way to go. Big Mike picked us up at our hotel and escorted us to all the places that are a must to see. He was so informative and personable. Well worth the time

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Time well spent

Paul_N, Nov 2020

Best part of the trip. Big Moe was the best. We found out so much about the island that you couldn’t find out unless you really dug into the history. We saw all the places that were important . Seeing the island from the tallest point gave you a real view of how the island was laid out. Definitely take this tour with Big Moe

Response from Host, Mar 2021

A great tour

Paul_N, Nov 2020

This was the last part of our trip. We had never been to St. Thomas before and this was a great overview of the island. Our guide, Big Moe, was entertaining and instructive. He not only drove us to all of the important places to see, but he gave the history and information that you would have never seen or heard going by yourself. This was especially great since we did this on our first day so as we traveled around the island for the rest of our time here, we knew where we were , so we never got lost. I would really recommend this tour and definitely ask for Big Moe.

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Unprecedented!!

KAREN_H, Nov 2020

Big Moe knows where all the best deals are!! He was very knowledgeable & had fair pricing! We ended up calling him a lot to taxi us around during our stay! Cannot wait for our next visit- we will definitely reach out to him again & will recommend to all family & friends headed to beautiful St. Thomas!!

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Fantastic tour

Odeline_G, Aug 2020

Big Moe is very knowledgeable professional, and took time to explained the history of every places we visited. I highly recommend booking with him.

St. Thomas Up Close & Personal

lewiscrew, Feb 2020

Big Moe was outstanding in every way! Very knowledgeable about island, went above & beyond to make our trip an incredible memory! Stopped at extra sites, coordinated pick up at beach & local restaurant after the tour. ABSOLUTE 5 star experience! Can’t say enough about our time with him.

St.Thomas tour

Kathy_D, Feb 2020

Moe was the best! He took our last minute booking and went above and beyond! He even took us to a local spot for dinner and came back for us after!

Response from Host, Jun 2020

Go with Big Moe!

rcgrant22, Aug 2019

This tour was everything that was advertised. Big Moe was a wonderful tour guide and a great photographer (he knew the best camera angles for beautiful landscape pics). The views were incredible and Big Moe was very knowledgeable of the island and a great navigator Don't miss out on this experience it's worth it.
