This was a great experience. The tour was very interesting and the driver knowledgeable. If you want a great beach day, Magens was fabulous. The banana daiquiri At the top that of the Mountain is wonderful. We Highly recommend this excursion!

    St Thomas tour and beach

    Samantha_F, Mar 2026
    The tour and beach were wonderful! Such a beautiful island. Magens Bay beach is busy but a great beach for swimming with sea turtles. Mountain top has a great view but was very busy. Transportation was in a typical St Thomas taxi which made the tour guide difficult to hear. Hamblet was a punctual and helpful guide.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much, Samantha for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a wonderful time at Magens Bay—it truly is a beautiful spot, and spotting sea turtles makes it even more special 🐢💙 We’re glad you appreciated the stunning views from Mountain Top as well, even with the crowds—it’s definitely a popular stop for a reason! We also truly appreciate your kind words about Hamblet. We’ll be sure to pass along your feedback—he’ll be happy to know he made a positive impression with his punctuality and helpfulness. We do apologize for the difficulty hearing the guide during transportation. Your feedback is very important to us, and we’ll continue working on ways to improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable visit to St. Thomas!

    Ride to beach with few stops

    Jamie_S, Mar 2026
    The tour was easy to find after getting off ship. It was basically a ride to the beach and few places to take some nice pics. You could not hear what the driver was saying about the area while riding in the open air bus because the intercom on bus was quite faint. We stopped at mountain top and that was ok. A store for souvenirs, you can get a daiquiri, and take pic overlooking Magen’s Bay.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Jamie, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that the tour was easy to locate after disembarking and that you enjoyed the scenic photo stops, especially the views overlooking Magens Bay. We sincerely apologize for the issue with the intercom on the open-air bus. We understand how important it is to clearly hear the driver’s commentary, as it adds so much value to the overall experience. Your feedback has been noted, and we will be addressing this with our team to help improve communication during the tour. We appreciate your honest review and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.

    Depends on the driver

    Debra_D, Feb 2026
    This would have been a great experience if we had had a good driver. Our driver, Robert, was arrogant and rude. First, he did not want to pick us up at the time that was previously established by the tour operator. On our way to the cruise ship dock to pick up the other passengers on our tour, he did not point out a single highlight of the island, such as the castles, 99 Steps or Emancipation Park. He instead proceeded to give us a lecture on the importance of communication, of all things. When we arrived at Mountain Top, we were rushed through it with less than 30 minutes to spend there. I had to throw half of my world famous banana daiquiri in the trash because there was no time to finish it before getting back in Robert’s vehicle where a very prominent sign was posted that no food or drink was allowed in the vehicle. Much more time was allotted at Magen’s Bay than in the tour operator’s description, I suspect so that Robert would have time to complete another job. When he arrived to pick us up he proceeded to lecture us that we had better not get any sand in his vehicle. It is an island and we were on the beach, but he did not want sand in the car??? Omg… Lastly, he spent a considerable amount of time during the drive on his phone, loudly talking to an individual regarding repairs and trade in value on another of his vehicles. On the return back to our hotel, he did not speak a single word to either myself or my partner, apparently considering that his job was now done. The island is beautiful and the sights are amazing, if you have the right driver. Robert is not that driver and I would not recommend this tour in the chance that you would be assigned him as the driver.

    Great tour

    Keri_M, Feb 2026
    Hamblet was a great tour operator. Very clear instructions and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. We decided after the beach at Magens Bay to take a taxi back. Aw just WhatsApp him told him the plan and we were on our way.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴✨ We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time on the St. Thomas Island Tour and that Hamblet made your experience smooth and enjoyable. Clear communication and flexibility are very important to us, so we’re happy everything worked out perfectly — especially coordinating your return plans via WhatsApp. We truly appreciate you choosing to tour with us, and we hope to welcome you back to St. Thomas again soon! 🌊☀️

    The views were good, but...

    Brad_N, Feb 2026
    The views were good, but getting to them was a horrible winding road. The “best”banana daiquiri” in the word shop was just a big store with what everyone else has. Magens beach was beautiful though. We should have stayed in the city itself.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Hello Brad_N, thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views and your time at Magens Bay — it truly is one of the highlights of St. Thomas. 🌊☀️ We understand that the winding mountain roads can feel challenging, especially if you’re not used to that terrain. The scenic drive is part of what allows access to those breathtaking viewpoints, but we completely understand that it may not be comfortable for everyone. We also appreciate your thoughts about Mountain Top. It’s a popular stop for its panoramic views and famous banana daiquiris, though we understand experiences and expectations can vary. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like yours helps future guests make the best choice for their vacation style. We hope you were still able to create some wonderful memories during your visit to St. Thomas.

    We were seated in an open air mini bus. Our driver Hamblet, was very personable. He took family photos for all. He was dependable and right on time.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴✨ We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time on the St. Thomas Island Tour with Mountain Top and Magens Bay Beach.

He truly enjoys making our guests feel welcome — and we love that he helped capture those family photo moments for you. 📸💛 Thank you again for choosing to tour with us. We hope to welcome you back to beautiful St. Thomas in the future!

    Fun day!

    Ver fun trip through Charlotte Amalie, Mountain Top and Magans Bay. Beautiful views, crazy hilly roads. The beach was calm and clear. A little crowded but plenty of room in the water.

    Hello Heather_R, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the drive through Charlotte Amalie, the views from Mountain Top, and the clear, calm waters at Magens Bay. The island roads are definitely an adventure, and we’re happy to hear the beach time was relaxing despite the crowds. We hope to welcome you back for another tour soon.

    craig_g, Jan 2026
    First parts of the tour a little rushed and then spent a lot of time at the beach. Wish the guide was more open to how much time we wanted to spend at the stops. Also had a mix up where the wrong drive contacted us about being picked up 30 minutes early and created an issue.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Hi Craig, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the beach portion of the tour, and we appreciate your honest comments about the rest of the experience. We’re sorry to hear that the earlier stops felt rushed and that there was some confusion with the pickup time due to the wrong driver contacting you. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how that could be frustrating. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’ll be reviewing both our scheduling communication and how guides check in with guests about timing at each stop. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope we’ll have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother, more flexible experience on a future visit.

    Dissapointed

    Michael_L, Jan 2026
    We booked this as a tour, but turned out to be a cab ride to various locations. The cabby was very nice and his cab was extremely clean, but he did not speak much so we didn’t learn much about St Thomas. Magan’s Bay was beautiful and a great place to spend a few hours on the beach.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Hi Michael_L, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed Magens Bay and that your driver was friendly and kept the vehicle clean, that’s always important to us. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t feel as informative as you expected. Our St. Thomas Island Tours are designed to include both transportation and guided commentary, so we appreciate you letting us know that this part of your experience fell short. Your comments will be shared with our team so we can make sure our drivers continue to provide the engaging and informative experience guests are looking for. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope we have the chance to provide you with an even better experience on your next visit to the island.

    Great experience!

    Nicole_M, Jan 2026
    Wonderful experience on an open air vehicle. Our driver/guide Hambled was very kind. (A bit difficult to hear info from speakers though) - fantastic views and beautiful beach! Loved it!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you so much Nicole_M, for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience and enjoyed the open-air ride, stunning views, and time at the beach.

We’re glad you loved the tour and hope to welcome you back to the island again soon! 🌴

    Good tour

    Lauran_H, Jan 2026
    Easy to locate on the pier from our ship. Took us around and gave us a spiel about the island. We had just over two hours at the beach. It was a perfect half day.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lauran_H! We’re happy to hear that the tour was easy to locate from the pier and that you enjoyed learning about the island along the way. It’s great to know the beach time felt just right and that the tour made for a perfect half day. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back on another island adventure in the future.

    Hard to hear the guide during the tour

    marina_m, Dec 2025
    The tour itself was fine and well organized, and the driver was polite. Unfortunately, none of the passengers could clearly understand the explanations during the drive. Several people complained because the microphone did not work properly. The sound was very low and unclear, especially for those sitting in the back, making it impossible to understand what the driver was explaining. As a result, we mostly observed the surroundings but missed all the information and context that a guided tour should provide. This was frustrating, as the issue affected the entire group. I strongly recommend fixing or upgrading the audio system so that everyone can fully enjoy and understand the tour.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, marina_m. We’re glad to hear that you found the tour well organized and that our driver was polite. We sincerely apologize for the issue with the microphone and audio system during your tour. We understand how important clear narration is to the overall experience, and we’re very sorry that this affected your ability to fully enjoy and understand the information being shared. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Please know that we take your comments seriously. We have already shared this feedback with our operations team and are actively addressing the audio equipment to ensure it is properly working and clear for all guests, especially those seated toward the back. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

    Great trip but prepare to be on island time.

    Kristin_A, Dec 2025
    Beautiful island and beach. Would be 5 stars but the driver was on island time and we had to race back to the ship. We were 45 minutes later than the time it said we would be back. We have visited and done this tour twice. Same issue both times. Just give yourself extra time

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Kristin_A, and for choosing our tour again. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beauty of the island and the beach. We sincerely apologize for the delay and understand how stressful it can be to feel rushed when returning to the ship. Your feedback is important to us, and we’ll be addressing timing and scheduling with our team to improve this experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation to allow extra time and hope to provide you with a smoother, five-star experience on your next visit.

    An afternoon with ALL the views!

    Elizabeth_T, Nov 2025
    It was a great day, just really hard to hear the guide while in the truck because it is super noisy from all of the outside traffic and the jingles and jangles of the truck itself. It would be amazing if they had the speaker centrally located inside the truck so all participants could hear the guides better. Hamlet our tour guide was wonderful.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you, Elizabeth! We're so glad to hear you had a great day and that Hamlet was a wonderful guide. We understand the challenge of hearing the guide due to outside traffic noise and the truck, and we appreciate your suggestion to place the speaker centrally inside the vehicle. We'll definitely consider this for future tours to enhance the experience for everyone. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Beware of this business!

    Jacqueline_D, Jun 2025
    Our ship docked a few minutes late. I texted twice and spoke on the phone twice to let our guide know we were on the way. We were exactly 10 minutes late to our meeting spot at the windmill. They left without us and refused to refund our money, saying since other people from our ship were there on time, we should have been as well. We were on the 2nd largest cruise ship in the world. Getting off the ship with 4,000 other people took a few minutes. When I called to ask where they were, and was told they already left without us, I was yelled at that we should have been on time. Yes, I agree, but I did communicate directly a total of 4 times to reassure them we were hurrying as fast as we could. Very unprofessional. Do not recommend doing business with them. Other tour guides in the area attempted to call that business for us but they would not pick up the phone. The other tours guides agreed that since we communicated several times, waiting 10 minutes would have been appropriate. Thank goodness we found another group to join and our day turned out okay.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Dear Jacqueline, Your tour departed one hour after the ship arrival, giving you appropriate time to meet your tour guide. There were eleven guest taking the tour from your ship. You were the only people who didn't make the tour. We're sorry for any disappointment in missing our tour. Waiting ten minutes may have been appreciated. To respect all guests, we must depart on time, as not to inconvenience other guests who took the time to arrive on time. We appreciate your understanding. FYI, We do give clients a grace period of five minutes. We reached out to you several times to confirm your pick-up details without a response. Our business is a professional organization that respects all our guests. Drivers do not answer phone calls after the tour begins.

    Very nice man and good driver. Roads rather treacherous. Skip back seats unless you like roller coasters

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much, Georgia, for taking the time to leave a review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with your driver. The roads in St. Thomas can definitely be a bit adventurous, and your roller coaster comment is both fun and a helpful heads-up for future guests. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

    Hamblet, our tour guide, was great! Very knowledgeable about points of interest, took us to mountain top (world famous banana 🍌 daiquiri), magens bay ( 2 hr stop) and pulled over at various spots for photo opportunities and snippets of history! Do this tour!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much, Lori! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring St. Thomas with Hamblet. He truly enjoys sharing the island’s stories and showing off its best views—sounds like you got the full experience, banana daiquiris and all! We really appreciate your enthusiastic recommendation and hope to see you again on another tour soon!

    TripAdvisor & Great Explorations Tours are AMAZING!

    Ava_S, Jun 2025
    We highly recommend this tour to anyone whether with a partner, friends or solo this is a "must see & do." I was looking for tours that would allow me to experience the "culture, people, & history" that is unique ONLY to the beautiful US Virgin Islands specifically St. Thomas. Great customer service from beginning to end. My correspondence with Angela & Josie whom was very accommodating, friendly, detail oriented, quick to respond, provided updates & constant communication with me leading up to the tour. Our driver HAMBLET was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable, friendly & accommodating as well. For example: Our hotel was not offered as a pickup option for our tour, however Hamblet & the team made it convenient for us and picked us up from our hotel anyway. JOB WELL DONE TO GREAT EXPLORATIONS TOURS TEAM! Thanks also to TRIPADVISOR for NEVER disappointing me as I have relied on your tour recommendations for a number of trips both domestic and internationally!

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you so much, Ava, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with our team—Angela, Josie, and Hamblet will be so happy to know they helped make your St. Thomas tour unforgettable. We're especially glad we could accommodate your pickup and provide the cultural, historical, and personal touches you were looking for. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us, and we truly appreciate you choosing Great Explorations Tours.

    Very good tour... make sure you know when and where to meet your guide!

    Debra_S, Jun 2025
    We scheduled this tour during our cruise ship's St. Thomas stop. It did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Hamln, was very good. He taught us about the island as he drove (excellent driver... we felt very safe, even as we drove the hills and sharp curves along the way). The first part of the tour stopped at a couple of sites that were great for taking photos, before heading to the Mountain Top for our Banana Daiquiris. At Mountain Top, we got some excellent photos, especially looking down on Magens Bay Beach. The place where the daiquiris were made was also a souvenir shop. It was quite large and a good place if you wanted to bring home something or get gifts for others. Some souvenir stores have very inflated prices, but I thought there were enough options that you could find something in every price range and not feel like you were suckered into paying too much for whatever you chose. Then, it was down the mountain to Magens Bay Beach for the afternoon. The beach was great. We don't like to spend too much time in the direct sun, so we rented 2 chaise lounges and an umbrella (I think it was $40 total) and that was a good choice for us. The only issue we had with the tour was confusion about where and when we needed to meet (our tour was scheduled for 1:30pm, but we were expected to meet Hamlin at 12:15pm - we didn't know about that. Fortunately, he CALLED us and we rushed off the ship so we didn't hold up the group. That was the only hiccup of our tour and better communication from Viator could have prevented it. Other than that, I'd recommend the tour. We had a very good afternoon.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you, Debra, for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour, from the scenic photo stops and Mountain Top views to relaxing at Magens Bay Beach. We're happy to hear Hamlin made the experience safe and informative. We apologize for the mix-up with the meeting time—thank you for your patience, and we’re working with Viator to improve communication. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on a future island adventure!

    Nice tour, but they cut it too close for comfort getting back to our cruise ship

    Steven_B, May 2025
    Nice tour, great sites. Unfortunately, we were very concerned. We’re gonna miss our ship, Viator says this is a four hour tour, but when we finally left the beach an hour before our cruise ship was going to leave, the driver said we “should be there in time.” We made it in time, but when they say it’s a four hour tour, it really should not be a 4.5 hour tour, making you worried about missing your ship.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Thank you for your feedback, Steven. We're glad you enjoyed the tour and the sights of St. Thomas. We understand your concern about the timing and apologize for any stress caused. We can assure you in our 25 years of providing tours we have never missed a ship. Our clients can rest assured in this knowledge and enjoy a stress-free excursion. I understand from the driver you arrived one hour prior to ship's departure. Forty minutes before last call. Your comments are valuable, and we'll use them to improve scheduling and communication. We're happy you enjoyed touring with us.

    Great 4 hours

    If small group you will be in large taxi I would have preferred an open vehicle so we didn't have to climb out every time we wanted to take a picture.

    The driver, Hamblet, is exceptionally knowledgeable about the island and its rich history. The views were incredible, the time to do things like shop and swim was perfect. The roads are pretty rough and can make things a little difficult to hear the driver's commentary due to the noise of the vehicle on the road. But that is minimal compared to the rest of the experience.
