Wonderful host and a pleasant day

Christopher_W, Jan 2026
Excellent small group tour with a nice air conditioned vehicle. Brenda provided cold drinks and took us around site seeing for two hours then dropped us off at a beach for two hours before picking us up and taking us back near the cruise ship pier. Great guide!

Fantastic family adventure with a few early hiccups

Alisa_A, Jan 2025
We recently took this tour as a family of 10, ranging in age from 8 to 71, and it was the perfect experience for everyone! While the start was a bit chaotic—there was some confusion about where to meet at Wendy’s, and despite texting the operator 15 minutes before the trip, we didn’t get a response until 5 minutes past the scheduled start time—they eventually called us, and everything fell into place. Once the trip began, it completely exceeded our expectations. Franco, our guide, was fantastic! His personable demeanor and teacher-like approach (complete with having us repeat information back to him) made the experience both fun and educational. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the island, making every stop more meaningful. The little touches, like providing water, soda, and even delicious rum, added to the experience. Franco timed the stops perfectly—not too long, not too short—and made it easy to understand where to meet and when. He also offered flexibility with our time at the beach, allowing us to tailor the experience to our preferences. To top it off, Franco dropped us off directly at our cruise ship at the end, which was so convenient. Despite the rocky start, the trip itself was flawless, and we’d absolutely do it again. Highly recommend this tour—amazing in every way!

The guide, Brenda, from Frank and Brenda’s Fun Tours was exceptional. If we are blessed to come back to St Thomas, we will look for her again!

Nice afternoon

Conniejo_B, Nov 2022
Good overall survey of the island. Frank’s likes history and we all learned some new facts. The mango rum was awesome, and beach (maegans bay) was nice. Lots of people, but a beautiful afternoon.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for your review and it was our pleasure sharing our beautiful island with you. We look forward to seeing you again!

Brenda was AWESOME!!!!!!

Juhunter, Nov 2020
Although rain change our plans, our guide, Brenda, made our tour an absolute delight! Brenda is an absolute jewel. Her knowledge of the island was impressive. She gave us quite the lesson on the origin of St. Thomas and a lesson on past and present civics. We felt like we were in the most fun history course ever taught! As I mentioned, the rain prevented a day at the beach but Brenda took us to a local eatery at our request and the food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!!!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2020

Thank you very much Juhunter for your awesome review of the service that was provided to you. Absolutely... our tours can be a little flexible in the event there is rain allowing guests to get more or less of a particular portion of the tour with their approval of course. I am happy that your day wasn't totally lost and thanks again for choosing Brenda and Franko's Fun Tours. Looking forward to seeing you again:)) Sunny regards, Brenda P.
