We recently visited St Martin and was looking for a good tour around the island and its highlights. Luckily, we found Seagrape Tours which was able to accommodate all our requirements. We booked 2 tours with the agency- 1) Island History and 2) Hiking Tour. Ilja was very quick and professional in responding and made sure all our queries were addressed. David is very knowledgeable about the entire island and shared so many stories about its history and culture. Also, as we were with a little child, David made sure the little one was very comfortable. By the end of the tour, you are rewarded with very tasty homemade treats (Ilja takes care of that). I would like to thank both Ilja and David for making our holiday memorable and would highly recommend Seagrape Tours to all St Martin visitors.

This was our 2nd time working with Jo. He provided us with details on how to meet him at the cruise port. He introduced us to our driver and told us to have a great day. We had previously worked out a schedule with Jo in advance of where we all wanted to go for the day. There were 6 of us and we had a private bus to ourselves for a very reasonable cost. They provided us with water, beer, and rum punch on the bus. We toured the whole island, Orient Bay for some beach time, Grand Case for lunch at the lolos, Maho for some airplane beach time and Philipsburg for some shopping and afternoon snacks and drinks time. We departed in Philipsburg so we had to find our own way back to the ship based on the time frame we paid for. All and all it was a great day, the traffic in Simpson Bay set us back a bit so we didn’t have time for all of our stops. Our group are all craft beer lovers, so we asked our 1st stop to be the new island brewery called Caribbean Brewing Company. Our driver was not aware of the brewery, but we researched ahead and guided him to the location.

We used Kathy Royer for pretty much our whole trip for taxi service around the island. The van was new and clean and she was always prompt and showed up when we called. She offered great advice on where to go. They took our temperature everytime we got in the car as a precaution against the virus. We felt totally safe with her and will use her again when we return

St Maarten did not permit us to dock so our shore excursion never took place. We hope our $76.94 is returned.
