Top Things to do in St. Thomas
The 10 Best Private Tours in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Like all of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas has plenty of opportunities to lounge on the beach, splash in the sea, or amp it up with watersports. It also boasts a bountiful duty-free shopping scene – just be prepared to brave the cruise ship crowds. Charlotte Amalie swells with Danish colonial architecture and pirate legend. Shiver ye timbers at Blackbeard’s Castle, then work up an appetite by climbing the historic 99 Steps, constructed from the ballast bricks of 18th century Danish ships.

We were picked up promptly and on time from the airport in a large passenger van, and our tour of the island began with some shopping in Charlotte Amelia, followed by some site seeing of the beautiful island. Slightly disappointed as I was hoping for a lunch stop or a bite to eat. Otherwise, the tour and our driver Mr. Sunny was great! Our tour ended being dropped off at our resort in time for a late afternoon check-in.

The day before my tour, I reached out to make sure the tour was still on as I hadn’t gotten any confirmation. They texted me late in the evening saying they would be picking me up 15 minutes early. The morning of the tour, the pickup time came and went. I reached out to them and they were like “Oh yeah, we forgot you. We didn’t have time to come get you”. What??? The tour guide told me to get a cab to meet them at a location downtown. The whole pickup experience was ridiculous. I was able to connect with the group downtown and the guide reimbursed me for the cab, but it was not a good start to my day and I missed an hour of the experience. The same had happened to other people as well. If you don’t have time to pick someone up, tell them earlier, don’t offer it was part of the tour, or leave enough time to pick everyone up. I do not recommend this tour.

An absolute fantastic day of sailing with Rob and Deb on the Cosmos. Deb was wonderful and efficient in the booking and followup to have everything planned and worry free. We were served a gourmet lunch with Lumpo Crab cakes and fresh salad. Rob was great to chat with and historian of the USVI. Ive booked many sailboat cruises from Barbados, S Florida, Cayman Island, SF Bay, etc. This was the best one. Such great people to hang with for the day. Hope to Sail again soon. Could not imagine a better sailing trip out of St Thomas. Perhaps an invite to make the trip South in August?? :))
