Great personalized tour

staceyh9899, 12-01-2020

We arrived on Freedom of the Seas. My husband and I had been to St. Martin on our honeymoon and we were excited to show our kids the places we went. Judensy (sp?) took us to all of the places we wanted to go, and showed us some other places we didn't know about. The cruise line warned us not to go to the French side, but we went with absolutely no problems. He had a lot of information about the island. Highlights were Orient Beach and the zipline.

Bernard’s Tours are the Best!

I’ve been on many of Bernard’s tours over the years and every single one has been fantastic.
This time, on Dec 12, 2019, we did a private island tour with 43 of us in 2 buses. Our guides were The Mailman & DJ Dave; both are fabulous! If you want a terrific tour of the island- Grand Cas Beach, Maho Beach, French Market; all kinds of sights to see, I highly recommend taking a Bernard Tour. They provide beverages, including their famous rum punch and also keep you smiling the whole time.
Thank you again, Bernard, The Mailman and DJ Dave. See you on my next trip! xo

Fabulous private island tour with Diane

mckinna1, 02-06-2019

We’ve used Bernard’s tours before when visiting St Martin. This time since there was 7 of us we booked the private island tour, and our driver was Diane. She was so wonderful- she helped plan our day based around seeing the island- both French and Dutch sides, a beach break for swimming, shopping and Maho Beach for the airplanes. She gave us an overview of the hurricane impact and slow recovery since, and how difficult that has been since the Dutch side really depends on tourism for jobs and their economy. We made several stops on both sides of the islands, and we had a good stop at Orient Beach for some swimming time. I don’t think it’s been open that long for visitors since the hurricane. There’s a restaurant and bathrooms there, plus you can rent loungers and beach umbrellas. We went to the French side for a quick food break at a bakery there for some tasty sandwiches and pastries then finished the day at Maho Beach to watch the planes land. Despite a long traffic jam caused by some road construction repairs (it took up about 50 minutes of our 6 hour tour), she made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to us for us back to the ship in plenty of time. She was such a wonderful tour guide for us- we’ve been on lots of island tours during our numerous cruises and I think Diane is our very favorite one. She also had a good supply of water, Caribe beer and some yummy rum punch as well. I would highly recommend the private custom tours because you can set your own schedule of things to do. The one recommendation for improvement I would make is to be more specific in the emails about where to meet the tour once we have disembarked from the ship- we kind of knew where to meet since we’ve toured with them before, but I know it can be confusing for first time folks. St Martin is so beautiful and I hope it continues it’s recovery from the hurricane.

We did private 6 hour tour of St. Maarten. David was our tour guide. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful and informative guide he was. He took us all over the island--Dutch and French side. We saw so many interesting things and we learned so much about the history of the island. Great job David!

Perfect Tour with a Fantastic Local Tour Guide

suzanneh35, 22-01-2020

We booked a private tour last minute for Christmas day so I was a little worried about how that would turn out. We ended up having the most amazing tour guide, Augustine. She showed us so much of the island and told us so much about history as well as local life. We've done private tours around the world and I felt like Augustine really let us into her life and personality more than other tour guides have.

She took us to the perfect spot on Orient Bay Beach. It was not at all busy and was by a brand new restaurant with clean restrooms and changing facilities. We wanted to also see Maho beach, so she took us there at the perfect time to see several big airplanes land.

I highly recommend Bernard's Tours and Augustine specifically. I plan to be back and do another tour with her someday.
