jmrcruiser Posted September 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Has anyone ever gotten a tour just by getting off the ship in St. Martin? Since I'm on vacation, I'd rather not pre-book a tour with a specific start time if we end up not feeling like going after all that day. I've researched and read good things about Joyce Prince and Bernard tours and wondering if a similar day tour is available that day. If so, has anyone done this and what experiences have the encountered. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted September 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I have seen both of those tour guides right at the pier hawking for clients. You will have no trouble finding a local guide. They need to fill their tours so you have the upper hand in price negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have used Bernard twice and liked him very much. Both times we did not have to pay a deposit because we chose a regular group tour and not a private tour. He did have a few no shows so others were able to get on last minute. Love St Martin!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted September 19, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2012 From Bernard's website: 2. Can you accomodate customers at the pier or "walk-up" customers? Do you require advanced reservations? A. Unfortunately, government regulations prevent us from entering the port areas without a valid reservation, so we cannot accept "walk-up" customers, and all reservations must be made in advance. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtaylor Posted September 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The Dutch St. Maarten Taxi Association, operating at the Cruise Facility and in downtown Philipsburg, offers a number of 'walk-up' tour options. If the text comes up in a different language, the selector is there on the left side. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
