ctrinco Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Our family of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids - 14,11,11,8) are booking a private tour in St Martin for the day. Bernard is $480 and Joyce is $400. Both include drinks along the way - I believe Bernard is 6 hrs, Joyce 5 hrs. Any personal experience that would help me choose one over the other?

BrentD Posted January 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Used Bernard's the only time I've been to SXM and enjoyed thoroughly. In fact, it ended up being only myself and a couple from Germany. So it was practically a private tour for $40. I'm not so sure I wouldn't have just canceled if I were the operator when only that many people show up, so I was impressed they did it anyway. Was nice and informative, and a nice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrinco Posted March 21, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We ended up going with Bernard - had a great time - but still lots of devastation there. I’m sure you can’t go wrong with either.

Rare mdin Posted April 13, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My family and I will be on a cruise in February 2019 with a stop in St. Maarten. We are thinking of doing the Bernard tour. How far in advance should we book the tour? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlodog Posted April 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 18, 2018 We booked for September with Joyce. I used Bernard's tour the last time we were there, but it was a shared tour not a private one. We will have our 4 year old granddaughter with us this time and I wanted a private tour. Joyce was very responsive and even called me so we could discuss over the phone exactly what we are looking for. We will follow-up a few weeks before our cruise to confirm. She was very kind and said not to worry, we will take as much time as our granddaughter needs for the day. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txtexastraveler Posted April 21, 2018 #17 Share Posted April 21, 2018 We just came back from our cruise and we did a tour with Joyce. I would highly recommend her. She picked us up in a nice van and based on what our group wanted to do she suggested several places. We had a private tour for the 5 of us. She also provided water and the best rum punch! We would use her services again if we go back to St Maarten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie2703 Posted April 22, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Anyone know how large of a group Bernard/Joyce does? We have a group of 3 families of 4. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttu Posted April 30, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Bump. Anyone know how big a group Joyce does? Bernard does large groups for sure. Any pricing details for both with 15-20 people group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBCruiser Posted May 3, 2018 #20 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm e-mailing Joyce for a tour in November. She has been very responsive. I'm trying to get an idea of things to do there, any recommendations? There will be 4 adults and one in our party cannot do a beach, (had skin cancer so avoids direct sun). She is going to do the tour, 6 hours, total $300 which sounds very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
