We went on 3 Seagrape Tours during our stay in Saint Martin, the History, Museum beach lunch and Cultural Heritage. We had wonderful tour guides; Jon, Ellie and Nascha. All were knowledgeable of the island and shared a wealth of the history. We saw and experienced more than we imagined on each tour. The lunch at Aloha on Orient Beach was delicious. The small group of 6 or less was also perfect for us. We would recommend any of these tours.

I didn’t get to go on the tour, because of miss communication and no one came to the designated place to pick me up.

Werner took us on a great tour of the island, providing us with context the entire time. We learned so much about the history of the island, and about current events as well. He also brought homemade banana bread and lemongrass tea. Werner was very knowledgeable and easy going. 💯% recommended!

John was a great tour guide. As advertised it was a small group with a very knowledgeable guide. I definitely saw spots I would not have on the big bus tours and got have great conversations with a local guide as well as my fellow participants.
The Banana Bread/Cake was also very delicious!! Highly Recommend.

Instead of renting a car as we have done for over two decades, we decided to use a driver. First of all, it cost us less than a car rental because we spend most of our day on the beach. We used Anne-Marie. You can find her by looking for airport transfers on trip advisor. Her ad shows the front of a black limo. I am recommending her because she was punctual, always there when we needed her in an extremely pleasant person. I recommend her to anyone who is going to the island.

This is the third time we have booked with Seagrape Tours. St. Martin is one of our favorite Caribbean islands. This time, since my father was along on his first cruise, we booked the History Tour, as my dad's a history buff. Charles was our guide on this tour. While enjoying Charles' vast knowledge of St. Marten's fascinating history and culture, we were taken to some beautiful places with spectacular views. Due to my dad's mobility issues we had to curtail the activities that required a lot of stairs and inclines, but Charles was happy to accommodate us and gave us a narrative on what we weren't able to see. We enjoyed a snack of homemade banana bread and lemongrass tea - I am thrilled you still do this - which was a refreshing break on our tour. Thank you Seagrape tours for helping to make this trip, a trip of a lifetime for my dad. See you again on our next trip to beautiful St. Martin.

We were fortunate to be the only ones on the tour, so it was like a private tour. Our guide, not sure how to spell his name, but it almost sounded like clutch with an e, like cletch? He was a former history teacher, so he fit the part. Took us around to different museums while teaching us some of the history of the Dutch and French sides of the island. Very nice tour.

We met with our guide, Gert at Chesterfields a restaurant on the waterfront in Philipsburg. He is a retired teacher, and a pleasure to tour the island with. He showed us many points of interest and also historical importance. We also learned a few backroads and discovered a few places which we had passed before without noticing. Gert had some complimentary banana bread for us along with fresh water and iced tea. The views from Ft. St. Louis and from Bloomingdale mountaintop were spectacular. Overall a very nice tour, capped off with a visit to a local bakery and coffee shop! We recommend this tour.
