What’s the experience like?

The air felt warm and salty as we hopped into our van right outside the hotel—no waiting around, just a quick hello from our driver, Marcus, who grew up here on St. Thomas. He had that easy way of telling stories, mixing in bits about the old Danish buildings and where to find the best johnnycakes (he swears by a spot near Market Square). The ride was smooth, AC humming quietly, windows framing flashes of turquoise water and those steep green hills you see on postcards.

We made a quick stop at Moe’s Fresh Market—Marcus said it’s smart to grab snacks or drinks before heading downtown since things get busy later. Inside, you could smell ripe mangoes and hear someone chatting in Spanish near the bakery counter. Back in the van, he pointed out spots we’d never have noticed: a tiny church tucked behind palm trees, a mural painted by local kids. Every so often he’d slow down so we could snap photos or ask questions—like how Carnival changes up Main Street every April.

The whole tour felt relaxed but packed with little discoveries. We weren’t rushed; if someone wanted to linger at a lookout or needed an extra minute wrangling their stroller, it was no big deal. By the time we got dropped off downtown, we had a list of places to check out and knew how to get around without feeling lost. It’s not just a ride—it’s like having a friend show you their favorite corners of St. Thomas.
