Out driver was excellent. Efficient and courteous. And most important one heck of a driver. The roads are perilous particularly going up the mountains. Our driver handled it all with ease. We had just the right amount of time in all out stops. Got a great overview of St. Thomas. I would highly recommend this excursion. My mom was using a walker and had mobility issues, our driver was very courteous and helpful to mom. I cant thank him enough.

Had an amazing time on this tour. Sunny Liston was at the port waiting for us to board the open side safari type truck was was great for view as we climb the mountain top. Lots of singing and dancing in our seats. The cruisers on this tour was friendly and fun as sunny gave information on the island

I went on this tour with Sunny Liston on Feb 14 2018, andI liked this tour but felt it was rushed. I had specifically chosen the 10am timeslot departure to get 2 hours of shopping in downtown Charlotte Ameilia of St Thomas, however , we only had an hour to shop. There were 3 timeslot departures to choose from depending on how much time you wanted to shop. We also visited Mountain top which had amazing scenes and we had like 20 minutes there to shop at the huge gift shop and get a banana daquiri. Again, I wish we had more time at Mountain Top as well. When booking this tour I thought they would stop at each of the 3 beaches mentioned Magen's Bay, Coki beach, Sapphire beach so we could choose which one we wanted to go to and then they would pick us up at whichever beach we had chosen. On my tour we ended up at Magen's Bay since majority wanted to go there. It was a very nice beach, but would've liked to have had a stop at each beach so we could pick the one we wanted to visit. I just felt the tour description is a bit misleading. We got to see the popular tourist attractions which were all very nice but felt this tour was fast-paced and would've been nice it was slower paced with more time to spend at the various stops. However, we did get 2 hours at Magen's Bay which I felt was sufficient amount of time to relax and enjoy this beautiful beach.

We enjoyed our shopping and tour of St. Thomas. Our guide was very energetic and full of songs and stories. The shopping was about 40 minutes and could have been longer as other ships had docked too. We would recommend this tour. We did not go to the beach.

My wife and I really enjoyed this excursion to St. Thomas. Our tour guide was born and raised on the island and was friendly, and new all about everything on the island. He didn't give his real name, only said to call him Dr. Taxi Love! He made the tour full of fun and even sang songs to us. A-one tour. Best we've been on! Thanks, Dr. Taxi Love

This tour started off badly. We met our guide at the designated place and then was taken to the tour bus where he told us he would take us to town for shopping. I advised that I did not choose the shopping tour-- just the sightseeing. So....he moved us to another bus where we sat in the parking lot for about 15 minutes before being driven into the heart of town. Once there we were told to exit that bus and wait for another that would be there in about 20 minutes. We started to explore and then the bus arrived about 5 minutes after we were dropped off. What was all this for? We were now back on the bus that we started with.....30 minutes of our tour time gone for nothing. Once on our way, the tour could have done with a little more commentary. The tour did takes us to the top of the mountain but during our 'climb' up the mountain road there was no comments from the driver until we got up to the observation deck. We did see a lot of destruction due to Hurricane Irma but on the whole the beauty of the island remains. We made three stops and I felt very rushed at all of them. More time to take in the views and take photos would have been nice....even 5 minutes more at each location. Twice I was shopping the local fare and had to grab and rush off as the bus was ready to leave. Overall the tour was acceptable and we saw a lot but there is room for improvement.

This was a mediocre trip and one that can be accomplished by just renting a cab outside the terminal. The driver was very nice and tried to be entertaining. The sight seeing tour consisted of two stops that we just ok. The beach was nice, but very packed. It was disappointing to witness the driver just using one hand or elbow while driving around very sharp turns as he had a microphone in one hand and was maneuvering cds and paperwork with the other. Safety should always be 1!

Sunny Lisbon Tours is amazing! We had such an awesome time on this tour. Our daughters ages 3 and 7 loved the fun bus and singing and dancing.

It was a great experience. The tour guide was very entertaining and fun. We really had a great time.
Review by: oselukwue, December 2017
Tour guide Sunny was very helpful in educating us about the highland. Start of tour was boring with the shopping experience that was not up to par compared to the other islands. The ride up the hills to view the scenery was amazing from the Mountain Top Shop. The banana rum drink is a bit overrated. Don't waist your almost 11 for this cup of drink. We decided to visit Sapphire beach instead of Magen's Bay just because it is free.

I hate to give a negative review because of something that is out of the tour company's hands, like the weather, so I gave this a middle of the road rating. Here's a breakdown of how out tour went:_br/_ When we got to St. Thomas, it took us a little bit to find our tour guide Elvis, but once we did, he was polite and professional. We were going to buy water but he told us there was no need because he would give us all of the complimentary water we'd like. This was really nice and a money saver._br/_ Our first stop was shopping in Little Switzerland. It would have been nice to have been given some advice or direction for shopping, but he just dropped us off on a street between a local vendor flea market type place, and the more high end stores and told us to go shop, and meet me back here in an hour and a half._br/_ Our next stop was the Mountain Top where you get a view of much of the island and the other surrounding US Virgin Islands. The problem here was that on the way to the Mountain Top, it started pouring rain. When we got to the Mountain Top, you couldn't see anything from the view point so there wasn't much more to do than walk around the shop which was still about 50 closed off due to hurricane damage, and have a banana daiquiri which are a little over priced, but I do recommend them._br/_ From there we went to Magens Bay. By this time the rain had mostly stopped, but I'm not sure if it was because we were behind schedule, or it's just how it is, but we only had about 20 minutes there, so it ended up being more like a bathroom break than anything._br/_ My wife and I had paid the extra 10 per person for some beach time, which was supposed to be out next stop, but it had started raining again, so we didn't get to do this either._br/_ Our next stop was supposed to be back to the cruise terminal, but since my wife and I hadn't been able to make our beach stop, Elvis offered to drop us off for more shopping and said he'd return to pick us up later on. We agreed to do this and took the time having a great lunch at the Greenhouse Restaurant and Bar, and some drinks at a bar right across the parking lot. We returned to the meeting point at the time we agreed to, and a co-worker or Elvis' was there to pick us up and drop us off at the cruise terminal._br/_ All-in-all, I'd say most of the negatives that came out of the tour were related to the bad weather. Elvis was friendly and professional, but could have been a little more informative about St. Thomas during the drives as we heard many of the tour guides were that were driving right along side us for most of the day. It's good to see St. Thomas making progress in recovering after the massive destruction from the hurricanes!

The tour was great. There was a lot for you to see and Taxi Love was a lot of fun. The only reason I didn't rate this a 5 was because you are given a choice of one of two beaches and majority rules. The group on my tour chose Magens Bay and that beach was ENTIRELY too crowded! The food was too expensive and that's after paying the entrance fee. It definitely wasn't the beach I would have chosen but I was just one person in a tour of 25 people. Other than that, I had a great time.

Too long for shopping too much time spent on same mountain would rather have spent more time at the beach. Our guide Elvis would keep us waiting would not do this tour again.
Review by: Monique R, July 2017
Although this tour had a lot to offer, it just missed the mark on what could have been so much more amazing. First of all, the shopping part of the tour is way too long 3 hrs outside in the hot sun! A half hour would have been sufficient. Every other shop is a jewelry store with the owners of the stores lining the streets trying to get you to shop at their store. The mountain top was the highlight for me with a beautiful, breathtaking view of Magen's Bay! We enjoyed a delicious banana daiquiri here as this is home of the original banana daiquiri. It did not disappoint however the bartender was not at all engaging and down right rude! Now if you want to shop, this is where to do it. They have everything and it's nice and cool inside. The 3 hours would have been better spent here!! We spent our beach time on Sapphire Beach which is free as opposed to Magen's Bay which is 5 because that's what most of the people in our group voted for. No one wanted to pay that extra 5 I guess we were outvoted. Needless to say Sapphire Beach was beautiful and we enjoyed swimming and sun bathing as well as delicious cheeseburgers at the restaurant there. It was quite pricey though. 36 for 2 burgers with chips, 2 cups of ice we had sodas from the tour, and my daughter ordered a fruit plate which was an unpeeled orange on a plate! I must say our tour guide could have made this trip so much more entertaining but just didn't! I don't even remember his name! We saw the other tour buses from the same company having so much fun enjoying drinks, singing, and laughing. I was jealous. Guess our guide had done this one too many times and just wasn't into it any longer. Would try another company next time or hope you get a better guide.

Love the enthusiasm of Dr.Love and the intros of the place. Too bad stress induced female period came in very inopportune time so I couldn and #39;t visit the beach.

An excellent tour with Sonny Liston Tours and Sonny was at the designated pick up point at the port on time. Sonny was a very friendly and fun guide, with great knowledge of the islands. The tour was in an open sided safari type bus and not to big a vehicle, so had great views and able to go to places where big buses couldn't. eg. Up the mountain to get great views of the islands and beaches. Lots of opportunities to take photographs and to do some shopping downtown in the numerous jewellers. No rushing and returned to the port in adequate time.

Elvis picked us up on time at the cruise port and we were load into an open party bus. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the island, and drove us to some places with great views of the island and good shopping. The beach visit was very nice, but I wish I had had more information about the tour, so that I would have brought my snorkeling equipment. The ride back to the ship was lots of fun with singing some Bob Marley and others.
Review by: Kurt M, May 2017
We had a really good time with Sunny! He had great energy and had everyone singing the entire time. I recommend signing up for the tour with the most shopping time, as we aren't big shoppers but still found plenty of interesting sites to see during our three hours in Charlotte Amalie. We passed up on Magens Bay to go to Coki Point Beach for better snorkeling, but I wish we wouldn't have. Coki Point ended up being very crowded with locals some of whom were pretty rude and pushy. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely take this tour again!

The beach part of this tour was great. The driver decided to take some more of customers when members of my family canceled._br/_ The music and sing along during the tour made the tour more lively.Awesome view on the mountain top!
