Old San Juan was breathtaking! Our guide, Sara had an incredible amount of knowledge about the history and culture of Puerto Rico. The Cayo Caribe restaurant she recommended was delighful!

St. Maarten was incredible! Our guide Felix made the tour interesting by mixing historical facts with humor. His bus was cool and comfortable. The French bakery was divine. The beach was the prettiest turquoise color.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

St. Thomas was lovely! Our tour throughout the island especially the mountains had the most beautiful views of the coastline and Magen's Bay Beach. The famous Banana Daiquiri was delicious! Downtown has tons of stores and places to eat. The park was a nice area to relax in.
