The food was fantastic, and our guide - Alex - was personable and provided great insight on both sides of the island with Dutch and French perspectives. There was some confusion about the pick-up point for cruise ship passengers - make sure you go out of the gate like you're going to walk to tow...
The food was fantastic, and our guide - Alex - was personable and provided great insight on both sides of the island with Dutch and French perspectives. There was some confusion about the pick-up point for cruise ship passengers - make sure you go out of the gate like you're going to walk to town. I was able to contact the tour operator, and Alex came back to pick us up despite the confusion and hour delay. Props to Alex for taking it in stride.
