Good & varied selection of visits to french side & capital also famous beach with planes landing was Fab & well worth fighting the crowds at this popular spot. Would have liked more than the 45 mins at Marigot to see the fort ideally but still great value and a lot of stops to see the sights.

Mr. No Stress RULES
Leonard_G
, Mar 2020
A great tour of the island. We enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. No Stress! We had a small group and we were able to spend the perfect time in each location. Pick up was easy! Drop off was perfect. He took us to a local eatery that was delicious. One thing we learned is to take cash! Lots of places on the island do not accept credit cards! Amigo Tours was great and we will use them again when we return. As travel writers, we know a good tour leader when we are in his presence. We've seen lots and Mr. No Stress is one of the best. Cheers.

This tour was a wonderful overview of the countries of Sint Maartin(Dutch) and Saint Martin(French) - and while it was time limited due to the distance that we needed to cover - it was a nice sample of the island life - I loved my trip to this island and woud love ot return again.
