        Introduction to St Martin
        Had an enjoyable island tour with Brendan from Red rose island tours. The port was chaotic as 6 ships were in that day and there was a lot of traffic in the area. We met the team from Red Rose who took care of us and allowed us to wait in an air conditioned mini bus until our driver, Brendan, arrived. We drove in a brand new car which was very comfortable and Brendon catered to our requests (no time on beaches but more time to learn about the history and take photos) he also took us to a grocery store to buy snacks for when we were back in the ship. We visited Parrotville which was a lot of fun and a must do on the island, especially for children, as was feeding the Iguanas. We also climbed to Fort St Louis which had spectacular views. Overall we got a good tour of the whole island with photo ops at beautiful beaches and included time for lunch and shopping. Red Rose Island tours were well organized and willing to create an itinerary to suit the customer. Thanks for a great overview of the island.

        Excellent private tour experience of the island!
        We took a private tour with Red Rose Transportation, and it was a wonderful experience! We were there for the day off of our Cruise Ship. Our driver, Simanie, was very knowledgeable and took us everywhere we wanted to go! A cooler onboard of drinks was awesome, we got some great pics, and some excellent beach time! Dealing with Kathy in the beginning for setup was easy! The van was very comfortable and clean! It was our 25th Anniversary, and they gifted us with a bottle of guavaberry liquor at the end. Very nice!

        Excellent private tour for group of 13 friends from Cruise Ship
        Dennis was an excellent tour guide! He explained the uniqueness of St. Maarten being Dutch and French. It was an off and on rainy day, but we still had a good tour! We stopped at Orient Beach, Maho Beach to watch the aircraft take off and land, and stopped at a border crossing for pictures standing 1/2 in the Netherlands and 1/2 in France! Highly recommend Dennis and his company.

        The tour and the tour guide were outstanding! Even though my wife and I have vacationed in Saint Martin on 10 occasions, he related history and information that we knew nothing about!

        Great tour of St Maarten
        We took a private tour with Alex of Red Rose tours, he was very friendly and showed us a great time. He took us to all of the places that we were interested in and even a few more that he knew about. He is very knowledgeable about his island and was eager to share it with us. We had a great time, learned a lot and Alex made it fun! We highly recommend Red Rose tours and would use them again. We visited there on May 9th, 2024 Thank you Alex!

        Private Transportation is the way to go!
        Red Rose Transportation helped make our time in St. Martin so memorable. We hired them for private transportation as we had a specific itinerary of things we wanted to see and do. Dennis was the man! He took us to every place we wanted to see and more! It really helped us utilize our time since our ship was only in port for a short time. Not only was Dennis a great driver, but he was so friendly and we learned so much history and current information about St. Martin. It was worth every penny to have that kind of individualized attention.

        St Martin/St Maarten private tour-Dennis
        My wife and I booked a half day private tour covering the Dutch and French halves of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. Dennis was our driver/guide. He was personable, knowledgeable and shared his love for the islands, giving us excellent insights re the island, its history and the people.

        Excellent, knowledgeable, and kind…
        My husband and I had an awesome private tour with Dennis, of the whole island. He was professional, kind, relaxed, warm and friendly. He was totally knowledgeable of the history as well as the locations since he was born here. He is also highly educated and easy to understand. I like to take a lot of pictures, and we both need fairly frequent bathroom stops, and he was very accommodating with both. He took us to a delicious restaurant on the ocean in Marigot, called Lolo’s. The grilled shark, and salad, were delicious and plenty for us to share, and very reasonable too. Dennis also picked us up at the airport, and we are having them drive us tomorrow to Phillipsburg, to shop, and then on to feed parrots at Parrot Ville. We’re using them for all of our transportation needs! Thank you Red Rose Tours

        Very reliable and informative!
        Dennis was an awesome driver and guide for our all day St. Martin adventure. He was so professional and informative and took care of getting us to all the places we wanted to see and on time for our reservations. Our group went in two different directions and he juggled it all with ease. He was great and we will definitely use Red Rose again.

        Professional private/VIP service
        Our guide was Dennis and he absolutely gets 5-stars! We arrived via cruise ship and we hired a private tour. Dennis picked us up from the cruise terminal, had a bus/van full of complimentary drinks, vehicle is we clean and air conditioned,and he drove us around the entire island. I had previously been to St. Maarten so I told him the highlights I wanted to hit. Along the way he went in details of the history of St Maarten/St Martin and provided jokes and overall made it a pleasant experience. After about 10 hours, he dropped us back off at the cruise terminal. This service was professional, communications via email always had quick responses, and payment options available via cash or card. I highly recommend and would use them again next time I’m in SXM.

      We arrived into Sit Maarten as art of our cruise, Shawn was there waiting for us event when we arrived 4 hours delayed!!
      Shawn was very professional and provided us with -some alcoholic- beverages that really made our day (2 irish and 1 mexican travelling together).
      Shawn was driving us around the french and Dutch sides of the island, we could see and experiment a bit of everything in this very active day tour.
      Despite the weather was terrible, we really enjoyed the tour, something completely unexpected and very pleasant.
      Thank you Shawn for make it so special

      A group of friends and I visited St Maarten this month and had Dennis and Kathy as our private drivers during the duration of our trip (6 days). Dennis and Kathy were very professional (ALWAYS on time), nice and very resourceful. My group of friends and I felt safe the entire trip and highly recommend Red Rose Island Tour!

      Our tour guide, Dennis, was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island and was happy to share his knowledge with us.
      He was patient and accommodated us throughout the tour.
      We were also lucky to wind up on a private tour, since Red Rose Tours honors all tour bookings, no matter how small the group.
      I would definitely recommend Red Rose tours and Dennis as a guide.

      My wife and I were staying at a resort in the Cupecoy area and wanted to find a tour early in our trip so that we knew where we wanted to go during the week and what we wanted to see more of. It seemed most of the excursions were tailored to the cruise ships coming in on the opposite side of the island. This tour was willing to pick us up right at our resort. Dennis was our tour guide and was waiting in the lobby with a sign and my name, and even had a cooler of refreshments for us to enjoy. He was very knowledgeable of the history and kept us engaged. I highly recommend this tour and encourage doing it early in your stay if you are there for more than a day, or even if you're just here for the day. Enjoy!!!!

      We decided on this trip rather than a ship tour and so glad we did.
      Dennis collected us from the port in an air conditioned minibus (just us 2!) and stared our trip.
      He was so friendly, informative, kind and funny with a great laugh!
      We visited all the places mentioned in the tour description (Best of St Martin/St Maarten) with Dennis explaining so much as we went along.
      He waited whilst we got pictures and didn’t hurry us or try to move us along.
      He made the tour a magical day for us, especially when he found my husbands sunglasses after we had left and returned them to us before the ship left, thanks Dennis!
      Do this tour when on the island, highly recommended!

      Highly recommend Rose transportation/ tour company! As a solo female traveler, safety is priority. Rose responds promptly to questions , drivers are punctual , polite and knowledgeable. I felt very informed on the tour with Simane ! Simane took pictures of me with my device, recommended excellent food on the tour , and allowed me to feel safe exploring with Red Rose Transportation. I ended up booking the cab to the airport for the next day and met the owner . Rose is extremely humble, professional and kind. Will always recommend to others visiting !!

      I did the best prime tour with Drake and it was amazing. We saw so many great places, learned a lot about the island, and ate some great food. Drake was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I'll always think of him when I see butterflies lol. I was nervous I wouldn't get to do any tours as a solo traveler since some have a minimum requirement, but they were able to put me with another couple and we had a blast. I will definitely book another tour with Red Rose Island next time I'm in St. Maarten.
