   Sunny Liston Tours ~ St. Thomas

We spent the day in St. Thomas this March off the Carnival Magic. St. Thomas is a beautiful Island and we were taking some family members there for the first time and we wanted them to see just how gorgeous it was. We have booked several excursions through shoreexcursioneer.com in the past in other ports and have always had excellent experiences. Well this time was the exception. Shore Excursioneer is like a middle man and they set up your excursions through local companies. In St. Thomas they booked us with a company called Sunny Liston Tours for our 2 hour island tour excursion. We were very disappointed in this excursion and would not recommend it to anyone. Although we did see some beautiful views, we spent more time waiting than seeing the island. Here’s a little review of how our tour went…

We were to meet our excursion at the port area after getting off the ship. We were there a few minutes early and waited over 45 more minutes for our tour guide. Then we were told he would be taking us to the area where the tour would be starting. So we were lead to believe he was just our ride to our tour location. He kept saying he was just waiting on a few more people. Although we came to realize he was just trying to get more business by trying to encourage more people on the tour.

Finally, we were on our way with a few more passengers. Then he took us downtown, where we thought we were getting off and going to join a tour. Well no that was not the case….He stopped in front of some stores and started loading more people in the vehicle. Then once again, we were waiting and waiting as he kept asking more people to join the tour until our vehicle was uncomfortably jammed pack full and several people were not even able to sit with their families.   Then we were on our way. He did offer us water or sodas, but most everyone looked annoyed and declined them. Continue reading “ALL EXCURSIONS ~ NOT SO PERFECT!!!”
