Driving Tour of St Martin / St Maarten by taxi

The next day we checked out and left our bags at the hotel, and walked to the taxi stand close to the port, next to the market. There we arranged a 3 hour tour of the island with a taxi driver. She gave us a reasonable price of $40, after some pretty easy haggling. She gave us some very candid commentary and good insight into the culture and struggle of the local population versus the Europeans – it was not a very pretty picture.  She was a very good driver, and left us lots of time at the stops to sightsee.

    ¡Hola Cesar!
    Perdon, pero no podemos ayudarle con un guía hispanohablante. Tampoco, no podemos arreglar reservaciones en general. ¿Quizás María pueda ayudarle con más información?

    Si encuentra a un guía hispanohablante, favor de decirnos – ¡nos gustaría compartir la información con todos! ¡Buena suerte!

    ¡Que tenga unas muy buenas vacaciones!

    Wendy y Ian
