Creator's Key Takeaways

It was only $65 a person. Well worth the money. Highly recommended.

The mailman is the guy you get to do your tour. Said absolutely fantastic, highly rated.

It's good to experience it once. It's something I don't care if I ever do again, but you need to go experience it once.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take a Bernard's tours and request the mailman as your driver and tour guide.
βœ“Visit the Shea Ferdinand La French Bakery in Margo for pastries and sandwiches.
βœ“Experience Maho Beach once to watch planes, but expect crowds and limited jet landings.
