Philipsburg Walking Tour; Philipsburg is the capital of Dutch St. Maarten. While the official language is Dutch and the Antillean florin is still around, English is the common language and American dollars are the way to pay. In Philipsburg, visitors can go for a sunny stroll on the boardwalk, a shopping spree in the duty-free stores, a refreshing dip in the Caribbean Sea, an exhilarating excursion, or a walk past historical buildings. Fort Amsterdam offers amazing views and a sense of history, whereas St. Maarten Park pleases the kids with exotic animals. And, the vibrant Carnival in Philipsburg is not to be missed! Explore these and more with your expert personal guide, available 24/7 on your schedule!

From Liesbet:TOUR WITHOUT GETTING LOST, BEING RUDE, OR FOLLOWING THE CROWD
"When you travel to a popular place, there are always the 'mainstream' activities and the 'usual' ways to do them: an expensive guided tour, a day on the beach, a morning of shopping, an afternoon on the water, being shuttled from here to there. Or, if you are on a tight budget and/or you feel more adventurous, you set out on your own, aimlessly wandering around or having your nose in a guidebook to figure out what there is to see and how to get there.
Being a member of the second category, I have been lost more than once in my life, and on more than one continent. Those moments, it would have been nice to be guided by someone who knows the area and shows step-by-step how I could proceed, offering visual assistance and in-depth information along the way, like Tours4Mobile. Having a local friend showing you the sights is helpful, easy, flexible and encouraging and you can take your own time – adding breaks when it strikes your fancy or skipping parts without being rude - while exploring the destinations of your choice. The reason I wrote two tours about the intriguing 'dual' island of St. Maarten/St. Martin is because I was visiting for months on our sailboat 'Irie' and came to know the two capitals really well, and because I wanted to point out that Marigot and Philipsburg have way more to offer than what cruise ship passengers experience; to help visitors explore outside the box."
