| Drive the Virgins CD Tour Visitors to St. Thomas can rent a car, pop in a CD and enjoy a guided tour thanks to Sarah Hancock. Sarah has been living on island for over 20 years and during that time she has given numerous tours to friends and family paying her a visit. She came up with a great idea of making the tour available to all visitors. Sarah is a public school teacher; in her free-time she created and produced a CD called Drive the Virgins CD Tour.
