    Excellent tour

    billgougler, Mar 2026
    Informative, pleasant and comfortable. An excellent tour with options for each of us and flexibility to change and explore. Bus was comfortable and we also had the opportunity to eat on a beach and snorkel b4 the driver returned as scheduled to get us back to our cruise ship.

    Great Tour with beach stay

    Germaine was an excellent guide, his knowledge of the city and all of the natural beauty of the country he exposed us to through the tour and his personal experiences was amazing!! One of kind tour, the best of all of our excursions over the course of many years of travelling.

    Perfect St Kitts

    Our well traveled group of four had a great day on this tour. Our guide, Frankie, was a treasure. His local knowledge was great and his familiarity with the island and roads served us well. He showed us the town sites and introduced us to a wonderful oasis near the docks. The van was clean, cool and comfy. We took a scenic drive 25 minutes to Cockleshell Beach and found the best spot with bar, umbrellas and shade. We opted to go back to town a little early and Frankie had no problem with that. He came back and got us right on time and even secured one of our lost phones and brought it back to us. This tour is a great intro to a beautiful island and Frankie is a special person. We’ll be back!

    Nice combination of touring and beach time

    We had a small group, only 6 people in total. Drove around the island with interesting commentary. Stopped at the view point for some pictures to see the Caribbean see and the Atlantic. Then drove to the beach, which had a bar and sun chairs, umbrellas. Nice snorkeling, with colorful fish and lobsters.

    Exceptional service with amazing views!

    We just visited St. Kitts via cruise ship and had the best experience! Our tour guide, Frankie was exceptional! We met Frankie right outside our port and he led us to the van. We jumped in and he immediately started telling us about the history of the town as we headed to our 1st stop. Our tour started at a botanical garden which was just beautiful, serene and informative. We then headed to our next stop, Timothy Hill which was absolutely breath taking. Once we arrived at Timothy Hill there were vendors set up, including vendors with little monkey’s (which were adorable). The guys with monkeys will charge you to take pictures with them, but very affordable. We then headed to our last stop, Reggae Beach. We were greeted by a gentleman named Vernon, who was so attentive, personable and helpful who worked for the local restaurant on the beach. We rented beach chairs ($5 each) and an umbrella($10). Vernon took drink and food orders and was willing to wait on us hand and foot. There are beach activities that you can rent on the beach like Kayaks, paddle boarding, jet skis and more at affordable prices. They also have vendors who will give massages on the beach, hair braiding, and selling jewelry. Everyone was just so kind and made our visit very pleasant. If you are looking for an affordable excursion, that lets you see the island, I would highly recommend this excursion and I would definitely do it again. Frankie from the tour group, Vernon from the restaurant and Loretta -our masseuse really made this day AMAZING!

    Awesome experience!

    We loved having a personalized experience. The tour guides/drivers were knowledgeable about the island and made sure that we were taken care of and happy!
