Fantastic tour guide - Marle was a fantastic tour guide - the best we have had on any excursion we have taken over many years. He is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He provided us with beverages and gave out some prizes for answering questions correctly about things he had told us. He made the excursion fun. We highly recommend Marle and his driver Dominic.

Such a fun day with Marle of welcometosaintkitts - What a day we had with Marle!!! Fortunately for us (probably not so for him) we had him to ourselves likely due to no cruise ships being in port on the Sunday. He is a super friendly guy and knowledgeable and passionate about his island. He is such an engaging person who cleverly for a tour guide asks you questions as well as you asking him. He will drive you around the capital Basseterre (without stopping) but he does stop at various places en route as you drive around the entire island. Because there was just the two of us we did finish the standard tour a bit ahead of schedule so he offered us the opportunity to decide if we wanted to go elsewhere and he duly obliged on our suggestion. I challenge you to find a better island tour filled with fun.

Entertaining and engaging - Lots of fun. Marley was energetic, enthusiastic and built rapport with everyone on the bus by including everyone in his trivia game. Very much recommended.

Wonderful Time! - My hubby and I booked this through TA as an excursion while on a 10-night cruise, St Kitts being our last port. Clear directions were sent to us where to meet - sure enough, a young man named Cedeau met us there. Marle - the owner - came soon thereafter with several other young men that would be our tour guides - Dominic & Segs. Our group was the biggest group yet for Marle, so we split up into two groups/small bus-van. Dominic was our driver - he was excellent! Segs & Cedeau mainly did the speaking, explaining all of the important sites. Dominic would chime in sometimes, too. My hubby and I enjoyed have three tour guides as they all brought different perspectives and thoughts into the tour! The young men were informative of the island, the history, and were very respectful and kind - while still so much fun! They handed out small prizes along the way as they asked questions about what they had told us - a little island trivia. It helped us retain what we had learned about the people, island, and sites. The vehicle was in good shape, had plenty of good A/C, and the guys had a cooler of drinks at our disposal. We don’t drink alcohol but enjoyed the sodas and the Peardrella, a sparkling pear drink! Definitely give it a try! All in all, we would recommend Marle and his tour!! (Thanks for great day and memories, Marle & group!!!)

Exceptional Tour Experience: Informative, Entertaining, and Highly Recommended! - I had an incredible time on the tour! Marle's clear instructions and provided image made finding the meeting point a breeze. The vehicle was comfy and clean, offering a fantastic 360 view. Free assorted drinks were a nice touch. The tour itself was both informative and entertaining, with trivia and prizes adding to the fun. Our guides, Dominic, Segment, and another whose name escapes me, were absolute delights, making the experience accessible for both myself and my grandmother. The rum distillery stop provided great photo opportunities. Overall, a 100/10 experience—I highly recommend

Beware! - The "real local experience" was lining up with every other tour bus at common sites. The worst part was when the tour guide, Marley, asked if we wanted him to preorder lunch for us as it usually took a long time. We asked the price- he waved his hand and said" Just a few dollars". We got there, a little shack type restaurant with picnic benches, and it was quite some time til we got our lunch- 1 fish, 1 shrimp- no drinks- the bill came- $56.00 USD. We told the guide we were very unhappy. On the bus- he tried to put us on the spot by asking what everyone thought- too much $, and too much wait time. ( the place was empty) . Many said overcharged including us. The guide suddenly went into denial- saying he had only been doing this for a year- and never had any complaints, and that he'd never go back again We are good tippers- and when we got off the bus without tipping he followed us making excuses. We felt there was a kickback to him. he never sent the photos he promised to text us.
