Hand over all your planning in St Kitts to Zandra! - One thing we try to always do as a family on vacation is to get a non-touristy view of wherever we are. Whether it’s trying the local food or visiting someplace off the beaten path. We were able to do this thanks to Zandra from Scenic Escape. She was recommended to me as someone who could really help us enjoy St Kitts and that’s exactly what she did. With her help, we visited Nevis and had the benefit of a day tour with Sir Daniel (known by everyone on the island). It was a magnificent day of getting steeped in the history of the island. We also took the Catamaran tour along the coast thanks to Zandra. I highly recommend her knowing you can hand over all planning and not be disappointed!

Awesome Excursions and Food - From start to finish this excursion was done right. Fantastic catamaran ride to and from Nevis. The boat's Captain and crew were friendly and efficient. The land tour in Nevis was guided by 61 year old island native. She was awesome with interesting insight into the island and was even able to get us into a historical site that was closed for renovation. Professional in every way. The lunch was fresh, prepared on site and very tasty. Meeting us after our land tour with a cold, lime infused washcloth was a first class move. We highly recommend this tour.

A Great Nevis cruise ship option - The organization, meeting spot, close to the cruise terminal, boat, lunch, and beach was 10stars! The panoramic guide was a “2” in my opinion. Way too much “name dropping “ of famous people and stories about poor tippers that we were shortchanged at some spots. The museum only saw the signs and a 5 minute explanation. No time to go into the house or museum

Not much to see or do. - This tour is subcontracted to various providers. Our land tour had a wonderful guide, but there was minimal value to driving around with not much to see. When we booked this, there were lots of things promised in the itinerary that were not performed. Since my complaint, they updated the itinerary to remove 80% of the activities. The catamaran shuttle was great - entertaining personalities, all drinks included. The beach was great. The lunch provided was just a sandwich, drink, and taco chips. There are much cheaper versions of this excursion.

Nice ride to Nevis - Trip over to Nevis was nice, but the tour once there was disappointing would have been better to just head to the beach and spend time there.

Disappointed - Not much time was spent on the historical portion of this tour. Got to hop off the bus, take a couple of quick pictures and move on to the next spot. Seemed like they wanted to get you to the beach and be done. On the positive side...the driver/guide was friendly and informative and the lunch at the beach had several choices and was good.
