Awesome Tour in St. Kitts! - First off, this was the best tour that I have experienced! The service was exceptional! I took a trip back in August 2022 with some friends and St. Kitts Nevis Luxury Taxi & Tours provided us top notch service. Our tour guide was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very entertaining! We enjoyed a first class experience of the beautiful island. Our tour guide went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied, comfortable, and happy from the beginning to the end. I highly recommend using this company if you want a five star experience during your stay.
