Caribbean Perfection - Beautiful experience on the Basseterre Half-Day Tour. Our guide Elvis W. provided wonderful information during the drive around the island and at each site; and also allowed plenty of time for us to explore on our own at each location. We chose this tour over the cruise ship tours because there was more time at each location, especially at Brimstone Hill Fortress and Romney Manor. Our guide gave us a couple different options for our time at the beach and we were able to go to a beach where we could walk on the beach, dip our toes in the sand and water as well observe monkeys. We were so happy Elvis offered us the option to customize our day and spend less time at the beach and more time at Brimstone Hill Fortress and Romney Manor. We did end up having a private tour and loved the entire experience. Elvis was extremely knowledgeable of the island history, plants and wildlife; frequently pointing out interesting facts along the way. Timothy Hill was also a lovely place to view the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean come together.

This was a fantastic tour. ELVIS was outstanding! - My husband and I booked this tour last minute and I absolutely had to come in and write a review as it exceeded our expectations and a lot of that was (in-part) because we had such an outstanding tour guide! Elvis was a wealth of information. He was so engaging and professional. From start to finish he was giving us so many facts and history of the area. His vehicle was clean, comfortable and air-conditioned. The half day tour was a nice balance of the fort, the botanical gardens/batik shop and ending up at a small local beach hangout. I am not a big tour person, but I really loved this tour and was so happy we did it. Great way to see a lot of the island, meet a wonderful local and enjoy a diversity of stops. We came in on a cruise ship and the pickup area was just steps away as we disembarked.

A perfect day! - Peter was a wonderful tour guide! He was very safe driving. Gave us plenty of time at each stop. Gave us a really nice overview of different spots on the island. It was our first time and we think it was a perfect day!!! Highly recommend. It ended up just being the two of us. Way better than those super crowded tours.

A bit of history on St Kitts - We did this as a ship excursion and were happy to find most of our fellow passengers were little interested in history as we were just 4 travelers. It was a reasonably priced way to see some of St Kitts beyond the beaches. We drove through the town area with a narration of the buildings, then to Romney Manor. I was interested because the place used to be the estate of Thomas Jefferson's great, great, great grandfather but nothing is left of that incarnation. Today they are selling lovely batik items. We then visited amazing Brimstone Hill Fortress. What an impressive bit of building 800' above the coast! Unfortunately our visit was curtailed by a passing rain. We finished at the overlook where one can see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The tour was advertised as about 6 hours but we were finished in less than 4 hours and returned to the port. A well spent afternoon.
