Don't miss this one - Dujohn (spelling?) was over the top..friendly, knowledgeable, insightful. Prior to the train ride he took us on an hour tour of the island. He met us after the train ride and took us over to the shipwreck bar. We arranged for him to pick us up and he was there with bells on. Don't miss this one. It's worth every cent.

Highly recommend V&J tours loved the train ride - V&J tours was great, our driver Deshaun (probably not spelled correctly )went out of his way to make sure we did not miss our number one objective after the train ride, a cool Carib at the SHIPWRECK bar and grill over all a great tour of St.Kitts and definitely would recommend Deshaun for a driver and a great island experience.

It was fun to see the... - It was fun to see the island from a train and hear about the history while enjoying local beverages. The company owner was very accommodating and helpful. Be sure to confirm a hotel pick up after booking if you are not arriving with a cruise ship. I would book other tours with this operator.

Wacky Train Ride / But Fun - It's quite the ride ! Think Train & Disney Ride had a baby. Our Dujan who drove us to & from Train was AWESOME! Very informative and helped my handicap husband. The Train ride was beautiful and some of the best Pins Colodas ever. The ladies on the Train so warm and inviting. Glad we booked thru Viator. They never disappoint !!

Train Trek review - Location: Exit the port area and walk straight ahead - look for a red V&J tour sign - these are the people you want :). Lots of back and forth for us until we located the proper location to meet the tour group. Driver Dujan knew the area well, sharing landmarks and conversation during the drive. We also saw the Caribbean/Atlantic plates - beautiful~! Train ride was lots of jiggling - double decker car with lots of movement. If you want to hear discussion & landmarks, sit near a speaker as while train is in motion very difficult to hear. Drinks served were delicious.

I booked this specific... - I booked this specific tour on Viator instead of booking directly with the train company so I could make a stop at Wingfield estate and we did not stop there... instead we went to a very uninteresting, recently-built church where we stayed 12 minutes, but everybody came back on the bus even quicker. On top of that, there was quite a lot of waiting involved, in Port Zante, on the bus, and at the train station. The train ride was fun, the views were great and the complimentary drinks helped everybody onboard enjoy even more!

Stay off the train trek! - Terrible experience. Train is antiquated and if motion sickness is a problem don’t even consider going, as people were getting sick on the train as it is a narrow gauge train and sways non stop. Conductor was not truthful about duration of trip as we were concerned about making the embarkation time of our ship. Narrator was energetic but had a very irritating voice that lasted the whole trip. If it had not been for our transport service (VJ tours) we would not have made it back in time. I wanted to get off the tour once I found out the true duration but conductor assured we would have plenty of time. One of the employees was very helpful contacting our transport company to arrange a private car back versus taking the busses. Made it in about 20 mins versus 50 minutes. We would not have made it otherwise. The island is barren and impoverished with beautiful beaches and ruins of old plantations. It’s not worth the trip and all of the plantations are long gone. Save your money and time

St. Kitts Scenic Train Experience - VERY BAD ,Falsely advertised - I would like to request a full refund for this tour. Tour was booked and clearly stated in English language . When we arrived at the train station we were told that the tour is in German, which we don't understand. Then they suggested to give us one of those headphones . We had no choice but to take it. After changing 2-3 pairs of headphones we gave up and just looked at the scenery .Headphone never worked. German language was on loudspeaker. Your attention to this matter and immediate refund as well as some credit as well as compensation for inconvenience and waste of time this false advertisement . We had completely wasted a day of our vacation. In addition person responsible for distribution of headphones was rude and totally not interested to listen to what I had to say. To make situation worse when we arrived to the change from train to bus nobody knew what to do with us and we had to change 3 buses until finally one driver figured that we are not from a cruise ship and said that he will take us to Marriot back at $15 . We had no choice then to agree to that too. I would appreciate your immediate response and actions. Thank you
