Only 1 day in St. Kitts? this is a must do! - Tour guide Megan was amazing! She is born and raised on the island and is extremely knowledgable in its history and especially the local plants and agriculture. She picked us up in a private car and drove us through downtown Basseterre, along the coast, and up to the fort. She would pull over and show us local plants and fruits that would be growing along the way and explain their medicinal purposes. We had amble time to explore the fort and then we moved on to the historical rum distillery site where we also had plenty of time to explore and shop. She then drove us to a few scenic lookout spots for pictures and then ended the day at a beach that is popular with the locals, all while telling us fascinating stories of the islands history. She provided us with drinks and arranged for beach loungers and umbrella to enjoy our lunch and have a dip in the water. This tour was everything I had hoped for and more with only having 1 day to spend in St. Kitts. Make sure to ask for Megan!

An amazing half day in St. Kitts - Elvis was very friendly when he greeted us exactly where he said to meet him. Our guide Megan was unbelievably knowledgeable, funny, pleasant and kind. She made sure that we didn't miss any of the sites. Her history knowledge of St. Kitts was more than impressive. Was truly a great experience that I would recommend to anyone! If you can - request Megan... you won't be sorry you did!

Simply Amazing! - This is the tour to do! Recommend to do the 9am one, since we literally got to every place right before it was crowded. Finding the pick up spot was easy, we got to see all the key places on the island and the guide is very knowledgeable. He is not pushy at all, he will not try to sell you anything extra, but rather is straight to the point. We really enjoyed the tour and would do it again in a heartbeat!
