This magnificent fort of British architecture was built during the 18th & 19th centuries by African Slaves.

Wonderful Tour - We had a rocky start but the Kantours team worked together and all was fabulous. We enjoyed our tour guide and all the stops. It was wonderful to be in between the tour buses on our private tour. Our first stop at Fairview Great House was extra exciting because a wedding was going on there! It was fun to see an island wedding. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the island. We had a great time on St. Kitts.

Very good, but not enough time - The only downside was that there was not enough time to fully take in the important sites. Our guide was very informative. Fairview was beautiful and also very informative about the slave trade history, but we didn't have enough time to go through the entire exhibit. Brimstone was impressive, but again, not enough time to really explore it. We would also liked to have seen more of Romney besides just the batik shop, but not enough time. Timothy Hill was a nice view, but we would have traded it for more time at the other stops.

Be weary of them changing the tour times on you, and not telling you until the cancellation window has passed... - I would give a zero if I could. I booked the 9am tour in advance, and was contacted recommending I switch to the day prior because it was already confirmed. I did this, and it was never communicated that the tour was at 1:30 not 9am. It wasn’t until the morning of the tour that I received an email stating the tour was at 1:30 (email came at 9:18pm the night before, but we were sleeping already)
I tried calling multiple times from the hotel that morning, with no response. Emailed indicating I would like a refund because we had a 3pm hotel transfer to Nevis and wouldn’t be able to attend a 1:30 tour. No response at all after this.
Still trying to dispute the charge with credit card company, because Kantours apparently thinks not communicating the actual tour time until after the cancellation window has passed, is okay?The tour looked awesome, but that doesn’t mean anything when you can’t actually attend it ...
