Although we had to wait about 15 minutes at the Kiosk on top of Brimstone Forteress due to a heavy rain, it still was a great tour. Brimstone Hill was the absolute highlight of this tour. The view from the top is incredible - really to be rfecommended.

This was a really good and enjoyable tour which showed the panoramic highlights of St Kitts and also included the optional Brimstone Hill Fortress visit. The latter is a UNESCO world heritage site and is well worth including in the tour of St Kitts.The only downside to this tour was the visit to the Caribelle Batik factory at Romney Manor where there was an additional entrance cost of 3 US person. This caused some confusion amongst some of the group members on the tour and it would perhaps be better to incorporate this cost upfront into the overall price of the tour. Apart from this minor point, this tour is highly recommended as both the tour and our tour guide were excellent.

Juni, our tour guide, was superb. Patient, safe and highly knowledgeable about the island, its people and its history.

St Kitts is beautiful and our guide was great - pleasant, courteous and informative. The optional Brimstone Hill fortress visit was too short to take in the history and significant of the stop. There is a minute video presentation that we skipped and instead rented the 10 audio tour. Even with this and moving at a brisk pace we felt rushed to get back at the designated time. This, in addition to the 35 minute delayed start because the van hadn't arrived yet is why we'd rate it good but not great.

Great tour.
Review by: David Michael R, February 2018
This was a pleasant 3 hour tour of St. Kitts with a well informed guide who told us of the history and present day activities. We saw breathtaking views of the coast as well as a visit to a batik factory and a closed sugar plantation once owned by the descendents of Thomas Jefferson. We elected not to go to the fort due to mobility issues and were transferred to another car to return to town after a drive to a photo viewpoint.

This tour gave us exactly what we were looking for. The driver took us on a tour of the island that showcased the gorgeous landscape as well as the urban centre and the new developments. He was willing to stop anywhere for photo opportunities and pointed out all the landmarks clearly. The Batik stop was very impressive and should not be missed! The tour guide was very well informed and answered all questions without hesitation or question. We had some very loud and disruptive guests on our tour and he handled them with grace. I would recommend this tour to get the whole island experience.

Really enjoyed how at home the guides made you feel, had a great coverage of the island, and some time for extra shopping [Very important for the wife's happiness]

Better than I expected. Tour organizer met us at the cruise port terminal at the designated time and led us to a comfortable 14 passenger air-conditioned van. I thought we might be on one of those open-air contraptions that are mounted on a truck, so having an enclosed vehicle exceeded my expectations. The driver was knowledgeable and courteous, and was very accommodating when anyone wanted to stop to take photos. We especially enjoyed the botanical gardens and the stop at Timothys Hill which overlooks the point on the island where the Atlantic intersects with the Caribbean. The tour lasted 3 1/2 hours instead of 3 hours as posted because of extra stops for photos at the beach etc. Very happy that we chose this tour. Not as good as a private personalized tour, but good value for the price.

We did not think the Brimstone Fortress visit was worth 10 additional charge..... mostly it was a good tour, but would have enjoyed more scenic stops for photos. The driver was very personable. SQ he said was his nickname. Enjoyed the scenery, driver was very knowledgeable about the island and willing to answer any questions.

Outstanding! Jermon is very entertaining and knowledgeable, tour design is super efficient. I would highly recommend this one: pick up from pre-arranged spot on time, plenty of stops for pictures, snacks and bathroom breaks, very carefully thought through route of travel. The island is true gem of the Caribbean

we absolutely loved this excursion. We got a complete tour of this beautiful island. We loved what we saw so much that we're going to go back to ST. kitts for a week next year. Our tour guide was a wealth of information. We really can' single out a specific part of the tour because we loved everything about it. we've always had great tours through viator and they are much cheaper than booking thru the cruise line.

An excellent trip that gives a good overall view of this small island. SQ, our super driver , pointed out places and things of interest as we went along. A good excursion to see a lot in a short space of time.
Review by: John I, December 2017
The tour started poorly as there was a lot of confusion as to where we needed to be in order to be met by the guide. The ship was docked at the commercial pier instead of the cruise ship port across the harbor so we went where Viator told us to go cruise ship port but could not find our guide who apparently ended up at the commercial port looking for us. The local telephone number we were given by Viator was not answered so that hampered our meeting with the driver and guide. Once we finally got together thanks to the gracious assistance of other taxi drivers and tourism personnel we commenced the tour. We were take to the Caribelle Batik factory where we had to pay a 3USD fee which we knew about ahead of arriving there to enter. An explanation of the batik process took about 2 minutes from one of the workers but the main purpose of our stop there was to entice us to buy something at the gift shop. The items for sale were a poor quality of design and workmanship as compared to what we have seen in other parts of the world. In a word, it was junk and a waste of time. Our tour of Basseterre went OK but it was a bit depressing to see the neglect to homes and buildings. The tour was not close to being worthy of what we paid and we were disappointed.

Was a good tour with a very good tour guide. The Brimstone Hill Fortress was especially impressive. Everything was on time and done in a professional manner. Would recommend this trip.
Review by: Arthur P, November 2017
Tour was acceptable with some nice local color. Problem was did not depart until 45 minutes after scheduled meeting time. Was visiting on a cruise ship, and only had limited time, which the operator wasted.

Great tour, driver was most helpful too. Gardens at the batik are fabulous
