No visit to St. Kitts is complete without a tour of this beautiful island. You'll gain first-hand insights into the history and countryside, stop for shopping in Basseterre, St. Kitts’ capital city and then take a scenic island drive to Romney Manor, home of the Caribelle Batik plantation. After visiting Brimstone Hill, a beautiful fortress, you’ll pass Dieppe Bay to arrive at the scenic Black Rocks, home of the remnant of Mt. Liamuiga.
Your first stop is a visit to the capital city of Basseterre for a shopping stop. Basseterre, located on the southwestern coast of St. Kitts, is one of the oldest towns in the Eastern Caribbean. It features the historic Independence Square, St. George's Anglican Church and the Warner Park Sporting Complex.
After exploring Basseterre, take a scenic island drive to Romney Manor; home of the Caribelle Batik former sugar plantation with some of the most beautiful gardens in the Caribbean. Explore and tour this area at your leisure.
You will next visit Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, one of the best preserved historical fortifications in the Americas.

SQ our guide was great! He shared information about his homeland and had a great sense of humor and went out of his way to accommodate all of his passengers. We loved seeing Fort George.

This was an OK island tour which we would probably rate 3.5 stars if that was an option. We had a very full van full of people so it was sometimes a little hard to follow everything the driver was saying to us. We had an opportunity to sample a variety of local foods during one of our morning stops and a boat ride to a remote beach was provided during the afternoon. Overall we would say this was worth the money spent although it fell just a bit short of some of the other Viator tours we have taken.

SQ was a great driver/guide. He had loads of information and stories about the numerous places we went. He was happy to drop us in town instead of back to the port.

Great experience but there were underlying costs that we were not aware to get to our event from the ship! Disappointed that that was not made clearer to us prior to the trip.

Very good tour of the island. The driving is tricky there so leaving that piece to the local person was the way to go.

Review by: Jaunda K, February 2014
This was a really great tour of the island. It was interesting to see how the batik was done, everything was beautiful but expensive. The garden was really nice too. When you go to the fort it will cost $10 per person to get into the national park, be sure to bring money for this. The fort was my favorite part and I wish we had more time, it was really interesting and the view is amazing. Our tour guide SQ was fantastic, we really got more than our money's worth from this tour!

Our guide was very informative and helpful.
Review by: Alexandra W, December 2013
Pick up was on time and tour company waiting for us. The tour guide Yuni was extremely nice, knowledgeable and helpful, pointing out places of local interest and stopping for photos. we particularly enjoyed the batik factory and the fort was amazing. We could have spent hours at the fort, it was such an interesting place with spectacular views and there was a great little bar serving cold beer and rum punch._br/_
We thought the tour was excellent value for money, run by very nice people with a smart bus and would recommend it.

The tour was very nice. Lots of history. Beautiful scenery. The Batik factory was fascinating, but I found the merchandise a bit pricey. Brimstone Hill was out of this world. We had the most fun here. Lots of history and photo ops. We never got to shop in Basseterre. Not sure the reason for that. It was a great value for the price.

St. Kitts very beautiful. My Island Tour was the best experience of all. Very friendly people. Motorists displayed much courtesy to pedestrians. My guide Osquin Morton, now my friend, was the greatest. Thank you St. Kitts for the pleasant memories. I will return and recommend you to friends. Milton Douglas.
