Megan our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable about St Kitts and we really liked all the info on local herbs, trees and flowers. The tour was excellent value for money, we did understand that we needed to pay the entrance fees of US$3 for Romney Manor and US$15 for Brimstone Fortress, both of which were well worth the money. Megan was a very safe and courteous driver and we saw everything that we were supposed to, was the best tour of our trip to the Caribbean and we learnt loads. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had a really great tour and learned a lot about St. Kitts from our guide. We would definitely recommend it. However, no rum or water was offered as described, so it's better to bring your own or buy it at one of the stops.

Our guide Stanley was great. He was able to tell us a lot about the history and fauna. Despite the frequent rain, we enjoyed the trip very much. Note: Entrance fees of 3 and 15 US $ are additional to

Our guide, Stanley, was wonderful. He was an extremely safe driver and our party of 4 all felt very comfortable the whole day. We enjoyed the sites and it was a nice relaxing day.

Tony was very knowledgeable about the island and extremely professional at his work
