• Beware: Waste of time and money

  Not sure how this tour gets its title. It’s not worth the price, plus the additional $72 USD for a family of 4 once you’re on the tour to get into places where there isn’t much to see/do. Being driven around in a packed family van with people was the worst as only the one person sitting as the front passenger to the driver could see anything pointed out. Literally could not see a thing that the driver mentioned/pointed out. Very disappointing. This tour needs to be organized in an open air/no windows bus style vehicle and for a lot less cost. Sadly we did not get to see St Kitts and it costs us hundreds of wasted $. That said, the driver was nice.

• Great primer for first time visitors

  Stanley was an amazing guide! He’s passionate about sharing the history of his home island and went out of his way to ensure everyone’s needs were met.

• Hands down best tour of our trip

  We spent a lot of time with Stanley, and learned so much about St Kitts and the history of the island, as well as seeing all the beauty. The stops on this tour are nothing short of amazing. Learning how they made the Batik fabric in an eight step process, along with learning about all the beauty and different plants on the island was a highlight. The trip up to the fort gave breath taking views and a lot of history. And we finished with an overlook at the other end of the island with waters so turquoise were still talking about it. Stanley did such an amazing job on this tour that it has put St Kitts at the top of our list of islands visited on our cruise

• Not accessible.

  Our van did not have good windows so depending on where you were seated, it was hard to see out and the windows were also dirty. The tour guide was knowledgeable enough, but coming back from the tour, we were pretty much told the same things that we were told going on the first leg of the tour, you just passed the places going the opposite direction. This tour should also have told you in advance that going to the Fort was not at all handicap accessible to get to the top. We liked that they went out of their way to pick us up at our hotel.

• Stanley is your man. Ask for him!

  We met Stanley at the cruise port expecting a group tour and to our delight discovered it would be just my husband and me. We hopped in his taxi/mini-van and he drove with care around Basseterre and the surrounding areas pointing out important items of interest as we passed by. We were further delighted to learn that Stanley was a life long resident and seasoned school teacher. He was excellent at explaining the island to us and was kind and patient as we peppered him with questions about the customs, culture, and history of St Kitts. We made a stop at the Romney Manor and enjoyed their beautiful gardens and a brief Batik demonstration. This was an extra $3 per person. From there we made our way to Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO site, and learned more about the British presence on the island and the efforts of slave labor to build this impressive structure (circa 1690s-1790s). It was used as an 1800s British defense. This was an extra $15 per person. Both of these stops were well worth the extra fee. We drove to the other side of the island to take in a hill top view of where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean with Nevis a mere 3 miles in the distance. A great photo op. Stanley offered to take our photo at numerous spots throughout our tour. His desire to be an ambassador for St Kitts shone through. Highly recommend.

• Great Tour!

  We had an excellent tour of the island and visiting our priority sights. We enjoyed the gardens, the batik artistry. Our visit to the fort was thwarted by a broken down vehicle- no fault of our guide! She did her best to take us to other beautiful places to make the most of our time in port. Great way to see the beautiful sights on such a lovely island!

• Stanley knows St Kitts!

  Stanley was our tour guide. He is a retired primary school teacher, born and raised on the island. Great insights and general information about the history of the island. Drove us around the downtown area, then to Romney Manor, Brimstone Hill Fort, and Timothy Hill, providing information as we traversed the island.

• Great highlights of St. Kitts tour

  We turned out to be the only ones on this specific tour, so we had a private taxi tour with Aszy. It was a great way to see some highlights of St. Kitts and Aszy was very friendly and accommodating.

• Fantastic experience with Megan

  We had an amazing time with Megan on our tour! She was so friendly and knew everything about the island from flowers and trees to history. This tour covered the whole island and included stops at view points, brimstone hill, the Romney Manor and the Winfield estate and even a sugar plantation. It concluded with the amazing views on Timothy Hill and then a beach stop. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or a better guide! We loved every second and never felt rushed at all. We were picked up from the pier when our cruise ship came in and the communication from the office was very prompt and professional. We were back to make the ship work time to spare. This is stress free so book it. We will be telling all of our friends to book this when they go to St Kitts.

  Loved visiting both, the Romney Manor and Brimstone Fortress! The whole experience from booking, through comms with Kerissa to the actual day trip was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So much so that we booked another trip, a Rainforest Tour that was conducted by Kelvin, who was very friendly, charming and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend booking tours with Island Paradise Tours! Thanks so much!!!!
