Overview
The tour begins at 10:00 am sharp with a 15 minute drive through downtown Basseterre. Drive in air conditioned comfort as you see and hear of the history of the town's iconic monuments from our experienced English tour guide such as the Berkley Memorial, the "1840",  and Independence Square. You will then get to know more of Irish Town, the War Memorial, the Egrets nesting site and Bloody Point as you drive by, and then we make our way off to visit the Seventeenth century Romney Manor, home of the ancestors of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. It is one of the most celebrated sites on the island, as the Caribelle Batik, famous for it's Indonesian technique of picture making by applying hot was to material, is also housed there. There is an entrance fee to visit this magnificent estate, but this is already included in the cost of the tour. We must tell you that the Pre - Historic Petroglyphs are on the way to Romney Manor, and legend has it that this image on the stone is indeed a fertility image in its own right. Then it’s off to the highlight of the tour, The Amazing Grace Experience located in beautiful Sandy Point. This was the setting which changed the life of a foul mouthed Captain John Newton who later went on to pen that famous and beloved song Amazing Grace. This segment of the tour is of 30 minutes duration and entrance fees are also included in the cost of the tour.See the pristine black sand Pump Bay beach where Captain Newton landed his slave ships, now voted one of the best black sand beaches in the world by USA Today.From AGE we head over to Timothy Hill on the South East Peninsula  for the breath taking views of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in one picture perfect view.

Traveler Reviews

This was a very good tour if you are looking for an easy tour for just a few hours. Verona was a great guide and took us to some off the beaten path roads for a new outlook. I have been here 4 times and saw new things on this tour. The Amazing Grace Experience was enjoyable and we learned something new. It was a rainy day but we managed to see everything and stay dry. Great tour!

we had a wonderful tour off a beautiful island as was only here for the one day off cruise ship. she took us all around and explained the history, flora,traditions of the island. we really liked the Amazing Grace experience and the caribelle batik tour, beautiful grounds at the manor. the view of atlantic ocean on the left and Caribbean on the right was a sight to see. Verona dropped us off near a local restaurant for local food and it was great. the tour was wonderful and Verona really made our day. prices very good also.

My recent tour of St.Kitts, November 2017 was a great experience. My guide/driver, Verona, was very professional, courteous and informative.

She provided me a 'better than expected' tour, full of knowledge and very thoughtful with all aspects of my time with her.

I most certainly would recommend her services.
