Great experience and tour! - Went on a tour of the island with this company in December of 2022 and was not disappointed. The tour was well done and the guide delivered on everything that was promised. The price was reasonable and it's clear that the owner, Russell, strives for customer satisfaction beyond most Caribbean tour providers we dealt with. He took the time to help us organize the tour, took the time to speak to us on numerous occasions, and made sure we were happy at the end. Thank you Russell. Well done!! Would definitely use again and recommend.

Great island tour - Amaro was a wonderful guide, very professional, knew the island inside and out and took time to explain things and answer all our questions. He was conscious of our time constraints, and did everything he could to ensure that we had a great time.
We loved our visit to St. Kitts thanks to Amaro.

The best of the island in private luxury tour - We came with cruise ship and we took 6 hours tour in the luxury car. It was great experience, we saw all the Island and the best attractions and view points and even had time for a beach break.
Good guide, great service with water, wine and watermelon and fantastic experience
