What to do and see in Basseterre, St. Kitts: The Best Bus Tours
Nestled between the Caribbean and lush mountains, Basseterre has a long history of colonial struggle that is reflected in its architecture and cultural monuments. The National Museum, St. George's Anglican Church, the Circus area and Independence Square all give glimpses to the city's past. But most travelers do not come to Basseterre for history; they come for the beaches, resorts and marinas, offering ample snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, sunbathing and golfing opportunities.

Roosevelt came highly recommended from a mutual acquaintance who grew up in St Kitts. My husband and I had such a great time with him. He took us all over the island and is so knowledgeable about the history. We even stopped midway and he introduced us to some native fruits which we had never tried. He is so personable and engaging. He is a wonderful guide to St Kitts!

Dejourne was EXCELLENT!!!! He was attentive to his riders and gave fantastic information during our tour! He was informative and entertaining at the same time. He helped physically challenged riders in and out of his vehicle as well. Most importantly, Dejourne made an unscheduled but highly necessary rest stop for myself, my mother and aunt. He was a gentleman, although I admittedly caused some entertainment for my fellow riders!! I would definitely recommend him and his company!!!

Chris was waiting for us in front of the casino as planned. He knows everything about the island and the perfect places to stop. He also is expert at keeping the hucksters away although there were few on the Saturday we toured. The town is an easy walk from the port and is was nice to get out of town in the comfort of his modern van. So nice to get individual attention instead of being herded onto a big tour bus!

The guides from Poinciana are very loud and rather obnoxious. It's hard to enjoy the natural beauty of the area when the guide is constantly yelling.

We did the rainforest tour and it was excellent. There was somebody waiting for us in port when we docked and we were promptly taken to a very comfortable car for our drive to the rainforest. Here we were met by Kelvin who was our rainforest tour guide. Kelvin was so knowledgable and the whole tour was magnificent. It was a real pleasure to be guided by someone who knew so much - we were even treated to fresh almonds, straight from the pod! Afterwards, we were taken to a small bar where we had tasty complimentary snacks and a drink, before being driven back to the cruise port in PLENTY of time to re-board the ship before it left the island. A wonderful excursion. If we are ever lucky enough to be back in St Kitts, we will use Island Paradise Tours again for sure! Thanks everyone - we had such a great day!

Clayton was our guide and did a fantastic job of taking us to spots we wanted to see. He also recommended Lime Beach Bar for lunch, took us there and picked us up in time to meet the ferry back to St. Kitts. He was so concerned that we get back to St. Kitts he had someone else he knew on the ferry watch over us. All in all I would definitely book this trip again thru Tropical Tours. They did a wonderful and thorough job.
