What to do and see in Kingstown, St. Vincent: The Best Bus Tours

April 3, 2022 Renato Branum

Kingstown, the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is a major port city for the Caribbean island chain. The city features a series of surviving 19th century buildings, including St George's Cathedral, known for its beautiful stained glass, and the Romanesque Cathedral of the Assumption. In the wharf area, visitors can see structures built from the tile and red brick that was used as ballast on trading ships from Britain, or head up to Fort Charlotte for a stunning view of the city.

I had the full day tour. Since I was the only one that signed up for the tour, I had a “personal” tour. Shakera was great! She explained the sites and their history. Most important to me was that she would stop and let me take photos anywhere I wanted. She never rushed me and always accommodated my wishes. Because it was just the two of us, we did the tour in a car, which I liked better - it made me feel more like a local. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting a taste of St. Vincent!

We have visited St Vincent previously and were looking for something different to see on this visit. We were visiting via cruise ship and Samuel was waiting for us just outside the terminal building. His van was comfortable with AC, although in the end opted for opening the windows for a natural breeze. I contacted Samuel directly and he was very prompt and responsive in answering all my queries. The tour was very interesting with Samuel being a great guide and also serves an amazing rum punch! Would highly recommend a tour with Detention tours.

Our guide and driver, a very careful, thoughtful and capable driver, had a spotless, new and well cared for vehicle (with air conditioning) and clearly knew her stuff. Greta Mapp had others booked, and had gone to considerable expense to make a 60 yr old persons birthday, a day to enjoy. She had been patiently waiting - and she is a lovely patient lady- for the couple, who then claimed they hadn't seen her, and didn't think of phoning her until after midday to cancel. Our gain (was their loss, and they will never know what they missed out on) was that we were taken to fantastic fort with views over the bay, then across to roughly the area where Mesopotamia begins then down to the coast through plantations to a couple of pretty coastal sites, including a marina. Greta had purchased cake, champagne, beer and watermelon for those celebrating, so in her generous way shared some of these items. She kept to her schedule and all times gave brief informative updates. Highly recommended, and Greta was an example of how islanders who live from tourism, need to be respected.

We spent the day with Samuel and had the best time! He tailored our tour to exactly what we wanted and even tweaked it on the day when we needed to change it. We started with a visit to Forte Charlotte and has an interesting guided tour by one of the guides. We then went onto Dark View Waterfalls which require trekking through a beautiful rain forest (amazing!!) before heading to the Pirates of the Caribbean film set. We were also celebrating a birthday and Samuel arranges a cake! We had fun on the bus and he provided drinks, beer and WiFi - we named it the ‘beer party bus’! St Vincent is beautiful and he knows everything! He is also the best driver on the island :-)! Highly recommend booking him!
