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.

This was one of the better walking tours I have been on! Rochelle was informative and entertaining. She taught the group about various different aspects of Nevis and answered everyone's questions very well. She also kept it fun and adapted the tour well to the scattered showered we experienced. Overall, great time!

Rochelle is an extremely informative and knowledge tour guide. She curious about who is on her tour and what they are interested in. She is very open to questions and told many interesting stories that kept us engaged throughout. We know so much more now about the history of Nevis and how the culture developed. We highly recommend this tour. We took it on the 3rd day of our stay.

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!!!

We booked the tour through our travel agent's site. It was cheaper than going through Princess Shore excursions. We were met at the ship's dock with a 12 passenger van and had lots of room. Our guide was "Spoonie", Annie's husband, and he was funny and very informative about all that we saw. The stops were just the right amount of time as to see everything and not get bored waiting. We saw alot of things and it gave us a good review of the island. I would book another tour with them if I visit again.
