Top 6 Historical & Heritage Tours in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

February 18, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

The largest city in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a popular shopping center, home to 20,000 people, upscale shops, ecotours and underwater safaris. This former haunt of pirate ships now hosts millions of cruise passengers every year. Look beyond the boutiques and discover historic sights such as the bright red, 17th-century Fort Christian, the graceful green Legislature Building, the 1793 brick Lutheran Church and the taxing 99 steps stairway. Charlotte Amalie is easy to explore on foot.

The day before my tour, I reached out to make sure the tour was still on as I hadn’t gotten any confirmation. They texted me late in the evening saying they would be picking me up 15 minutes early. The morning of the tour, the pickup time came and went. I reached out to them and they were like “Oh yeah, we forgot you. We didn’t have time to come get you”. What??? The tour guide told me to get a cab to meet them at a location downtown. The whole pickup experience was ridiculous. I was able to connect with the group downtown and the guide reimbursed me for the cab, but it was not a good start to my day and I missed an hour of the experience. The same had happened to other people as well. If you don’t have time to pick someone up, tell them earlier, don’t offer it was part of the tour, or leave enough time to pick everyone up. I do not recommend this tour.

This small group tour is the best way to see the Island still leaving time for you to see St Thomas yourself whilst in port. St. Thomas is a huge island that consists of one long ridge of hills running east and west through the center of the island. St. Thomas has a history that dates back to 1500 B.C. and the Ciboney people. They were replaced by the Arawaks and then the Caribes, long before Christopher Columbus first saw the island in 1493 on his second voyage to the "New World." You will pass by Drake's Seat, believed to be the spot where Sir Francis Drake himself watched for enemy vessels. A stop will be made at Mountain Top, where you will take in the most amazing views from the balcony of the shopping arcade, and if you choose, purchase a "world-famous" banana daiquiri. At the end of the two-hour driving orientation, you will have the option of being dropped off in downtown Charlotte Amalie to experience its world-famous shopping or be taken back to the cruise ship dock.
