Hi and welcome to almost paradise! My name is Elvis and was born and bred in the city of Basseterre, in St. Kitts. I would like to share my knowledge of the history, flora and fauna, culture and architecture of St. Kitts with you. St. Kitts is the first island settled by both the British and the French in the eastern Caribbean. The island is very rich in French and British history. I have traveled to a few countries like Canada and about six other Caribbean islands. My private tours will give you a view that only a local can give. You will get to see one of the best-preserved fortresses in the Caribbean, some of the best-restored sugar plantation houses and their botanical gardens. I will help you to appreciate the beauty and history of my island that I always like to share with my guests. I am a member of one of the three taxi organizations on the island. Also, I am a member of the St. Kitts Nevis amateur radio society. After receiving my taxi license in 2006, for the last 12 years, I have been driving taxis and give tours. It's always a pleasure to offer tours of the island just to see the satisfaction on the guests' face of being in paradise. Come on here and let me share this paradise with you! In 2006 I received my taxi operator license and have been driving taxis and give tours for the last 12 years. As a licensed tour guide, I will be able to tour you to all the major sites. Every year it is mandatory that all drivers have to do a recertification course to maintain a very high standard of service. I have not licensed to give tours in the rain forest and the volcano but you can visit both on tour.

From the cruise ship terminal at Port Zante we drive to the Southern part of the island. The government acquired the land at Frigate Bay in 1966 for tourist development. The Royal St. Kitts hotel became the first hotel to be built in 1973. Most of the hotels on the island are located in this area. This area will play a very important part in the present and future development of the tourist industry. The drive take you to the Caribbean sea where you enjoy two of the best beaches. We make at least two photo stops either on our way to or from the beach. One of the most visited sites on the island is Sir Timothy Hill. Here you get to see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea separated by under one hundred yards. Also here you see two monkeys on a donkey. We then drive to Cockleshell bay where you can swim and relax in the tranquil Caribbean sun.
