I'm a friendly, social, and witty person who would love to connect with you! Born and raised in St. Kitts, I have come to appreciate the island I call home. From its national parks, fertile land, and calm Caribbean waters to the rough Atlantic seas, I love it all. With its warm beaches, intimate spots, picturesque views, and kind, loving people, my heart beats to the symphony of "life on St. Kitts". Whether it's the island's colorful homes, historic buildings, curvy roads, or the faint images of distant beauty, I sync with "life on St. Kitts". The rhythms of our ancestors, the beats of our present culture, the fragrance of our flora, and our fine foods keep me going to the tune of "life in St. Kitts." Combining this with my experience as a tour guide, my why is to share a personal journey with you as you discover... uncover my island. I've been an official tour guide since 2015. Therefore, because of my love for exploring, I guarantee a satisfying tour. I'm academically inclined, so I use this to bring a knowledgeable perspective to our excursions. Lastly, in my evenings, I work at a radio station, and as a communicator at heart, I always look forward to connecting as I introduce you to this piece of paradise.

Overview of your Basseterre tour

Join me on this journey as we explore further in St. Christopher, better known as St. Kitts. Learn about where we came from, our background, and who we are now, our culture, our strength, our heritage, plus unveil where we're heading: our potential. This tour provides the best kind of time travel you can experience by visiting my homeland. An ideal blend of historical sites that'll make you ponder, commentary that'll keep you in sync with life on St. Kitts, and superb hospitality. With my years in the tour industry plus being a local by birth, I'm well-equipped to showcase my communities. Now, being a communications specialist, I understand the need to connect. I'll show you where I grew up, too. We'll visit our capital- Basseterre, an old French town that shows stains of slavery, imprints of British colonialism, and we'll enjoy the lush nature, the history of various sites such as Independence Square's old slave market, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Brimstone Hill, with finale of Volcanic coastline

Fantastic day. Janeel was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Everything he did enhanced our experience and as this was our second visit to the island, adjustments to the itinerary were made to avoid time spent on repeating visits to sites we were familiar with. Highly recommend this trip

Janeel greeted us so warmly and completely surprised us by decorating his van with messages celebrating our 20-year wedding anniversary. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that immediately made the day feel special. Throughout the tour, Janeel was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about St. Kitts. You could tell how proud he is of his home country and its people. As we drove through downtown Basseterre, he shared the history of the island, including its ties to slavery, while also pointing out landmarks, architecture, and details about the local culture. Along the drive, he showed us different fruit trees growing around the island and even stopped to grab a couple mangoes for us to try. They were delicious! One of the highlights was Janeel’s personal tour of Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, where we also stopped for lunch with breathtaking views. Lunch at this location was not included in the tour price, but it was absolutely worth it and one of our favorite parts of the day. Other memorable stops included the Old Road Rum Distillery, the beautiful Caribelle Batik Botanical Gardens with its incredible 400-year-old tree, and Black Rocks, where we enjoyed stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. A true hidden gem of the tour was our stop at City Shine Rum Distillery — somewhere we never would have discovered on our own. We met the owner, Jack, and a bartender whose name I unfortunately can’t remember, and they made us feel like family. Jack’s passion for his rum was infectious, and the rum itself was fantastic with so many unique varieties. We wish them continued success with their growing business! Our final stop was the overlook at the southern end of St. Kitts for one last incredible photo opportunity and panoramic view of the island. Overall, this was an amazing experience that we highly recommend. We had wonderful conversations, learned so much about St. Kitts, and truly enjoyed every minute of the day. Thank you, Janeel, for making our anniversary trip so memorable!

Our girls trip of three had the best time on Janeel’s “Experience St. Kitts Full Island Shore Excursion.” He toured us around the island in his lovely vehicle and made the entire day feel fun, easy, and personal. Janeel has so much local knowledge and personal experience to share, which added so much depth and authenticity to the tour. This was the perfect way to hit the key sights around St. Kitts while also learning about the culture and history of the island. He also has a great sense of humor, so we were laughing throughout the day. Communication leading up to the tour was excellent as well, which made everything seamless. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a well-rounded and memorable island experience!

My wife and I could not be any happier with the tour by Janeel B. He tailored our tour to what we wanted. He learned what we wanted to see, and tailored the tour as the day went along. He truly was a local boy and showed us where he grew up and where his mother lived,. We had a great lunch in his small town, served by people he knew his whole life. Got to see what the true island of St. Kitts is about. He is a young man with ambition and a dream. Van we used was almost new, He was proud of this and took great care of it. He was extremely knowledgeable and is very proud of his island. We would highly recommend using him if you are in St Kitts
