Hi, I am Toussaint, a native of St. Kitts/Nevis. I have been working in the hospitality industry (since 2007 as a taxi and tour operator. The fact that I am a former driving instructor for about [15] fifteen years should give my guests peace of mind while being on the road and this also indicates my level of patience which is a necessity in this industry. I like meeting people of different cultures. As a native of St. Kitts/Nevis, I've seen the islands go through many changes, such as, our history, culture, political system, and our economic development. As your future private tour guide, I look forward to welcoming you to beautiful St. Kitts/Nevis. Thank you. Toussaint Licensed Guide and Taxi Operator

My family and I did the full day personalised island tour provided by Toussaint. His Communication was great pre-tour and we met him at our pre arranged meeting place from the cruise ship. He was professional throughout and extremely knowledgeable!! We learnt so much about the beautiful island of St Kitts. I can highly recommend Toussaint as a guide. Thank you Toussaint 😊

Wonderful tour with Toussaint! We saw the entire island in a comfortable vehicle with Toussaint's interesting commentary. He is very easy to talk to and very personable. Tour was great as designed but you can make changes if you like. Highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I went on a 4+ hr round the island of St. Kitts with Mr. Tatem. He was prompt in his pickup of us at our hotel and we quickly proceeded to tour the island with a friendly and information packed conversation with him as we drove to Basse Terre. He drove us through the small streets of the capital pointing interesting sights of the British and French colonization. Since we told him we enjoyed wildlife we stopped at an egret nesting area where dozens of chicks were in the trees while adults were out for food. As we continued wet discussed St. Kitts politics, economics, etc. We made a couple of other stops (at a Unesco British built fort which was really fascinating to wander through) and we saw not only tourist areas but passed through centers of poverty on the island. I would highly recommend Mr. Tatem as a tour guide.

Tatum was a great tour guide. St Kitts born and raised Tatem was hugely knowledgeable and loved talking about his island. Very helpful first full day on the island tour set us up for exploring the island on our own afterwards.

Tatem was a great tour guide for our group of four. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Picked us up and dropped us off right at the cruise port entrance. This was my first time booking a Tours By Local and highly recommend it for other cruisers. Great alternative when considering tours offered direct by the cruise ship (was less expensive per person and so much more convenient to have a private tour as opposed to touring in a much larger group). Great job Tatem and Thank you!

The tour was very interesting and adapted to our needs and interests. It was very easy to deal with the super friendly Toussaint. He is very knowledgeable, reliable and makes you feel at ease. He drives safely and his car is sparkling clean. I would stongly recommend Toussaint to anybody wanting a nice private tour. Toussaint, you made our trip on your island a memorable day and we wish you all the best . Thank you
