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.

Perfect day on St. Kitts! Toussaint Tatem had provided clear directions and he met us punctually at the cruise port. Mr. Tatem is a gentleman with a kind demeanor and a flexible attitude so the tour best fits your interests and pace. We were quickly friends and thoroughly enjoyed the entire, comfortable day. His extensive knowledge and great communication skills make this the ideal way to experience his island country (St. Kitts is a fascinating place). So many memorable historical, cultural, and natural facts, so many beautiful sights, and even some bargain shopping. Speaking of bargains, Tatem's tour was an exceptionally good value and the highlight of our Caribbean cruise! We would gladly repeat it, start to finish. Very highly recommended!

Tatem was a fantastic tour guide. We had a wish list of things we wanted to see. Tatem included all of those in his tour, and more. He is a perfect gentleman - polite, patient, obliging and friendly. His communication skills (in replying to our requests before the tour, and his verbal communication skills during the tour) are excellent. He is an extremely competent driving, even managing to reverse superbly down a very rough dirt track without any mishaps! Great local knowledge. Highly recommended.

Toussaint was great. I highly, highly recommend him. His professionalism combined with his warm personality and kindness made for a great tour. He drove us around the island and took us to the beautiful sights. I visited the island over 40 years ago. As a life time local Toussaint was able to figure out where I stayed and took me to the area and the exact hotel on nothing more than my spotty memories. My family is all gone but he helped me with some wonderful memories! What a wonderful day!

We had a wonderful day with Toussaint. We asked him to show us St. Kitts through his eyes. We were able to see the beautiful island and learned so much about the people of St. Kitts. We saw the fortress, the beaches, the villages, the old sugar mill plantation. I would not hesitate to call him again when we are in St. Kitts!

Tatem is very personable and professional. He grew up in Basseterre and gave a good driving tour of the city. We enjoyed the stop at the Romney Manor and at the fort. Tatem was very accommodating to our slower pace. He is an excellent driver which was very important on the narrow two-way roads.
