History of St. Kitts

Kim_Y, Apr 2024

Very fun and informative, our guide took good care of us and spoke in detail about the history of the island. The train ride itself was bumpy but yet fun.

The train ride was great

Jami_b, Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the train ride. Plus it was cheaper to book with you than the ship! Everyone was so very nice

Perfect paradise ride

Er_B, Apr 2024

Great train ride with many historical facts and lessons most have never heard of. Beautiful island with many friendly residents.

Interesting but crammed train

Ian_H, Feb 2024

The guide we had was very good but the train itself was slightly disappointing as it was too full with people crammed together on benches which meant you could not turn around to see the sights as the seats face inwards. The hostesses on the train were excellent and you could drink as much as you wanted so we ended up having a good time anyway.

Okay tour

DavidJ_L, Feb 2024

Difficult to find tour operator at the cruise terminal on a very hot day .Very nice train ride. Love the drinks and entertainment.

Wasn't impressed

fiona_B, Jan 2024

It wasn't the best experience,we got picked up by our tour guide, who was very informative but the actual train ride wasn't the best way to see St Kitts. The train doesn't stop to view anything so over an hour sitting with not much to see. Friends went on the bus tours which seemed better to see St kitts. The train in my opinion was over priced and not the best value for money.

Amazing tour

Laura_C, Jan 2024

Dujan was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend this this tour. It gives an informative overview of the island.

Great time with train trip and extras

Roger_K, Jan 2024

Wonderful time with the train (.endless free drinks.) and tour guide. The ship was late getting in and he reconfigured the tour and gave us options including a refund and made the experience great. We saw the whole island it see.ed and the Amazing Grace Church. We had time fir downtown shopping too.

A great feast on the last sucker trainrail.

Jesper_K, Jan 2024

A really nice trip along the Coast on one of the only Old sucker trainrails in Caribien. The guide was very good and the staff on the train very entertaining and happy.

Pass

Roger_M, Jan 2024

The train and tracks are in poor condition. The cars rocked back and forth so much that it was hard to take photos. Not worth the cost.

Learn to love St. Kitts!

ChristeneS, Jan 2024

The tour and the tour operator was on time, experienced, friendly and very knowledgeable. On the train part of the tour Seeing the beautiful island of St. Kitts and learning their heritage and interesting facts will make you fall in love with this incredible island.

Nice afternoon out.

SveinErik_B, Dec 2023

Great little jaunt around the island, very nice way to see the scenery and history with a much better view than from a vehicle. Nice touch with the bar but i'll have to deduct one star due to the lack of a beer being offered. Speakers on the train were extremely clear and the dictation of the guide made it a pleasure to listen.

OK train trek; bad transport

Nick_V, Dec 2023

This tour was fulfilled by VJ Private Tours. The van picking everyone up was dirty and did not have strong enough air conditioning for the nine people being transported. The people in the very back were roasting. Also, not all seats had seat belts. The train was OK. There were complimentary drinks provided the whole time, which was great. There were some good views of the mountains, ocean, etc. However, if you weren't on the upper level of the train car, a lot of the views were obscured by the tall brush growing by the train tracks. Overall this activity is best suited to older travelers who want a snoozy train ride.

Peaceful,beautiful and relaxing

Uriele_B, Nov 2023

The tour guide was outstanding and the scenery was beautiful and historic St Kitts is the cleanest island that my wife and I have ever been to in over 25 years of island travel. And people of Stkitts and Nevis are extremely friendly and welcoming

Great train ride

Michael_P, Nov 2023

The train is the most unusual one this train buff has ever traveled on. It is two stories but unlike two story commuter trains the upper deck is open— it is covered but open on the sides for sightseeing. Also rum punches are served from the bar on the top deck. A great experience!!

Highly recommend!

Larry_L, Nov 2023

Second time using Viator. Got better price than thru cruise line. Excellent communication. Highly recommend!

Fun train ride

Maureen_H, Aug 2023

Great fun seeing the coast of St Kitts. Party lime atmosphere, music, dancers and unlimited frozen drinks, water and anything rum. Everyone so friendly. You train one way and come back in air conditioned shuttles and hear more about the island.

St Kitt train tour

Barbara_H, Aug 2023

Great way to see the island. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Drinks were a nice extra and sat in the air conditioned cab, very pleasant.

Taxi they supplied us was poor, train ride was scenic and good

David_D, Aug 2023

Ok tour but our pickup component not great as they changed pickup times three times and we were last one on the train, then on pickup they took us the opposite way as they said they had to locate a missing phone and also our original van died. 20 mins to get to train but return back took over one hour.

Great Island Experience

KATHRYN_S, Jul 2023

The train took us off the beaten path and enabled us to see more of the island. The native dancing troupe was very entertaining. The trip was everything we had hoped it would be. We definitely recommend this excursion.
