Walk through Charlestown with a local guide on a 90-minute private tour covering Alexander Hamilton’s birthplace, the Methodist Church, Nevis Jewish Cemetery, and the Museum of Nevis History. Guides such as Greg and Wilroy have led past tours. Start near St. Paul’s Anglican Church and finish by the ferry terminal.

“We had a great little tour of Charlestown with Wilroy. He showed us many sites around the square, as well as some great history lesson about Nevis. We had a bonus! It was Good Friday. Everything was closed. But he shared some local culture with us, as the locals celebrated Easter. It was amazing! Highly recommend!”

“Stephen did a great job showing our group St. Kitts. The island seems fairly new to tourism, but he was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions. Sometimes I think you need to see how other people live in order to really appreciate what you have at home.”
