familycruzinnewbie Posted May 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2016 We were looking for an island tour with beach and have had no luck hearing back from Royston. I've seen others mention Thenford Grey, Javin and others. Just wondering who would be fun for a family with teens and also does Javin include Brimstone Fortress as I do not see it on his list. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We have booked Javin in June, from what I understand it does not include the fort. He takes you to less touristy spots and shows you "his" island. I think he would let you customize the tour to fit your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul58 Posted May 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Some tour operators do not include the fort. There is an entrance fee of $10 US per person and the time involved in the visit. I would skip the fort and save it for another visit to St Kitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROWSE Posted May 12, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We have done both tours. I do love the fort, but with teens, I would suggest Javin. I think there is more adventure with Javin. I did a review of our cruise on the Eclipse, Jan. 2015. Here is a link, and St. Kitts with Javin starts at post #120. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2307077&page=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Mom 2 Posted May 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We loved the Grey grand tour. He was wonderful and the love he has for his island was apparent from the moment we met him. The price of the fort is included in his tour and I think the fort was so worth the time! The views were spectacular! There's plenty of hiking there if you're in to that and there's a small bar that served up some awesome drinks! His tour is very reasonably priced and we felt a nice tip was so worth it for both Mr Grey and our driver. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is such a wealth of knowledge. Getting that big bus through all of those stone arches along the road were a bit of a nail biter. Sure glad I wasn't driving through them. The country of St Kitts has done a wonderful job in their restoration of the fortress and was well worth it to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted July 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I booked Thenford Grey Grand Tour....includes several stops including the fort and beach time...I heard back from him within 24 hours.... Interesting. he is not responding to emails just now at all, me and colleague been trying for over a week. Maybe he is on leave but you would think he would set up and out of office. Does not fill me with confidence, everyone else on all the other islands have been so prompt with responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not fill me with confidence, everyone else on all the other islands have been so prompt with responses I've sent emails to 3 vendors and Thenford was the only one that responded the same day. Never did hear back from Javin or Royston. Guess I have to go with who wants the business. At least tell me your booked if you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul58 Posted July 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Javin & Royston are both single person operations. Maybe they did not answer because they were already booked up for the day that you are in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
