Looking for a NON-Beach tour in St Kitts

Has anyone done any of these tours?

I have done Royston's Tour and enjoyed it very much. He is extremely flexible and will customize tours according to what you want. I would check with him to see if he can accommodate someone with serious mobility issues. How bad are you husband's mobility issues (for example - wheelchair ?, cane?, just some walking issues?)

 

I have arthritic knees and other medical issues and I had no problem doing a tour which involved some stairs (especially to get up to the fort at Brimstone Hill)(You can still see the lower buildings - magazine and blockhouse without going up stairs but to get up to the main fortress stairs are involved).

Zeno,

My husband uses a cane and cannot walk for long periods of time; stairs are a real challenge.

I will drop an email to Royston.

Thanks:)

Thinking specifically of Brimstone Hill - which really is the only frequently visited site with "lots" of stairs - your husband might not be able to make it up to the fort itself but tours do drive to the lower level - where there are great views and a good view of the fort and the other buildings are at that level - so I think that he could still get something from a visit there. The stairs in question are very large and not steep BUT sort of "slope" downward a bit - I found that it actually made going DOWN the stairs a bit more challenging than up. I saw people with canes do the stairs but I think only your husband can judge for himself if he can do them. If I see a picture that shows the stairs well I will post it. There are plenty of places to sit once you get up the stairs (the battlements themselves and some benches).

 

The following page has a VERY good photo of what the steps are like:

WOW!!! Those pictures are awesome!! Thanks so much for looking them up for me. I think the lower level will be perfect for him :)

 

Thanks again for all your help!

Thenford Grey offers a non-beach excursion, we used him in January and were extremely pleased with him.
