St. Kitts HELP!!!

[Joby]

We've also had a change with our guide, Royston, on St. Kitts now. His A/C is broken and everyone says our 77 yr. old frail Mom should definately have A/C.

 

I've had all of our tours set up for 3 months and just 3 days ago found out changes on St. Kitts and Dominica and a slight bobble (now fixed) on Grenada!

 

I've posted on the St. Kitts board and found info on:

 

Thenford Gray--already booked

Clement Richardson--no response

Rose of Jim & Rose Taxi Tours--no response

Annies Tours--no response

Socrates Hodge--too expensive ($25/hour for 9 hr = $225)

 

Can anyone give us some first hand recommendations to set up a guide today? We want to tour the whole day and snorkel.

 

We leave Sunday!!!!

at this late date, I would line up a tour with one of the many drivers who will be at the pier. Lot's of people do that very successfully.

Have you read the posts in Ports of Call/St. Kitts? I saw a review of a tour with Ilva Wallace.

We had a WONDERFUL tour that we got in just that way. Best tour of our cruise, in fact. Many of the drivers had A/C vans, we just opted for open-sides because we prefer it for taking photos.

I am so paranoid about not having a pre-booked tour guide.

 

I am a worrier and we are also traveling with our Mom who is older and frail.

 

How can I tell if a guide is going to be good? Just by his/her friendliness? What if they are friendly before to get our businees and then do a crappy job with the tour?

 

It may be our only visit to St. Kitts and we want it to be wonderful.
