Spend about 90 minutes exploring Charlestown and Nevis’s past with a private guide.

Guides such as Greg and Wilroy add local stories, though museum admission and some fees cost extra.

“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!”
