“Beautiful Hike, knowledgeable guide!”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Gregs safaris promptly picked us up outside of the cruise ship terminal. We took a 4x4 out to a lovely hike in the mountains. Dion was very knowledgeable about all the plant and animal life on the island. They also provided a nice lunch at the end of the hike with rum punch and local fruits and baked goods. I... More

“Greg is the best part of St. Kitts!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

My wife and I spent our week long honeymoon on the island last April. We hit several beaches, Reggae Beach being my favorite. We stayed at Ottley's which has an awesome rainforest hike on the property, but it left us wanting more. Greg's Safari's took us on a great 2 hour expedition through the Phillips rainforest. He had us smelling... More

“Best tour guide of all time”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I hate tours. I don't like bus trips with 40 people to see the sights. I don't like group excursions of any kind because I usually end up disappointed in the trip, the value for the money and the actual history you are given. We were staying on Nevis but wanted to do one day in St. Kitts. I was... More

“An excellent tour”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Found this tour on T.A and booked. No issues with communication. Greg picked us up at the the cruise port on time as agreed. The vehicle was a Land Rover 4x4. We were the only couple on the tour that day. Greg was very friendly and informative. He drove with care and we felt totally safe in the back of... More

“Incredible Hiking Experience - Outstanding Tour Guide”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

Before we express how wonderful this hiking experience was for us, we would like to compliment the tour guide himself. Greg was everything that you can ask from a tour guide. His attention to detail was beyond tremendous and his knowledge of the rainforest enhanced the whole experience. Greg came to pick us up at our hotel at exactly the... More

“Beautiful tour of St Kitts”

Reviewed 25 April 2013 via mobile

We had a tour with Greg. He has tremendous history of the island and has a great tour and makes it interactive. It was quite interesting. The Land Rover Defenders are great tour vehicles to go thru the mountains. Two suggestions - there needs to be a bathroom break along the trip as between the bumpy roads and water consumption...

“He Plays Loose With The Rules"”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

We booked the "Valley of Giants Rainforest Hike" with Greg's Safaris, and received confirmation. We did not want to book the excursion offering by the cruise ship. There is supposed to be a rule that if a tour operator has a contract with a cruise line, it is not supposed to sell directly to cruise ship passengers so we naturally... More

Hello, The posting you have made to this account is rather severe and unfortunate for my ratings, especially considering that I did not just leave you alone at the dockside without trying to help you out, but did in fact come to meet you, at the designated time and place, because of the canceled tour, to let you know. Unfortunately... More

“Great hike!”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

Our hiking experience was led by Greg himself. He can either pick you up at your hotel or else you can meet him at a central location. He takes you in a small 4 x 4 jeep through the back areas of the rain forest. You are then presented with your own walking stick (definitely helpful) and leads the way... More

We discovered Greg's Safaris through positive reviews on Trip Advisor and I'm happy to add one more glowing review here.
