Summary:
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!

Summary:
It was an absolute pleasure to meet Greg and get a walk around with him!
He turned up on time (+100 points :), helped me to store my bike while being on foot (caring gesture) and so much more...
I was the only tourist participating so I thought for a moment - it`d have been shorter and perhaps even monotone, but the opposite was the case.
If you`re on Nevis for the first time and get intrigued by the local history, this is it! Tour was factual enough to be interested but not too long and boring to yawn.
Great social skills, lots of knowledge and being open to any questions and discussions. I learnt not just about the history, but also current social subjects... You just name it!
If I come back to the islands in the future, I will be aiming to get to other tours. Nevis summit is no. 1 on the list and I can`t wait!
Thank you very much!
