About this experience
We at Sugar City Trains realized the need to bridge the gap between the history of St. Kitts, specifically our main city, Basseterre, and persons, both visitors, and locals alike. We thought the way to do this best was by a guided tour on our trackless train (road train), the Sugar City Train.
-- Exclusive journey through Governor General’s Mansion
-- Tour the National Hero’s Park
-- Brief stop at the Cenotaph Monument
-- View the Old Sugar Factory
-- View the C. A. Paul Southwell Industrial Park
