At Foxiepass, we're passionate about showing you the best this Caribbean paradise has to offer. So, grab your sunhat and let's dive into some of the must-see spots you'll experience on our guided tours!

St. George's Cathedral: A Slice of History

First stop: the stunning St. George's Cathedral. This Anglican church isn't just a pretty face – it's got stories to tell! Built in 1820, its unique blend of Georgian, Romanesque, and Gothic architecture will have you reaching for your camera. Our guide, Marie, loves pointing out the intricate stained-glass windows and sharing tales of the cathedral's resilience through hurricanes and volcanic eruptions. Trust me, you'll leave feeling like you've time-traveled through Kingstown's past.

Botanical Gardens: Nature's Paradise

Next up, we'll whisk you away to the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere. Established in 1765, these lush gardens are a plant lover's dream. Keep your eyes peeled for the descendant of the original breadfruit tree brought by Captain Bligh in 1793 – it's got quite the tale! Our resident botanist, Tom, can't wait to show you the vibrant orchid house and the medicinal plant section. Who knows? You might discover your new favorite tropical fruit!

Fort Charlotte: Views for Days

Ready for a climb? Fort Charlotte sits proudly atop a 660-foot hill, offering panoramic views that'll take your breath away (and not just because of the hike!). Built in the 18th century to defend against Carib Indians and French forces, this fort now stands as a testament to Kingstown's strategic importance. Our guide, Jack, loves challenging visitors to spot Bequia and other Grenadine islands on a clear day. Don't forget your camera – the sunset views from up here are absolutely Instagram-worthy!

Kingstown Market: A Feast for the Senses

No visit to Kingstown is complete without diving into the bustling local market. It's a riot of colors, sounds, and smells that'll awaken all your senses. Here's what you can expect:

• Fresh, exotic fruits you've probably never seen before
• Local spices that'll have you dreaming of Caribbean cuisine
• Handmade crafts perfect for souvenirs
• The chance to chat with friendly local vendors

Our guide, Sophia, knows all the best stalls and can help you bargain like a pro. Pro tip: try the soursop juice – it's a local favorite!

Villa Beach: Sun, Sea, and Serenity

Last but not least, we'll wind down at Villa Beach. This stretch of golden sand is perfect for those looking to relax after a day of exploration. Dip your toes in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, or simply lounge under a palm tree with a good book.
