Historic Fort Christian

St. Thomas is rich in history (seven flags have flown over the island since Columbus) and the town of Charlotte Amalie affords an easy opportunity to travel back into the time of the first settlers.
This tour takes in the old quarters of the town and includes a stop at Blackbeard's Castle and Fort Christian - two of the oldest structures on St. Thomas.
Another popular stop on the tour is the Haagensen House, an early 1800's home built for a wealthy banker and recently restored to perfection.
The tour travels by air-conditioned van throughout the narrow streets, stopping to take in the vast array of historical sights along the way. Learn the true history of the West Indies, about it's inhabitants, and why St. Thomas became, and still is today, the most popular port in the Caribbean.
This is a quality experience for those interested in history and in seeing the quaint sights of the old town. Also included is a free rum punch and a brief photo stop at Paradise Point, the most scenic overlook of St. Thomas. Bring your camera, comfortable walking shoes and a hat.
Those wishing to shop the famous "Main Street" area may depart the tour in town.
