I visited the Plantation House and Gardens in early April and couldn't have asked for a better tour. Philip was a very hospitable and informative tour guide. He took the time to explain things and also made sure he answered any questions. The grounds were absolutely beautiful. I intend on going back the next time I am in St. Kitts. More

We were there several years ago and were drawn back again to one of the great highlights to see in Saint Kitts. The owners Bridget and Philip have created beautiful gardens... More

Six of us were holidaying on the Emerald Princess and for our stop in St Kitts we decided on a trip to Clay Villa. The organisation beforehand was superb with Phillip ringing us at home in the Uk to organise our every need as my daughter is in a wheelchair. We were met at the port by the lovely Leroy... More

Six of us booked a tour of St. Kitts and the Clay Villa through the Clay Villa site. We were met at the cruise port by our driver who was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable of the island. The Clay Villa Plantation itself was such a nice surprise. The grounds were immaculate and Philip was a wealth of knowledge about all... More

Our visit to the Clay Villa Plantation on April 26th was informative and fun. Philip was a great host. His stories and comments were my favorite part of the tour. His wife's beautiful family home was amazing. It is great that it has been in her family for so long. She is also a great muralist. The tour was light... More

We were met at the pier by Wilma who was very interesting pointing out places of interest on the way to Clay Villa. We were greeted by Phillip at the start of the tour. Phillip was excellent at explaining about the history of the house and the grounds. The house is full of artefacts from around the world. In the... More

We visited the Plantation House and Gardens in early April and had a wonderful time. Philip was an excellent historian with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend this as an excursion from a Cruise or for just a day trip while on the island. More

Princess cruises offered a shore excursion to the Clay Villa Plantation. It was a very enjoyable tour, the owner Philip was very enjoyable, friendly and funny host. He told us all about how his wife's family was able to keep ownership of the plantation. This is their home and they open it up for others to enjoy a little piece... More
