City of Castries Historical Tour

Cradled on the periphery of a collapsed volcanic crater, the capital city of Saint Lucia, Castries or La Carenage as she was called in the years gone by, is an inviting little town rich in history and patiently waiting to share the stories of the many stormy years gone by.

Your tour begins with a leisurely stroll towards the Central Market with your knowledgeable Tour Guide, and you are welcomed with beaming smiles from the vendors all eager to sell you their wares. The aromas fill the air with lingering scents of all the spices grown and processed locally, colorfully set up on countless display trays.

Continue your stroll bypassing the many historical buildings to include the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Derek Walcott Square, and the beautiful Victorian Building which houses our central library.

A short bus ride takes you uphill for a full view of the entire city, driving along the winding roads of Morne Fortune. Enjoy the captivating scenes as you visit the ancient ruins scattered on the mountaintop, culminating with a stop at a quaint little museum taking you on a trip back in time!

This tour promises to be a full immersion tour into the rich history of our capital.
