Lovely relaxing haven in busy Kingstown, enjoyed the historical significance of being the oldest in the western hemisphere and seeing the native St Vincent Parrot! Full review by John A
Hi, we visited the gardens in St Vincent last year, and did an organised trip. Next year we will be there again and would like to spend longer in the gardens, could you please tell me what sort of cost was the taxi from town? (We will be starting at the cruise terminal) and possibly how much was the cost for a guise? USD would be good if you have the information. Many thanks in advance.

To be honest any of the taxi drivers will provide an excellent service. They love their island, have a great knowledge of it and very friendly. The area close to the ship can look a little intimidating for the faint hearted but the locals are great too. Enjoy
Is the walk to the Botanical Gardens uphill or level? If it is uphill, is it possible to take a taxi or other transport to the gardens.

The gardens are laid out on a hillside so any visit will require some uphill walking mostly on well defined paths. Transport by taxi to the entrance and exits is easy but we entered at the lower end of the gardens and left by an exit higher up the hill.
Hi do you need a guide and kind of prices did you have to pay. Thanks
A:
The guide has lots of interesting little stories about the different trees and plants and local history. Ours had comical stories and was very good. Well worth the small fee. Hope this helps.
