canadarocks Posted April 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We've never done an island tour of St Thomas (ie. Mountain Top, Drake's Seat, etc.), but I'd like to. We are NOT shoppers. But I'm curious if during the "shopping" part of most of these tours, is there anything worth seeing or visiting in the same area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted April 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2018 There's a Historical Trust Museum. Fee required. Lots of photo ops. Look for the guy in African attire. The other attractions were damaged from the storms and have not reopened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted April 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2018 If by shopping area, you mean town, there are restaurants and bars as well as many historical buildings. Mountain Top is just a gift shop with a great view. Drake's Seat is a wide spot in the road overlooking Magens Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadarocks Posted April 18, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thank you both. We won't be there until January 2019. Hopefully things will be reopened by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted April 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I forgot to mention the fort! It's a great attraction if you're able to do the guided tour offered at 10 and 2. It's not that interesting if you don't do the guided tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms411 Posted April 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It's called Fort Christian and it's the big, red building in town. The guide makes the fort come alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll definitely look for it, and aim for either 10am or 2pm. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
