Need A Taxi Service On St Kitts BVI?

If you need a taxi service on the island of St Kitts, BVI, you need to tour with Raphael of Empress Coaches. We discovered Raphael…or did he discover us? on our recent cruise of the Eastern Caribbean. You know I love a nice entrepreneurial story…
We wandered out of the port, looking for the train station, for a tour of the island only to be told that the station was miles away. At that moment a large shiny taxi pulled up and offered us a lift. Inside was our angel Raphael, who promptly took us to the station, only to find the one train has already gone. “Cost you $100 apeice anyway” he said “I’ll do a tour of the island for much, much less and drop you at Monkey Beach too”. So off we went…
In the picture you can see Nelson Soremekun, Spencer “Spud” Cairncross-Wood and Raphael E. Liburd, of Empress Coaches & Taxis, St Kitts, BVI. Fully air conditioned tours of St Kitts! He also really knows his history of the island and shared that with humour and style.
He used to drive buses in Hackney, London for 20 years. Looked after us brilliantly and I highly recommend him for fun, economy and excellent service.
