Stunning Antigua - Cyril was an extremely interesting guide. His knowledge of Antigua was boundless. Our tour lasted 4 hours and we believe we saw and heard enough to feel adequately educated about this stunning island. Excellent tour all round.

Super knowledgeable, with amazing sights mixed in! - I was glad this tour continued being the only person and boy what a treat it was. I have traveled all over the world and this may be the most comprehensive tour I've experienced. Michael was a WEALTH of knowledge and eager to share his extensive knowledge of his island as well as answer any and all questions. I always had time to take in the sights, get pictures and the conversation just while going from point to point was very stimulating, I learned so much and this tour def was a catalyst for me returning someday to spend several days exploring the island. Thank you Michael for your attention to detail and excellent tour, much appreciated!

Awesome Antigua Island Tour! - Benjamin was my tour guy, and he was professional, knowledge and a joy to be around. It was a great start to my birthday week. I had great takeaways from the tour along with great pictures and souvenirs too. I would recommend Benjamin to any traveler, as they would enjoy good company, good vibes and good history of the Caribbean beauty. 🙂

Whistle-stop tour of historical Antigua - We had quick stops at Devil’s bridge, Shirley Heights and English harbour.
Vernon was our driver who was very friendly and knowledgeable. Car was comfortable with air conditioning.

Great Tour of the Island - Excellent tour. Got to see most of the Island and special areas of Antigua. He definitely knew his history of Antigua. Took great pictures of me to send back to family. I recommend this tour to everyone and hope I have him tomorrow for the tour of St. John. He is great.

Poor attitude tour guide just for me! - 1. First, the guide/driver arrives more than 30 mins late. I was okay with that as this was a holiday and I was excited to learn more about the country. Also, he had called ahead to the hotel. 2. After hopping on board, I started asking him a lot of questions about his country. But he was so condescending after a few questions that I told him to send me back if he didn’t like having me as a guest. He said he gets great reviews on TripAdvisor but I told him I am not his preferred tourist so please send me back. He changed his tone after that but I totally stopped asking him any questions because he really did not know anything. I resorted to checking on wikipedia on my phone. 3. He kept driving past by statutes and churches but not giving me any time to take photos even from the car. As we passed by Sir Vivian Richards statute, and he told me who he was, I told him I want to take picture and he he said “sorry I can’t slow down”. After he did that several times I told him I hardly got a single picture in this drive by tour! 4. Towards the end he tried to tell me I needed to tip him because he was giving me more time, which considering the delay was only 15 mins. At the same time he kept hurryibg me at every site. I refused and said goodbye. Looks like I wasn’t entitled to the same level of courtesy as his other guests.
