A great, relaxing & personalized tour - This was such a great, relaxing and personalized tour. Michael picked us up right from our hotel lobby and the tour immediately began. We learned so much about the island, it's culture and saw quite a bit of the main sites. The tour was just the right length, we saw much for the car, and when there was time to see more, we got out and dived deeper into this islands heritage. Thank you Michael for a great half day tour, thank you for sharing your knowledge, for the drinks, the mango and pineapple and your time during this tour. I appreciated doing this early in our trip as I learned more about the island what else to do while we were there. Thank you.

Jeep tour - I was a little disappointed at first because I booked a jeep tour and I had a SUV instead. I was the only person and I had the guide all for me. He was very nice and professional, so, I enjoyed the tour.

Personalized service - Benjamin was a joy to tour with. You could tell he was passionate about showing off his home island. He tailored our tour to our interests and showed us highlights as well as hidden gems all over the island. A very comprehensive tour. He had plenty of snacks and drinks for us and even helped us find a rare Wadadli beer. Benjamin helped us understand and appreciate Antigua much better. We got more than our money’s worth. Highly recommend.

Misleading Description and Not Worth the Money! - This review may seem a bit harsh but the important thing is it's completely accurate. About the only thing truthful about the description of this tour is the length...3.5 hours. The description says you visit three sites...Betty's Hope, Devil's Bridge and Shirley Heights.....we visited only one of these, Devil's Bridge. This was a huge disappointment as we really wanted to see Shirley Heights! Of the 3.5 hours, approximately 3 hours of this was spent riding in the vehicle....I understand that it may take some time to get to places but this is not my idea of a worthwhile experience. Michael was a friendly tour guide and he did pick us up at our hotel on time. During our lengthy ride he tells you things about the flora and fauna that you will see and about the island's history and culture....some of this was interesting and some not so much. During our drive our tour guide did offer us something to drink which we declined and some fresh pineapple which we did enjoy but eating it from a plastic container while riding in the vehicle seemed a little weak to me. Why not establish some kind of relationship with one of the many fruit stands you see along the way....stop there for a few minutes for a fruit snack and maybe even some rum punch and have some interaction with the local people. That would be a lot more memorable experience. My other suggestions for improvement would be to rewrite the tour description to ensure its accuracy and to be honest you should refund me for one adult fare because what we received for almost $200 was extremely disappointing! We were the only people on this tour so I felt somewhat obligated to tip Michael but it wasn't justified.
