Tour of history and the present Antiguan people. - The nationally known historical sites were enhanced with the folklore of the Antiguan people. The breathe-taking visit to the St. Peter's Anglican Church and the history of it's architectural structure, the roof made from the bottom of the slave ship that brought over Africans to the village. Our tour guide, Jackie Phoenix was entertaining as well as knowledgeable. It was a pleasure being her guest!!!

A comprehensive and exceedingly informative tour! - Testimonial For Heavenly Tours Lorenzo delivered an unbelievably fabulous tour of beautiful Antigua. He is part of owner Jacqui Phoenix’s exceptional team of tour guides, and his expertise, professionalism, and courtesy were excellent! Since I was the company’s only traveler for the day, my tour was extended and customized to take me to four of the country’s seven parishes! We stopped for delicious meals at Cafe Bella, and I had authentic seafood water (a rich seafood soup) at Aunty Carvel’s Cook Shop. I saw the historic St. John’s Church and St. Peter’s Anglican Church, where slaves built this magnificent structure. I marveled at the plentiful red, orange, and white flamboyant trees throughout our tour. A stop for affordable souvenirs at the Caribbean Resources store ended this amazing tour of a wonderful Island country. I highly recommend Heavenly Tours to anyone visiting Antigua and Barbuda!

Antigua Tour - Alexis was our tour guide. He was so quiet while people were checking in but once the tour started he was so different. Quite whitty. A very fun guide. Great island. The stop at Our House and Museum an Antiguan Experience was very interesting. The husband and wife were so nice to share their history with us. The pineapple farm stop was a little disappointing as it wasn't a very big farm. The stop at the beach where lunch was served was great. Lorenzo the owner was so much fun.

Great Guides, Tour Not So Much - We booked this tour through Expedia Shore Excursions. There were 28 people signed up for the tour and were divided into two groups of 14. Tour guide Alexis was the highlight with his knowledge and humor. The tour itself failed to live up to our expectations. I expected to see an historic home with artifacts. We actually visited the 1970's home of Yvonne & Brian MacMillan. Yvonne is a nice lady whose family history on the island goes back a couple of centuries. The home more resembles that of a hoarder as there are items everywhere. Every surface is covered with items collected over the years. Without them being displayed and organized there was little context for what we were seeing. We couldn't separate the rare historical items from the cheap collectables. The black pineapple plantation turned out to be a small patch of 20-30 young plants in a field. The main plantation was in the distance. Alexis did his best to describe pineapple farming but we wanted more. Lunch and free time at Ffryes beach became the highlight of the tour. We were greeted at Ffryes Tiki Bar with a fruit or rum punch. Lunch was BBQ chicken breast, salad, rice and noodles. Food was good and we had a chance to swim in the ocean. Guide Alexis and driver Marlon did their best to give us a good tour but they were hampered by the itinerary.

What a waste of time - This excursion was so bad! Started out at a home where a couple lives. Filled with junk! Next the pineapple farm ..see pic! Next to that was a house with trash everywhere in the yard and mops hanging on s clothes line! Then to top off a shack at the beach where they were disorganized and dirty to serve lunch! My husband and I chose to not eat. The guide although very nice was not educated as a guide and made us wait for her in the bus constantly. Don’t book this!

A waste of time - We found it very boring. We didn't understand the man with the microphone most of the time. We had 2 stops on the way to the beach, A house full of old boring junk, and a trip to a pineapple farm, which was of no interest to us. The meal , according to the menu board, should have been a choice of Lobster, fish and chicken. We were only offered the chicken.
