Highly recommend! - My tour guide Lionel was amazing! He took me all over the island explaining everything, went to the market place, shopping, and seeing the beautiful homes, as well as areas the government needs to help 😞. Highly recommend this tour, and very safe during Covid.

Great tour - Dale was brilliant, knowledgable and funny. Because I have been here a few times before he kindly took me to see places I wanted to see that were not on the itinerary. Can’t praise him enough

St John‘s visit - My husband and I decided to book this tour to visit Antigua’s capitol with a guide who could tell us about the city’s history. We got the chance to spend the morning with Gregory who was an absolute delight to tour with. We got the chance to visit the market, as well as some of the other sights. Gregory was funny and very descriptive (which was perfect for my husband who is blind). It was definitely time well spent. Thanks again, Gregory, for a great outing.

St Johns insights - Our guide, Vernon, was very informative and went a little out of his way to show us some 'extra' sights as we went along.

Nothing much to see here! - If you like being bothered, here's a great tourist trap. Lots of people were annoying the tourists to take tours of the area. (Frankly, there isn't a lot to see.) There are a ton of t shirts and other vendors and this is the usual spot for those whose cruises stop here. The t shirts are a fine souvenir, but the area is very crowded and hot. (It truly isn't anything special...)
