Fabulous relaxing day taking it all in

Kassie_D, Apr 2024

I did this day tour solo, bout our party was also made up with another couple and our fab driver LT. We had a really nice time - very easy going & relaxing as we drove about and LT kept us abreast of everything we were seeing and also answered our questions about everyday life in Antigua. The ride was really comfy and cool. Plenty space to relax and take in the experience. Highly recommend this tour - punctual in picking us up and dropped off in good time to still have an hour or so to spare for the beach/pool before the end of the day. Thanks LT for a fabulous day.

Wonderful overview of the island and it's history and culture. Highly recommended!!!

Brady_B, Apr 2024

Our tour guide, George, was fabulous from beginning to end. He immediately learned all our names and made sure to involve everyone on the tour with questions and anecdotes about the island and some of its amazing highlights. He knew incredible amounts of detail about the flowers and trees on the island, the different types of fruits, and the history behind some of the amazing locations like Devil's Bridge, Nelson's Boatyard and Shirley Heights. We also had a fabulous lunch at a waterside cafe at Nelson's Boatyard which was included in the trip. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antigua.

Excellent

Omara was an absolute joy. Informative, friendly and easy to converse with. We all enjoyed our day and it will be one of our holiday highlights

Must not miss tour of Antigua!

Indira_G, Apr 2024

We had a great time with George, our tour guide / driver. He paid particular attention to my husband's interest in cricket and showed us Andy Porter's house and the cricket stadium. Also took us to see some gorgeous beaches and views, along with providing the history of the country.

Excellent tour of the island

Jane_W, Apr 2024

Excellent tour guide and very comfortable air conditioned taxi. Visit to Nelson’s Dockyard was very interesting and the lunch was excellent.

Fun time exploring the island

Sasha_S, Apr 2024

This was a perfect way to see the sights around the island. Our guide was George. He was absolutely amazing. So friendly, funny, and had the most gracious and warming energy. I felt like I'd known him forever by the end of our full day tour. Throughout the day he shared so much about Antigua's history. We stopped all the sites listed in the "what to expect" section of the viator listing. He picked fresh lemongrass for us to smell, stopped at a local stand to try Antigua's black pineapple and purchase fresh juice. We had lunch at Nelson's Dockyard (so yummy) and were able to walk around and explore. We saw all the beautiful sights and had plenty of time for photos. We never felt rushed. The last stop for the day was at Darkwood beach and I thought we wouldn't stop because it started raining at that point. But even with the rain, George still stopped at Darkwood beach as promised and we had an unforgettable swim (rain, waves and all!). I cannot recommend this excursion enough. George was the best!!!

Amazing Day

Penny_T, Apr 2024

Our tour guide made us feel like family. No strangers on this tour. The locations visited and the history shared, was amazing. If it's your first time in Antigua this tour is a MUST!!!

Worth every penny

Matthew_S, Apr 2024

I’ve never been on a small tour like this. Me, my Fiance and our guide Omara. She was outstanding both as a guide and as a person. The tour was informative and laid back with some rich history of the island and some fun facts along the way. Cannot say enough about our guide though. Just a great human being and in all honestly talking with her was the highlight of the day.

Highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to see as much of island as possible. Our guide was very informative. The stops on the tour were beautiful!

Nice one day trip to see a glimpse of Antigua

KARWAI_L, Feb 2024

Tour guide/driver arrived on time. Very good nature and polite. The tour was a small group (including me, 3 travelers) and it was very attentive. Places which we visited were exactly as what was listed from the website. Highly recommended for people who don't want too much hassle but have arranged everything for you.

Excellent trip

Angie_B, Feb 2024

Excellent trip, great guide, very informative, some lovely stops. This is the 4th tour we have had with Viator on this trip and they have all been excellent. We have been kept informed and time keeping has been great. Will definitely use in the future. Thank you

Tour in Antigua

KristinBauer, Feb 2024

This tour was OK we went everywhere as advertised but our guide was not engaged with the group she talked with the person in the front seat and spent a lot of time on her cell phone and not really explaining much about the island.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello KristinBauer , Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is regrettable to hear of your experience with your tour with us.

Interesting tour

Sally_I, Feb 2024

Lionel was an excellent guide. Thorough knowledge of all the key sites. Very comfortable car. Great to be picked up from hotel.

Incredible sights, immaculate vibes, and lots of interesting history

Christian_R, Feb 2024

My wife and I ended up booking this excursion since our hiking tour got canceled and we both agreed this was so much better than what we would have experienced otherwise. Lionel (or LT for short) was knowledgeable, funny, patient with answering any and every question we had (there was never a question we asked that he didn't know the answer to), helpful when taking pictures, and above all else, extremely friendly and personable. Even when we weren't at a sightseeing destination, he was still telling us what village we were in and some history about the area we were passing through. We found ourselves exchanging stories and joking with each other while we saw the most beautiful parts of Antigua. The van was air conditioned and cool which helped out tremendously since us Americans are not built for the Caribbean sun. Overall 10/10 experience, definitely pick this tour out of the dozens of others offered. Also, LT if you're reading this, hit me up if you take another trip to NY. The first round is on me.
