Our guide was knowledgeable and clearly loves Antigua. He shared a lot of interesting history and local facts as we drove around the island, which we appreciated. You can tell he knows the area well. That said, the tour felt more like a scenic drive than an actual exploration. We passed by beautiful beaches but never stopped at any of them. At one point he mentioned we had to try the best pineapple in the world, but we never pulled over to actually try it. We also asked about local food spots, and while he had recommendations, he never offered to stop so we could experience them firsthand. For a historical sites tour, we were hoping to get out, walk around, and soak things in a bit more. The information was solid, but the experience would have been so much better with more actual stops along the way.

This is an excellent tour of the Island. Michael was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable with many facts and figures explaining island history and sites we visited. Our only issue was the very short time at Nelson's boatyard which should have an hour to appreciate it fully. Be prepared for a bumpy ride and a few thrilling moments due to the narrow roads, but our driver was extremely skilled and safe. A great tour!!

Our guide was very nice but a little soft spoken. The vehicle was comfortable but a little dated. Guide was on time and took us to everything on the itinerary plus dropped us at stringray city ( not on the itinerary).

We didn’t go. My husband got sick and then he fell bruising his back. This happened unexpectedly the night we arrived and didn’t have the chance to cancel. Can we get a refund due to this unexpected occurrence?
We’re very sorry to hear about your husband’s condition and hope he’s recovering well. Our driver did arrive as scheduled, and the front desk had to call the room multiple times before getting a response. As we weren’t informed beforehand, the service was fully dispatched, and we're unable to offer a refund. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to serve you under better circumstances in the future.
