The personal experience was great!! Our tour guide was King David, he was absolutely one of a kind, he explained the history of the island, was patient with us to take pictures. We wanted to purchase souvenirs so he took us to the market place and we saved a ton of money. I would definitely use there service again!!!
Whilst on Antigua, decided to book a private Antigua trip which Chris Platinum tours were the appointed operator, King David was our tour operator for the trip, and having explained what we wanted to do, he was the perfect host, taking us to Nelson Dockyard, Shirley Heights, through the rainforest, a lunch and beach time at Dennis Beach, a great day with a great host, recommended for sure, with the rum punch a nice addition.
Very nice, personable guide. He found us the best possible spot at a quiet beachclub, just like we wanted! The communication could have been better during, as the plan wasn't clear and options werent given, we had to prompt a lot. But all in all a great tour discovering the island, we learned a lot.
Winston the guide was very knowledgeable. He told all the history of the island. The good and the bad.
Very disappointed by this tour... Actually, we had a driver... We asked him to speak French. No, he was talking Creole. After no interest this tour.. Just a tour of the island without seeing the points of interest... Very expensive for what it has St... I do not recommend
This was such a great day! A wonderful overview of the whole island, with fun and informative guides. Definitely worth the cost!
Thank you for the review Wendy! Happy you had a great day.
Wonderful tour with King David! He was right on time and tailored the tour to our preferences. We felt no pressure to hurry when we made stops along the way. David gave a lot of interesting commentary and served us some cold rum punch at one of our stops. He even stopped at a roadside stand so that we could buy some Black Pineapple, which was so sweet and delicious.
Wonderful seeing the island and beautiful views from various vantage points. We did not know we would be going to a beach to swim and therefore did not have are swim suits with us. We did stop at a beautiful beach and had rum punch.
King David was a wonderful personable guide and very accommodating, However, I felt it was an awful lot of driving for not many sites to see (Nelson Dockyard, Shirley Heights) . We had chosen not to spend time at the beach. Perhaps spending time at the beach might have made the driving more worthwhile. However, King gave us a very good intro to the island. Also King had rum punch and virgin punch available. However, I would have appreciated more a couple of bottles of cold water.
We loved our Chris Platinum tour with our guide, King David. His van was clean, comfortable and stocked with punch and rum punch! We received clear directions about where to meet after our ship docked. This was our first visit to Antigua; Mr. David made suggestions that helped us see the best sites. Nelson's Dockyard was picturesque and it was fun to explore the historical buildings. We also saw Shirley Heights where the views are stunning. Mr. David asked if we wanted some beach time (we did!) and he took us to a beautiful beach that was uncrowded. Throughout the day, Mr. David answered questions and made our drive enjoyable with all the information he shared.
