Excellent tour. Sherwin did a great job with everything and we would highly recommend booking with him. We had many stops and the tour included lunch, beer, rum punch, juices and water.
Super friendly and very knowledgeable of the island. Overall this was an amazing experience I highly recommend!!
Fantastic day out with flava tours, he was very informative, easygoing and genuine who took us to various key sight stops!! Lunch was tasty and was a very good deal for what you get to see, do and experience, highly recommended don't pass this one by big up flava tours!!! Will return again with friends👍😎
Flava provided a great day touring the sites of Antigua. He was punctual and told us all about life in Antigua while driving through the crazy traffic and weaving around the huge potholes. Lunch was delicious at Mama’s Delight. Tour was laid out well and there was plenty of time to view all the places we visited. A great day in Antigua with Flava!
I went on a solo birthday trip and Island Flava land tour was one of my excursions. He was so nice and gave a great tour. Since it was my birthday, he bought me black pineapple to taste, which was delicious. The place we stopped for lunch was so amazing. I had such a great time that I booked the boat tour, which he recommended. He took the time to check on me after the boat tour. He is prompt to respond to messages. Even though this tour was solo, I had a great time, I did not feel rushed and I took in the whole experience, which I probably wouldn’t have gotten if it was a group tour.
If we could leave more than 5 stars about this tour we would! What an amazing day we had. We were picked up in a very nice SUV, well stocked as advertised. Our tour guide Capreece was just amazing! Her presentation and knowledge about Antigua was great! Besides the beautiful island, she made the tour for us! Lunch at a local restaurant called Mama’s Delight, was amazing. We would highly recommend the Island Flava Discovery Tour, and ask for Capreece to be your guide.
We had a wonderful day with a fantastic guide Capreece. She patiently answered all of our questions about history, current events, and Antiguan food and culture. Mama’s served an excellent lunch and was just one among many bright spots of the day. We saw other tours operating with open-air seating, so we were particularly happy to be in a roomy private car with well-running air conditioning. Make sure you try the very tasty rum punch!
If you are looking for a comprehensive and personalized way to experience the beauty of Antigua, I highly recommend booking a tour with Island Flava Tours. It was easily the highlight of our trip! 🗺️ A Perfect Itinerary Adapted to Us The tour followed a fantastic route that covered all the major sites, but what made it special was how effortlessly Flava adapted to our pace. We visited iconic landmarks, including the breathtaking views at Shirley Heights and the historic Nelson’s Dockyard. Driving through the lush Fig Tree Drive rainforest was a beautiful bonus. It truly felt like we saw the very best of the island in one day without ever feeling rushed. 🎤 Professional and Enthusiastic Guidance Flava was fantastic—incredibly knowledgeable and full of energy. He shared fascinating insights into Antigua’s history and culture, making the drive between stops just as engaging as the sites themselves. A true highlight was chatting with Flava about what local life is truly like on the island; it provided an authentic perspective we wouldn't have found anywhere else. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he went above and beyond to cater to our specific needs throughout the journey. 🍴 Delicious Local Flavors The food was another standout feature of the day. We enjoyed a delicious spread of authentic Caribbean cuisine, including perfectly seasoned jerk chicken, ox tail and local sides. To top it off, we had a chance to taste the famous Antigua Black Pineapple, which lived up to its reputation as the sweetest in the world. The Verdict: Island Flava Tours provides a personal, fun, and highly accommodating experience. The combination of a solid itinerary and the Flava's ability to adapt to our needs makes this an absolute must-do for anyone visiting the island.
A 5 stars experience. I highly recommend the work of Flava and his team. This ia probably the best private tour to enjoy Antigua at your own pace. Thank you so much!
