Itinerario
Magnífica fachada de piedra caliza, adornada con intrincadas tallas y rematada con una majestuosa cúpula
En el Puente del Diablo, en Antigua, verás un espectacular arco natural de piedra caliza tallado por las poderosas olas del Atlántico. Esta impresionante formación geológica se encuentra en la costa este de la isla, en el Parque Nacional Indian Town. El puente ofrece vistas impresionantes de la escarpada costa y las olas rompientes debajo. Los visitantes pueden explorar el área circundante, que incluye respiraderos que lanzan agua al aire durante la marea alta, creando un espectáculo espectacular. El sitio también tiene importancia histórica, ya que está vinculado al folclore local y la trágica historia de los africanos esclavizados que, según la leyenda, saltaron del puente para escapar de las penurias de la esclavitud. La belleza natural, combinada con su contexto cultural e histórico, hace del Puente del Diablo un destino único y conmovedor en Antigua.
Betty's Hope, la primera plantación de azúcar a gran escala de Antigua, fue fundada en 1650 por el gobernador Keynell y desarrollada por la familia Codrington a partir de 1674.

Janel, was the greatest tour guide, full of enthusiasm for her home island, real knowledge and passion. Great sense of humour, kind and interesting. Top tour, would definately recommend! Highlight of our holiday!
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that our day together was the highlight of your holiday. Sharing the passion and beauty of my home island while keeping everyone laughing and smiling is exactly why I love what I do. Hope to welcome you back for another island drive next time! Janel
Amazing experience! Janelle is great! Communication was excellent from the start. She met us right outside the cruise port and then took us off on our adventure. She was great w historical and local info about the island and even stopped to get some some local fruit. She accommodated our requests as we asked that we spend more time on the beach and she delivered! The beach was beautiful. Definitely recommend. We traveled w our older parents and 7 year old son and she was very patient. Great experience!
Much appreciated for the 5 stars! I'm so pleased that you found the sightseeing both deeply informative and highly comfortable. Antigua is packed with so many incredible hidden gems, and giving visitors a relaxing, friendly way to experience them is my absolute pleasure. See you next time around! Janel
The Equisite tour was very informative and enjoyable. We visited quite a few of Antigua's tourists attractions. The guide was friendly, and made our trip fun and comfortable.

When you come to Antiqua please make sure you book this tour. Janel is wonderful. Her spirit and personality is top notch. She throughly explains to you about the history and the culture of the island and all its wonderment. If you want to learn about the island I highly recommend this tour.
Sending you a massive thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am genuinely touched that my energy and personality left such a lasting impression on your vacation. Diving deep into our island’s history, local culture, and natural wonders with visitors is my absolute favorite thing to do. Thank you for spreading the word to other travelers can't wait to welcome you back! Janel
I rate 5 out of 5! She was amazing !

We used Exquisite Taxi and Tours for a private tour of the Antigua. Janel was our guide and was incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. You could tell that she was passionate about Antigua and showing off its beauty. From face/hand towels, to cake and exquisite rum punch (Janel’s secret recipe) we felt spoilt and truly taken care of. We saw everything possible in Antigua and it really is the most beautiful island. We would highly recommend Janel and Exquisite tours to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future when we return. Thanks, Janel, for not just being a guide but becoming a true friend!
Hearing that you had such a 100% perfect experience exploring with me brings a massive smile to my face! I always aim to keep my private tours completely flexible so you can see the historic sites and beautiful locations at your own pace without feeling rushed. Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendation, and I hope to see you back in Antigua for another unforgettable day out! Janel
Janet was our tour guide when we got off our Virgin Voyages cruise in St. John’s, Antigua. Myself and four friends wanted to explore the island, and from the start, her calm approach made us feel completely comfortable. We felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely welcomed by Janet. In just a 4-hour tour, she showed us so much of the island. Her personality was amazing — it honestly felt like we’d known her for years. One of the fun surprises was when she took us to a Jamaican restaurant… yes, in Antigua lol! If you’re visiting Antigua, I highly recommend trying to get Janet as your guide. She made my Antigua experience the highlight of the five islands we visited during the cruise. I’ll definitely be going back to Antigua soon, and I’ll absolutely be booking Janet again.
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! It was an absolute honor welcoming your group off the Virgin Voyages cruise ship to St. John's. I am so happy that my calm approach made everyone feel safe and comfortable during our 4-hour shore excursion, and that you enjoyed the surprise local restaurant stop! Ensuring cruise passengers have a stress-free day and return to the pier on time is my top priority. See you next time! Janel
We were recommended this company by our cousin who had used them the year before. It was just the 2 of us and we booked a whole day tour. We didn’t really have any fixed ideas about where we wanted to go and so we let Janel suggest the itinerary. It was a good day out and we got to visit all the major sights and stops of interest in Antigua. Janel had bought some black pineapple with her for us to try and also a few beers for us to have on the way! She was lovely, very friendly and with a good sense of humour. She knew all the history and also local information. She was easy to talk to and a safe driver. We would definitely recommend Exquisite ⭐️⭐️
This was a great tour. Very informative and fun. I would highly recommend if you want to do a tour of the island with a great guide and see many sights.
My friends and I booked a whole day tour with Janel We had a great day Janel is very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Shirley Heights was definitely the highlight of the day.
