Visite culturelle et historique de la maison dans The Antiguan Experience

My wife and I booked the Antiguan Home Experience and Cultural Tour through ShoreExcursions.com. We've cruised many times, been on many excursions to a lot of places, but this was by far one of our favorites. What really made it over the top great was our tour guides, Marlon and Alexi (a.k.a. Christophe, Alex, or Lexi). The next day on another island we were talking about how we missed just hanging out with those guys. The trip wasn't only fun and relaxing, but it was educational also. We're looking forward to the next time we're in Antigua so we can take the same tour again! I highly recommend this trip.

We recently went on this tour and had a fantastic time. Lorenzo (aka Fabio) was our tour guide and he made the day so enjoyable with his quick wit and personality. He was so knowledgeable he didn’t stop talking the whole trip :). We visited the historical home, pineapple field and then finished up the day with a nice lunch and beach time at Fryes Beach. It was a beautiful white sand beach!

Our guide, Alexis, was very entertaining and fun. He gave us lots of information about the island and its culture. We toured a home and garden currently occupied by the owners, then visited a small plantation where we were introduced to many trees and plants and tasted delicious pineapple. Our final stop was a gorgeous beach where we could relax, and/or swim and were provided with a nice Caribbean lunch. We very much enjoyed the live band and singing after eating. We felt like for a short time we were welcomed into the local culture. We enjoyed getting away from the usual tourist hot spots..

We booked this tour because we had been to Antigua a couple other times and wanted something different. We lucked out and had Lorenzo as our guide. You will enjoy his humor and enthusiasm. The first two stops on our tour were very dull and the reason this wasn’t a 5* rating. The beach lunch was good and plentiful. The rum punch was better than our cruise ship. The best part was the band and vocal singer. Lorenzo was the steel drummer (not spare tire carrier) and we had a couple other lovely Heavenly tour members who sang and danced. A very enjoyable tour I would recommend for every age.

Firstly our pick up arrived over an hour late so we were very late joining the tour within a mini bus. Very little history or factual information involved. More a cabaret show! Looking at two pot plants outside the bus with the engine running with the fumes made me feel sick. Understand it was to keep the bus cool but to stand there for as long as we did was unnecessary and it wasn't really a 'farm' as such!! Very disappointed, felt ripped off!

Anyone who visits the island should take this tour. I loved everything about it. It was organized, the hosts were charismatic and very knowledgeable and I especially enjoyed all the additional information about island herbal healing!

Who do I thank... Lorenzo? Fabio? Alejandro? Halejandro!? This man immediately grasped all our attention, and he played many characters to prove his charisma, knowledge and charm. He truly has passion for his job, the people and the beautiful place of Antigua. With our driver Daniel, we were well taken care of and entertained. Lorenzo kept us laughing from the start. His captivating facial expressions kept me from sleeping on the bus, and if you weren't listening he would call you out!! We learned so much about the history of Antigua, and even learned some phrases in their language. We all had to practice speaking. We stopped at a heritage home, flooded with culture and history. Then having some herbal tea filled with health benefits. Don't forget to pet the cat CiCi, who is super affectionate, and say hello to the parrots, they literally laugh with and at you. Not only did we get to know from a local about the culture and history, he also marinated the amazing jerked chicken and served us!! I don't want to spoil the tour but he is skilled and talented more than meets the eye. The beautiful beach had white sand, bright blue waters and perfect waves to lay in and float. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our guide Lorenzo and driver Daniel. Thank you for the energy you both bring! I wish I could just stay here in Antigua a little bit longer .... ... And I'll likely come back again soon to see more of the island :)) it is such a beautiful and spiritually charged island

The trip to the McMillan home was a bizarre experience. Walking through a private residence filled with thrift shop quality junk was the least enjoyable tour stop on my travels.

Alexis gave a fantastic tour. 100/10. We saw insight into Antigua that we otherwise wouldn't have. He was funny and engaging the whole time.

Our tour guide Marlin and driver Nigel were a great team to show us a glimpse inside Antigua and its rich culture. The beachside lunch was delicious, and the beach itself was a delightful interlude near the end of our tour. Very informative, we learned about the islands history and agriculture, sampling local pineapples and rum.
