Reisroute
English Harbour, de historische wijk van Antigua, is gericht op de 15 m2. mijlen van Nelson's Dockyard National Park. De haven werd ontwikkeld als basis voor de Britse marine tijdens het grote zeiltijdperk en diende eind 18e eeuw als hoofdkwartier van de vloot van de Benedenwindse Eilanden.
Op Shirley Heights zijn de gedeeltelijk gerestaureerde vestingwerken van de koloniale observatiepost van de haven; het uitzicht vanaf Shirley Heights strekt zich uit over de haven en ver over het Caribisch gebied naar naburige eilanden. Shirley Height is vernoemd naar St Thomas Shirley (1727-1800) Shirley was de eerste gouverneur van de Benedenwindse Eilanden in 1781.
Hier kunnen bezoekers een indrukwekkende multimediapresentatie van Antigua's geschiedenis bekijken. Van de eerste schikking tot onafhankelijkheid. Observatiedekken op Dow's Hill bieden nog een mooi zicht op de haven. Net als de verwoeste vestingwerken van Fort Berkeley, gelegen aan de andere kant van de baai. En, bereikt door een wandeling rond zijn omtrek.
Een glimp van onze geschiedenis en een rit door de zuidkust van Antigua.
Uitzicht op de noordoostelijke kant van het eiland, uitstekende plek voor foto's, een niet te missen plek. Door de eeuwen heen hebben deze krachtige schuimende branders een natuurlijke kalkstenen boog uitgehakt, genaamd Devil's Bridge, en blaasgaten gecreëerd waar geisers van spuitende branding met spectaculaire resultaten doorheen storten.
Ontdek bij Betty's Hope de geschiedenis van de beroemdste suikerplantage van Antigua. Met volwaardige suikermolens en een museum

Small group. Excellent personal service from our driver. Comfortable vehicle. A great alternative to a beach day.
What an amazing day! Such a comprehensive itinerary, driver/guide Polw (hope I had spelt that correct)for so knowledgeable and friendly. We were met at the cruise terminal, escorted to driver.Definitely recommend
Tumba gave a more than excellent tour. I wish there was another word to describe it. Tumba was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with.
Tumbo was terrific! It turned out to be just the 2 of us. We saw the sugar plantation, devil's bridge, and 4 stops in the National Park (Dows Hill Center, two viewpoints near Shirley"s Heights, and Nelson's Dockyard). Tumbo was full of information on the natural and cultural history of Antigua. We had a great day and highly recommend his tour.
Privattour! Be sure to do it! Tour with all the sights, rainforest and most beautiful beaches. Our driver Sean described everything great and left us plenty of time to explore. Ask for Sean! Anytime again.
We started our tour early and made it to some of the highlights just before the crowds started to arrive. Our tour guide Tumba was amazing, the sites were great and we had just the right amount of time to see all of the sites. We have been to this island before and never seen many of the highlights that this tour took us to.
It is great to hear you had a great time and that Tumba made your time to be an enjoyable experience seeing our island, thank you for your kind comments
We had a wonderful time on our circumnavigate tour. Our guide was Tumba who was fantastic sharing so much history and knowledge of the island. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much, that is lovely to know you had a wonderful time, I will share with Tumba he will be beaming, Carl
I had an amazing time touring with Carl today! Carl was very courteous and made sure we were comfortable. I learned so much about the culture of the island and many new facts. I highly recommend booking here at this establishment. 10/10
Hi Guys, Thank you for your review it is great to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and also on our Island, we love sharing gems of knowledge about Antigua, Take care Carl
We got to the meeting point 15 mins early (8:45) to make sure we were at the right spot. I confirmed with a few locals that it was correct. At 9:15 I spoke with one of the wonderful staff at Exotic Antigua - and she phoned the tour operator for me. Carl hadn't realized there was a tour that day. At 9:45 Carl showed up and apologized for the situation. He said he had his guide on the way would be there shortly. He gave our guide $20 for drinks for us to compensate - even though drinks were already supposed to be included, so we were a bit confused by that. Carl said that he expected us to give him a bad review. We both thought this was a strange attempt to try and turn our bad start around. The guide eventually showed up (I wish I could remember his name) and completed a really great tour. The guide had had a full day planned with his family as it was his day off, and he was not expecting to complete a tour. He did a great job in not showing his disappointment. We really enjoyed the island and all of the stops; they include a lot of history about the island. Based on our experience, I think the guide could easily create his own tour company and complete his own tours.
Hi Ashley E, my further apologies to you, rather than create an a story or excuse for what had happend, I explained and apologized when I arrived at the cruise port. The tour comes with some drinks which we prepare the night prior to our tour in a coolbox, the monies I had given to my guide was for him to purchase beverages for the tour during the day. Thank you for you compliments to my guide, all are hand picked and trained to a high standard.
Carl gave a great insight into much of the island and told a lot. It was very relaxed and we were well fed.
Thanks for your kind review, we really love sharing insights and delights of Antigua's rich history. So when our guests have a great time it makes our day. Take care Carl
