⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Exceptional Tour of Antigua! 🇦🇬🌴☀️
We had the most incredible 6+ hour tour exploring the whole island of Antigua with Exquisite Taxi & Tours, and honestly, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
From the moment Janel picked us up, the experience was incredibly special. It was my mum’s birthday, and Janel had gone above and beyond by decorating the taxi with beautiful birthday balloons. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel extra special. We were also greeted with bottled water and refreshments when we arrived, which was a lovely welcome. The taxi itself was so comfortable and the sliding doors felt like luxury.
The tour itself was phenomenal. Over the course of more than six hours, we travelled around the island and visited Nelson’s Dockyard, Betty’s Hope, Devil’s Bridge and Pigeon’s Point, and so much more! We saw so many different parts of Antigua and learned so much about the island’s history, culture and people along the way. The knowledge shared throughout the day was incredible, and we were genuinely fascinated by everything we learned. We spent an hour on the beach of Pigeon’s Point which was so delightful and a beautiful beach.
One of our favourite parts was stopping along the way to sample local produce, including delicious Antiguan mangoes and starfruit. It made the experience feel so authentic and gave us a real taste of the island.
Janel was so friendly, warm and knowledgeable, and the whole journey was incredibly smooth and relaxed. What we particularly loved was how the tour was tailored around what we wanted to see and do, rather than feeling rushed or like we were simply following a set itinerary.
And then, to finish the day, we headed to Shirley Heights to watch the most breathtaking sunset. 🌅 It was the perfect ending to an already amazing day. Janel even prepared delicious food and rum punch for us to enjoy while taking in the spectacular views. Sitting there, looking out over Antigua as the sun went down, was genuinely unforgettable. ❤️
From start to finish, everything was exceptional - the organisation, the hospitality, the knowledge, the personal touches and, most importantly, the people. We even got pictures and a personalised video sent to us to end our day!
If you’re visiting Antigua and want to see the whole island in one incredible day, learn about its history and experience it with people who genuinely care about making your day special, we would absolutely recommend Exquisite Taxi & Tours.
Thank you so much, Janel, for making my mum’s birthday and our day in Antigua so incredibly memorable. We will never forget it! 🇦🇬❤️🌴
5 stars really don’t feel enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing Antigua tour!
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!

Fabulous tour
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!
Operator response
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!

My Antigua tour
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.
Operator response
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!

Great Day With 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 ⭐️⭐️
