The tour guide was very...
The tour guide was very friendly, providing drinks while travelling around the Island. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Island, its British roots and its passion for cricket. Shirley Heights was an amazing view of Nelsons dockyard and the surrounding area.

Historic tour
We visited Devils bridge/ the historic dockyard, Bettys Hope Sugar plantation and Shirley Heights. Our guide Carric was well informed and knowledgeable. During the day he introduced some quizzes and activities to keep us engaged while driving to the sites. Antigua is a beautiful island and it’s was worth finding out a little more of the history of the island.

Good tour of ok island
Good tour of island although nothing that spectacular to see. Devil's Bridge might be more impressive when the sea is a bit more rough. Nice views towards end of tour.

Take this tour, you won’t regret it!
Devon was our driver and tour guide and he taught us so much about the history of Antigua. He was a very skilled driver and always took time to point out highlights along the way. He was kind and had a way of telling stories that was very engaging and interesting. A great day and a wonderful tour! Thank you Devon.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We booked a private island tour and it completely exceeded our expectations — and our guide Carrick was the reason why. His passion for the island was evident from the moment we set off. This wasn't just a standard tour; he genuinely loves what he does and it shows in every recommendation he makes.
Carrick brought us to some truly lovely stops that we never would have found on our own. The kind of hidden gems that make you feel like you're seeing the real side of a place rather than the tourist trail. Every location felt handpicked and thoughtful and the last unexpected beach stop was the best beach on the island and we revisited later in the week on our own
If you're visiting and want an experience that goes beyond the guidebook, book a private tour with Carrick. His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge is brilliant. One of the best decisions we made on our holiday — we left feeling like we'd truly discovered the island.

Thank you for your kind words. 😆🇦🇬
