We spent a half day riding around the island and through many villages. Riley was a great guide and proud of his country. His knowledge helped make it a wonderful tour. So many interesting sites and beautiful views at Devil’s Bridge, Nelson Dockyard and Shirley Heights.

We were surprised to be alone on board with our driver. We thought we would be sharing a van with other tourists. It was very pleasant to be able to chat with VELMA, who took the time to articulate for us French speakers.

This was the perfect way to see some of the highlights of the Antigua! The tour included every stop I wanted to see, and Benjamin was the perfect guide. He answered every last question I had about Antiguan landmarks, history, and culture. He even stopped so we could try a local tamarind fruit straight off a tree! Overall, it was a great half-day tour, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get off their resort for a bit and see more of the island.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Antigua’s highlights and that Benjamin made the experience even better with his knowledge and thoughtful stop.
