Great experience to explore Antigua
Great tour around the island. Driver Vernon was very informative, easy to talk to and you can tell he truly loves meeting people and showing them around Antigua . He is a proud Antiguan and as a solo traveler I felt very safe during my tour with him.
- I was the only person on this tour and I loved every minute of it .

Two old folks visiting Antigua.
This tour goes to some of the most famous landmarks, and amazing views on Antigua. If you are not accustomed to driving on the left, taking the tour is much better than renting a car. Also, there are few road signs here, so Google Maps could send you on some awful roads. Yes, the tour is worth the cost. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Half day tour of the south of the island
Wonderful morning with Riley as our guide, very knowledgeable and gave thoughtful details throughout. 3 hours went very quick and the journey took most of the time so I would go again and spend more time at the locations particularly Nelson’s Dockyard as 15 minutes wasn’t enough to walk around properly.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable morning with Riley and appreciated the knowledge and thoughtful details along the way. We completely understand wanting more time at the stops, especially Nelson’s Dockyard. We’d love to welcome you back for another journey with us!

A very pleasant ride with VELMA
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.

Good overview of Island.
I am at an all inclusive resort but also wanted an overview of Island. This tour was as advertised and fit the bill. I was pleasantly surprised to be only person on the tour. Driver/guide was pleasant and informative. Tour did include pick up and return to Jolly Beach Resort, where I was staying.
