Great private Antigua tour with a great guide.
Great private tour with a great guide, Elmo! He was very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very accommodating. We had a wonderful tour around much of the island and learned a lot. Take a private tour with Elmo -- you will be happy you did.

Over priced private tour
Great air conditioned car. Fantastic sites. No water provided (whilst driver drank his). Asked for ours and he said there isn't any. He reluctantly bought 2 500ml bottles to have lasted the whole day. We purchased our own at the next available stop.
Sites were great.
Bradley didn't speak. He was late and didn't apologise. He just drove and didn't share the history of Antigua. He only responded when we asked questions. He must have been drafted in last minute. If not, I wouldn't recommend him for the private island tour. A very boring tour. Didn't leave a tip.
Not worth the £250 for my husband and I. We had more chat with the driver from our hotel to the airport.
Operator response
Hi Citytraveller68,

We apologize for not having water in the vehicle, for the driver being late and not giving a good tour.
Our goal is to insure all our clients have to best experience ever but this was not so with you but we will ensure that this never happens again with anyone else.
Thanks again for the review and I'm happy you love the sites

Not up to scratch
One star for the air conditioned vehicle and one star for the sights. Just a glorified expensive taxi service, which you can get much cheaper by paying a local cabbie to do exactly the same. Started off okay but during the 5 hours there was no history or local knowledge from the guide. I think we knew more about certain points than them!! Sat in silence unless we spoke. Not what I expected for this tour. Not sure what the money paid is for the tour as you also pay for entry to Shirley Heights and English Harbour on top. A bit of a waste of money.
Operator response
Hi Trevor
Thanks again for your review.
All our private tour are done with a premium SUV, so yes it cost more then a taxi tour where the vehicle is a mini van or bus.
Some sites has an entry fee that is additional to tour prices.
We will work hard on improving our drivers communication skills because there is no reason for him to be totally quiet while doing a tour.
We really appreciate you bringing this to ur attention so we can improve our clients experience

Fun day in Antigua
Had a very enjoyable private tour of the island. Our tour guides were absolutely delightful as they showed us around. Far better than most ship excursions.

Basseterre sights
Basseterre is a unique island in the Caribbean because it is not as mountainous. Our cautious driver was able to take us around to many different areas and points of interest.
