Christine gave me a personal tour as I was the only one booked for the time slot. She was warm and welcoming and gave a great insight to local history and a variety of venues. The trip to the market was especially unique because she takes you to places a traveler would probably not ventured into on their own. Great value for your time snd money in Antigua!
I had a great tour with my guide, Cristina! She gave us tons of interesting history about the city and knew a lot of fun facts! We visited several beautiful locations and stopped for snacks along the way. Loved this tour!
