5.00I love being able to maximize my trips by visiting multiple countries. This was a great opportunity for that! Roberto was our guide. He is so knowledgeable and very educated. He speaks 5 languages and knows all about history! Bring your passport! & prepare for a long day in the car. Maybe bring a pillow to take a nap on the drive back. Small group. Just myself and another girl. Antigua was super safe and has beautiful architecture. It’s been in my bucket list forever! Definitely worth it.

1.00Do not sign up for this excursion. As they will cancel very last minute. I planned my trip around this event for them to cancel last minute with no real reason was very disheartening
Wonderful
