What To Expect
Fort James
Fort James, named after King James II of England was built in the 18th Century because the British feared an invasion by the French. This fort was strategically built to guard the entrance of the St. John's Harbor. It was armed with 36 guns and had barracks which accommodated 75 men. A few of the guns can still be seen at the ruins of this fort.
Cathedral of St. John the Divine
The first cathedral was built in 1681, a simple wooden structure. This was replaced in 1745 after it was severely damaged by earthquake. The present structure as built in 1845.

3.00The city is dirty and smelly. There are spots of interest such as VC Bird bust, Heritage quay, the museum of Antigua, recreation ground, the craft and veggie market and more.
Not worth it

2.00Viator says 2.5/3hrs tour, it's not clear. The operator Blondel said 2.5hrs. Viator said to me that I was able to stop and see the Antigua Museum, St John's Cathedral, other churches, Heritage Quay, the vegetable market, Fort James. I expressed asked to Viator if I was going inside these attractions and I have been told yes. Blondel looked in hurry, wanted to do 2.5hrs showing me everything from the car. I said to her that the website said to stop and show me. Then she stopped but in the Museum and in St John's Cathedral she left me going alone. So I didn't have anyone explains to me. In the museum she came shouting in front of the lady who works there moaning that I was taking too much time, but she didn't agree with me how long I should stay in the first place. She has been rude, she recognised that and she started to recover the situation but it was too late. She messed up my tour. She stopped to Fort James. She stopped to the moulin where the sugar was worked. She didn't stop to the vegetable market, she didn't stop to Heritage Quay. I wanted to buy some gifts, I couldn't. She passed by the Prime Minister statue and I had to do the picture inside the car, because she said that she couldn't stop and get the ticket from the police. The tour is impossible in 2.5hrs so it's not worthy the money and the experience. Not completely satisfied witth the tour and the customer service. Viator wasn't cleared about the tour and Blondel she shouldn't behave in that way treatment me poorly.

5.00I had the same driver from the Island tour and was extremely happy. Excellent trip to St. John's and toured around and in the city. Went to St. James fort, the various churches and the hub of the city. He is extremely knowledgeable. Well worth the knowledgeable you gain about the city. Chance to see the everyday person activity. Worth the trip and not real hot in the morning.
Highly recommend this trip to see Saint Johns and our driver was knowledgeable and an excellent host.

5.00We had a great time. Our driver was prompt and had a wealth of knowledge about the island. He pointed out many interesting sites as we drove to and around Saint Johns. We told him we were interested in some local food and he took us to what he called the best local restaurant called Global Garden. When we got back to the hotel a number of the locals said they ate there a day or two before. Would highly recommend the trip.
Wonderful experience.
