5.00A very enjoyable half day. Would have preferred another 30 minutes at English Harbour but apart from that it was perfect. Our driver/guide, George was absolutely excellent.
Great cruise ship excursion alternative

5.00I loved the small group size.we started early and beat the cruise ship mobs. The beach was heaven. Beautiful, uncrowded, and incredible views. I highly recommend this trip
Reasonably priced comprehensive half day excursion by local tour operator that includes one hour at a beautiful beach.

5.00My tour guide was Suri with Voyages Antigua. She provided the narration throughout our half day tour. We had three stops and the last stop was a one-hour beach visit where most of us were able to enjoy the time on a beautiful sandy beach with calm warm ocean water (and it was late November). The entire day was perfectly planned in terms of travel times (in a small bus), stops to take pics & enjoy breathtaking views and finally, swimming in one of Antigua’s 365 beaches. Suri, however, made the excursion special with her narration, kindness and sense of humor. Anyone on a cruise looking to book an excursion with a local company should book an excursion with Voyages Antigua.

5.00The tour team were both excellent and transparent. If you want history, it was discussed and the port tour has a museum to explore.
