5.00Coming for stove, Deborah was great as was Wayne the driver. The scenery was amazing and great to hop off and take some pics and get back on the bus. Beach was amazing, except no lounge chairs or anything but it was great.
Great balance for a half-day tour. We learned so much from our guide, who shared a lot of insight into what life is like

5.00This was a great balance for a half-day tour. We learned so much from our guide, who shared a lot of insight into what life is really like on the island. It was wonderful to see the local culture on the way to the sightseeing stops, and the beach was as beautiful as you can imagine. If you have more time, you might want longer at the beach, but for our cruise schedule, it was perfect.

5.00We had a great time with Kim as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and handled the day very efficiently. This tour is on one of those mid size bus/vans which was somewhat difficult for a couple of older travelers taking the excursion that had mobility issues or used a cane and they struggled getting in/out or opted to not get out. This tour has stops with navigating rocks, slippery surfaces and a beach. If you have mobility challenges, this may not be the correct option for you.
A Great Time in Antigua!

5.00For a half-day tour, this excursion did a great job fitting in a ton of sights, information, and experiences. Iyana (sp?) was a FANTASTIC tour guide. She was deeply knowledgeable and able to answer all questions, came very prepared with laminated photos displaying tidbits about Antigua and Barbuda, and was able to speak nonstop about literally everything we passed along the way.
