    Excellent guide Kim, and driver Wayne who coped so well with the poor road surfaces. Didn’t detract from the experience but roads generally poor. Kim gave an excellent commentary throughout. Very clear, good facts and interestingly presented. The stop at the Blockhouse/Barracks also gave great views. Less interested in celebrities who live there but know other people maybe are. Shirley Heights was good and necessary preparation for the visit to Nelson’s Dockyard. Lots of information boards there. Nice quiet beach but not our thing. Kim’s knowledge was very impressive, and obviously enjoys her work. Well done Kim. 👏👍 Paul and Kate from Britain 🇬🇧

    The views from the several lookouts we went to were stunning. Our guide was knowledgeable. The group was bigger than we expected and the time at the fort was too short. The fort's guide was not good and ate up time we could have used to explore. The beach was really nice.

  • Fabulous overview of Antigua

    Fantastic tour with our wonderful tour guide Deborah and Wayne, our driver! Deborah really gave us a great overview of this interesting and lovely island. Deborah is friendly, charming, and witty and the stops were well timed and the day went quickly because everything was very interesting. These folks are highly professional and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who’s interested in getting to know Antiqua better.

    A very good enjoyable insight into Antigua and the Historical area of Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley Heights. Kim was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable entertaining, friendly and helpful. We felt we could have had more time at Nelson's Dockyard and less time at Beach. But thoroughly enjoyed the views and the history..
