Keesha was a delightful and informative guide. She took us to some of the best landmarks Antigua has to offer, from the cosmopolitan capital, St. John's, to beaches, harbors, rainforests and the stunning view from Shirley Heights. In a half day, my wife and I learned about the Island's history, government, environment and people.

Melissa_S, May 2023

Sean was awesome: we got to experience his excellent operations side when booking and his knowledgeable fun your guide side. He showed is the entire island of beauty and introduced us to his lovely sister who was also doing a tour. This is a must book and excellent company. You won’t regret!

Terry is the man!

Juliann_T, May 2023

Terry was a fabulous guide! He made sure we got to all the highlight stops and also stopped at the Cricket grounds for my husband. Rum punch was awesome and to really learn the history of Antigua and Barbuda was a tragic history, but gave us true insight of the culture and people of the island. We loved our time with Terry and hope to see him and tour with him again.

Stories from Keisha about local customs and language. She was very knowledgeable about all the historical sites and places we visited, and the majority of the island was traversed, enabling us to see many villages and different types of countryside. We loved the black pineapple and Keisha’s singing.
