You must book this tour!! - This is a great tour! Vernon was amazing! His knowledge of the island sites and history was endless, and his warm personality made us feel right at home. We truly enjoyed ourselves, and we would highly recommend as a must if you want to get to see the island and learn about its people and its history.

Great Historical tour - Benjamin was excellent. He provided so much history about the island and even though we've been before, we learned so much. If we come back, I would not hesitate to ask directly for him.
Communication with the tour operator was prompt except the directions for meeting need to be improved. We did learn this was a new change.

Antigua Historical Tour - We were the only people on the tour this day so we’re taken round in a car. Syril our driver was fantastic, knowledgable, fun and patient. A great tour and gave us a real feel about the place.

Comprehensive private tour - Comprehensive private tour with Vernon in his Cadillac. Good guide and we saw a lot of the island. I think Vernon knows half the islanders!

Can’t get any answers… - We didn’t go. My husband got sick and then he fell bruising his back. This happened unexpectedly the night we arrived and didn’t have the chance to cancel.
Can we get a refund due to this unexpected occurrence?
