Excellent Tour and Guide - Wonderful tour with King David! He was right on time and tailored the tour to our preferences. We felt no pressure to hurry when we made stops along the way. David gave a lot of interesting commentary and served us some cold rum punch at one of our stops. He even stopped at a roadside stand so that we could buy some Black Pineapple, which was so sweet and delicious.

King David was an awesome guide - We loved our Chris Platinum tour with our guide, King David. His van was clean, comfortable and stocked with punch and rum punch! We received clear directions about where to meet after our ship docked. This was our first visit to Antigua; Mr. David made suggestions that helped us see the best sites. Nelson's Dockyard was picturesque and it was fun to explore the historical buildings. We also saw Shirley Heights where the views are stunning. Mr. David asked if we wanted some beach time (we did!) and he took us to a beautiful beach that was uncrowded. Throughout the day, Mr. David answered questions and made our drive enjoyable with all the information he shared.

Fun and welcoming tour - We went on a lovely tour with JoMarie. She took us around the island and had great suggestions for things to see. She told us many interesting things about history, daily life and island produce. We saw historical sites, rainforest and nice beaches. She was very helpful and kind with the young kids and older person in our group.

Excellent tour - At arrival in port our driver Nicole was already waiting for us. Nicole took us to several points of interest and told us about history, culture en about living on the island. She stopped on request when we wanted to take pictures. We went to Nelson's Dockyard, Shirley's heights, tasted black pineapple and drove thru the rainforest and more. Beautiful island and very nice people but Nicole is probably the nicest person on the island😄.

Breath taking! - The tour guide Nicole was just a blessing! She knew the area well and made sure we went to all the historical points with scenic views. Her excellent customer service skills coupled with her enthusiasm for her job, motivated us to walk, climb, and jump without complaining! The views were absolutely beautiful!

Wonderful seeing the... - Wonderful seeing the island and beautiful views from various vantage points. We did not know we would be going to a beach to swim and therefore did not have are swim suits with us. We did stop at a beautiful beach and had rum punch.

King David was a... - King David was a wonderful personable guide and very accommodating, However, I felt it was an awful lot of driving for not many sites to see (Nelson Dockyard, Shirley Heights) . We had chosen not to spend time at the beach. Perhaps spending time at the beach might have made the driving more worthwhile. However, King gave us a very good intro to the island. Also King had rum punch and virgin punch available. However, I would have appreciated more a couple of bottles of cold water.

Typical island tour, nothing special - Typical island tour. Nothing special to note if you’ve been on an island tour in the past. Another couple was with us in the van that we didn’t know. Our guide was David the King. Not a whole lot of narration. Long times in a car. No black pineapple trial. Stopped at one roadside stand unfamiliar to him and didn’t try anywhere else. Wasn’t a terrible time, just nothing special

Great Half Day Tour With "King David!" - We did a half day tour with "King David" as our tour guide. His van was comfortable and he provided us with a large bottle of homemade rum punch, and another of plain fruit punch. Both looked similar to Hawaiian Punch. We were hoping to get bottled water as the four of us didn't want alcohol or fruit punch. He was accommodating to stop so we could buy bottled water. He was very pleasant and gave us a lot of information about the island. He let us decide where we wanted him to take us, and was very friendly and a good tour guide. When we told him we wanted to sample Black Pineapple from the island, he found the perfect place for us to stop. It was a small place on the side of the road called Rita's Grill right along side one of the beaches. Rita's husband grilled fresh chicken and fish, and we ate at their picnic tables with a very pleasant view of the beach. The chicken came with delicious rice, pasta salad, and cole slaw, all very fresh and really delicious. The fish was Red Snapper fresh from the Sea, and that stop was one of the highlights of our trip. He took us to the top of Shirley Heights, where we had a breathtaking view of Eric Clapton's house and retreat, a view of Guadalupe, South America, and the island of Montserrat in the background. This is definitely the spot for great photos! We enjoyed our day and would definitely recommend Chris Platinum Tours.
