“The other reviews were spot on. Our guide, Leo, was friendly, knowledgeable and conducted a phenomenal tour. Amazing views, good conversation, and learned a bit, too. And, as a Cleveland Browns fan I won’t hold it against him that he roots for the Bengals! (LOL!). Great way to see the island and get off the resort for a day.”

“The tour is boring & overpriced. We were disappointed. The driver could have stopped and offered to get a bottle of water. He talked about Antiqua as having the sweetest pineapple in the world. He should have stopped at a little produce stand and let us try a banana or something . I wouldn’t recommend this tour .”

“1. Our guide, Robert, did a great job. Very friendly and informed. 2. Smokers had evidently been permitted in the vehicle. Though the vehicle was very clean and the odor somewhat faint it was very definitely there. Non-smokers can always tell and always really don't like it. 3.

WE carted our beach stuff with us in anticipation of a brief beach stay. On the other…”

“An easy 5 min walk from the cruise port to the meeting point where we found Giles setting up bicycles and equipment.

The guides put a lot of effort into giving you chances to hold and touch stuff like starfish and jellyfish.”
