    An interesting tour
    If you want to learn about the history, geography and culture of Antigua, then this tour is for you. We had the pleasure of being lead around the entire island by Giles who supplied us with interesting information and rum punch. Giles is a wonderful guide, always making sure our needs were being met. As we were driving along, he would stop and talk about various plants, buildings, historic sites and other miscellaneous things. What was advertised to be a 6 hour excursion lasted over 8 1/2 and it didn't even seem that long due to Giles engaging style and his obvious pride of his country. I strongly recommend this tour.

    Les was Great!
    Our driver and tour guide Les was truly a delight! He not only kept us entertained (and it wasn’t over the top talking for the sake of talking) but also provided historical information about Antigua and Barbuda. He drove great, lunch was delicious, and he prepared us for what to expect at the Swim with the Sting Ray attraction. Wholeheartedly recommend!

    Great tour of the island
    Had a great day with Kamesha touring Antigua! She was amazing and definitely made the day memorable. We visited the highlights of the island (Shirley's heights, nelson's dockyard, devil's bridge) and had a quick stop at the beach just before lunch at Betty's Hope. I was expecting the "off-road" part to be a bit more rough though. It was essentially dirt streets, but nonetheless a great experience.

    Island Excursion
    My friends and I had an exciting, friendly, comical tour driver, Yohann! Wow! Yohann was quite knowledgeable of Antigua. The trip was educational and filled with laughter. At the end of our journey, we stopped at one of my favorite beaches, Long Bay. It was great!

We did the Island Safari Gold private SUV tour and had an amazing time. Our tournament guide was Bruce and he made the day perfect. He answered all our questions about the island, took us to all the great spots and gave us tips and time to enjoy each one. We had an incredible time

We did an island safari gold tour today with Shouwyn Francis *Flava* and it was amazing. He was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It was an awesome day that gave us a little taste of Antigua. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if Flava is your guide.

We took this trip on Friday . We went from St. John’s out along all the beautiful beaches . The boat wasn’t too big or too small . The crew was very friendly . We stopped at Cade’s reef to snorkel . I told them I had size 15 feet . The crew member handed me size 11 flippers . He said those were the biggest they had . He also handed me a life vest which he said was mandatory to get in the water . One of the other passengers refused to wear one and stayed on the boat . I got in the water . The mask they gave me leaked constantly . The life vest stopped me from snorkeling normally . My feet hurt from the pain of the crazy tight flippers . The reef had absolutely nothing to look at . It looked stripped and baron . The rest of the trip was fine . The beach we stopped at was beautiful . The lunch on the boat was very good . Overall it was a great trip except for the awful snorkeling . Maybe next time we’ll just do the boat trip .

My husband and I hadn't been to Antigua before and wanted a good overview of the island. We were not disappointed! Our driver-guide, Kenrick, was a superb ambassador for his island. Knowledgeable, articulate and very funny, his favourite expression as we bounced along was "nice and easy" - all ten passengers in the safari vehicle had a great time. We travelled along roadways and off-road over hill and dale, to Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley's Heights for views of the British colonial defense infrastructure (and Eric Clapton's mansion!), ending up at Turner Beach, a lovely expanse of white sand and crystal clear water, for a local chicken and rice lunch - and some Antiguan beer (lunch included in the fee for the excursion). Excellent way to spend five hours. If you book, ask for Kenrick because he's a terrific guide. One small caution, it's sometimes a bumpy ride, so not suitable for bad backs.

My husband and I did this tour on our recent cruise stop in Antigua. Our tour guide was crazy fun!! We had a great time on the trip, saw many sites on the Island and learned a lot along the way. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antigua.

Had read the previous reviews of the Jeep safari gold round island tour so perhaps was expecting too much. Started well at 9am when we and another couple were picked up by Lloyd in an older SUV. The sights and sites were all great, banter with Lloyd was great. Lunch and first beverage stop though was at 2:30 for an hour and we arrived back at the hotel at 4. Started well but seemed to lose interest by the end of the tour. Good tour, but not really worth the high cost

We had a brilliant time in the 10 seater open Land Rover especially as we were the only 2 on it. Travis was polite helpful funny and went out of his way to make it a great day out. A great knowledge of history and the island and interesting sights and points of interest on the tour. Travis went out of his way to ensure we saw all the things we wanted to and the lunch at Turners beach made us feel we were in a Bond film. A really nice touch for which I'm eternally grateful in that he took us to the cricket ground to nip inside and get some pictures and also visit the sugar mill,and plantation. Travis couldn't have done anymore and he would score 20 out of 10 for me. A day we'll always remember.

Good Day Vicky, Thanks for writing us this great review we do appreciate your comments. We are glad to hear that our tour guide/driver Travis took good care of you guys especially since it was just you two. Yes, Turners beach is a wonderful beach, it is great to hear that you thought it deserved to be in a Bond Film. Thanks for mentioning that we do highlight all the major points of interest in Antigua while exploring. Please visit us again soon and tell friends about our beautiful island.
