What an adventure! We were on a cruise ship and the five of us were booked on this tour to see Antigua. We were greeted where the cruise ship let us off and we instantly started our full day adventure. Our guides were so knowledgeable and friendly, we truly felt like locals as we learned all about the island and culture. The day kept building as we stopped at the local produce market to pick up vegetables that were later used in the fresh meal that was prepared for us! From the donkey sanctuary (where we brushed and pet friendly rescue donkeys) to the fish farm, this day was full of information and we covered so much territory on the island. Our amazing tour ended on a tropical beach where the team prepared a fresh, tasty, home-made meal of fresh fish, local rice and bean dish (on a clay pot over charcoals), and skewers--all while we were on the beach and playing their local version of Cricket. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, whether you are visiting Antigua on your own or with the cruise ships. They couldn't have been any more kind, knowledgeable, and sincerely wanting us to enjoy our time on their island.

If you're in Antigua and want a tour that gives you a real insight into island life, plus expert guidance in snorkelling, then choose Johnny. We four friends went on a private tour, starting with an amazing visit (as part of a larger group) to Stingray City. I had never snorkelled before so Johnny took the time to show me how to use the mask in shallow waters. We then went on a personalised driving tour, including a great lunch on Shirley's Height, with some great local stops. Johnny took the time to understand what we were interested in and picked places to match. Finally we went snorkelling off Galleon Beach; my first time using fins and a mask in deeper water. Johnny was a brilliant tutor and we had a wonderful time. His demonstration of spear fishing was fantastic! There are lots of tours on offer in Antigua, but with Johnny you know you're getting a real local experience, chilled and relaxed but with details all planned out. He was punctual, his Jeep was clean, and he provided everything we needed.

Sean from VIP Tours was amazing! We did a private island tour and enjoyed every moment thanks to Sean’s pleasant demeanor and full knowledge of the island. From start to finish he taught us many things about Antigua and it’s secrets, and sprinkled through gave us insight into the life of its people. We would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! Thank you Sean!

I had the awesome opportunity to have Shouwyn Francis as my guide. Mr. Francis was friendly and very knowledgeable. He took us all around the island and I learned so much. He also provided food and drinks during our lunch break and let me tell you the food was so delicious.

This car service was great! He met us on time even way before we showed up because we went shopping at the duty free market and was held up because of a disgruntled customer ahead of us. Getting through customs didn't take long at all... only a few minutes. We were the last couple out and he was very noticeable..... looked like the tallest guy in the airport holding our name sign. We were escorted to his car which was very clean and spacious. He also had complimentary cold waters waiting for id's inside the car. The drive was about 30-40 minutes from the airport and he was nice enough to give us a info on the areas we passed.... he's a very interesting guy and a great conversationalist. All I can say is he you won't be disappointed with this service so book him now.
