Top 10 Private Tours in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua has hundreds of beaches, from the bustling Pigeon Point to the kitesurfing paradise of Jabberwock Beach. It's fun to mix it up—a day spent in a secluded cove, another spent people-watching at a tourist magnet. When you’re tired of sun and sand you can shoot ‘em up at Reservoir Range, where archery and air pistols are a fun way to work out any lingering pre-vacation stress. A tour of the Antigua Distillery is a spirited way to experience a true taste of the island.

Erwin was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable and definitely has a passion for his city! He even recommended and joined us for an extremely delicious, traditional Guatemalan meal. We not only had a blast on our tour, but also gained a life long friend. I highly recommend taking a tour with Erwin.

Spending the better part of the day with Sean was so worth it! He is very knowledgeable and was very flexible with our itinerary. We learned about and saw things that made our mother/daughter vacation time in Antigua very special. He is a great ambassador for Antigua! Looking forward to our next trip to the Island and time with Antigua VIP tours. COVID protocols followed.

My friend and I visited Antigua Feb 2020 and hired Lloyd for airport pick up and again for an island tour. We immediately hit it off with Lloyd upon airport pick up. On time, super friendly and very knowledgeable. A simple taxi ride turned into a very informative conversation about the island and things we saw en route to our resort. We asked Lloyd for recommendations on places to visit as well as places we wanted to visit so he created an itinerary for us. We spent literally the entire day with him. Picked up about 1030am and got back to JBR around 6pm. It was fabulous! He made stops along the way to show us things as he saw them- educated us on many plants and trees, stopped at a pineapple farm, stopped and he got us black pineapple to try (the sweetest pineapple in the world), went to Nelson's dockyard, Dow's Hill, Devil's Bridge, The Donkey Sanctuary, visited a friend of his that showed us his bees and got to sample honey right from the hive! We also stopped at Dickenson Bay. We wanted to visit the floating bar there but we arrived much later than anticipated so we sat and had supper at a restaurant on the beach. I highly recommended Lloyd!! Hope to be back in Antigua sooner than later and if we are, we'll see you then Lloyd!

This is a guided tour by a local spearfisherman. Taking in all the sights and sounds of the island on land and in the sea, 95% chance of snorkelling with seas turtles(I say 95% because they are not in enclosed areas they are free to go wherever, although i always see them everytime i go) We can also accomadate all types of travelers, even those who do not wish to snorkel. You can contact me and I can guide you on a fun adventurous day in Antigua suited to your desires.

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.
