What to do and see in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

September 22, 2021 Major Galusha

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.

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.

We were told by the shore excursion desk on Royal Caribbean that you could purchase lunch at this beach and that there was shopping. There was no food for purchase, only alcohol. There was no shopping. Only a lot of people! We took a taxi back to the ship.

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. He helped make my first time in Antigua a memorable one and I hope I see him again if I come back. I was so happy I invested in this tour and its a must do!
