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.

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.

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.

Inclusions: Use of Snorkelling equipment, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: $15.00US admission covers both Shirley's Heights, and Nelson's Dockyard

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!

Booked the above personal tour of the island and boy did we see the sights with our amazing tour guide and driver Thierry. From Devils Bridge to English Harbour and the amazing beaches on the tropical side island. We had a lovely lunch at the Roadhouse and as it was my birthday the lovely staff brought out a slice of cake with a candle in singing Happy Birthday. We stopped at Clemies a fresh fruit stall and had a tasty selection of tropical fruit to enjoy. Thierry was a great guide telling us about the places we visited aswell as sharing what day to day life for Antiguans is like so really got to experience for a brief time island life.

Hello! Just wanted to reach out on the amazing time my wife and I had on our Safari cruise today! Our tour guide was Shouwyn Francis (A.K.A FLAVA) and he did an amazing job! Really kept the vibe going great throughout the whole drive, took us to some very nice stops and views and never rushed us to get back in. Provided us with a very delicious lunch and drinks! Also, gave us very interesting facts about Antigua and also gave us insight on the meaning of the flag colors. Shouwyn is a very funny and patient man and would recommend him to anyone that would want a tour of the island! He looks out to make sure everyone his having a good time! Definitely deserves a 5 star. Thank you for your services and showing us around the beautiful island of Antigua!
