We stopped in Antigua on a cruise and had a lovely day exploring the island. Our guide Marvin was awesome - knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and made us feel like family. We saw Betty's Hope Plantation, Devil's Bridge, Shirley Heights (The Blockhouse and Lookout views), Nelson's Dockyard, and driving through various parts of the island. The local rum and black pineapple were delicious. It was a great way to see all of Antigua!! Communications by email were prompt and booking was semi smooth. We had a slight hiccup with a children's price and then ended up booking/paying the full tour amount instead of 50% deposit like the website says. No problem, just something to be aware of. We'd absolutely use Antigua VIP Tours again! ~ "Bethany - July 24, 2023"

Excellent way to see all of Antigua has to offer. Well planned and better executed, the reason Keisha !! She was fantastic, full of charm and knowledge. Definitely, she was the best part of the tour.
Highly recommend!! Ask for Keisha!!! ~ "Adrian - July 12, 2023"

Had a great day exploring the key sights of the island. We went from the dockyard to the forts, to viewpoints, to old sugar plantations, to a nice local restaurant, and on to some of the more rigid coastal areas. This really gives you an appreciation of what Antigua is about. Our guide was hugely informative and was a lot of fun to spend the day with! Whilst we saw many of the famous 365 beaches we didn’t really spend any time there which I was appreciative of as we were able to do that by ourselves on other days. All in all a very good way to spend the day! ~ "Andrew - September 22, 2022"

If you are wanting to experience what the Island of Antigua has to offer, Sean can take care of you. He’s so knowledgeable and has a great personality. No questions were unanswered, he knew them all. Fantastic day with a delicious local Caribbean restaurant for lunch. ~ "Angela - March 16, 2022"

We were picked up at our hotel and spent the day with Keisha and we got a real flavour of the island. Keisha explained lots about the way of living on the island which just brought the island to life. Visited all the stops on the tour with plenty of time and never felt rushed. Lunch was at Nelsons Dockyard and was a delicious BBQ chicken. We managed to cover the vast majority of the island in the 6 hours and the time flew by, as Keisha made it so enjoyable. We saw the centre of St Johns as well as the sightseeing spots and had the Antiguan Black Pineapple. So much better than a regular pineapple, much less acidic. Vehicle was comfortable and all Covid protocols
were in place. A great tour if you want to see as much as possible in one trip, highly recommended. ~ Keca - July 26, 2021

Spent the day with Sean exploring the beautiful island of Antigua! He was so great, social, personable, and will answer any questions you have! His number one priority is making you happy and will do anything to make it happen. I really wanted to see Half Moon Bay so despite being out of the way, he said no problem, let's go! You make the itinerary 100%. Drinks during the day and lunch are included, we stopped at a local place for lunch which was yummy! He even got us some black pineapple! He really went above and beyond to make the day memorable. And even took pictures for us! Totally worth the money and if/when coming back to Antigua would 100% use this tour company again. It's less money than doing a group tour and it's totally custom! Hands down you should book it! ~ "Heather Kleinberger - February 25, 2020"

Booked this tour in order to get an insight into this beautiful island whilst we were visiting on holiday. Sean collected us from our hotel on time we did a complete lap of the island visiting all the major sight including Bettys Hope, Shirley Heights, English Harbour and Nelson Dockyard the tour was relaxed and Sean’s knowledge of his homeland and the history gave us a great picture of life hear past and present. A great tour by an excellent guide. Thanks, Sean, it was a real pleasure to meet you and good to chat ~ "Gary Moon - February 18, 2020"

Sailing in on the Disney Wonder on 1/20/2020, we met Kiesha at the edge of the dock/gates with a sign---very easy!! We could not miss her and Sean in their bright pink shirts. I can not describe how much passion Kiesha has and the love she has for her island. She was so informative at all of our stops, and really immersed us into the heritage and history of this beautiful island. We hit all of the locations described- had an amazing local lunch where I can pretty much say she was in the kitchen assisting the chef. She even sang to us during the day, including the beautiful anthem of Antigua. This is the only way to experience Antigua-- I will definitely be coming back to this beautiful island.-- And the rum punch was an added perk! Thank you so much Kiesha- - WE LOVED YOU !!! ~ "Chuck - January, 2020"

While visiting in Dec. our party of 4 did the private VIP island tour and loved it. It was a great way to start our vacation on the island. Sean, our tour guide, was really great! He was fun, full of knowledge and really showed us an authentic version of the island. The transportation was very comfortable and we saw a great number of historic sights in a short amount of time. Would definitely recommend to any first timers on the island! Thanks again Sean! ~ "Shealey - December, 2019"

Had a lovely day with Kenny, our tour guide! Very informative and friendly. Took his time with us. He even took us to a winery that we wanted to try. Kenny went above and beyond. Highly recommend. ~ "Lillian & Tony Russo - December 3, 2019"

I had initially booked a semi-private tour, then changed it to a private tour. So glad I did. Sean and Kenny were great tour guides. They each had their own information and experiences about the island to share and are both very personable. My boyfriend and I were staying in Antigua for a week for his birthday. He loves to fly his drone wherever we travel, so I asked Sean in advance if he could find out the regulations/restrictions and if he could take us to some scenic locations. My boyfriend got some great footage, and we spent a few days the rest of the week doubling back to places that we saw throughout the tour. (Kenny even saw us on a the side of the road flying the drone when he was out leading another tour and stopped to say hello.) They also took us to lunch (which was included in the price of the tour) to a small authentic restaurant (Caribbean Taste) and the food was delicious. Initially my boyfriend was not too happy about the length of the tour.(Something he didn't mention until AFTER the fact, lol) He thought he would get bored, but he didn't and he loved it. We had a great time, and I got some cool points for booking such a nice tour. Thanks, Sean ("Shoes") and Kenny ("Tul")! When we send my boyfriend's mother on vacation to Antigua, we'll definitely be booking VIP Tours again. ~ Xiomara - November 2019

Our tour was a 5-hour excursion and simply wonderful. The tour guide was Keisha and was very polite and knowledgeable of the island. The transportation van was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful day of seeing and learning about the island. ~ "Bobby Sukie - November 2019"

This is our second time with a tour with Shawn! He is amazing and like family to us! He will take very good care of you and take you anywhere you would like to go! Our favorite spots are Half Moon Bay, Devils Bridge and Shirley Heights! Well worth the cost and we would never use anyone else! Thank you, Shawn, for an absolutely wonderful day we will never forget! ~ "Laura - October 2019"
