Even though I have had to cancel this small group tour that I put together with other passengers on our planned cruise, I still want to put a review out there for Sean and Kamesha at VIP tours. They have been excellent to communicate with and so responsive. I am definitely going to be contacting them again in the future when we are able to visit Antigua. So many people on the cruise were cautious about booking private tours, but they made it so easy and refunded my deposit immediately when I had to cancel. Hope to see you in the future VIP!

We took the full day tour with Sean during our cruise stop in Antigua. We had some difficulty figuring out exactly where we were to wait for Sean as there was no sign or obvious place to wait. Tour guides from other companies helped us figure this out and once we connected with Sean we had a wonderful day. We did not book a private tour but it turned out that we had one when the other couple did not show up. Sean was very personable and also so very knowledgeable about and proud of his homeland. He gave us a great history lesson about the country and its independence from Britain. They still drive on the "wrong" side of the road there so that took some getting used to. We hit almost all of the sites we were interested in but due to oppressive traffic jams and a brief afternoon rain, we missed the last two stops, the tropical farm and black pineapple tasting. We were very impressed by Shirley's lookout. The jerk chicken lunch that was included in the price of our tour was really good and we were able to do a little shopping at the tables people had set up out on the patio.We also found Betty's Hope Plantation very interesting. It brought home the reality of the European explorers who "found" these islands and then enslaved both the natives living there and those they brought from Africa. So shameful! I can't imagine a full day tour of the island that would be better than this one. It cost less than the tour offered by the cruise line and was much more inclusive. Take this tour. You won't be sorry.

We just returned from a fantastic day with Alvin, our guide from VIP. He’s an encyclopedia of knowledge about the island and cultures of the Caribbean, and he kept us totally engaged throughout the tour. It was well paced and covered the whole island, including a stop for a terrific traditional Antiguan meal. Highly recommended!

First and foremost, meeting Alvin, is something my husband and I won't soon forget. The incredible knowledge of his island's history, his desire to ensure you have a great experience, and the sheer depth and positivity of his spirit are what made this tour absolutely perfectly. We are better people for having had this opportunity to meet him and to the owners of this company, you are truly blessed to have this man. No other tour could live up to this experience, and days later, I am still telling friends and coworkers about this experience. Send our love to Alvin please! We will be back some day soon! As for the tour itself, it was just phenomenal. We loved the variety of history, sight-seeing, driving through the many villages on the island, taking in the breathtaking views, and ending the day at a picture perfect beach. Alvin also has a wonderful voice and we were lucky enough to end our tour with him singing for us. We highly recommend this experience and don't forget to show your Antiguan smile!
