He clearly knows so much about the island but also adapted his commentary after he picked up a few bits I was interested in. Great way to see some of the main sights on the island - particularly Shirley Heights, stunning!

Easy to book and driver Dale was great tour guide and offered a personable experience. Recommend bookingThis tour was the highlight of my Antigua trip. I really enjoyed the personable interaction with tour guide Gregory, from National Tours and Services. Devil’s Bridge was a standout for me, since it was really emotional thinking about the African slaves that jumped to their death to escape slavery.

While the tour of Antigua was excellent and comprehensive and the guide, Lloyd, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, I am only giving it 2 stars because of the deception involved. I had booked the tour on Tripadvisor and paid in full. After we were already underway, Lloyd informed me he had canceled the tour through Tripadvisor and would need me to pay in cash at the end of the day. He stated this was done due to issues of fees and payments, but this created an enormous inconvenience for us at the end of the trip. Had he been forthcoming and let us know the night before the tour, we would have been prepared to pay him, but instead, we had to go to an ATM after a full day of touring to pay for the tour. If you are considering booking this tour, I recommend contacting Lloyd first, and inquiring about the payment arrangement.
Customer service is outstanding, but the tour is mainly driving, not too much to look at in terms of island history. It might be not for everyone.
