We saw everything we wanted to see and more. there were a guide and a driver,so the guide could concentrate on us( we were a group of six)Antigua ,being an UNESCO heritage site still retained its colonial characteristics.One of them was the road paved with cobbled stones,which made the ride very uncomfortable.We had lunch in a local cafe. Food was good but no WIFI.WE enjoyed the trip. Even the front desk staff was nice, Bryon helped us a lot when NCL unexpected changed the date for the Antigua visit.

This tour day was enjoyable from start to finish! Our guide, Eduardo, was waiting at the port with our name on a sign, so he was easy to find. Second, the vehicle was clean and comfortable with blasting AC. Third, our driver, Marlon, always made us feel safe and secure, despite difficult roads and a motorcyclist with a death wish. Lastly, Eduardo was a really good guide. He took us to all the top sites and helped us see the details that explain so much about the Mayan culture and local history. He also introduced us to an excellent local restaurant and recommended a delicious local dish (pepian). For less than the price of a ship’s tour, we had an in depth tour tailored to our interests. We were well cared for throughout the tour. I highly recommend GT business & travel, and Eduardo (guide) and Marlon (driver). A first class team.
