Born and raised in this tiny island of St. Johns, Antigua. I am a friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and excited lady who is very much in love with this beautiful Island and so enjoy showing it off by giving a very educational, historical and exciting tour of the island. With more than 15 years of experience in the tourism industry, I am a licensed taxi driver and tour guide who enjoys meeting people, sharing lots of fun and laughter. I have conducted many island and beaches tours so a day with me around the island is an experience you will never forget. To crown it all is the sampling of our national fruit, the Antigua Black Pineapple which is the world's sweetest pineapple. Come, discover the history, and culture of our National Parks; Shirley's Heights lookout with the most amazing view you would have ever seen. The Nelson's Dockyard, The Rain Forest, Devils Bridge and much more. And not forgetting the beaches. . . . "365 beautiful white sandy beaches", with me, Emelda, your very own personal tour guide and driver. Remember "THE SMILE, SUN, SEA and SAND IS JUST THE BEGINNING". I am a licensed Taxi Driver and Tour Guide and have been working in the Tourism Industry for more than 15 years. Service Ambassador - Trained at the Antigua and Barbuda Hospital Training Institute.

Overview of your Saint Johns tour

This 5-hour private excursion covers cultural, historical, and natural sites across Antigua. The route starts in St. John's with stops at the Farmers Market to view local produce and vendor stalls, followed by a drive past the Old Anglican Cathedral. The tour continues to the eastern coast to visit Betty's Hope Sugar Plantation and the coastal geological formations at Devil's Bridge National Park. Next, the route passes through Antigua's inland tropical rainforest, with a stop to taste local Antigua Black Pineapple (when in season) and view historic sites like St. Barnabas Church. Then a stop at one of the 365 beautiful white sandy beaches. The day concludes at one of Antigua's white sand beaches before the return drive to the St. John's Cruise Terminal. Private transportation is scheduled to match cruise port arrival and departure times. I promise you a great time.
