I cannot say enough about our tour with Ted. His love and enthusiasm for Antigua is contagious. The whole island seems to know him - no matter where we were on the tour. He took us to Betty Hope’s, Devil’s Bridge, Nelson’s Dockyard and invited us to try local cuisine. The tour was incredible and we’d most certainly recommend Ted for anyone looking for an incredible tour of Antigua.
What a fantastic day we have just had. Ted was simply the best guide. Kind, funny, thoughtful and so knowledgeable. Would 100% tell anyone coming to Antigua to spend a few hours with Ted. His car is clean and comfy and his company was a joy Thanks Ted.
Ted gave us a wonderful tour through villages as well as showing us a beach frequented by the locals. He was greeted by many of the people in the villages and at roadside stalls. We found out why he is called Uncle Ted. He made several stops to show us plants and their traditional uses. He was very diligent about ensuring we were at the ship at our requested time. We highly recommend him for a cultural learning experience.
The tour and tour guide were perfect. He knew everything about the island. We drove everywhere. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met. A truly enjoyable experience and I recommend him highly.
