Hi! My name is Kathy and I am an American, now retired in Antigua. I love living on a tropical island, and especially one that has little or no corruption! I am a retired counselor/teacher and have worked in the U. S. , Malawi, Zambia, South Korea, and the Dominican Republic. However, my first love is travelling and going on adventures, and that is why I joined ToursByLocals! I have visited 39 countries, and Antigua is one of the best! Since I have travelled a lot and worked as a tour guide the past 4 years in the Dominican Republic , I know what tourists like and what makes a good tour. It all depends on the preferences of the visitors, and this is my specialty. . . I am very experienced in designing customized tours. I have developed tours for visitors in all the countries I have lived in, and love meeting new people, learning about new cultures and providing a service to make sure the clients have a safe and enjoyable experience. I am a friendly, outgoing, fun-loving, adventurous, organized, but flexible and resourceful person, my clients and friends always comment on how calm I am in crazy traffic, unpredictable circumstances and problem situations. . . I think living in Africa for 20 years helped with that! I have been to many amazing places in Antigua and would love to show you them; from pristine beaches, beautiful swimming pools, great food and water sports to natural beaches with crystal clear blue waters and mountainous areas with hiking and beautiful scenery. Kayaking and snorkeling are especially fun here. I have been a tour guide in many different countries. None

Explore Devil's Bridge a fantastic rock formation on the coast. There are several legends about the use of the bridge during slavery. Shirley Heights in one the tallest hills in Antigua and can be hiked up and/or down on the Jones Trail. Driving both ways is a popular option too! It has glorious views of English Harbor. At the top there is an Interpretive Center that explains the history of Barbuda and fort ruins. Also, if interested in more history, we can go to Nelson's Dockyard. At Nelson's Dockyard there is a museum of the Royal Navy ships and Royal Navy historic buildings. There is also a boat taxi that can take us on a tour of English Harbor and Pillars of Hercules. Galleon Beach is famous for it's snorkeling off the beach to see a shipwreck! Also, you can lounge in the sun, swim or snorkel from the shore. Lunch can be overlooking the harbor and beach at the upscale Loose Canyon or if you want a more local restaurant, Zelma's Kitchen overlooking Fulmouth Harbor and its many yachts.
Kathleen provided us with a great photo tour of Antigua. She was patient and creative in accommodating our wheelchair and walking limitations. She provided plenty of interesting insights into the local culture, and we enjoyed sharing stories of our worldwide adventures.
Kathy was very nice and showed us everything we needed to know as described on the tour description. We wanted to see the Cathedral in Antigua but couldn't figure out how to get in.? She took us to a nice restaurant for lunch and back to the ship on time...
Great time with Kathleen exploring the beautiful island!
Kathleen was very knowledgeable about the island and showed us so much. Areas we had requested and other sites we wouldn't have known about had she not pointed us in the right direction. Highly recommend
We did a day tour with Kathleen. She was awesome and delightful guide. We really enjoyed the personalized tour. Whatever we wanted to do she did ! Even looked for 2six8 beer ( island microbrewery) all around (-: thanks also to Edith also the driver.
We had a wonderful tour with Kathy! She provided safe and reliable transport, and her choices of sites to visit were perfect for us. Kathy has lived all over the world, so she has great stories from her travels, in addition to her knowledge of Antigua. We plan to keep in touch, as we became fast friends in the day we spent together. Kathy tailored our tour beautifully to our exact interests, and was very helpful throughout the planning process. We highly recommend her for your tour of Antigua!
