 Hubby, Son & guide Sean John by mazzap
In Antigua, we were soon approached by Sean John - a local minister & family man with his own taxi! He was a lovely friendly man & kept us well informed throughout our trip. He knew the island inside out & took us on a whistle-stop tour cramming in as much of the island in a day as is possible! He knew we wanted to spend some time on a nice beach & left us there relaxing while he went off to collect his daughter from school!
All based on trust - he returns to us at a given time & ensures we are back to the ship for the specified departure time, & we pay him accordingly at the end of the day! Thank you Sean John for a great day! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 One of Antigua's many coves by fitbod
If you wish to go to a beach, let them know. They will drop you off and pick you up again when you ask them to....honestly. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

If you like adventure, rent a car . . . Otherwise, beware, roads are extremely narrow and you drive on the opposite side of American roads as the island is British . . . Look out for those goats . . . Mr. Graham was our driver while we were there . . . Ask for him by name at the Siboney Beach Club Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Taxis are an excellent option for touring. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Mini buses transport you from the airport -no problems at all.
Suggest the taxis, cheap, reliable (from your hotel or apartment is best!) They even wait for you, without charge sometimes. Also they recommend places of interest. So friendly. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Taxi service.We were quite scared on the scooters with the local drivers (and you are on the left side of the road),the taxi drivers a quite nice -yet very aggressive drivers, you are safer being on the inside of one... and you can negotiate fares -there is no meter. Farm animals were among the roads with no fences, seemed weird. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle

We have gone there several ways and you just have to figure that it will take most of a day from the States. Our best trip from Chicago was up to Canada-Toronto and then directly into Antigua. we have also used Liat from San Juan and had no problem regardless of the comments made about this island airline.
We have been there many times and we find that the driving on the opposite side of the road requires some getting used to and the rentals are expensive. You can arrange to use the services of a cab driver for the week for about the same price as a car and they know where they are going. When we first went, there were no road signs and lots of potholes. There are more signs and less potholes but it is still confusing to get around at night. We also have become friends with the driver who is assigned to Trafalgar-we recently met another couple who had been there and they raved about the place, the island and Charles the wonderful cab driver. We call down before we go and ask him to pick us up at the airport. He stops by the grocery store with us and we're set for the first day to go out and have fun! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

We flew on US Airways & they were wonderful! We had to fly to Philadelphia from Raleigh (strange), but then it was a direct flight to Antigua. Then we had to stay over in Philly on Saturday night though b/c there were no late flights from Philly to RDU.
We rented a car & it was fine. However you *must* know how to read a map. No road signs, every village looks the same. Even the people who live there don't know the names of the roads, but they are very helpful. The steering wheel is on the left side of the car & you drive on the left, but it didn't take long to adjust. Theme: Other

Look on auction sites for really good value fares and package holidays.
The local busses are quite regular and come in the form of transits with seats. You can get these all over the island except on sunday's, when the church services are running and sometimes for the rest of the day. Taxi's are quite cheap and some of these run on Sunday's, you can also pre-order them. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
