It doesn't get any better than that! We learned so much about Antigua and its people that day, gathered so many impressions and laughed so much with Ted. The man is a walking encyclopaedia and seems to know almost everyone on the island. We can only recommend everyone to book a tour with Ted and take away as many impressions of this wonderful island as possible.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you, Lars. It was indeed my pleasure to spend the day with you two, I trust that the fun memories of my island will prompt you to come again.

What a superb tour of Antigua on April 4th with Uncle Ted. During the six hour tour (he could have kept going), we learned so many things about the country including history, culture, the varied homeopathic plants for treatment of physical ailments, the delicious cuisine, and so many other facts and tidbits. I highly recommend his services for his broad knowledge of his country and also for the spacious and comfortable van he provided for our family of five. He also took wonderful pictures for us!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Becky: I wish we could have kept going for that day - my two young ambassadors were such great fun to be with. I am sure you already know, but your two beautiful daughters were the highlight, not forgetting Mom. Thanks for allowing me to offer you and the family a "superb tour." Uncle Ted, the Mayor

Uncle Ted (We would give him more than 5 Stars if the option was available). Wow what can we say about this tour, on first meeting Ted he had us all in stitches with his infectious sense of humour. He took us off the beaten track, & showed us things that are not on the tourists normal tours ie took us to the Sir Vivian Richards cricket stadium where the mum in law met the Prime Minister. Ted is a mind of knowledge when it came to medicines, souvenirs, from the local plants. Not enough room to put praise.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Katrina: It was a distinct honour to have met James and Dez, who has given invaluable service to the country. Mum, my star, it was a pleasure holding your hand and keeping you safe. I still registered the look on your face when you shook hands with my Prime Minister, and I was amazed at how you love the game of cricket. Kat, thanks for giving me the opportunity. What made the tour so special for me was to experience you in your light moments. What a fun group! Take a look at the photos/cannon.

Our tour with Ted was awesome - enjoyable & informative. Ted is an dedicated ambassador, a champion for Antiqua. He is held in high respect as evidenced by his interactions with the many islanders that we randomly met throughout the day. His work with youth is commendable. Ted's ability to readily develop rapport with others makes for a relaxing time - what a great asset to have as a tour guide! Our group of 6 agreed that our day of sightseeing & Antiqua experiences with Ted was the best ever!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Patricia: What an awesome day we had together. Certainly, it was my pleasure to spend the day with you all. Please give my regards to my co-pilot, who was the true ambassador—having such a fun group made my island come alive. Thanks again. Uncle Ted

Ted was very friendly and outgoing. He shared his considerable knowledge of traditional uses of local plants and trees. Ted is a professional photographer, and included a digital photo package with the tour at no extra cost. We were delighted to recieve emails with the picture files within 24 hours. He also drove through a disadvantaged area where he does charity work.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was indeed my privilege. There is so much to see in such a short time. I was happy that you got to sample our culture, our history while we had a great time together.

What a great experience we were given. We were able to see more of this beautiful Island than we could have on our own. All the special insights, knowledge, and memories that were created will live with us forever. Uncle Teddy was a delight and fun to have as our guide. Thanks again Uncle Teddy!!!!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Rob: Thanks for your review. I trust that the experience in Antigua creates lasting for you and your friends.

We had a wonderful day. Our guide made sure my senior mother was safe walking around downtown. His kind attention to her made my day easier. Lots to see and do. I would highly recommend him.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi, Elizabeth thank you so much. It was my pleasure taking care of Mom/Principal. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. I certainly enjoyed our chat. I too enjoy showing my Island. I hope you can return for a more extended stay. I trust the photos will bring lasting memories. Our Wish List: Hope to get our President Back. Come and Collect your Mega Yacht. All my friends are asking me who's that Lady's hand I was holding in St. John. I told them, my formal Principal. A BIG THANK YOU

Ted did an amazing job in giving me, my sister & cousin the FULL Cultural experience! From the initial walk around in main town to hitting all the historical spots for photo opp, nothing was missed! He made sure to get all samples of local food & Rastafarian food - Ital from a guy he noted as the best! He even managed to get a motor boat from Nelson's dockyard to give a quick view of the Pillars of Hercules up close from the water! Truly a great 5 hours and Ted made every cent count! Highly recommend Ted!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Helen An, It was indeed my pleasure to spend the day with you your sister & cousin I was happy that you got to sample our culture, our history while we had a great time together. I trust that the photos will bring back fun memories. Once again, thanks for choosing. Authentic Antigua as your tour of choice. Ted

The tour with Ted was such a fun day of beautiful scenery and historical stories of Antigua. We highly recommend Ted for the tour. He is a great tour guide as well as an extremely pleasant person to get to know. The rasta food among other food that we shared & experienced along the way as well as his photos he took of us will make this memory last a lifetime!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Danny: It was indeed my pleasure. Thanks for booking with Authentic Antigua and I hope to see you in Antigua, perhaps when our President is back in the office. We will celebrate. It was truly a fun day with you guys. Take Care Ted

He was great at getting us to see a lot of the Island in a short amount of time. There were lots of personal touches to this tour that made the day special to us. He was very good with my mother who has mobility issues. He explained a lot about the plants and the way of life. He covered everything I said I wanted to get to including ending with a little time at a beach. I would tour with him again.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Elanor: Nice hearing from you . It was indeed my pleasure showing you my beautiful island. To you and your family many thanks for the opportunity to be your chosen guide. I hope we will meet again. Please give my regards to your Mom.

We do a lot of traveling and have been on many tours with many tour guides. Ted is hands down, the best guide we have ever toured with, a 10 on a scale of 1-5! We felt like we were traveling with another family member. The tour itself was very good and Ted made it even better with his wealth of knowledge and willingness to share of it. We were sad to see the tour end. We would obviously, recommend this tour, and especially Ted, very highly. Thank you,

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hi Dawn. I am happy that I met your expectation. Thanks for the rating. I had so much fun with you and the family. I hope that you are taking good care of my VIP and my Ambassador. Trust that we will meet again some day. Ted

Exceptional tour and wonderful guide. Ted was charming and knowledgeable, clearly very proud of his island and all the wonderful sights it offers. We wanted the tour a local would give visiting relatives to learn all that makes Antigua special. We got that tour with Ted. We cannot give him any higher rating. Would recommend him to everyone!!!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It was indeed my privilege. There is so much to see in such a short time. I was happy that you got to sample our culture, our history while we had great time together.
