        Orange valley tour
        The tour was very fun and informative! The tour guides were engaging and easy to get along with. The bikes were in great shape. The orange valley tour takes you to several breathtaking Antiguan beaches and then to a farm area where they discuss the local agriculture. The farm grows a lot of different fruits and veggies. They then take you on a hike and while it is uphill straight, it takes you to overlook the beautiful coastline for spectacular views. Highly recommend!

        Great Ride! Great Experience!
        The tour was excellent. It was a great way to see the island outside of our Sandals resort. Riding the E-bike allowed me to work as much as I wanted. The pedal assist was needed in some spots. The guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the island. Transport to and from the resort was great too as I was provided the opportunity to see even more of the island. It was a great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend.

        A great way to get to know this amazing island
        While staying at Sandals Grande Antigua I looked for an opportunity to do some pedaling and found BestoEPV’s E-bike tours on the approved list of Sandals affiliated off-resort excursions. I enthusiastically signed up my wife and me for an off-resort E-Bike tour (there was no option for a conventional bicycle tour, so I figured e-bikes were the next best thing). Our driver fetched us around 8:45 on the morning of the tour (she was a half hour late) and we arrived at a beach on the southern side of the island at about 9:15 where we met Jay, our main tour guide and the tour company owner, and his able assistant Akela. As Jay matched us each with a fat-tired E-bike I have to say that I was a little concerned about the apparent lack of conventional bicycle maintenance, what with the rusty chains, the drive trains being stuck in the highest gears, making it impossible to peddle from a standstill or up a decent incline without electrical assistance, and the fact that my bike’s battery died five minutes into the trip. (Jay offered me his bike to use but the quick release on his seat post wouldn’t hold the seat in place, so Akela gave me her bike, she took Jay’s, and Jay rode mine without power until he was able to raise the truck driver on radio to come and deliver a working bike.) Meanwhile, as I let go of my prior expectations, I began to enjoy the frequent stops and extensive information delivered by each of our guides. We traversed beaches with the morning tide lapping at our tires, half paved roads with muddy water filled potholes that could swallow a mini cooper, and meadow trails whose magma-formed irregular surfaces made for jarring and rattling ascents and descents. We learned about the local flora and fauna, sampled fruity drinks and drinkable fruits that tasted like the tropics incarnate (local raspberry, sour sop, guava, & coconut), and got poured on periodically as rain clouds passed over us. Knowing that we’re avid cyclists, our guides went out of their way to take the extra time and lead us up a more challenging trail for some beautiful vistas and unique plant life. They also led a quick hike for my wife, a seasoned hiker, up to a beautiful view of the sea before we hopped on the bikes again to cycle back to where we had started from about two and a half hours earlier. It wasn’t just the fascinating information our capable guides imparted that made this tour so special, but also their obvious pride in their home and the people, plants, and animals that inhabit it with them. They were passionate advocates for this beautiful island paradise, and my wife and I considered ourselves lucky to have seen Antigua through their eyes.

        Not recommended
        Despite the good intent of the guide, the tour only lasted 5km’s (instead of the promised 2h30). There was one mountainbike short and a bike that had a flat tire from the start. Not worth its money at all!

      Our tour was arranged via Sandals and for some reason it ended up that only my wife and I showed. It worked out great! The two of us had the benefit of the company of 3 knowledgeable and friendly guides to ourselves. The tour took us through the local landscape out to Fort James. Along the way, we gained insights into the life, culture and history of Antigua and its inhabitants and we came back with a greater appreciation for both the country and people. We highly recommend anyone visiting this island with idyllic resorts to “step outside” with these fine guides to learn more and enjoy the views along the way.

      The guides, Patrea and Miguel, were great. They were very friendly and made sure we were comfortable the entire ride. They took us to cool spots where we were able to take some great photos. Pat made some local fruit juice that we loved. The bikes were new and easy to use. Very clean. I would definitely recommend this activity to people looking to get out and explore a part of St John’s on bikes.

      Had a terrific experience. First time on
      E-bikes and our guides were great instructors, safety conscious and lots of fun. They took us on main roads and back roads and shared interesting cultural and historic information. The time flew by.

      The e-bikes were fun, but the resort charged us $200 for 2 of us for an hour and a half bike ride. Our guide took us to a mangrove and a couple historical sites which were cool to see. But we couldn’t hear here when she was trying to talk to us on the bike ride and she took a good chunk of time of the ride to tell us about her 21st birthday party. I think I would still have done this if it was like $50 but $200 was a lot for the little we got out of it.

      Thank you for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed the bikes and the sites which were included on the ride. We put a lot into making sure that these are interesting, informative and well received. We are sorry that you were not aware of the length of the tour however this and what to expect are always clearly advertised. We are also sorry that you could not hear the guide during the ride; perhaps the mic volume should have been increased. We are sorry that we could not meet your expectations and hope that we can make it up to you someday.

      Excellent tour with super friendly guides Randy and Delano on top-notch e-bikes. Proper view of the real Antigua including bird life and our sunset pictures give us great memories. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting to you both during trip. (Sorry for clogging up the tyres /mudguards with the clay, but my wife says it was worth the detour on a dirt track!).

      I initially was skeptical about this excursion, as me and my husband prefer more adventure style day trips and the description of this tour on Sandals website made it seem like this was just a history tour. It was so much more than this, lots of scenic places to take pictures from and our guide was incredible, very knowledgeable and funny. The bikes are incredibly easy to use and I have trouble riding a regular bike without falling off. Would definitely recommend this experience!

      Pat and Miguel were awesome. We had a super fun trip. There's a few stops on this trip and they'll tell you a lot about the island and touched on some important things relating to the Antigua eco-system. They answered any questions we had about the island along the way. It turned out to be a very eventful trip due to the rain, but hey we didn't care. Good people and good times. The bikes were new and easy to ride. We'd even consider doing it a second time just to hang out with Pat and Miguel.

      This was an amazing tour. It was all for my husband, Boise but I enjoyed it as well. The guys provided the best customer service. They made sure to have an E-bike that I was comfortable on. They were very patient while I figured things out. They watched traffic and gave direction. The historical information was amazing and the sunset was beautiful! Roy picked us up and provided great information to and from. Drey and the gentleman from New York( sorry can’t think of your name) All did an amazing job. Anyone going to Antigua must do one of the E-bike tours.

      TLDR: this tour is one of the best we have had. Amazing, highly trust worthy, worth the time and effort!

      We did the evening sunset tour to St James with Akilla, Shaquille and J. They were so kind and professional. Our group had one couple with e-bike experience and one couple who had hardly ridden much at all. They took the time to make sure everyone could ride their bikes well and understood the controls.

      The guides took photos and videos that they shared with us and chatted along the way. We learned lots of interesting things about the beaches, animals, plants and St James on the tour. We much preferred this to the car tour we had previously taken.

      We rode about 6.5 miles total. The great part about the e-bikes is that you can decide how hard you want to work. There was only one hill we had ride up each way and the highest level of the e-bikes handled it with ease. The oldest member of our group was in their 60’s and they handled it without a struggle.

      The one thing I would have done differently is remembered to apply bug spray. Near sunset the mosquitos came out and I am particularly allergic to them . They had not been bothering me much at the resort (where I’m sure they are spraying for them or treating irrigation water) but outside the resort at sunset was definitely an opportunity to get bit.

      All in all 5 stars (out of 5!) - if you’re considering going on this trip at all, you definitely should!
