The bridge offers breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the crashing waves below. Visitors can explore the surrounding area, which includes blowholes that shoot water into the air during high tide, creating a spectacular display. The site also has historical significance, as it is linked to local folklore and the tragic history of enslaved Africans who, according to legend, leaped from the bridge to escape the hardships of slavery. The natural beauty, combined with its cultural and historical context, makes Devil's Bridge a unique and poignant destination in Antigua.

Janel is a knowledgeable guide of Antigua, she really loves her island and it shows how much passion she has when showing us around. I highly recommend booking her ahead of time when going there because there is only one like her! Wish you the best Janel!
We had the most incredible 6+ hour tour exploring the whole island of Antigua with Exquisite Taxi & Tours, and honestly, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment Janel picked us up, the experience was incredibly special. It was my mum’s birthday, and Janel had gone above and beyond by decorating the taxi with beautiful birthday balloons. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel extra special. We were also greeted with bottled water and refreshments when we arrived, which was a lovely welcome. The taxi itself was so comfortable and the sliding doors felt like luxury. The tour itself was phenomenal. Over the course of more than six hours, we travelled around the island and visited Nelson’s Dockyard, Betty’s Hope, Devil’s Bridge and Pigeon’s Point, and so much more! We saw so many different parts of Antigua and learned so much about the island’s history, culture and people along the way. The knowledge shared throughout the day was incredible, and we were genuinely fascinated by everything we learned. We spent an hour on the beach of Pigeon’s Point which was so delightful and a beautiful beach. One of our favourite parts was stopping along the way to sample local produce, including delicious Antiguan mangoes and starfruit. It made the experience feel so authentic and gave us a real taste of the island. Janel was so friendly, warm and knowledgeable, and the whole journey was incredibly smooth and relaxed. What we particularly loved was how the tour was tailored around what we wanted to see and do, rather than feeling rushed or like we were simply following a set itinerary. And then, to finish the day, we headed to Shirley Heights to watch the most breathtaking sunset. 🌅 It was the perfect ending to an already amazing day. Janel even prepared delicious food and rum punch for us to enjoy while taking in the spectacular views. Sitting there, looking out over Antigua as the sun went down, was genuinely unforgettable. ❤️ From start to finish, everything was exceptional - the organisation, the hospitality, the knowledge, the personal touches and, most importantly, the people. We even got pictures and a personalised video sent to us to end our day! If you’re visiting Antigua and want to see the whole island in one incredible day, learn about its history and experience it with people who genuinely care about making your day special, we would absolutely recommend Exquisite Taxi & Tours. Thank you so much, Janel, for making my mum’s birthday and our day in Antigua so incredibly memorable. We will never forget it! 🇦🇬❤️🌴 5 stars really don’t feel enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Janel, was the greatest tour guide, full of enthusiasm for her home island, real knowledge and passion. Great sense of humour, kind and interesting. Top tour, would definately recommend! Highlight of our holiday!
Amazing experience! Janelle is great! Communication was excellent from the start. She met us right outside the cruise port and then took us off on our adventure. She was great w historical and local info about the island and even stopped to get some some local fruit. She accommodated our requests as we asked that we spend more time on the beach and she delivered! The beach was beautiful. Definitely recommend. We traveled w our older parents and 7 year old son and she was very patient. Great experience!
The Equisite tour was very informative and enjoyable. We visited quite a few of Antigua's tourists attractions. The guide was friendly, and made our trip fun and comfortable.
When you come to Antiqua please make sure you book this tour. Janel is wonderful. Her spirit and personality is top notch. She throughly explains to you about the history and the culture of the island and all its wonderment. If you want to learn about the island I highly recommend this tour.
I rate 5 out of 5! She was amazing !
We used Exquisite Taxi and Tours for a private tour of the Antigua. Janel was our guide and was incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for her. You could tell that she was passionate about Antigua and showing off its beauty. From face/hand towels, to cake and exquisite rum punch (Janel’s secret recipe) we felt spoilt and truly taken care of. We saw everything possible in Antigua and it really is the most beautiful island. We would highly recommend Janel and Exquisite tours to anyone and will definitely be using them again in the future when we return. Thanks, Janel, for not just being a guide but becoming a true friend!
Janet was our tour guide when we got off our Virgin Voyages cruise in St. John’s, Antigua. Myself and four friends wanted to explore the island, and from the start, her calm approach made us feel completely comfortable. We felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely welcomed by Janet. In just a 4-hour tour, she showed us so much of the island. Her personality was amazing — it honestly felt like we’d known her for years. One of the fun surprises was when she took us to a Jamaican restaurant… yes, in Antigua lol! If you’re visiting Antigua, I highly recommend trying to get Janet as your guide. She made my Antigua experience the highlight of the five islands we visited during the cruise. I’ll definitely be going back to Antigua soon, and I’ll absolutely be booking Janet again.
We were recommended this company by our cousin who had used them the year before. It was just the 2 of us and we booked a whole day tour. We didn’t really have any fixed ideas about where we wanted to go and so we let Janel suggest the itinerary. It was a good day out and we got to visit all the major sights and stops of interest in Antigua. Janel had bought some black pineapple with her for us to try and also a few beers for us to have on the way! She was lovely, very friendly and with a good sense of humour. She knew all the history and also local information. She was easy to talk to and a safe driver. We would definitely recommend Exquisite ⭐️⭐️
This was a great tour. Very informative and fun. I would highly recommend if you want to do a tour of the island with a great guide and see many sights.
My friends and I booked a whole day tour with Janel We had a great day Janel is very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Shirley Heights was definitely the highlight of the day.
Book your trip with Exquisite Taxi. We had a fabulous private island tour with Wall visiting English Harbour, Shirley Heights and some of islands incredible beaches. They will tailor your day to your desired interests and are extremely accommodating!! Janel was amazing to schedule our tour on a very last minute request. Thank you again for such a lovely day! We can’t wait to spend the day with you again soon! Thank you for everything. Highly recommend Exquisite Taxi and Tours!!
Janel is the best ! Perfectly matched what we wanted. Stingray City, Dickenson Bay, tour in between and Roti King ! Would highly recommend when visiting Antigua.
My entire experience with Janel was amazing. From the first contact with her, she was very knowledgeable about all the excursions and pricing. Her overall price is fair. She organized tours in Antigua and Barbuda for me. Janel is jovial, funny, and honest. She was very helpful in assisting me with finding delicious food on the island. Janel provided me with a once in a lifetime experience to learn the culture and history of Antigua. I would recommend Janel to anyone. She is a great tour guide that has integrity. Book with Janel and you won’t regret the experience she cultivates for you.
Wow! Janelle was phenomenal and we had such a great day on the beautiful island of Antigua. She curated an incredible day trip to beautiful viewpoints, AND to local vendors for fresh fruit/produce, and put in the extra touches to make the day feel fun and comfortable (had towels for the seats after swimming; endless rum punch/juice & cakes) She was also very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny-we laughed the whole trip. By far this was our favorite excursion of the entire trip and we’re so lucky to have met Janelle and had what felt like a very private tour in a comfy air conditioned van. 10/10 on Exquisite Tours with Janelle.
The island tour with Janel was amazing!!! We have tired with her 3 times. We went so many places and learned all about the culture. Shirleys pointe, Devil point, and learned a lot of the island history. Contact Janel Baird she is smart, reliable, and dependable.
Thank you Janelle for the amazing day! We enjoyed this tour so much and learnt a lot about this beautiful island! We got to see all the most famous and historic sites! Janelle was really flexible about what we wanted to do and see! Loved it and 100% recommend!!
Had an informative and nice day with our guide Wahl. Saw the sights of the island and made some great stops. The Devils Bridge was awesome.
We booked Exquisite with Janel for our airport transfers and a day tour around the island. Not only was she the best price, she was very knowledgeable on explaining the history of the island. She also kept in contact since our flight was late upon pick up. She greeted us with a generous smile and a big hug! Her personality is charismatic and she’s very outgoing! During our tour, we had a great day. She was filling us up with some rum punch and we made occasional stops to explain all the different types of trees and fruits on the island. The tour was very informative and fun! She took us to all the historical landmarks. We even stopped for lunch at a stadium and the food was fantastic. She was also very kind to take several photos of us. She was very prompt for Airport transfers, and like I mentioned before, the best prices! Thank you Janel! We will definitely book with your company for future visits 🩷
Our tour with Janel was a highlight of our honeymoon to Antigua. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and interactive. She made us laugh and introduced us to native fruits and local history. Provided transportation was comfortable and included refreshments! We highly recommend Janel and Exquisite Taxi & Tours if you're looking for an enjoyable day tour of the island. She's very accommodating with everything and will customize your tour.
We loved our tour with Exquisite Tours. Janel took us everywhere we wanted to visit and was extremely knowledgeable about the island. It was a pleasure spending the day with Janel.
My family and I had a wonderful time exploring Antigua with Janel as our guide. From the moment she introduced herself and took the time to learn all of our names, it felt like we were being shown around by a friend rather than a tour guide. She has such a friendly, bubbly personality and was incredibly easy to talk to. Janel was extremely knowledgeable about Antigua’s history and culture — she answered every question my very inquisitive father threw at her with patience and clarity! She was also really funny, which kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable throughout the day. You can tell Janel is hardworking and passionate about what she does. She made sure we were all comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. Her taxi was clean and well-maintained, with great air conditioning, and she even had cold water and some tasty juice ready for us. The only (very minor) downside was that some of the roads were a little bumpy — but that’s just part of the island experience, and it certainly didn’t take away from how amazing the tour was. All in all, an excellent experience. We love that we got to support a woman entrepreneur who’s truly doing a fantastic job. Would absolutely book with her again!
I was on the island to celebrate my 45th birthday and found this taxi service on a Facebook group that I joined, and I am certainly glad that did! Janel was consistent, friendly, knowledgeable and always on-time. She went above and beyond to exceed my expectation when my traveling companion forgot her water bottle and I needed her to run to the store for me. It was an absolute joy to ride with her, and I am fully confident offering anyone her services on my referral. — 10 out of 10. Would recommend!!
Thanks to Janel, we also visited places on the island that are usually not as frequently visited, which gave us a deeper cultural insight and allowed us to get to know the island better. The price was absolutely fair compared to other offers, especially since we had a private tour. Janel is highly recommended as a tour guide – a fantastic person with excellent offerings!
Janel was a fantastic tour and guide, she showed to me and my family the island and the most iconic places and landscapes, very knowledgeable and professional, and most importantly, kept our family safe. Kudus to her.
Janel provided a very nice full island tour. She showed us the local attractions as well as the lovely ocean views. She made sure we experienced it all. She was knowledgeable and told us what local trees and plants we were seeing as well. We enjoyed the trip as well as Janel's bubbly personality.
Genel was an excellent guide and made the outing very enjoyable. Saw many sights in Antigua and even had beach time. Highly recommended. Be sure to walk out to the Levi store (not in it) for pickup
We had a great day. Janel showed us the whole island and told us a lot about the history of the island. It was very impressive. She also let us taste a lot of local food and drinks, which was very nice and tasty. Janel is a sweet, friendly lady and if you are looking for a taxi driver, we highly recommend her.
Janel was the most amazing tour guide we have ever had - even if she did get my husband hooked on chewing sugar cane 😂😂😂 Seriously you won't find a better tour guide. We had to be back on the ship for 2pm so she tailored the tour to make sure we saw all the best bits of Antigua. We laughed the whole time. Thank you Janel from your mad Welsh customers.
Janel was fantastic and so knowledgeable about all aspects of Antigua. We especially enjoyed learning about the medicinal uses of so many plants on the island. We highly recommend hiring her for your thorough and entertaining experience while in Antigua!
We came to St Kitts on a cruise and ran into Janel Baird by chance. We were looking for a tour of the island and Janel delivered. She took us to all the important sights and then to a beautiful beach for a couple hours. We thoroughly Enjoyed our time with her as she was so knowledgeable and friendly and we just loved her ! You must get Janel to show you around when you come to Antigua as she is the best
OMG!!!! Janel was freaking AMAZING! I randomly booked Exquisite Taxi and Tours for a transfer to Dickinson Bay. Her knowledge and infectious laughter was an added bonus! We ended up hiring her for the entire week! Honestly, it will be your loss if you do not book with her!
We had the pleasure of taking part in the tour around the island by Janel. It was a great experience. We enjoyed the tour and her driving. It is the highlight of our visit to the island. We would highly recommend her tour to anyone visiting the island.
The most memorable time was our friendly down to earth guide, Ms. Janel. She let us alter the tour to meet my daughters request to see the donkey sanctuary. I highly recommend this tour. We were able to try fruits and see the trees they are grown on. We ended our tour with a beautiful beach, swim and lunch which she prepared for us. I will use her again in the future. The van was extremely comfortable and easy to get in and out of for touring.
Our encounter with Janel Baird was one of the most memorable and exciting, from beginning to ending. My aunt was looking for a tour driver but didn’t have anyone in mind. She found Janel, and learned that she was from my village. We didn’t know that she met Janel. A few minutes later this young woman greeted us with an infectious smile and a brief introduction of herself saying “you are my Guyanese people”. As we started to introduce ourselves we learned that she was from my village and lived in the same street. Her pleasant, friendly demeanor was captivating and soon we were on our way. As the tour of the island began Janel gave us a brief history of her beautiful island, Antigua. As we continued, she pointed out all the native fruit trees and fascinating places of interest, allowing us to take photos wherever and whenever we wanted to. Janel allowed us as much time as we wanted to enjoy the breathtaking views. She also allowed us to sample some of the island's fruits, like guava and took us to pick guinep, which were delicious. Her cheerful laugh, funny jokes had us engaged down memory lane about our village people throughout the tour. She took us to meet her husband and we talked to her father. Janel is a super hostess, and I would recommend her taxi/tour service to anyone visiting Antigua. We met as strangers and parted as friends. ❤️❤️
Our guide, Janel, was amazing. She went above and beyond as we were lucky to even experience Carnival while visiting in August 2024. We saw more than offered on site and her husband made us a great lunch! I highly recommend this tour of the island as we saw some amazing sites and learned alot about the culture.
My encounter with Janel Baird was an extraordinary one, from beginning to end. I was looking for a tour driver but didn’t have anyone particular in mind.

I was recommended to Janel through a mutual friend who visited Antigua in May 2023, and I am so grateful for the referral. From the moment I met Janel, she made me feel like family with her warm and welcoming personality. Her knowledge about Antigua's history is impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and insights throughout our tour. Janel's exceptional service exceeded my expectations. She not only guided us to the most beautiful and significant sites on the island like the devils bridge and shirleys heights just to name a few, but also made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves every step of the way. She also treated us to the best mouthwatering grilled chicken wrap and refreshing fruit punch that added a delightful touch to the day. Her enthusiasm for Antigua is contagious, and it made my experience unforgettable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide in Antigua, I highly recommend Janel. She truly provides a unique and memorable experience.
This was the most relaxing and well organized tour that my family has been on. Janel and her husband picked up in an air conditioned van. We toured all of Antigua and saw historical sites. Great photo ops. Janel was so accommodating as my three year old wanted to go for a swim so we stopped at a beautiful beach along the way. We drove through the rainforest and picked local fruits. Janel also stopped at the local markets for fresh fruits and souvenirs as requested. Lunch was so tasty, jerk chicken rice and peas, mashed potatoes and punch. This was overall a great tour especially for my older parents and three year old. We will definitely return to Antigua and do this tour again
I finished the half day excursion today with the beautiful Janel and her lovely husband. This is my 1st time in Antigua AND my 1st solo trip so I wanted to make sure I booked something that would allow me to view Antigua’s beauty in full while also staying safe. I was the only guest that booked for Sunday so I had my very own private tour! Janet and her husband picked me up at my resort’s reception area on time, and made sure to educate me on every aspect of our trip. Janet is very personable and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. It’s the little things that make such a big difference, like how pleasant they were in making small talk, providing me with wet towelettes and a water bottle to help me cool off in the Caribbean heat, stopping the car just to pick some fresh local fruit from trees to have me try, and even recommending a local restaurant to eat some yummy oxtail which I was craving all day. She didn’t pressure me at all to hurry up like some people do which can really ruin a trip. Overall, I would 100% recommend her for your tour!!
Exquisite Taxi Tours in Antigua provided a warm, knowledgeable, and punctual service with excellent suggestions on key places to visit.
Janel was absolutely refreshing ! We asked to be taken through the rainforest and to see darkwood beach and wow did she deliver ! Janel literally picked all sorts of fresh fruits and herbs for us to taste, smell and feel while on our drive! She was personable, respectful, funny ! The van was brand new and cool!! I would love to get back to Antigua just to see her ! Highly recommend!
Janel (our driver) was a fantastic tour guide for our sightseeing. This was our first time to Antigua and we really wanted to see the island and all its beauty. Janel was so happy, friendly, and told us so much about the island. Janel even pulled over multiple times to pick fruit off trees for us to try. Janel took us to a local restaurant to eat lunch and the food and atmosphere was great. We highly recommend using her and we will definitely be calling her when we return. We had so much fun!!!
Janel was such a wonderful tour guide! My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting her just as we came off our cruise ship. We were instantly drawn to her personality and confidence. Her car was clean, cool and very comfortable. She took us to some of the most breathtaking sites on the island and was so knowledgeable! We enjoyed the history she shared and she even stopped to pick fruit off the tree as she was taking us through the rainforest area. What I loved most about the tour was how personalized it was. She allowed us to decide how long we wanted to stay at certain destinations and never made us feel rushed. I highly recommend Janel as your tour guide! Janel, I wish your son all the best in his basketball endeavors!!
Janel took us to see some of the most beautiful spots on the island of Antigua and taught us about their culture. Her personality is tremendous and I highly recommend uisng her services.
My experience with Exquisite Taxi and Tours Antigua in March was absolutely amazing! From the moment we stepped into the vehicle, we were greeted with exceptional hospitality. Janel, our driver, was incredibly kind and friendly, instantly making us feel welcome. We were delighted to receive a chilled bottle of water upon entering the vehicle, a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the rest of the trip. The tour itself was well-organized, showcasing the beauty and charm of Antigua. Janel's extensive knowledge about the island and its history added depth to our sightseeing, making each stop more meaningful. After our tour, we headed to one of Antigua's stunning beaches. The sun was intense, but Janel had prepared a special treat for us – cold disposable face towels! This refreshing gesture was exactly what we needed to cool down after a day in the sun. Overall, Exquisite Taxi and Tours Antigua provided a flawless experience from start to finish. The combination of excellent service, Janel's warmth and professionalism, and the thoughtful amenities made this a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this service to anyone visiting Antigua.
We had the most amazing tour guide in St John. Janel gave us a tour around the Island and gave us the history of this beautiful Island. She was very knowledgeable, sweet and very personable. If you are looking for a good tour guide Janel is the person to hire. Thank you so much for an amazing day Janel. We really appreciate you taking the time to show us around.
So what can I say about Janel, From the time we met her at the dock she was friendly and professional. If you are looking for a great tour guide that treats you like family and cares. Look no where else she will take you through out the whole island and them some. Thank you Janel for the amazing tour!
