Highly Trained staff
Dedicated to providing guest satisfaction
Bo Tours has always taken great pride in its personnel who are the “face” of the company and that of the tour operator. Training is thorough and we value input from our tour operator partners to further enhance the performance of the representatives. As you would expect, tour operators and guests have 24 hour access to senior staff. There is a dedicated staff member based at VC Bird International Bird International Airport to ensure guests are personally greeted on arrival and transported to their chosen hotel as efficiently as possible.
Bo Tours offer guests a comprehensive selection of quality tours and shore excursions in and around the island of Antigua - which are licensed and insured. We would encourage guests only book excursions through their ground handler or a reputable local travel agent to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Many locally beach vendors are uninsured and have no licenses to operate.
Why Choose Us?
The most professional ground handling service on the island of Antigua – and the only Antiguan ground handler with a UK representative.
