“We had such a great time at the cooking classes through Nicole's Table! Unfortunately none of the excursions offered by the cruiseline we were traveling on were too compelling, so we branched out and found Nicole's Table on Viator and are so glad we did. We got to meet people from different ships and tourists traveling independently and worked together to prepare a fantastic meal. The food blew us away and was our favorite meal from the entire trip. Nicole and her family are charming, engaging, and will keep you laughing and smiling the whole time. If you have the opportunity to take this class, we absolutely recommend it!”

“The tour with Giles was great. He is very accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his home island of Antigua. This tour is not physically demanding, but more of moderate level of activity. My wife isn't the most confident of bikers, but Giles always made sure we had the right of way with the little bit of traffic leaving the city and by the end of the tour she felt great about the ride. The kayaking was relaxing and peaceful. The Fort that Giles took us to very interesting, and the small beach (St. John's I think) was stunning. All in all it was an excellent morning with Giles and…”
