Antigua & Barbuda Travel Agent Expert

Antigua and Barbuda is a Caribbean nation made up of two main islands, Antigua and Barbuda, along with several smaller islands. Known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture, the nation offers a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Antigua boasts 365 beaches, one for each day of the year, while Barbuda is famous for its untouched beauty and serene environment. Rich in history and natural wonders, Antigua and Barbuda is a top destination for beach lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful tropical escape.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.
