We enjoyed the excursion to a coffee plantation. It was a family-owned, rather small farm where we were escorted by the owner. After the tour, we were invited to sample the coffee with some cookies. A local weaver had some of her wares on display and available for sale.

Took the NCL tour to Antigua with a guide. It had it all, smoking volcanoes on the drive up to a cool (take a sweater) beautiful city with colorful street vendors. Btw, we had no problem with beggars or vendors in any port, they respected a polite “No thank you” as long as you didn’t stop to look at their goods. The Jade factory was surprisingly interesting. Don’t miss the talk by the owner.

Take the excursion to Antigua on your own. Fantastic! You can hire a local guide once you get there for very little money. Just walking around this city was wonderful.

Make the 90-minute drive to Antigua. See Central Park, the Cathedral, Governor's Palace and the church & convent. Have lunch in historic Casa Santo Domingo now a hotel and cultural center with several museums - candles & ceramics, art and handicrafts. Visit the Jade Museum Factory

We had some great shopping right off the ship. Lots of people selling their wears, little pushy to sell but very nice.

There is a nice shopping area right at the port if you want to buy native crafts or souvenirs. I can't recall if there was any other places to walk to. We took a bus to Antigua and had time on our own. It's a neat old town with amazing old buildings. However, the cobblestone streets make walking more difficult and you will be pestered by vendors wherever you go.

We did a ship tour called Coffee Plantation and Antigua. It was very good. Visiting the coffee plantation was very informative. Lunch was excellent.

Beautiful county. Went up to Lake Attilan. Just wondrful! Only issue I had is that there are way too many street vendors trying to sell things and they don't take no for an answer. They were like fleas.

Didn't take an excursion. (All involved a 1.5-2 hours drive each way). The is nothing at the port itself.

Toured Antigua, went to the Jade factory and learned about the country. Very interesting. The welcoming committee on the dock did a great job welcoming us and providing handouts.
