The first thing you must do in Antigua
Chris_D

Each time we visit a new city, we start with a walking tour. This gives us a chance to get the lay of the land, discover must see areas, and get advice from a knowledgeable local. So we have done a lot of these. Erwin was awesome. Highly recommended. Learn about the city, enjoy some coffee, and get your bearings!
