or the St. James' Club in the south, or

Taxi
Taxis
meet every airplane, and drivers wait outside
the major hotels. If you're going to spend a
few days here, a particular driver may try to
"adopt" you. The government of Antigua
fixes rates, and taxis are meterless.
Taxis
aren't cheap, but they're the best way to see
Antigua, as the drivers also act as guides.
Most taxi tours go from the St. John's area
to English Harbour.

By
Bus
Although
buses are a cheap option, we don't recommend
them for the average visitor. Service is erratic
and undependable, and roads are impossibly bumpy.
In theory buses operate between St. John's and
the villages daily from 5:30am to 6pm, but don't
count on it. In St. John's, buses leave from
two different "stations" on Market
Street near the Central Market, and on Independence
Avenue adjacent to the Botanical Gardens.
