fmlsprtsfn Posted July 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Does anyone know of a wheelchair accessible tour in St Johns, Antigua? I was searching old topics, but I did not find any resources. My husband has a collapsible wheelchair, but can only transfer into a lower vehicle (4 door sedan). Most tours we've found are bus-style or open air tall vehicles. Thank you in advance for suggestions Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted July 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2023 You are unlikely to find a group tour that uses sedans or other low vehicle. You will need to focus on a private driver/tour guide. Since you are NOT looking fie a wheelchair-accessible van, but “only” a vehicle with available trunk space, you should have a much easier time of it. Note that your mileage may vary considerably on finding curb cuts and ramped entrances. Many people will be happy to help and provide an extra hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli-az Posted July 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Have you checked with your cruise line about accessible tours they may be offering? A collapsible wheelchair should fit in most taxis if you want to arrange a private tour of the island. If you decide to not go on a tour, Heritage Quay is right where most ships dock. Do a search on Heritage Quay Antigua and you will find lots of photos. Here's one wheelchair user's report on Antigua. https://spintheglobe.net/dir/2019/01/28/cruise-port-of-call-wheelchair-accessibility-review-st-johns-antigua/ I've seen a few recommendations for Lawrence of Antigua so he might be able to arrange something: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2945080-is-it-easy-to-rent-a-driver-for-the-day-from-the-pier-in-st-johns/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmlsprtsfn Posted July 23, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Thank you so much for the leads. I saw Sylvia's article, but ran into a dead end with happy taxi. I was able to find Lawrence on the web and I look forward to reaching out to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
