Booked this excursion before taking a cruise and then forgot I had booked it. So, I booked another excursion (Diving) with friends I had met on board. Johnny, the Tour operator did a great job texted me on where he would be and what he looked like. I thought he was a Dive Shop representative.
After arriving at the Dive Shop, I learned Johnny was not associated with the shop. To his credit, Johnny sent a couple more texts asking my whereabouts. His last text advised me he could no longer wait for us. I wasn’t able to read those texts until I returned to the ship. In my opinion, Johnny acted professionally and went beyond the call of duty waiting for us to show up. For those reasons, I rate his services as excellent!<div class="row"></div>
Unlike most tour guides, Johnny does not just give you a standard spiel; instead, he answered our questions honestly and gave us an in-depth understanding of life in Antigua. Highly recommended and memorable experience.
Rare for Antigua we had a very rainy day which slowed traffic and cut short our itinerary ( also because it took much longer than expected to walk to the agreed upon meeting place due to my husbands pulled achilles tendon). Nevertheless, Johnny was extremely informative and managed to take our granddaughter for a snorkel in the rain at a secluded beach (Galleon) where she saw fish and a submerged boat, much to her delight! We had a quick walk through Nelsons Dockyard at English Harbour, very interesting and well worth the $15 entry fee.<div class="row"></div>
We really enjoyed Johnny’s knowledge and professionalism on this tour.
Great snorkelling.
He’s a very kind guy that made us feel comfortable on this trip<div class="row"></div>

This tour was great! Johnny is a wealth of knowledge about the island and it's history and people. We visited Nelson's Dockyard and learned the history of the island. And then went to Shirley Heights for a beautiful view of English Harbor. This was a private tour which is what we wanted especially to have more time to snorkle. Johnny took us to a beautiful beach where we saw turtles, octopuses, lots of fish and a ship wreck. We got to spend a lot of time there and we were not rushed. I would hightly recommend this tour!<div class="row"></div>
Last night before arriving In Antigua . I searched for a trip that wouldn’t involve cruise ship tourists heading off in herds to the very proper places
I found Jonny on trip advisor very late in the evening. The reviews of this tour and of Jonny were fabulous so i decided to give it a go . The booking went really smoothly and almost straight away I received the confirmation booking tickets and a message from Jonny . Such a fast response
Jonny text me some arrangements on where to meet and it was literally just out side the dock entrance down the Main Street .
We sent a pic of me and my son and I’d seen pics of him on the review site
We left the ship early and Jonny was already there .
First impressions friendly , relaxed , kind and a genuine nice guy .
Short walk to where his small mini bus which we had to ourselves . It was lovely and cool clean and comfortable.<div class="row"></div>
