We met our guide at 10 in the morning and the tour concluded at three. We didn’t have a chance to eat until 1:30. Bring snacks. Also the minivan was very comfortable, but the roads are very windy. If you have motion sickness, I recommend Bodine.
Our tour guide, Ioanna, was fabulous with her knowledge of Santorini and neighboring islands, as well as friendly, organized, and patient. Plus, our tour group was only 10 people, and we rode in a well appointed Mercedes travel minivan. Santorini is breathtaking as advertised.
Alex was an amazing guide and Odi was an amazing driver! We loved every minute of our tour!! Felt like we got to see the true Santorini! Would recommend this tour 10/10!! Can’t wait to come back!
Really good experience with really friendly people. Alex is amazing he helped a lot with food and guided us around Athens really well. ODI was also a great driver always on time
Gina made the experience very welcoming and fun. It was well organized, friendly, as well as fun. We enjoyed the stories and information about Santorini. We would highly recommend her and JAT to others coming through Santorini. Thanks for a great day!
Overall really good experience. Alex was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The bus was comfortable. Two issues, one was not the fault of the tour. First, arrival at Santorini was a mess. The entire port was absolutely packed and it was challenging to travel with the group as we waiting for the tender to take us to the bus. It was shoulder to shoulder the entire time. Once we got on the tender all was good. Alex took us to excellent spots for pictures and out of the way places. The only other issue was the restaurant they took us to to eat and swim if we wanted. The food was very good, but the service was poor and prices were high. Otherwise, a great tour and would recommend.
Lunch stop at 41, fantastic food
Alex & Nickolas were the best guides! Great tour of Santorini with a great mix of landmarks, along with a delicious lunch at the beach.
Great experience, saw all the best places to see and were able to get great pictures! Plenty of time to shop and did not feel rushed as well as a great meal at the end!
Excellent Tour! Alex was great and highly recommended using them.
