5.00Amazing experience you definitely skip the line and are transported on an air conditioned van. The guide was super friendly and knows the best places to take pictures. At the end they take you to an amazing restaurant on the beach. Worth every penny!

4.00Overall, the tour was good. You have to wait for the local ferry to take you to the new dock to avoid the cable tram to start the tour. Once arriving there our guide and bus were waiting and the tour started. Our guide Maria was excellent. Very knowledgeable. She took us to great view points in Fira and tried to avoid the crowds as much as possible. We were given the opportunity to wine taste or explore in Oia. Those that did the wine tasting enjoyed the experience. Our biggest complaint was the lunch restaurant, Fish Taverna O Pervilolos. The service was slow and the food was not very good. Because of the slow service we got very little time to enjoy the beach. The village at the end of the tour was quaint. Santorini is a beautiful island. Wish we had more time to explore but we needed to get back in time for the ferry to the ship.
We had a wonderful time...

5.00We had a wonderful time with Alexandra exploring Santorini. I always appreciate when the itinerary delivers. We enjoyed some really lovely towns and had a wonderful time. I do wish we had more time to shop in the smaller less busy town we went to, but that would be my only feedback. Really a lovely tour.
Excellent experience

5.00We had an amazing experience with Alex and Tazos! Meeting up with our guides after tendering from the cruise ship was very easy. We had enough time at each stop but never felt like it was too much. We saw different parts of the island and ended up at an amazing restaurant on the beach. Highly recommend.
Best tour, tourist and driver in the world ever

5.00The driver and the tour guide were excellent. Very friendly, professional, helpful and made sure everyone was enjoying the tour. This has been a dream of mine for many years and I was not disappointed. The people on the tour were helpful and friendly. I had a knee injury and everyone treated me as family. I will never forget my trip. Thanks again
Highly recommend

5.00Over the top amazing! We were in port for the day and George was sure to show us the beautiful island of Santorini. He was very knowledgeable, transportation was clean and safe, we got to see so much in just 5 hours. The amazing part, since it was my daughter’s birthday he bought her a cake and candle and sang to her on the bus! Huge thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed riding...

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed riding the 13 passenger van around the island. Alex was very friendly, informative, and made us feel comfortable, especially with my 78 year old MIL who walks with a cane. We went to 5 stops, drove the entire island of Santorini, had time to quickly snap photos at each place. Also able to do some brief shopping for wine and souvenirs. Ate a late lunch at the end (you pay for this separately) by a black sand beach, which was very cool! The whole trip took about 5-6 hours. Best way to see a lot of the island in a short time!

1.00I had a great day with the tour guide and viewing beautiful Santorini. The last stop was an arranged small boat from Viator and the boat that picked us up capsized in the middle of ocean and we were fighting for our lives. I'm heartbroken that a great excursion wmcoukd go terribly wrong. The boat had engine problems and we had to be rescued.
Best way to Skip the Line!

5.00We toured Santorini with a small group and a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our group. It was a real bonus not to be caught in the cable car line up and literally “skip the line”. I would recommend this tour over any the cruise ship offers. Our experience with those is there were big groups of people and the guides were not nearly as friendly or as informative as Victor, our guide for this tour.
