5.00We used DS Travel Services for our transfer from Fira to the airport and would highly recommend them. Silvio was on time, very friendly, and a smooth driver. We contacted him on short notice, and he was responsive and very helpful throughout. The vehicle was very clean, comfortable, and made for a stress-free journey. Excellent service from start to finish!

5.00This was the best thing we have done while here. The crew of Natalie, Chrysa and Nefeli were the most fun, informative and helpful women that really made this a great experience. I was having a bad knee and one of them was always there to assist me. The food was an exceptional lunch and plentiful. I would highly recommend this outing with the all “lady” cruise.

Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so many interesting facts about the island’s history, culture, and hidden spots. We visited breathtaking viewpoints, traditional villages, and even a local winery. It was a great balance between sightseeing and relaxing.

5.00We had such a great time on the Morning Escape in Santorini with DSTravel! Our guide was super friendly, relaxed, and knew all the best spots on the island. From charming little villages to stunning viewpoints, we got to see so many different and beautiful sides of Santorini. The tour had the perfect pace — not rushed at all — and it gave us plenty of time to enjoy each place, take photos, and just soak it all in. It was a really fun way to spend the morning with my girlfriend, and we left with amazing memories and even better pictures. If you’re visiting Santorini, definitely check this tour out — it’s such a cool way to explore the island.

5.00A big thank you to our guide for the flawless organization of our trip to Santorini! Every detail was well thought out, and the experience was unforgettable. From the comfortable transportation to the amazing tours, everything was perfect! We can’t wait for our next adventure with you.

5.00Really professional service. If you don’t have many days, this tour is totally worth it because you can visit the entire island in one route. Our driver picked us up from our hotel, and we (my friends and I, along with another couple from the UK) started in Oia and ended in Akrotiri, which is on the other side of the island. Tip: When you visit the Caldera, don’t go down the stairs just for a good photo—it’s very difficult to walk back uphill!
