5.00Our tour was amazing. We certainly got to see so many highlights of santorini. Our guide, Nathalie, was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to explain everything and was always so pleasant. She was so considerate of the people in our group. My husband and I thought this tour was one of the best tours we have ever taken.
1 hour in Oia was not enough.

3.00After sunset in Oia, the coach bus dropped off each passenger at their hotel. Nice, but we were nearly last and the 45 minute ride took nearly two hours. Ouch!
Fantastic tour

5.00This was a great way to see many places in Santorini in a single day. The places are small so even though we're given a short amount of time to see them, it's enough time. Plenty of time to spend at lunch and on the beach. Our guide Yannis was fantastic, very knowledgable and kind (but it's hard to find a single unkind soul in Greece!). We loved our tour.
