5.00A superbly organised, informative tour. A viewpoint to start off with followed by a lovely walk around ancient Emporio. We then had a really interesting tour around the Akrotiri site which dates back to 1600 BC. Lunch at beautiful Perissa beach and wine tasting plus a perfect end with the sunset in Oia. Kim, our guide was super friendly and knowlegable and did not stop giving us interesting facts in between each stop. Our driver was equally excellent! Highly recommend. Bus was on time for our pick up in Firostefani and dropped us back there right near out hotel. It was perfect 😊
Great tour guide, not so great driver.

3.00This tour was OK. It was a bigger group tour, a bus, so about 25 people. The guide, Mary was very nice and explained things as we drove around. But because the tour is for a large group, it's not very personal. I did not like the driver, I can't recall his name, but he was not friendly or personable at all. At one point, I went back early to sit on the bus to wait for my family, and the driver started smoking in the bus. And he closed the back door! I had to get out. It was beautiful to see Oia, but it's way too crowded. WAY to crowded. Especially around that castle to see the sunset. I could not stand the crowds. You can get lost so quickly. I actually would recommend this tour, just hope you don't get the same driver we got.
Disappointed 😔

3.00The tour covered all the main places, and the guide was really good — she explained everything clearly and in detail. However, we were disappointed at the end, as we unfortunately missed the departure point. The team was not willing to go back, and they asked us to get off the bus at an unsafe location and use public transport instead, even though at night about 7pm, in a unknown island
Terrific Tour

4.00Our guide Maggie was informative and funny. We saw a lot of the sites and came away with much better understanding of Santorini.
Great experience.
