1.00Horrible service. No one could tell us where to go. The description did not disclose that you had to take a cable car up and back that was 600 foot in the air and we also had to pay for it in addition to them not being on time to pick us up or at the right place. Don’t waste your time or money. It was terrible and totally ruined our trip for the day and it was a lot of money that we prepaid for. Now I will have to get I to a fight when I get home to get my money back. Find a different excursion.
I’ll Miss You!

5.00We loved this stop! Penny was our tour guide and she was adorable! George was our driver and we loved him, too. It was a sunny day, but super windy (25-30min) and about 67 degrees (Fahrenheit). We all had light sweaters/jackets and it was perfect. Some even wore shorts and were fine. My advice, take all the photos and consider turning them into puzzles or canvas or wall art because WOW! We didn’t get to ride the donkeys since there was a recent landslide, but the cable car experience was quick and easy. We did the half day tour and added an extra winery to our stops. We are wine lovers, so this was perfect for us! We did prefer the first winery, though. It was called Artemis Karamolegos. We ate lunch and did a tasting. We also got to see the production and barrel rooms. The food was amazing and the wine was delicious. We bought 2 additional bottles and they said they distribute to the states. Something to know before you book, if you do the winery, the lunch is paid on your own there and the tasting is paid the day before to the travel company. They will send you a link to prepay. The tasting was €20pp. For lunch, we all shared a bunch of things and it was somewhere around €25pp. There were 11 of us. Overall, I recommend this tour! Penny and George made the experience so fun and Penny is even a certified sommelier, which was perfect for our wine loving group. We learned quite a few Greek words and a few “bad” ones too! Our transportation was comfortable and roomy. We will definitely return to Santorini!

3.00Tour was stretched out to much with information that was not too interesting. We did not go to beach but that may be due to weather
Excellent Tour of Santorini

5.00I loved this one! The pride with which our tour guide , Yola, showed us around was infectious and can only come from a local. I am so glad that she included not just touristy spots of Santorini but also the more local places.
