This excursion is great for people who are afraid of heights or want to skip the long line at the cable car. The stairs and donkeys were closed because of a mud slide so we were extra glad for our excursion. You take a ferry to a nearby port and then buses up the mountain. We stopped to take pictures at the overlooks and stopped to shop at Oia. Our guide Zeus was great. The only downside was that we had signed up for the afternoon trip so we could see the sunset on the beach and they changed us to an earlier excursion. We ended up viewing the sunset out the bus window but it was still beautiful.
Able to visit a lot...

Our guide, Alex, brought this tour to life. A local who brings personal knowledge of local culture and history to this tour added to the overall historical perspective of art and culture. Aided by a very trustworthy driver Memo, we do not hesitate to recommend this tour. As an aside, the seaside lunch was great!

Flawless 5-hour Santorini tour with guide Victor & driver Chris. Perfect itinerary, safe travel, and best grilled red snapper lunch at Fourty One. Victor shared so many interesting facts and stories about it Santorini, giving us highlights of the entire island so we know what to hit when we return. We got a real sense of what it’s like to live and work there. Thanks, also, for taking pictures at all the scenic locations.
Santorini with no long cable car lines!

We have been on over a dozen cruises and Santorini is the most amazingly beautiful island we have ever visited. The views from the rim of the caldera are unbelievable! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and witty and volunteered to take pictures of any of the guests on the tour! And it is critical to note this tour avoids the long lines - both arriving and departing - from the port. I have told that there may be over n hour wait at times - in particular when people are trying to get back to the ship at the end of the day!!!!

Our tour guide, Yianni, was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He was able to help us get through Oia with little fuss even though there were a lot of tourists. Yianni & our driver were also very helpful while touring other some villages and took some great photos at local spots.
