5.00Easy pick up at the port. Very comfortable van with 12 passengers. Four stops with time to see shops and beautiful vistas. A lovely meal by the black beach and ample time to get back on the ship. We're able to skip cable cars that were very crowded. Highly recommend out driver and tour guide.
Excellent tour

5.00This was a highly enjoyable excursion and avoiding the cable car us definitely the way to go. Our guide, Victor, was clearly very knowledgeable about Santorini and delivered this in a relaxed manner. Santorini was extremely busy on the day we visited but he was able to extended our tour to make sure we weren't rushed. Our driver, Agilos, got us around skillfully and calmly. I definitely learned more about Santorini in an enjoyable and relaxed way.
Best group ever!

5.00This was a great experience despite the crazy heat. Our guide kept us laughing and had so much knowledge of the area it was great , if you have the chance to do this tour with John you will be part of the best group ever lol. A huge shout out to our driver Tasos as well for navigating the roads for the whole tore but especially the ferry traffic at the end of the tour he handled it like a boss!
DO NOT BOOK if cruising

1.00Avoid at all costs if you’re on a cruise — unless you enjoy wasting your time and money. Do NOT book with this company if you’re arriving by cruise. Our ship had a last-minute change in itinerary, and instead of arriving in the morning, we didn’t tender until the evening — obviously making it impossible to attend the booking. Cruise WiFi is outrageously expensive, but I paid for it just to let them know as soon as I found out that we wouldn’t be able to make it. They just wanted us to reschedule for the next day but we already had a ship excursion that was non refundable. When I explained that rescheduling wasn’t an option, they completely ghosted me. No help. No solutions. No refund. Just silence. I get that things didn’t go according to plan, but this company doesn’t care one bit. They’ll happily take your money and then vanish the moment something goes wrong — even when it’s clearly out of your control. Bottom line: If you’re cruising, save yourself the headache and book with someone who actually knows how to communicate and give a damn. This place certainly doesn’t.
