  This was a terrible experience. We were given instructions to meet at the old port however the Ship tender drop us at the new port. From there we were advised to take the shuttle bus into the town to get the Cable Car down to the old port, but the cable car was closed, as was the path leading down to the old port. You can't get to the old port by taxi and after speaking on the phone to the excursion driver we were told they couldn't pick us up. Then we got a second phone call to saying they would pick us outside MacDonalds. We waited here for over half an hour in the pouring rain, but no one showed up. We were told we couldn't get a refund as we didn't follow their instructions, but we feel we did everything possible to get to their meeting point.

• Everything was perfectly organized

  This tour made everything so simple and enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about long lines or missing our ship, everything was perfectly arranged. The guide was passionate about the island and told us stories about its history, architecture, and people. We had time to explore Oia’s narrow streets, shop for souvenirs, and take in the stunning views.

  I still remember the wind and the light. This tour felt effortless from start to finish, no waiting in line, no confusion, just pure beauty. We even had a little time for a drink overlooking the cliffs. That memory will stay with me forever.

• The smartest decision

  This tour was the smartest decision of our whole cruise. Skipping the cable car saved us hours, and we used that time exploring instead. The guide shared little tips and photo spots that made the day special. Santorini doesn’t just look beautiful. It feels beautiful.

  The guide was already waiting when we arrived and led us to a comfortable minibus. The ride offered gorgeous views of the cliffs and sea. We stopped at Oia for pictures, had a small walking tour in Fira, and even visited a local spot for some delicious Greek snacks. Everything was perfectly timed so we were back at the ship without stress. I loved every moment of it!

• So happy we chose this tour!

  This tour is a great way to see Santorini’s highlights without the long wait for the tram from the port. When we visited, the mule/walking path was closed due to repairs, so we were happy with our choice of excursion. Our guide, Zeus, was excellent. His knowledge of Santorini was exceptional and his enthusiasm was contagious. We had so much fun exploring the towns, although we could have spent an entire week without seeing it all.

• A perfect adventure

  We had just five hours on the island, and this tour made every minute count. No waiting, no stress, just time to actually be in Santorini. I loved wandering through Oia’s quiet lanes, hearing church bells, and feeling the wind off the cliffs. It was short, but it felt timeless.

• Great day in beautiful Santorini!

  Great day on the beautiful island of Santorini! We booked the 12:00 PM tour and are glad we did. Our ship docked at 9:00 AM but the tendering process off the ship took forever. We were the only ship in Santorini that day and when we arrived on shore, the line for the cable car was really long. We were very glad we booked the skip the cable car tour! Our guide, Victor, was on time and we quickly boarded another boat, which took us to a port, where we could get on a bus and be driven to the top of the cliffs. Freddy, our driver, did a great job maneuvering the hairpin turns to the top as Victor told us all about Santorini, the island on which he lives. He was very knowledgeable and had a nice sense of humor. We visited the beautiful blue dome churches and had free time in the town to walk around and enjoy a gelato! We also enjoyed lunch in a relaxing setting at the black sand beach. Unfortunately, due to rough currents, we were unable to take the boat back to the port and had to return to Fira and take the cable car down. The tour company paid for our cable car tickets and although it was not what we signed up for, I was happy that they were thinking safety first! The line for the cable car was long and we waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get on. Everyone in line was pleasant and made the best of it. We had a great day and Victor did a great job. I would highly recommend this tour!

• Expensive but great way to see Santorini stress free!

  This is the one stop on our cruise that I splurged for this tour. I didn't want to deal with the cable car to go up or to go down. So this was the priciest tour we took on our whole 14 day cruise. We are so glad we did! This was a super way to see lots of the island and do it stress free. We enjoyed all the stops. Our tour guide was Victor and he was a super delightful tour guide! He was so good to share with us all the knowledge he has about Santorini and Greece and it was so enlightening! If you have the opportunity to have him or request him, you should!

  I enjoyed everything about this tour. As advertised we saved time by tendering to our bus and avoided a long lift line. There were plenty picture worthy moments and our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly.
