Alex was a great guide, wonderful tour!

5.00Alex was a wonderful guide and Spiros was a skilled driver! We saw so much of the island we never would have had time for, and we learned a lot. Alex was a lot of fun. My daughter would have loved to have more free time to shop, but we were definitely on a schedule. I very much recommend this tour. (Skipping the cable car/climb/donkey ride was also a plus!)

5.00This tour was marvelous! Santorini is a beautiful island with a rich history and this tour includes all the hot spots. Our tour guide, Markella was knowledgeable and delightful. Our driver, D’mitrius, handled the roads with ease. Thanks for a fabulous day.
Relaxing and educational.

5.00Great tour with Alex and Chris ! Third time here so didn’t think it would be different but we saw a few new spots that were beautiful! Also Alex knew how to avoid the crews and where to take the best pictures!

3.00Good thing is that you don't have to wait in a long line to ride up the hill. Tour was ok but nothing special to see. We were tendered from ship to port. Then tendered to another port to get in our van.
Great overview of Santorini with great tour guide.

5.00Great overview of the island of Santorini! Our tour guide, Alex, and our driver were excellent... informative, funny and personable. Alex knew the best photo ops and also stood in as photographer for everyone so we were able to get better pics than selfies. We also learned a lot about the island. Communication was very good. Maybe the best part was the company meeting us at the tender port and taking us by boat to the new port where we got on vans for our tour thus avoiding the cable car lines.

5.00Good trip and no lining up for the cable car. We were taken to another port and picked up by mini van. We had a good guide who gave us lots of information of Santorini and the towns we visited.
Friendly & informative

4.00This was a friendly and informative trip. We saw more of the island than I expected. At each stop, our guide provided info and helped us get great pics. She provided excellent narration on the drive too. We left feeling like we had seen the sights AND learned about daily life on the island. The last stop at the beach was our favorite. Lunch on the black sand beach was a perfect way to end the day. Note. Due to weather we ended up having to use the tram both ways. The line to leave was an hour.
Santorini - highlight of our trip

5.00Omg this lived up to all our expectations and more. Coming from a cruise it’s difficult to know what you’ll face when in port. We were blessed to have only one other cruise ship in port with us. The day before there were 7. We probably could have taken the cable car easily but you never know how many cruise ships will be in port. So this was a perfect way to avoid those queues. Our driver and guide were amazing once we were on land. We got plenty of time at each of the locations. Thankfully with not too many people we got plenty of perfect photos. Our stop at Agios Georgios was a highlight. Our lunch was absolutely divine at 41. We probably could easily have spent the afternoon there for sure. We are so happy that we got to visit Santorini on such a perfect day with only one cruise boat. We were very lucky!
