The tour start time will be adjusted to your ship’s docking schedule to minimize waiting and accommodate possible disembarkation delays. You’ll receive the final meeting time in the Meeting Instructions about one week before the tour.

4.00Great experience with tour guide “Victor”, very friendly and knowledgeable. The AC black van was a plus with super hot temps. Great stops for shopping, photos, and history. Only gripe was the meeting point was a little disorganized and waiting for the second ferry took a long time in the hot weather.
Best tour ever

5.00Anna, our guide, was absolutely amazing in every way, teaching not only the history geology of the area as well. The stops were wonderful and as described. Skipping the cable car is the beat way to explore Santorini when time is precious!!
Don’t spend 2 hours waiting for a cable car. Actually have time to see Santorini!

5.00Victor was an amazing guide! He was fun, and knew answers to everything we asked about Santorini. He was easy to hear and communicates well about where we were and when to meet back, etc. The beach and amenities were the best we’ve ever had in our 20 cruises. Of course the blue domes and typical tourist spots were beautiful. Everyone made you think that you can’t do Santorini without going on the cable car. So glad we found this tour. Still got to go to the top of the hill. See the beautiful beach. We got to do shopping and see a vineyard. Highly recommend.
Worth it
