Santorini Tagestour : Akrotiri, Dörfer, Wein und Sonnenuntergang in Oia

This was a wonderful day tour- broken down into activities, free time, and led by dynamic guides. The day started with a pick-up at a bus stop close to our hotel, where we were taken to a super comfortable (AC!) bus and led throughout the day. We made several tops for photos along the way—including at the top of the mountain, a roadside view of the caldera. The guide who led most of our tour was named Christina and she was a fantastic speaker- super engaging and knowledgeable about local history, agriculture, landmarks and super friendly. She even was from one of the villages we went to (Perissa) and navigated us with ease through a beautiful pedestrian village there. At Akitori, we had a different tour guide (Susannah) who was super animated and fun to listen to, spinning the mysteries of that buried city and its hidden wonders. What made this tour particularly fun in that in between the exciting stops and knowledge shared along the way, there would be free time given at various areas like Perissa and Oia- where you choose how you want to spend your time from their recommendations. Altogether, it was a lovely way to see so much of Santorini— a great driver, comfortable ride, and strong presenters too!

Really enjoyed this day, it was a long day almost 12 hours from pick up to drop off so be prepared. The only thing which was misleading is that the entrance fee for Akrotiri site was not included as stated. Apart from that a busy interesting day.

Stress free way to see a lot of awesome sights and enjoy experiences. We stayed at a hotel in Oía and the tour company sent a driver to pick us up. We joined up with the rest of the group on a comfortable bus. The tour guide spoke very clearly and gave myth stories and scientific explanations of the volcano and other natural formations. Our first stop was at the highest point on Santorini, up by the monastery. We could see forever. Then we traveled down to the prehistoric site of Akrotiri. This part was the most interesting to me. We had an archaeologist guide that explained all the ruins and answered our questions. I felt at that point the tour had paid for itself. And we still had more to go. We stopped by a small village and explored the narrow alleyways and churches, then went down to Perissa Beach to watch the sea and eat stuffed calamari. So delicious! We then went for wine tasting at a local winery. The Santo Vino was amazing. We ended our trip at Oía for sunset viewing.

Very beautifulllllllllllllllllll

Kristini our guide was superb it was an english and french tour but there were spanish and portuguese and she accommodated her knowledge and languages are phenomenal. The driver of the bus was professional and kind. Suzannah who was the guide at the Akitiri archeology site was superb made it very interesting and got us to use our imagination. Enjoyed everything even though it was a long trip it did not feel it, the beautiful church and Monestry the mountain view and Perissa beach where we stopped for lunch, then wine tasting followed on to see the sunset at Oia such an amazing trip

We took a one-day trip to Santorini, and while the island is undeniably beautiful, the experience was quite disappointing. Santorini was extremely crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the famous views or even walk comfortably through the streets. It was also noticeably hotter than other parts of Greece we visited, which made sightseeing even more exhausting. Unfortunately, our schedule was changed, and instead of having around two hours to explore Fira, our free time was reduced to less than one hour. During that short period, we also had to find a place to eat, leaving almost no time to actually enjoy the town or take in the stunning scenery. Santorini is a breathtaking destination, but a one-day excursion feels too rushed, especially during the busy summer season. If possible, I would recommend staying at least one or two nights to experience the island at a more relaxed pace.

We had a fantastic day! Provided a great overview of the island, hitting all the must-see sights. The archeological site was definitely a highlight for my family.

Check with Viator what time you need to be at the Pick up Point as whilst ticket stated 10:30 that was the leaving time in Fira and not Kamari where our pick up point was! They picked up outside the Erokitos bakery at 10am so we missed it. We called them and they moved it to the next day. The trip itself was very good and Cristina our guide and Nikons our driver were very knowledgeable and nice people.

Great day trip to get a flavour of Santorini. 10-12 hours given sunset in Oia but worth it. The views are stunning.

Yamis and the driver were brilliant. The experience brilliant. Value for money brilliant. I would hight recommend this tour to anyone.
