This tour exceeded our expectations. We visited the iconic spots which were fantastic but also a few more hidden gems and learnt so much about the islands history from our guide who was awesome. Loved our free time exploring the winding paths of Oia and the gelato shop recommendation 😋 Perivolos Beach stop was a highlight. So relaxing on those sunbeds for lunch. Loved every part of this day!
Zeus and Ulysses provided a tour beyond belief. We learned about Greek culture and history, with a splash of humor all throughout the tour. This particular offering completely avoided the cable cars which is what we needed. The ship’s tender took us to small boats which delivered us to the Mercedes tour bus. A once-in-a lifetime experience not to be missed!
The atmosphere was total relief from the wind and the heat. We had 5 hour tour and the length of visit was perfect for seeing the blue domes without feeling like we were part of a herd.
We just had a few hours and didn't want to cope with the congestion of the public busses. The guide was knowledgeable, but he also knew when to allow us some space to explore as a family. It was a very nicely paced 5 hours that were well worth the cost for the convenience. We would absolutely utilize this firm again if we return.
Everything about this tour was well thought out and executed. From the stunning starting point to the final stop, every location was worth seeing. The guides were knowledgeable and added so much value to the experience. Santorini’s beauty is unmatched, and this tour made us feel like we experienced it in the best possible way.
Our Santorini tour was amazing! Everything from the pickup at the port to the scenic stops was perfectly organized. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. We saw incredible views, visited picturesque villages, and had plenty of time to take pictures. Truly a highlight of our cruise!
This tour was perfectly organized from start to finish and covered all the must-see highlights of Santorini. We began in a beautiful town and ended the day having so much fun with a friendly and knowledgeable team. Even though the island can get crowded, the experience felt smooth and enjoyable throughout. The views are simply out of this world, and having professional guides made it feel even more special.
This 5 hour Santorini tour fits cruise passengers well. Pickup and drop off were scheduled according to match the ship timing, which is crucial here. Five hours goes quickly, but with proper planning, it didn't feel like time was wasted. You jut need to have realistic expectations.
Gina was so informative and friendly. Our driver Dimitri was vivatious and engaging. We were able to experience Santorini in a short period of time. The black beach was a bonus! Great day!
Wonderful day seeing so much of Santorini, a beautiful island. We stopped in many places, so amazing views. It's very crowded and not so easy to navigate. There were quieter spots that were also fabulous. Tour was great. Our one hour stop at the beach gave us time to eat or beach. We ate at a restaurant that had lounges you could use, but we did that for only 10 minutes. Overall, great tour.
