Felt very comfortable whole day.

I couldn't have asked for better day. The views were just unreal, those white buildings and blue water actually look like photos.

Season ... sa

Oia views were out of this world, literally it's so beautiful. Only one thing that we were running out of time, so we instantly covered the spots. For price we paid is very fair deal, not luxurious luxury but clean and proper tour.

Great Day in Santorini

We had a great time in Santorini! Our guide explained the island and its history to us as we were getting to our stops. We had time to explore and take pictures.

Overall experience was enjoyable

The cable car lines were long, as a result we were an hour late. The tour company waited for us, the bus was comfortable, our tour guide was easygoing and friendly. The guid was knowledgeable regarding the history. I would not ask for food recommendations.
