Very good experience run by true professional team of husband and wife. Both caring, knowledgeable, warm, gracious, and lots of fun. They pay personal attention to every driver and also explain the island's unique geographical features. My son and I learned so much and were very pleased overall with the experience.
It is a 4 hour trip worth taking. The views are incredible! The tour guide was amazing and made sure you knew what you were seeing.
Family run business -- give them support. Our guide, Nially, gave us such a complete tour of the island, we never would've seen it all without her and being on the ATV's. She was fun, informative and allowed us time to take in the beautiful island sights
We had a fantastic time on the ATV Tour with Nelli. It was really fun and we got to do a great tour of the island. Her husband was super helpful in running us through how the ATV worked and felt we were in super safe hands and the equipment was brand new. Highly recommend to all
One word about our ATV tour of Santorini: AMAZING! After nearly surviving walking up the 600+ steps without the use of a donkey, we met Marciano who walked us to his ATV shop where we met his beautiful wife Nene who took us on an INCREDIBLE once in a life time of Iona and Fira. I cannot accurately describe how breathtaking the views overlooking the ocean and beaches were. We stopped off at the spots Santorini is known for, such as the blue domed church topped villages and white luxury villas, local churches, a monastery, and beaches. It felt like a bucket list dream! Nene also was so sweet and courteous and offered to take pictures of my wife and I along the way to document our adventure. Nene packed everything anyone could ever ask for into one tour that helped us create memories of a lifetime that we'll treasure eternally. If you want Thebes of the best tour to brag about with friends and family when you return back home, I highly recommend booking with them! Trust me, you will not be disappointed!!
We had an amazing experience on the Santorini ATV Highlights Tour: Oia, Viewpoints & Volcanic Beaches at 10 AM with MotoThira Rentals! Nelly and Mariano were excellent hosts from start to finish. Mariano took the time to thoroughly show me how to safely operate one of their newest ATV quads for my wife and me. He was patient, detailed, and made sure we felt completely confident and safe before we began the tour. After the safety briefing, Nelly gave us a great overview of each location we would visit along with interesting history about Santorini, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Once we started, everything was organized perfectly. Nelly was the ideal tour guide. She constantly made sure everyone was safe, helped me remember signaling while driving, and maintained a comfortable and safe pace throughout the tour. She also took fantastic photos of us and made sure we were having a great time every step of the way. MotoThira Rentals also had an impressive fleet of vehicles, from brand-new ATVs and scooters to buggies and Mini Coopers, and the entire operation felt professional and well-maintained. You can truly tell they care about customer service and safety. We highly recommend MotoThira Rentals to anyone visiting Santorini. Their patience, kindness, generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for our safety truly meant everything to us. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!
After a quick ATV lesson, we were on the road. My guide, Nelli, led me all over the island. I was the only one on the tour, so it was personalized. We were never in any rush. In order to get through the throngs of people, she held my hand so that I wouldn’t get lost or fall behind. This also helped given that the towns have lots of uneven steps and stairs. I felt very protected. This was my first time driving or even riding an ATV, and it was relaxing for me. The drive was smooth and the views were wonderful. I was able to take the typical photos of the island, but also get views that are not as common that other tours may not reach. I’d say I got my money’s worth from this tour from start to finish. I 100% recommend this tour for those that want a little adventure.
Best way to see the island. Guide was great- we went to the highest point and to areas big tour buses cannot go. Felt very safe. I’d love to do it again!
Best ever !!!! Highly recommend. Our tour guide was phenomenal. Took us all around both to see Oia, the Caldera, Black and Red beaches. The history that she shared, and how the island of Santorini was formed was incredible. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to see and experience Santorini.
This was the highlight of our mother/daughter trip to Santorini. Nellie was our tour guide. We were ATV novices. They explained the ATV to my daughter (who drove it during the excursion). Nellie lead us on her motorcycle and stayed with us to make sure we were ok. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time, even on the trek up to the 600 meter cliff where we toured a monestary. We rode around much of the island and also toured Oia and the red beach. She explained the history of Santorini and the Caldera before and throughout the trip. She was informative, kind, and worked hard to ensure our safety. Highly recommend.
