Absolutely fantastic! Yannis was amazing as a guide-wonderful AC vehicle and driving. Highlight of our trip. Don’t hesitate to book this one.
We have been on tons of ship-booked excursions. This time we booked directly with the agency and we will never book with the ship again. First, our driver Marinos drove us up the Cliffs of Insanity in a luxury MB Sprinter van. Zeus our guide took us to all the best vantage points and explained all the best information for our day trip. We went to a great beach restaurant and had delicious fresh Greek Food. Highly recommend this tour. Ask for Zeus and Marinos. Will be quite happy.
Alex was a wonderful guide and Spiros was a skilled driver! We saw so much of the island we never would have had time for, and we learned a lot. Alex was a lot of fun. My daughter would have loved to have more free time to shop, but we were definitely on a schedule. I very much recommend this tour. (Skipping the cable car/climb/donkey ride was also a plus!)
This tour was marvelous! Santorini is a beautiful island with a rich history and this tour includes all the hot spots. Our tour guide, Markella was knowledgeable and delightful. Our driver, D’mitrius, handled the roads with ease. Thanks for a fabulous day.
Viktor did a fantastic job describing Santorini as we toured through the hills and waterfront. Very knowledgeable!!
Great tour with Alex and Chris ! Third time here so didn’t think it would be different but we saw a few new spots that were beautiful! Also Alex knew how to avoid the crews and where to take the best pictures!
Good thing is that you don't have to wait in a long line to ride up the hill. Tour was ok but nothing special to see. We were tendered from ship to port. Then tendered to another port to get in our van.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that, as promised, you didn’t have to wait in long lines and that we successfully avoided sky trams and reached Athinios Port by boat to get you to your van — confirming that we delivered the services as described. We understand that everyone’s tastes and travel preferences differ. While you may not have found Santorini particularly special, it is widely recognized as one of the top three destinations in Greece and among the top ten most picturesque locations in the world, visited by millions of travelers each year. We appreciate your feedback and wish you safe and happy travels!
Great overview of the island of Santorini! Our tour guide, Alex, and our driver were excellent... informative, funny and personable. Alex knew the best photo ops and also stood in as photographer for everyone so we were able to get better pics than selfies. We also learned a lot about the island. Communication was very good. Maybe the best part was the company meeting us at the tender port and taking us by boat to the new port where we got on vans for our tour thus avoiding the cable car lines.
Victor gave us an excellent tour of Santorini highlights. We enjoyed him and all of the sites. Thank you.
Good trip and no lining up for the cable car. We were taken to another port and picked up by mini van. We had a good guide who gave us lots of information of Santorini and the towns we visited.
