It's impossible to see all of Santorini in one day, but this tour gets pretty close! The tour guide and driver were fantastic and friendly, Akrotiri is absolutely worth visiting, and you'll have multiple opportunities to enjoy some wine and amazing views of the island. You will have plenty of time to go swimming at the black beach and dry off, so come prepared (alternatively, there's plenty of other things to do there).
Great tour ruins were fantastic, wine tasting was very enjoyable, the lady who took us round was very friendly and knowledgeable.
initially it was a disappointment as one of the sites was closed, but our tour and guide were able to accommodate something better-the 'Lost Atlantis" museum and it was awesome. our tour guide (unfortunately I did not catch her name) was awesome. My family and I were visiting for my mom's 80th bday, she loved it. I recommend it to all, including families with teenagers
Excellent tour. Yanni was our guide and was great. He is an archeologist and made some of the sites that much more meaningful. Would definitely recommend.
Tour did not start off well as we were waiting for 45 minutes for pick up. There were only 7 tourists out of which 3 were only French speaking. Apart from that, tour was fantastic and guide Iannis and his driver were excellent.
This was an action packed day. We stopped in so many places. We loved Akrotiri! It was really interesting and our guide was really knowledgeable as he was an archaeologist.
An excellent tour - Yannis, our guide, was an archaeologist so made Akrotiri really come to life. Megalochori was absolutely beautiful and lunch at the black beach was lovely. We didn’t stay on for the sunset as my mum was tired but I definitely recommend this tour.
The tour overall was very good. We ended up not going to the red beach, but the black beach, town tour and Akrotiri were excellent, Yannis is an archeologist, so had very interesting insights. Enjoyed the wine tasting. We also signed up for the Oia Sunset add on at the end, but we were just dropped off and left on our own. Skip that.
Thank you for your review. Customer reviews are important to us so we can improve and evaluate the quality of our tours.

Dear Steo69, thank you for the kind words. I'm delighted to hear that you had such a great experience. Feedback helps us constantly improve our customer experiences by knowing what we are doing right and what we can work on.
Thank you Maggie and forgive me but I did not get the drivers name, for a wonderful day out. Really enjoyed the trip and the commentary throughout. Usually bus tours aren't our thing but this was different the information throughout the day was more than we expected and we could really tell that the information was not rehearsed but coming from someone who genuinely loved Santorini. Thanks again from the two Irish. We'd highly recommend this eventful Tour! 😀
