We did this tour last week.....our German guide Nick (he said that was his Greek name!) was brilliant, loads of knowledge and really good fun. You see loads in a relatively short space of time and learn a lot. And thank you to 'Nick' for the recommendation of where to enjoy a drink whilst watching the sunset away from the crowds.
This is a must do trip to see the “other” side of Santorini, with this said … our Guide - Maria! If ONE person must stand out as ambassador for this magnificent island and its gorgeous people it surely must be Maria. Her passion for the people, history and the island itself elevates this trip way beyond “just” a trip. (Pro tip: count those Lemon trees 😉) Oh yea, there was the sunset too…Do not miss the sunset view from Oia!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed discovering the “other” side of Santorini and that Maria made such a strong impression with her passion and knowledge. It’s great that the sunset in Oia was also a highlight of your trip. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
Very busy but a perfect day for my son’s 18th. The tour guide was fantastic, funny and took lots of photos for everyone.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you had a perfect day for your son’s 18th birthday and that the tour guide made it even more enjoyable with fun and helpful service. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
Kamari Tours Day Tours is ideal for those with tight and fit Santorini itinerary. Since we only stay in Santorini for three days, choosing Karari Tours for a day trip should be a cost-effective and efficient way to get to know Santorini's iconic landmarks as quickly as possible. It should be noted that since itineraries include the highest-altitude monastery, the labyrinthine Pyrgos, Akrotiri's red sand beach, Fira town and finally Oia town, each stop is limited and physically exhausting, so don't expect to be able to enjoy every attraction in an immersive way. It's best to study what good photo landmarks each attraction has before you report. This makes more efficient use of the limited time spent at each stop. Thanks to lovely guide Elise's humorous explanation, I went back to her route the day after the day trip, and interestingly ran into her again at Pyrgos Castle.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed seeing Santorini’s highlights efficiently and that Elise made the tour fun and memorable. We appreciate your tips about planning ahead and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
5 Out guide Tania had such a good knowledge of the island. Quirky humour made the trip fun. Got best service as Tania knew best place for views
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so happy to hear that Tania’s knowledge and quirky humor made your trip enjoyable. It’s great that she could show you the best spots for views and provide excellent service. We hope to see you again soon for more memorable experiences!
Great tour, plan sneakers because the climb of Pyrgos is severe. The guide is radiant a real pleasure to spend a day with her. If you're going to Oia in October, there's a lot of people, so make sure you have a jacket.
Thank you for your lovely review and helpful tips for future guests! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that our guide made the experience even more enjoyable! Pyrgos does have a bit of a climb, so your advice about sneakers and a jacket for October is spot-on. Oia’s charm does come with a crowd, but we’re glad you made the most of it. Thanks again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience!
Santorini Island Tour with Eliza and George - fantastic island tour on a bus. Eliza was informative about the places we were visiting and provided clear instructions on when we needed to be back at the bus. We got to see a lot of places in one day, topped off by the famous sunset at Oia. Would recommend Kamari tours.

Fantastic beautiful and unforgettable trip thanks to our lovely guide. We felt well informed and safe throughout the trip. It was not possible to be picked up at our hotel (due to uneven road), but sweet Maria from Kamari Tours made sure that we were picked up and set by 200 m from our hotel.

It felt like everyone in the group already knew each other, which made the trip enjoyable. The locations were well chosen and the highlight came to the end.
