If you want to see the highlights of Santorini this is a great tour. Be prepared for crowds as this is a popular spot. Without a guide you will find it difficult to navigate & to understand the islands history etc. our guide Victor was very knowledgeable & looked after us.

Love the small group. The tour guide was outstanding so helpful knowledgeable and patient. The amount of sites we covered in this time frame was excellent. We had ample time for each site. The lunch stop at the beach was very enjoyable as we had time to enjoy our surroundings and eat lunch without being rushed. I would however recommend bringing cash as the internet is not reliable.

All Thanks to Bianca.

Bianca storytelling made the history of island actually interesting, and she had the perfect balance of giving us info without overloading us. Santorini itself is more beautiful in person, the views are just crazy amazing, especially looking out the sea.
