Maria was a wonderful tour guide! So nice and got our small group an intimate tour of Santorini to try and avoid the crowds! Such a good experience.
We're so pleased you enjoyed exploring with Maria and that your small group felt so personal! Finding quieter spots makes such a difference in Santorini. Thank you for joining our 6-hour Villages & Wine Shore Excursion—I’ll pass your lovely words on to Maria.
You can tell how much Maria, our guide, loves Santorini and she takes pride in showing us an intimate side of the island, and her people. It was like a friend taking us to her favorite insider spots. Fabulous tour and I would recommend a small group with Maria as a guide.
Feeling like a friend was showing you her favourite spots is such a lovely compliment to Maria! Her love for Santorini really does come through, and I’m so pleased you felt that connection to the island and its people on our 6-hour Small Group Shore Excursion: Villages & Wine. Thank you for recommending her—I’ll make sure she sees your kind words.
We had an incredible day in Santorini! Kathorin planned the perfect tour for us. She met us at the port and arranged for our water taxi to the pick up point. Communication with her was very quick and effective. Lilly was a fun and informative guide. We enjoyed our time with her. Compared to some of the options through the cruise line, this tour was a great value!
We're so happy you joined us on the Villages & Wine Shore Excursion. It's lovely to hear everything went smoothly from the moment you arrived, and that the water taxi arrangements helped make the start of your day stress-free. I'll also be sure to pass your kind words on to Lilly—she'll be delighted to know she helped make your visit so enjoyable. Thank you for choosing SantoriniExperts and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Santorini one day.
Six of us (three couples) had a fantastic day! Keriakos, our delightful guide picked us up in a very comfortable minibus and took us everywhere we asked and more! Thankyou for a perfect day in Santorini!
We're so happy the six of you joined us on the Villages & Wine Shore Excursion. It's lovely to hear Kiriakos helped make your day such an enjoyable one. Having a small group gives us the flexibility to tailor the experience, and I'm glad you were able to see everything you hoped for—and a little more. Thank you for choosing SantoriniExperts and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you all back to Santorini one day.
Santorini is beautiful. Our guide (Elle) was very well versed in the villages and gave us a great tour. We had five people total on the excursion so small group is very accurate!
Daniel, we're so happy you joined us on the Intimate Santorini – Villages & Wine tour. With a small group, there's always more time to enjoy each stop and get to know the island at a relaxed pace. I'm glad Elle could share her knowledge of the villages and help make your day such an enjoyable one. Thank you for traveling with Elle and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Santorini in the future.
Sandra was very knowledgeable And personable Tour went to very interesting and charming locations Would recommend to all
Sandra was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. She’s like an old friend giving you the tour of her city.
Our all inclusive tour included Fira, a unique village with its cave house, Ouia with its blue dome houses, and its delicious gelato. Sandra is an excellent host who really made us feel at home. Traveling with our group of six made it all the more intimate. Definitely recommend her and this tour.
Lilly was excellent. Lots of knowledge and very helpful. Great bubbly personality with lots of smiles and great customer service
Great tour with Sandra! Loved every bit of the stops. The time to explore on your own was an added bonus. She was very informative and super sweet!
