Scooter Ride in Santorini
Nellie was a great guide. She knew where to go, what to do there and some "secrets" that only she knew. Scooters were great with lots of storage for 2 helmets and backpacks. Only thing I recommend you do is if you want a private tour with just your group, make sure that is clear when you book it. It's not their fault buit I think it is the way Viator does their bookings.
