They should ask for Alexis as the guide as he is a tremendous knowledgeable person to tour with. Great tour as you see the whole Santorini island.
We had a wonderful tour in Santorini! The guide was very helpful and friendly. My family loved it!
Our guide Alex was a great guy. He is very knowledgeable about Santorini, its history and present. But moreover he goes to lengths to personalize the experience for all of his guests. He wants you to feel at home and have a great day.
Amazing tour! Thanks Alex, we had a great time!
Very efficient tour for cruise passengers. Alex is a very passionate, knowledgeable and courteous guide. We enjoyed our time with him!
Thorough tour of Santorini. Our guide, Alex was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our bus driver Nicholas was a very good driver. Allow time to tender from cruise ship to Old Harbor Port to ensure you make it to your tour on time.
Best way to see Santorini. Skipped the sky tram, had an air conditioned ride, small group with a local guide. Saw all the local spots, learned tons of history, and really enjoyed our day.
Alex was very knowledgeable and energetic. I was engaged the entire time and the sites were beautiful
What a great day we had exploring Santorini with our guide Alex. He was great in taking us to picturesque locations and showing us the best photo spots. We also stopped at a great place for lunch! This was just a wonderful day of exploring and shopping and eating! I really feel like we saw that whole island. Alex made it an incredibly pleasant experience.
