Good but pricey tour

Kim_B, Oct 2023

It was a good tour with our guide. The price for the tour was quite high. Three couples cost $650. $400 would still have been high. We were taken to most of the unique and historic sites. The guide was occasionally hard to understand.

Santorini tour with Katarina

Dannelle_M, Sep 2023

My husband and I loved this tour! Katarina was fabulous- very sweet, knowledgeable and knew all the right places to take memorable pictures. Thank you for a wonderful time!

5 stars!

Asia_R, Aug 2023

Great tour. Very responsive to my pre-tour questions. Katarina was very kind and insured that my family had an amazing tour.

Excellent tour!

Kent_L, Jul 2023

Great day spent with Nikki. Microphone wasn't working in the van but she made sure all of us could still hear her. Nikki did a great job of asking what we wanted to do, but also knowing what we needed to see. Her knowledge of the island was incredible. Great day was had by this group of 13!!

Great guide and great sites!

Eileencaylor, Jul 2023

Our guide was awesome and I'd highly recommend this tour. The temps were pretty high the day we visited and our guide was accommodating to this. He allowed us to stop at a cafe to recharge and get a drink which was appreciated.

Santorini with Theo

margarita_r, Jul 2023

Theo was very professional with his information and was able to be at the right place and at the right time. We had 6 cruise ships that docked on the same day, with his assistance we didn’t feel the crowd because of his expertise of looking for the hidden gems.

Most beautiful destination ever!

monica_m, Jul 2023

My husband and I truly enjoyed our tour of Santorini. Our tour guide Katerina was amazing! She is very knowledgeable of the town. She took us to every beautiful place Santorini has to offer. Katerina is patient, kind and funny. She was not only a tour guide, but she went the extra mile and was our personal photographer! We have so many pictures of ourselves with beautiful scenery because of her. She was the best tour guide and I highly recommend a tour of Santorini with her.

Once in a lifetime

Jim_B, Jul 2023

We were told about the interesting history and he brought us to the best places for awsome scenery and photo ops. He also allowed us free time for us to troll around some areas. He was very friendly and made the trip about us!

Great private tour with Adonis

Derek_Z, Jun 2023

Adonis, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful during our private tour. He provided tips and suggestions based on our initial ideas and our day was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend and Adonis as well!

Amazing

AkashKhurana, Jun 2023

Amazing experience. Akis (tour guide) and Niko (driver) were great and ensured our family of 10 was well taken care of. We saw all the key spots, took million pictures and ended the tour with dinner at an local restaurant. Also made it time.

Theo in Santorini

Amie_C, May 2023

Theo, our tour guide was fabulous. He had to wait for us due to crowds at the cable car, and he was waiting with a smile! He was knowledgeable, professional, and fun to spend the day with. We had a great day.

Delightful day despite cable car drama

Gary_V, May 2023

Our guide Adonis was on time. We were late because of tendering. He was very friendly, spoke English well and had a thorough knowledge of the island. He was an excellent driver amidst that crazy traffic. We drove all over the island stopping at all the points of interest and took a break in Oia for some fruity drinks. He took photos of us and with us. We saw both North and South sides of Santorini. Be aware there is quite a lot of walking...first to get to the vehicle then through narrow streets in town to get to the fort. We arrived back at drop off at correct time but because of long cable car lines, would have missed the last tender. Many worried about the ship leaving us. But all those people were going the same place so the ship delayed to wait for us. I would recommend this tour to any group of 1-6 who want to see as much as possible in the one day stop. Adonis was an excellent, knowledgable guide.

Awesome experience

pltownsend, Oct 2022

Santorini is as beautiful as the pictures. The guide made sure that I saw the things that were important to me.

Private was the way to go

karen_s, Oct 2022

We were on a cruise but decided to take a private tour of Santorini. So glad we did. Feel like we got to see so much more as Giannis took us all over the island! He was fabulous telling us history and about the local culture. We fit in one side of the island to the next, to the highest point, to a wine cave for wine tasting, to the black beach. We couldn't do the red beach because it had rained (1st day in 7 months) so it would be too slick, to a fabulous Greek lunch where the staff was great. 8 of us highly recommend private tour and Giannis!!!

Very busy town, don't expect to get clean photos.

mit817, Sep 2022

Value is for sure top notch. If you going with cruise, try a later departure and late coming back to ship to avoid the crowd. Communication is great from tour operator. If there's any suggestion, would ask the driver to be more like local angry driver, do not be so polite. 2 way street with 1 lane, being polite will end up no where.

Amazing tour! Amazing guide!

kerryd, Jun 2022

We had an amazing experience with Atonis! One of the best guides we have ever had on a vacation. He took us to all the best spots in Santorini and booked ahead so we received the VIP treatment. Do not think twice, book your tour and ask for Atonis!

We’ll worth it with a wonderful guide.

Gabriella_M, Jun 2022

Realizing the diversity on the island, the overwhelming scope and beauty and the serenity of the monastery. A wonderful guide who unfortunately dropped us at the end without clarifying the path to the cable car but that did not diminish Adonis’s enjoyable tour.

Fantastic Guide and Tour

Diane_R, May 2022

Adonis was a fantastic guide and we enjoyed every moment with him. He had so much knowledge about the island. When we went to rocky places, he helped us to make sure we stayed safe. I highly recommend Adonis and this wonderful tour!!!!

A fantastic tour of Santorini

Andrew_B, May 2022

Aris picked us up at exactly the arranged time at our Airbnb. The van was very clean and comfortable. He did a fantastic job of showing us around the whole island. We had some stops with amazing views. We had a great tour of Oia and he amazingly timed it perfectly so that we were leaving as cruise ship tours were arriving. We saw red and black beaches, the monastery at the highest point on the island and he chose a wonderful spot on the beach for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to start your time in Santorini. You’ll get a great feel for the island and he helped us choose some activities for our other days

Wonderful tour of the...

Inderjit_G, May 2022

Wonderful tour of the island of Santorini! The tour covers all the must see spots and the guide was wonderful!
