Amazing sunset but be there 1-2h in advance

Dumitriu_A, Jul 2023

Nice villages to pass by, the tour guide was very well trained and explain everything, the sunset is amazing but be on the sunset boulevard 1-2h before and if you can,go to a terrace (but they are very expensive)

The tour is off beaten...

sovnatasha, Jun 2022

The tour is off beaten trucks, our guide Tanja is the best! Very deep knowledge of history of the region, traditions and culture of Santorini, she was. brilliant! Now about the description of the tour on Viator.com site- it is simply not true and very misleading! First of all this is a bus tour, not a small group minivan tour! Secondary- the tour is NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE USING A STROLLER!!!!! Not at all!!! The website says it is suitable! We were in a deep trouble and only could manage the trip with the help from the people of the group , Tanja and our drivers! And I want to say a big big thank you to them all!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear sovnatash, Thank you very much for your valuable feedback, We are very glad that you were pleased with the guide and the driver of the tour. We always aim for the best quality for our guests. Regarding the problem you had with the stoller this was the first time anyone has complained about this. Maybe it was a problem because of the many parked vehicles . However, we have changed the description of the tour and it no longer appears that it is suitable for guests with a stroller. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you,
