Top Santorini Bus Tours

Today we had a 6- hour tour of Santorini. I here were 6 of us with our guide, Tosos. He was fantastic and took us all over the island. We drive through the capital Fira and saw the path up the hill the cruise ship visitors take (along with the cable car option), went to the small town of magalochori and saw one of the old cave houses, had lunch at a great restaurant on the beach and walked on the black sand beach. We also went to Imerovigli, the highest central part of the Caldera and toured the Akrotiri archeological site covered by ash from the volcanic eruption in 1615 BC.. lastly we ended up at the monastery at the top of the hill that gave us great views of where we had been. It was a fabulous day and our guide was really lovely!

A perfect tour - well organised, not rushed. Our guide Ioanna spoke easily understood English wand gave interesting information about the history, area and points of interest combined with her great sense of humour! We avoided the cable car queues as we were taken by a large boat to a nearby port. We then transferred to a luxury minibus carefully driven by Tasos with max 20 people. We travelled around the island stopping off for a while for photo opportunities, shopping and a beautiful lunch by the sea. Then back to the large boat back to port to get our tender to the ship. So glad we took this tour. Seriously well worth it and v stress free!

After reviewing many tours available, this is the tour that my daughter and I really wanted to take. We were very nervous because we were arriving and departing on a cruise ship so likely drove them crazy with our messages. The tour started 1.5 hours early and lasted 6 hours from drop off to pick up. This gave us plenty of time to enjoy the learning, the wines, and the wonderful people we met on the tour. All 3 tasting stops were fantastic! One warning though, take cash. The first two stops were fine to buy wine with credit card, but the last stop is a small one family business. These were my favourite wines (I love sweet wines and liquors) and I wanted to buy one of each but didn’t have cash. Our tour guide Elias went above and beyond. He has so much knowledge of the island, the wines, the processes etc, he is also so incredibly kind. He offered to lend us cash at the last winery (I just didn’t feel right doing that). He was so concerned about making sure we got back to our ship on time that he arranged for a car to come pick us up. My daughter was chilly in the wind, he lent her his jacket, and also packed all of our bags and items into a shopping bag for us to carry easily. I would 100% recommend this tour and guide!
