Top Santorini Outdoor Activities - page 12

This was our first time horseback riding as a couple and on our honeymoon. Manos and Barbara are a great team and couple. The stable is a local family owned business. The owners love their horses and take very good care of them. They also have years of knowledge to share. We rode Cocoa and Margherita. Both horses were calm and well behaved. Your riding experience does not matter and they will adjust accordingly. I had experience riding and had a normal ride. The wife lacked experience and was not fully comfortable, so Manos attached a guide line and gave her some instruction on the ride. We had a nice ride through the property, down a local road, and onto a beautiful lava rock beach. We got some amazing priceless pictures and video that they helped us take. They also assisted with getting us a ride back to our hotel. The car pulled up about the time we were ready to depart. Highly recommend! If you want to support family owned business with knowledgeable people who love and take care of their horses, this is the place.

I’m not sure what the other tour guides are like, but Mary/Maria was amazing. She was knowledgeable about the wines, but even more importantly (to me) she was extremely kind and charismatic. I was laughing as much a i was drinking. She helped make this 10/10! The wine was great too.

We had an amazing tour in Santorini with Viator and our tour guide Kostas! He was absolutely wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. He showed us the most beautiful places on the island and shared so much interesting information along the way. Kostas went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and never felt rushed. His recommendations were excellent, and he made our visit to Santorini truly special and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Santorini, I highly recommend booking a tour with Kostas. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Kostas, for such an incredible experience! 🇬🇷💙

Davide did a fantastic job helping us not only see the sights but avoid the crowds and customize the experience to do what we wanted. He was engaging, personal and an expert in all the stops proving interesting information without making it feel like a he was reciting something. He was one of the best guides I've ever had. Private AC van is only way too see the island, especially if coming during peak summer. Definitely start as early as you can in the morning to beat crowds. Highly recommend.

On arrival we were greeted with a hand shake and given information about the ride. Lovely relaxing ride along the beach with a few stops for photos. After the ride we were offered a bottle of water and some red wine which the owner makes himself and some nibble while we waited on our taxi.

I've done lots of boat trips on holidays of all different costs and can honestly say that this one was fantastic .Really good value and the crew were polite , friendly and kind . The boat was not packed and the itinerary was exactly as promised . We walked down the steps at Thira to the boat and got the cable car back up . Our guide on the volcano was fun and knowledgeable and we had just the right amount of time there . The boat was authentic and clean and we had fun jumping off into the sea . Definitely recommend this trip to watch the sunset away from the busy crowds .

The walk was intriguing as we wound up/down/around authentic, narrow cobblestone streets through 3 villages. Our guide, Michael, provided both historical and current context for the sites we experienced. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for a good workout! We particularly enjoyed experiencing a true cave house (no longer in use). A great beyond the usual Santorini experience.

We had an absolutely fantastic private tour of Santorini and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our tour guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the island’s culture, history, and traditions. They took the time to explain not only the famous sights, but also the stories and local way of life that make Santorini so special. We visited beautiful viewpoints, charming villages, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. The tour felt personal, relaxed, and tailored to our interests, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos. If you’re visiting Santorini and want to truly understand the island beyond the postcard views, this private tour is absolutely worth it. It was one of the highlights of our trip and left us with a much deeper appreciation for Santorini. Highly recommended!
