What are people saying about Santorini

Dionne_M, Jun 2026

Excellent ATV TOUR!!

We had an amazing experience on the Santorini ATV Highlights Tour: Oia, Viewpoints & Volcanic Beaches at 10 AM with MotoThira Rentals! Nelly and Mariano were excellent hosts from start to finish. Mariano took the time to thoroughly show me how to safely operate one of their newest ATV quads for my wife and me. He was patient, detailed, and made sure we felt completely confident and safe before we began the tour. After the safety briefing, Nelly gave us a great overview of each location we would visit along with interesting history about Santorini, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Once we started, everything was organized perfectly. Nelly was the ideal tour guide. She constantly made sure everyone was safe, helped me remember signaling while driving, and maintained a comfortable and safe pace throughout the tour. She also took fantastic photos of us and made sure we were having a great time every step of the way. MotoThira Rentals also had an impressive fleet of vehicles, from brand-new ATVs and scooters to buggies and Mini Coopers, and the entire operation felt professional and well-maintained. You can truly tell they care about customer service and safety. We highly recommend MotoThira Rentals to anyone visiting Santorini. Their patience, kindness, generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for our safety truly meant everything to us. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!

Small-Group Santorini Sea Caves Kayak Trip with Snorkeling & Picnic

Gretchen_G, Jun 2026

An unforgettable adventure!! Thank you Kallopi

We had an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience with Kallopi and Serenity Kayak Santorini! From paddling along the stunning coastline and exploring sea caves to snorkeling in crystal-clear water and even cliff jumping, every moment was unforgettable. One of the highlights was being lucky enough to encounter a small wild octopus while swimming—such a special and memorable experience that made the day even more magical. Kallopi was wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the adventure. The homemade picnic was absolutely delicious and a perfect addition to an already amazing day. If you're visiting Santorini and looking for a unique way to experience the island's natural beauty, I highly recommend Serenity Kayak Santorini. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Private Cultural Villages Sightseeing & Akrotiri Excavations

Mindy_M, Jun 2026

Up, down, and around Santorini’s unique villages!

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.

A fun excursion to do on Santorini!

This was a fun and interesting experience. We got lucky and we were the only ones booked for our time slot, so we got a private tour. The guide was friendly, experienced, and made sure we had a comfortable trip. He taught us how to drive the ATVs and made the journey as seamless as possible. He also had great information to tell us about the island and the areas we stopped. Highly recommend!

Santorini Sea Kayak – Volcanic Cliffs, Hidden Sea Caves & Picnic

Namita_L, May 2026

We had such a great time...

We had such a great time on this sea kayaking tour! Nolan was an awesome guide and we actually ended up getting a private tour because the rest of the group couldn’t make it, which made the whole experience even more special. The water was BEAUTIFUL and kayaking around the island was such a unique way to see Santorini. Also, they provided a homemade picnic for us which was so thoughtful and delicious. Neither of us had kayaking experience before this, but it ended up being super easy and Nolan helped us the entire time. He made us feel really comfortable and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Would absolutely recommend this tour if you want something a little different and more personal!

Fun excursion at Santorini Lovers Horseback Riding

Amazing experience! It was my family’s first time riding horses and we felt safe. The guides led us with watchful eyes from the front and back. They tethered our horses to the lead and last horse. The horses, all female, were gentle and easy to ride. The view of the black sand beach was amazing! Highly recommend.

JScott_M, Nov 2025

Beautiful island, terrific tour, outstanding guide!!!

The tour with George was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. He picked us up at our hotel and after discussing the sites we wanted to see, he took us around the island. The car was comfortable and water, as promised was provided. George took us to places we wouldn't have found on our own. He narrated the tour with pertinent information about the island and the sites he shared with us. At many sites, George took pictures of us and our friends and pointed out the best views for our picture taking. The place he took us to for the sunset was very, very special. The experience was awesome. If you want to see the best of Santorini with a caring, knowledgeable guide, this tour is for you.

Santorini - Volcano and Hot springs

Maria_J, Aug 2025

All of Santorini is a left over from volcano

1 a little confusing getting to ticket stand. Use the link for directions they give for exact coordinates The booth is labeled Dakoutros Bros. J.V next to white cube benches 2. Tix Booth is in front of the boat where it embarks. 3. We went to the warmer area of the bay and had to swim close to shore to experience the warmer sea water. Some people jumped from the boat while others used the ladder. Rhey had pool nje 4z the hike above the sleeping volcano was difficult but manageable in the alloyed. Views were lovely. Overall I recommend, it’s a new experience and fun

Amazing experience

We had the most amazing time on the Medusa Sunset Boat Cruise yesterday! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The views were absolutely stunning as the sun dipped below the horizon, and the atmosphere on board was just magical. Our hosts Themis and Miltos went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time — they were so friendly, fun, and attentive. It honestly felt like they were part of the celebration! We booked this for my sister’s hen do, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Everyone was raving about it afterwards — such a memorable and special evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate in style!

Archaeological Bus Tour to Akrotiri Excavations & Red Beach

Yandira_C, Jun 2025

Perfect way to see the villages

The tour has a great pace. Tania was funny, enthusiastic, welcoming and warm. The driver Dimitris was amazing traveling thru those narrow roads. We were given enough time at each spot, akrotiri blew my mind ( the tour guide was very knowledgeable) , Megalochori stole our hearts.The tour ends with a stop at Perissa which was refreshing although that area of Perissa ( north) isnt the best.
