Top Santorini Port Transfers - page 4

Can I just say WOW!!! This trip was amazing! Santorini is beautiful and is a must see. What we liked best about this tour was that we got to skip the cable car which can often have long lines and could be a problem with anyone who is afraid of heights. It goes straight up the mountain! After a quick tender ride to the island from the cruise ship, we boarded a ferry to get to our destination. We chose the "private" tour which I would highly recommend. This way you are able to taylor the trip into what your group likes best. We were able to spend some extra time shopping because that is what our group wanted to do. There were only 6 of us in the nice air conditioned van. Alex our driver and tour guide was amazing. He spoke great English and brought us to every beautiful site on the island. He explained about the history of things such as the churches and their blue domes. He brought us to where the shopping was and some great views of the blue domes, but since he was guiding us we bypassed a LOT of the long lines waiting to see these sites. It was hot even though it was June, so we brought our own personal fan which was helpful. We then went and had a beautiful lunch on one of their black beaches. We invited our guide to come and have lunch with us and he was grateful. It was actually great because he knew the people that worked there and was able to recommend great items on the menu. By the way, the menus are in Greek and English. In fact, almost everything in Greece has English everywhere and most people speak English. We finished with a trip to the highest point in Santorini which was cool. It was even higher than the planes taking off at the small airport nearby. This tour company has many vans and busses going out at one time and it was a guaranteed return time to catch the ferry back to the tender. Everything went off without a hitch. I would recommend this tour to anyone - especially the private tour.
