What are people saying about Santorini

Andy_C, Jun 2026

Best thing we did in Santorini

Marina was the best guide throughout our journey to the 3 wineries. She was so funny, knowledgeable and made learning really accessible to novice and experts alike. The view from Santo was a lovely cap to the night. You have snacks throughout that keep you satiated as the night goes on. 10/10, would recommend to anyone visiting Santorini and a fan of wine. We highly recommend- it was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Marina!

Amazing day in Santorini!

We had an amazing day with our guide Thanos. Easy pick up and great communication planning the activity. The owner George is very nice and recommended what might be a good 8hour day. We saw so many spots all over the island and then had a beautiful lunch and cabana chill time at the black beach in the end. At the beach, Thabos helped organize a free spot for us to relax which was beautiful!!!! We learned a lot of history about the island and also how people and locals live here. Our guide was funny and told stories that kept our teenagers entertained the whole time. We are traveling on a cruise but saved so much booking directly with this tour guide group. Amazing day in Santorini!

Exclusive Santorini Flying Dress Photoshoot with Pickup

Christie_V, Jun 2026

Cruise ship guest /flying dress w/ family!

Was cruise ship passenger. They email u link for pickup at to of the cable car. You walk 1 min to “CY Teck” next to “Caldera yachting” and “cannabis shop volcano”. That’s the closest place where cars are allowed to drive. The streets do not have names which is very unique.. use Google Maps to find these locations for pick up. There is no name on the car but they did send the driver‘s name and license plate number which helps. It just depends if you have Internet access or cellular to get the email about the pick up or message on this Vistor. OK now that that is out of the way this was an absolutely amazing experience and I will post a still shot from the video that she airdropped me right after the shoot. The owner took our photos. There were 100 gallons to choose from and my daughter who is 11 and my husband hopped into a few photos with me so we could have family photos and that was no extra charge. I knew what color I wanted to wear ahead of time so they call or coordinated with me. It was absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so professional. There’s an actual studio shop where you pick out the dresses with pretty marble floors and air-conditioning. It was very lovely. There will be moments that you take pictures without your shoes on and the ground is a bit hot, but everything was so gorgeous. I highly recommend this experience. Even my husband loved it. Can’t wait for the pics in 4 days! They recommended a restaurant after they drove us back to the pick up location. We ate there did some shopping and then went back to the cruise ship and our day was done.

Best way to see Santorini

Absolutely amazing experience. We got in early to Santorini and were able to move our tour up a few hours. Our driver, Theo, met us promptly in a well kept Mercedes and took us on a 3 hour adventure of the highlights of Santorini. He was friendly, informative and engaging. We could not have asked for a better day on the island. The tour was worth every penny and then some. Highly recommend.

George is the best!

The tour was amazing and our tour guide, George, was the best tour guide we had during our stay in Greece. George was patient, kind, knew all the best places to visit on the island, and was extremely prompt in weaving us through the busy streets of Santorini. George is the best, Santorini is absolutely gorgeous, and we would recommend this tour and tour guide to any future visitors!

Perfect Gentleman and Tour Guide

We had the pleasure of being driven by Chris. Our tour was tailored to my daughter's desire to take post graduation photos in multiple locations. Chris not only indulged us, but he was also a wonderful cameraman. He went above and beyond to get those pics for us. He also provided some history of the island while being a perfect gentleman. We highly recommend Chris and this personalized tour.

Highly Recommend.

This experience was amazing. All details of navigating through Santorini were executed well. Victor (tour guide) and Odi (driver) were a great team. Victor was very knowledgeable about the island and spoke perfect English. He made it easy, comfortable and fun to learn so many facts and to gain appreciation for such a beautiful place.

Santorini Classic Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfers

Karissa_S, Jun 2026

Had a great time sailing

We had an amazing time on the catamaran cruise! The weather was perfect and the hosts were great. There was grilled chicken and spaghetti pasta not BBQ but it was good nevertheless. Please be also mindful that there isn't self-serve drinks (water, soda or wine). You have to ask each time you want something to drink so I advice bringing your own container of water or any other drink of your preference. The stops along the way were a highlight. Lastly, shoes are not allowed on the boat so wear a pair you can easily slip on and off.

Santorini Day Cruise

The crew took so much pride and care of the boat and it showed. Very clean. Towels were fresh, dry & clean. Gave detailed instructions for how to get around, where things were, how to use sunning decks, safety protocols for the passengers so everyone can have fun but not get hurt. Service excellent - crew very attentive. Food fresh & delicious

Excellent experience, highly recommend!

Excellent experience, highly recommend! The team was very accommodating. We were nervous about getting back to our cruise ship for the last tender and they made sure we had direct transportation after the catamaran. We were incredibly impressed with their service. The catamaran was really nice, clean, they cooked fantastic food, and taught us about all the locations we stopped at. Our boys, ages 13 & 11, had a great day!

Best Santorini tour

This was an amazing experience, exactly as described. We were on the boat, Seven Seas. The captain was excellent, funny, and a great dancer. Our first mate Elias and host Katarina were attentive and very knowledgeable about the area. Lunch was fantastic, with grilled chicken, fresh shrimp, sausage, salad, etc. lots of healthy options. The food was as good as anything we ate in Athens or Santorini. We got to swim in multiple spots, visited the “hot “ springs, saw wild goats, learned lots about the area, and snorkeled. Really happy we decided to do this tour. We both agreed it was one of our favorite parts of Santorini.
