What are people saying about Santorini

Lisa_E, Jun 2026

A fantastic experience

From the booking experience to being picked up and took to the most amazing village of Imerovigli, where our dresser and photographer were waiting for us was fantastic, Renata talked us through the different styles of dresses we could choose from the toughest part was picking a colour as there were so many beautiful dresses to choose from. Once dressed we walked to the first location which was absolutely breathtaking. We were made to feel comfortable and at ease with our lovely photographer Elenor, I would recommend going early as it was getting very hot by the time we had finished and busy with other photographers waiting for the same shot. It was a fabulous experience and we throughly enjoyed being talked through how to pose, we look forward to receiving our photos. We would definitely recommend this fantastic opportunity to have some great photos whilst in Santorini

Our guide made a busy Island seem intimate and personal! Beautiful day!

Very clean Transport and professional semi Private tour! We thoroughly enjoyed the day, learned a lot about the island, but more importantly loved being guided around by a local who seem to know everyone we saw. I grew up on a small island off the coast of North Carolina and it totally gave me the same vibes, even though it was a very busy day in Santorini, we were able to find pockets of peace and incredible pictures! Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour - ask for Christos!

My husband and I had a personal tour with Christos. We had already completed two tours in the morning, and Christos ensured our tour with him only included new places we hadn’t already seen. His local knowledge of the “must dos” made for an unforgettable experience. Do the tour and ask for him!

Amazing Santorini Tour, Dimitri best tour guide!!

Our experience with Dimitri was truly one of the highlights of our time in Santorini and, without question, one of the best experiences our family has ever had. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. What made the experience so special was that he never pressured us into a fixed itinerary or demanded anything. Instead, he offered thoughtful suggestions and let us help shape the day, making everything feel personal and authentic. Dimitri’s knowledge and passion for Santorini were incredible. The history he shared about the vineyards was fascinating and made us appreciate the island on a much deeper level. He took us to places beyond the typical tourist spots, allowing us to experience the true beauty and culture of Santorini in a way that made us feel less like visitors and more like people actually living and experiencing the island. Every part of the tour felt thoughtful and special. The bakery stop was amazing, the food was delicious, the views were unforgettable, and throughout it all, Dimitri made sure my family was comfortable and taken care of. Even the car ride felt safe and relaxing. As a family traveling together, especially with little ones, that level of care meant everything to us. What touched us the most, and something we will never forget, happened at the end of the tour. Completely unexpected, Dimitri gave us a beautiful Greek “evil eye” gift, a symbol of protection and good fortune. It may seem small to some, but to us, it meant so much. It made us feel appreciated, valued, and like we were more than just another tour group. We truly felt a connection, like we had spent the day with someone who genuinely cared about us and wanted us to leave with something meaningful. Dimitri, thank you for taking such amazing care of my family, for the incredible views, unforgettable memories, and for making this experience feel so personal. Your kindness, professionalism, and heart truly stood out. We will absolutely be looking forward to seeing you again the next time we come back to Santorini. Thank you for everything!

Would reccomend to anyone!

We loved this trip - despite the choppy waters! The crew were all fantastic, espcially Dina the hostess who was so lovely, helped take photos shared lots of information with the guests and kept our glasses full. I was really impressed with the food - we had Prawns, mussels, BBQ chicken, salad, breads and Tzatzki, it was all lovely and much better than any boat trip I have been on before on holidays. It was a lovely end to our Honeymoon

SKIP CABLE CAR® Santorini for Cruise Ships with Boat Transfers

Great Santorini Experience and a Wonderful Guide

We really enjoyed this tour and felt it was a great way to experience Santorini from a cruise ship. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and very down to earth. She shared a lot of interesting information about the island, its history, and local culture, which made the day both enjoyable and informative. One of the biggest advantages was avoiding the cable car lines. While you still need to coordinate your cruise tender arrival and wait for the transfer boat at your scheduled tour time, it was still much smoother than dealing with the often lengthy cable car queues. Santorini was very busy during our visit, and the group was a little larger than we expected, which made it challenging at times to stay together and hear everything. That said, our guide did an excellent job managing the group and keeping things organized. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, we saw a lot in a relatively short amount of time, and we left feeling like we made the most of our day on the island. Overall, a very enjoyable tour that we would happily recommend to other cruise passengers.

Must Do!

This is a must-do when in Santorini. The 5-hour tour is the perfect length to see the island and not feel rushed, plus the local knowledge from our driver, Xenophón, was very interesting and helpful in guiding us through the rest of our time on the island. We especially enjoyed seeing the old village of Megalohori.

The Best Sunset Cruise

Hands down, the best boat experience that I’ve been a part of to date. Elena and the entire crew were personable, fun, & really created community with total strangers in little amount of time. The food and rest of the crew were also amazing! The sunset was the icing on the cake. I can't put the feeling into words; you just have to experience it. :)

An Absolute Must-Do Cruise Excursion in Santorini!

If you are visiting Santorini on a cruise and want a flawless, stress-free, and deeply enriching day, book this tour immediately! From start to finish, our guide went above and beyond to make our short time on the island absolutely magical. 📸 Perfect Views & Insider Knowledge Our guide was an absolute wealth of information. He knew every single detail about the history, culture, and geography of the island, making the drive incredibly entertaining and thorough. But what really set him apart was his eye for photography! He knew every single hidden spot to get those iconic, breathtaking Santorini photos, and he even took the pictures for us so we could actually all be in them together. 🏖️ VIP Experience at the Black Sand Beach After showing us the best sights, he took us down to the island's famous black sand beach for an incredible afternoon. He had everything completely coordinated for us—we had the perfect beach spot waiting with comfortable chairs, umbrellas, fresh towels, and plenty of cold water to stay hydrated. For lunch, he treated us to a fabulous meal right on the water at Galini. The food, the views, and the atmosphere were spectacular, making it the perfect place to relax and take in the Aegean sea. 🚢 The Verdict We didn't have to worry about a single detail, which is exactly what you want when you're on a tight cruise schedule. It was an incredibly entertaining, thorough, and high-end experience. We cannot recommend this tour guide and this excursion enough!

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.

Santorini Wine Adventure with 12 Wine Tastings, Tapas and Sunset

Lynn_R, Jun 2026

5 star winery tour

This tour was such a fantastic experience. We were picked up on time in a luxurious mini bus. We were a group of 10. Mary, our guide, was friendly, welcoming and put everyone at ease from the start. Mary taught us all about the different wines we tried at the 3 wineries. The wines were all well worth tasting and the tapas were plentiful and well paired to the wines. We were lucky in that our group got on well and conversation flowed. The final winery, Santos, had a stunning sunset view. We are so glad we booked! Again, thank you to Mary who was educational but also great company as she is funny and quick witted. Don’t hesitate - great experience
