They made a stressful situation right! Thank you!
The original tour was cancelled the night before and I had to scramble to find something else with same company. Being that Santorini is popular it truly made me nervous. Our original tour was to start at 9am got off ship early and then had to wait and call several times to make sure we hadn't been forgotten as this was a highlight of our cruise. When the tour guide went past their office they offered us the "private tour" as originally planned. The day turned out perfect and they did redeem themselves by giving us the Private experience. We still beat the crowds in many of the places we wanted to visit. Driver was great and even took us to a wonderful place for lunch. Thank you for making what was a stressful situation better by giving us what we wanted all along. My family enjoyed Santorini from sun up to sun down! Spectacular!

Highly Recommend for a Santorini Photoshoot
We had such a lovely experience with our flying dress photoshoot in Santorini! It was one of my bucket-list experiences, and I’m so glad we decided to do it. The photos turned out beautiful, and we absolutely love how they captured this special memory for us. The whole experience was worth it, and we’ll always have these photos to look back on. Thank you for making this experience so memorable! Highly recommend! 🤍📸

A Great Tour and an Incredible Guide
This was one of the best excursions I have taken I have taken in my life. Dimitri was an excellent guide. Both his love for and knowledge of Santorini was amazing. He was so personal and so professional. My wife and and our friend just kept taking about the day all day the next day. A top tier guide and excellent company.

Santorini half day highlights
Be aware that there are a lot of steps up and down—that’s true for Santorini and not only this tour.
Our guide, Theo, was a lovely person. Very good English, attentive to the people, and knowledgeable. Only six in our group so good opportunity to learn about each other too.
Recommend doing the optional wine tasting. Very enjoyable without any pressure to purchase.
Driver, Manos, was skilled and also kind.

Excellent overview and avoid the cable car
Very good pickup at the tender port, boat to different dock where we were met by mini-buses (12 guests per) and our guide Alex who gave excellent commentary about Santorini. A little history, a little about economics, culture, science, and the magnificent views.....He made sure we had health breaks and opportunity for snacks/food and some shopping. The driver did a super job on the twisty, narrow, crowded roads and returned us to the dock where we again boarded a boat to the tender port. This was an excellent tour for an overview of Santorini and avoiding the gondolo/cable car. Alex was attentive and knowledgeable and personable.

Experience of a Lifetime
This tour introduces you to many aspects of beautiful Santorini! Our guide was friendly and informative as she shared history, folklore, and modern day life about the island. Our driver was exceptional with navigating narrow streets and crazy traffic.

Trip seemed a little...
Trip seemed a little chaotic at first as meeting time changed and there was no one at the meeting point initially. Large group was put into a boat to transfer to dock avoiding the cable car but once we arrived we were all split into smaller luxury buses. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable and ensured the whole group were looked after. Great way to see Santorini in a short space of time. Would liked to have spent more time in places but the sheer numbers of people from the cruise ships made it impossible to get around quickly. Great restaurant recommendation from the guide too and we got back in perfect time for the boat to take us back to the tender.

Skipping the cable car...
Skipping the cable car was a big plus!
Bus was comfortable. I found we had a good enough of time in each town to explore a little. The restaurant they bring you to is on a beach, good food and gorgeously decorated. It was a good option for us who was on a cruise and the provider was very good with messaging to choose the best time for our tour to start based on the arrival time of our ship.

Wonderful tour. Taso was...
Wonderful tour. Taso was an excellent guide! We were only 2 of us but still he kept the tour and gave us a wonderful experience if entire Santorini. Very patient and kind. In addition to all the places listed online, he also took us to 2 local wineries, which was a unique experience. Thank you so much Taso for an excellent experience, we had a wonderful day going around Santorini!👍

Cruisers! You Want to Book this Excursion!
Avoid the cable car madness and book this tour while in Santorini! During our cruise there was a 4 hour queue to ride down to get to the pier to tender to the ship at the end of the day! Booking this tour ahead of time helped us avoid that whole debacle! Our tour guide Alex was so wonderful and helped make our time in Santorini special with his commentary about the history and ways of life on the island! He took us to all the places on our itinerary and made sure we got some great photos! The lunch spot he took us to called The 41 was delish, get the Rose on your Nose cocktail! Thanks Alex for the best time in Santorini!

Family hike Fira to Oia
Arsenios our guide was great. With a family of 6, from young to middle aged he kept a good pace engaged in interesting conversations for all of us and was knowledgeable of the ins and outs of history, landscape and picture taking. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous cable-car free tour in Santorini
Zeus and Ulysses provided a tour beyond belief. We learned about Greek culture and history, with a splash of humor all throughout the tour. This particular offering completely avoided the cable cars which is what we needed. The ship’s tender took us to small boats which delivered us to the Mercedes tour bus. A once-in-a lifetime experience not to be missed!
