Surround Yourself With Breathtaking Views!

What a fun and breathtaking experience! We were picked up just around the corner from our hotel in a luxury van and deposited into the caring hands of Elena, George and Babis on the catamaran. The catamaran was clean and well kept with plenty of room to walk around the deck and see the views of Santorini from every vantage point. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, fun and accommodating to our every need. When the ride back to port got cold, Elena provided blankets for all. We got to swim in the crystal blue waters of the Aegean Sea, glide right by the volcano and the many mountains in the caldera. Elena made an authentic Greek meal for us and kept the wine, beer and soft drinks flowing. This was a fantastic way to see the caldera up close. We highly recommend this tour!

Definitely worth it

Victor was a very knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. I had a flying dress photo shoot scheduled for immediately after our morning tour ended, and he made special arrangements for us to be taxied to the next location to be sure we’d make it. He offered and everything worked out perfectly!! We tipped him extra for helping us pull off our ill-timed scheduled. Thanks, Victor!

A Magical Flying Dress Experience in Santorini

I recently visited Santorini during a Mediterranean cruise and knew I couldn’t pass up the once‑in‑a‑lifetime flying dress experience. After reading through the honest and transparent reviews on Viator, I felt confident choosing this operator and I’m so glad I did. Every step of the process made me feel welcomed, respected, and genuinely cared for. From the moment I booked, I received a warm message with clear instructions on where to meet my driver. Mike, my driver, set the tone immediately. He was friendly, kind, and took the time to walk me through what the experience would look like from start to finish. When I arrived, I met Frida and Helen the dream team. Frida became what I lovingly call my personal assistant. She made sure my hair and makeup were flawless, kept my dress flowing beautifully in the wind, held my shoes and personal items, and offered constant encouragement. Her energy was everything. Helen, my photographer, was in a class of her own. She made me feel confident, beautiful, and completely at ease. Her direction was gentle but effective, and her eye for detail is unmatched. I received my photos even faster than promised, and they are absolutely stunning. Now I just need to take time to review them, offer any final notes, and share the finished images with my family and friends. This experience exceeded every expectation. If you’re considering a flying dress shoot in Santorini, this is the team you want. They deliver professionalism, artistry, and genuine care from beginning to end.

Forget the Cable Car!!!

Didn't know what to expect. People said avoid the Cable Car at all costs. They were right. Getting off the cruise tender and then onto another boat that took us the other side of the island. From there Vasia our guide and John, our driver took us all through the island. The van held 10 of us and I was the perfect size versus the huge buses especially with the windy narrow cliff roads. The end was the best with the black Sand Beach. Perfect day!

A Wine Tour Must

Marina, our guide was exceptional. Her knowledge of viticulture, Santorini wines and history was top notch. She was engaging, informative, passionate about her craft, hilarious and overall the best guide we could have ever hoped to have for the wine tour! This tour was worth every euro! Amazing wines, heavy pours and delicious Greek food to sample as well. Would highly recommend this wine tour for your stay in Santorini.

We travel to Santorini...

We travel to Santorini for celebrations. The crew is very professional, caring and friendly. I can tell they make effort to do a good job. Unfortunately, due to the weather condition, we were not able to see the famous Santorini sunset. But the crew is still great! They can’t control the weather.

Unforgettable Flying Dress Experience in Santorini

Such an amazing experience from start to finish! Catia and the team were friendly, accommodating and always happy to help with my questions before the shoot. The hotel pickup and drop-off were very convenient, especially staying in Fira while the shoot was in Imerovigli. There were so many beautiful dresses to choose from and the team helped me get ready and made me feel comfortable throughout. The dress rental was included in the booking. V was my photographer, with Emmy assisting and they were both wonderful—friendly, efficient and flexible. V gave great posing suggestions, which was especially helpful. The views were stunning and I loved every minute of it! The short video included during the shoot was also such a lovely bonus. The photos were sent for selection within 3 days and they were very accommodating with my editing requests. I received the final photos earlier than the promised 14 days and they turned out beautiful! Highly recommend, especially for the ladies—it’s a must-do in Santorini! 💃🏻✨

An unforgettable Santorini experience!

We had such an amazing time on our luxury sailing catamaran sunset cruise! From beginning to end, the entire experience was wonderful and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. The catamaran was beautiful, extremely clean, and very well maintained. You can really tell the crew takes pride in keeping everything nice, both inside and out. The entire crew was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and our guide was an absolute sweetheart, truly beautiful inside and out! She made the experience even more special, and we really enjoyed learning about the history of Santorini along the way. The food was delicious, and we had such a fun group of people onboard. We love meeting new people when we travel, so getting to laugh, eat, drink, swim, snorkel, and enjoy the beautiful scenery together made the day even better. Swimming in the Aegean Sea and snorkeling were so much fun, and seeing Santorini from the water was absolutely breathtaking. And of course, ending the experience with that gorgeous Santorini sunset was the perfect way to finish the day. 🌅🇬🇷 The transportation was also very convenient. Because of where our hotel was located, the vehicle couldn’t come directly to us, so we had to walk a little to a nearby meeting point for pickup, but it honestly wasn’t a big deal at all. The transfers to and from the cruise went smoothly. Overall, this was such a fun, beautiful, and memorable experience. Great food, an amazing crew, beautiful views, swimming, snorkeling, history, new friends, and an unforgettable sunset 🌅 what more could you ask for?! I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Santorini! ❤️🇬🇷⛵️

Tour guide Vanessa was amazing!

We dd a four hour trip with Vanessa, she was very informative, knowledgeable and we loved her! She made the whole trip fun and we fell more in love with Santorini. She helped customise our 4 hours and it work out brilliantly. We were staying in Fira so for the tour we went to Oia, Imerovigli, red beach in Akrotiri and Monastery of Profitis Elias.

Beautiful sunset views and amazing food

This was a great experience and a beautiful view of the caldera. You do need to swim a bit to the hot spring water, so I would be cautious about getting in the water if you’re not a great swimmer. They provide floaties, so that is helpful. The food is amazing and the view of the sunset was spectacular. I had a great time and would definitely recommend this experience.
