What are people saying about Santorini

Candacy_B, Oct 2026

Excellent Half-Day Santorini Tour with Akis

We had a wonderful experience on our Half-Day Santorini Private Tour with Akis. The day was extremely well organized and started right on time, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. Akis was incredibly knowledgeable about Greek history and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. He was also very considerate, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves along the way. It was a fantastic way to experience Santorini, and we truly appreciated Akis’s professionalism, knowledge, and warm hospitality. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable private tour of Santorini!

Exclusive Santorini Flying Dress Photoshoot with Pickup

Afua_G, Oct 2026

The highlight of our Santorini trip

Everything about this experience was 10 out of 10. From the moment we met the team, I felt uplifted and supported. The stylist was warm and encouraging, and the photographer was wonderful. She and her assistant made the early start completely worth it, kept things fun, and gave great direction. She even put my husband to work taking photos of me, which is a memory I will never forget. Logistics were easy. We met at the pickup spot at 8:10am for an 8:30 start, and getting there from the cruise ship was simple. If you're sailing in, I'd recommend booking one of the earlier time slots. Two tips. If you want to wear a bra, make sure it's a proper strapless or seamless one, because I heard some women were upset that theirs showed. I chose to go without, trusted the stylist, and felt completely comfortable. Also, the location is right by the blue domes, so if you bring someone with you, take advantage of being in such a photo-friendly spot. The sample photos I've already seen look amazing. This shoot made our time in Santorini unforgettable. Book it, you won't regret it. 10 out of 10!

Relaxing and Beautiful Experience

Such a beautiful and relaxing experience!! The crew mates (Fotini and Koulis) were so friendly, took great care of us, and made sure we knew about the places we visited - even though the group was spread out across the boat at times, they made sure we all knew where we we were and/or seeing. Out captain was Kostas, and he got us around safely. The lunch was amazing - Koulis made it right there on the boat: grilled chicken, shrimp, muscles in a delicious sauce, Greek salad, pasta, bread, and tzatziki. Later, we had fruit. Of course, the water and the sites were great and beautiful too! Being able to relax in the sun, shade, or swim after lunch felt perfect. Overall, it was a great experience - one I recommend for a beautiful and relaxing day at sea. Special shout out to out to Fotini - she was AWESOME!

Well worth it!

A perfect tour - well organised, not rushed. Our guide Ioanna spoke easily understood English wand gave interesting information about the history, area and points of interest combined with her great sense of humour! We avoided the cable car queues as we were taken by a large boat to a nearby port. We then transferred to a luxury minibus carefully driven by Tasos with max 20 people. We travelled around the island stopping off for a while for photo opportunities, shopping and a beautiful lunch by the sea. Then back to the large boat back to port to get our tender to the ship. So glad we took this tour. Seriously well worth it and v stress free!

Drivers picked us up at...

Drivers picked us up at our hotel and handed us off to the boat staff when we arrived at the dock. The crew was excellent and took care of all our needs on the boat. The food was good, the scenery lovely, and we weren’t out too long. The vans were at the dock when we returned and they got us back to our hotel quickly. Great way to spend an evening!

Santorini - fabulous tour!

Absolutely fantastic tour of Santorini. Babis was fun, knowledgeable and got us around to all of the best sites and sceneries. Took us from Fira to Oia, to an old cave house and to the front of the line with all the best photo spots. Couldn't recommend highly enough. We had a 3 hr tour and then Babis suggested an end spot at Santo Wines - what a wonderful suggestion. Tasting plate + wines was sensational and the views were amazing. Santorini is gorgeous, great people and it honestly looks like every insta photo you've ever seen. Magical place!

Wonderful half day wine tour!

My husband and I went on this tour as part of our honeymoon and it was a terrific tour. They easily picked us up and dropped us back off at our hotel in Oia. Mary was a friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide. We visited three wineries, which all had something unique about them (either the wine and/or the views). And we were with a small friendly group of other travelers. The tour was a great way to spend a half a day exploring more of Santorini outside the major cities. I would highly recommend!

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!

Can’t miss this Santorini Experience by water

Excellent . The communication was superb and ideal for cruisers. We were picked up near the top of the cable cars . Staff is very nice and accommodating. Great lunch which they cooked onboard. We stopped in three areas to swim. It was one of our best experiences in Greece!
