What are people saying about Santorini

Mary_A, Oct 2026

Good Experience

I had a wonderful experience with this flying dress photoshoot! There were so many dresses to choose from in different colors and styles, and the staff was incredibly helpful in finding a dress and silhouette that complemented my body shape. I had no preferred color or style going in, so I really appreciated their guidance. I also loved how attentive the team was to everyone's individual preferences. Whether someone wanted more coverage for their legs or back, they took the time to offer recommendations and find options that worked for each person. The photographer and assistant were equally attentive, helping us manage our dresses to keep them from getting wet on the damp ground. Even some of the poses I wasn't sure about at first ended up being favorites once I saw my photos! My biggest tip: If you're booking a solo session or a small group of four or fewer, book as early as possible, or consider a later sunset session. Several flying dress photography companies operate in the same general area, and the locations and pathways can get crowded. We saw bridal and family photoshoots happening in the same space, so timing can make a difference in your overall experience. Overall, the team was helpful, attentive, and accommodating. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for beautiful, memorable photos!

The Perfect Day In Santorini

We had an amazing tour of Santorini today! We were able to see all the main highlights, enjoy some shopping, and finish with a fantastic late lunch right on the beach. The small-group experience made it even better, and our tour guide, Victor, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day so enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour and Victor!

A real highlight of our Santorini trip! The pickup from our hotel in Oia was easy, choosing the dress at the studio was fun, and V and G made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the start. They gave great direction and found beautiful spots with the blue domes and caldera views behind us. We booked the 4:30pm slot in October. Can't wait to see the final photos. Highly recommend!

Don't Skip Akrotiri...It's Amazing!!

To see the island in a relatively short period of time, it is very helpful to have a driver and guide. Our main goals were to see Oia and the ancient city of Akrotiri, which are on opposite sides of the island. The tour was customizable to our wishes since it was a private tour. Our guide was a great driver and very friendly but did not provide a ton of historical information. I would have liked more information as we were driving the island. We booked a water taxi to/from the Fira cruise tender port. This saved a LOT of time by not lining up for the cable car. However, the water taxi driver made a mistake and took our party along with another party of 8, who had actually booked a different taxi. We had to stand the whole time and couldn't see anything. For 120 Euros to go 20 minutes, that's an expensive mistake on their part and no follow up was given, not even an apology.

Great tour with Akis

Well done tour by a local resident named Akis who really knew the history of Santorini and all the places we visited. So informative with locations we might not have come across on our own, including wonderful photo opportunities. Plenty of stops to allow you to stretch your legs and grab a drink or something to eat. It was a fun time - highly recommend!

Amazing day with great food

What a fantastic day from start to finish! The pick-up from Oia was seamless, with just a short 25-minute journey straight from our hotel to the port. The crew were lovely — friendly, warm and clearly very experienced. The food was delicious, and the whole experience was so relaxing. We met some lovely people from the US and Australia, and swimming in the sea was just perfect. A truly wonderful day and an experience we would highly recommend!

We had an amazing time on Endless Blue on the morning cruise. Manos and crew were very hospitable and shared some info about each stop. There were 3 swimming stops, about 15 mins at the first 2 and 1 hr at the last stop.They cooked a great lunch and ensured that everyone always had a drink in hand. Highly recommend!

Everything we expected in the day!

After a shaky start because of rain in the morning, we were skeptical that this would take place and be enjoyable. We were so wrong! The weather cleared off, we swam, we ate, we took in the beautiful scenery and had an absolutely wonderful day. The captain and crew took exceptionally good care of us and fed us so well! The Driver was clever and knowledgeable about the scenery and fill us in on a few private spots that were not on other tours. A great day all around!
