A great way to explore Santorini on a cruise stop!

Ken_C, Oct 2023

My wife and I, along with another couple booked the tour for our cruise stop in Santorini. Our Guide was on time, knowledgeable, personable and took us everywhere we had asked to go, even the monastery so my wife could obtain another bottle of olive oil! He explained the best way to explore Oia, dropped us off to wander through the streets and met us when finished. He brought us to a wonderful outside restaurant he suggested for lunch on the black sand beach, and to a winery he suggested for a tasting and tour. We paid for an all day tour and we got an all day tour, a full 8 hours with our guide! We highly recommend this way to explore Santorini. It was a wonderful and worthwhile experience, well worth the cost.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Mr Ken, Thanks a ton for the awesome 5-star review on our Santorini tour! We're thrilled you enjoyed it. Excited to welcome you back for more adventures! Cheers, Ioannis

See it All in a Day! Santorini Experience Extraordinaire.

Donald_S, Sep 2023

What a day! We began in Oia before the crowds arrived and were able to take pictures and enjoy the Blue Domes without a crush of visitors. Onto the highest points in the Island the Monastery towns the Red Beach and Black Beach where we enjoyed a lunch by the sea. Finished with a winery tour! Bill our guide was perfect in all respects knowledgeable helpful hints answered our many questions. One GREAT Guide! Highly recommend this experience if you want to see as much of Santorini as possible in a day!

Fantastic Experience

Giannis, was fantastic, although the weather was rainy and overcasted that did not take away from the amazing experience we had. Thank you Giannis!

OMG WOW SANTORINI WITH PAUL!!!

Carole_L, Jul 2022

JUNE 2022 5 stars!!! OMG what an AMAZING experience with Paul in Santorini Private day tour! PAUL is your man in Santorini… First, he picks us up in advance at our hotel with the luxury car and his lovely smile. We knew right away that he wanted to make this day the best of our Greece trip. We visited not only the planned trip from Viator, but Much more. Paul went the extra mile for us, stopped at places we wanted and came back safely to the hotel. Paul offered to book for us a Sunset Dinner at OIA or FIRA (THERA) and he would pick us up and return us to the Hotel. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? We surely accepted and enjoyed the lovely evening… Again, Paul was on time to pick us up to go to our dinner AND I asked a favour to go shopping for an art souvenir at Fira, which he did. Paul reserved the restaurant, (BEST SEAT at the restaurant!) offered us drinks and waited for us to finish our dinner to bring us back to the hotel…BUT WAIT, he did again the EXTRA MILE to have a Santorini Night Tour on our way back, which was SO BEAUTIFUL. To concluded, without Paul it would not been a GREAT Santorini memory… THANK YOU, PAUL, FOR MAKING OUR TRIP MEMORABLE! Karol
