If you are wanting to curate memories, you must ask for Vaso! She is amazing. She will treat you like a very special guest. You will see the best views of all that Santorini has to offer.

We booked the private tour when we arrived to Santorini and are so glad that we did - Vaso was our guide and did a phenomenal job! She met us in our hotel lobby and took us all over the island and customized the tour to us. We started at the Monastery which is stunning and then went all the way over to Oia with stops in between. She was so sweet and shared great information along the way - her English was perfect and she had a very clean car. I highly recommend this tour and would request Vaso for the best guide in Santorini!

If you only have 1 day in Santorini, be sure to book a private tour! We were able to explore all over the island We went to the Akrotiri, Oia, Red Beach, Black Beach, and every where in between! Vaso was our driver/tour guide, and she made our time in Santorini the best day taking us all over the island and returning us on time to go back down the lift to the cruise tender on time. She was a great photographer, too. I just wish it wouldn’t have been so overcast that day. However, Vaso’s sweet personality made up for it all. The four of us enjoyed this experience in Santorini to the fullest! We loved it all!

We had a rough start to our tour due to technical issues, but Viator and the operator resolved this. We had a wonderful tour guide, Vaso, she customized a tour and took us around the whole island. She knew hidden spots and arranged timing to avoid the cruise ship crowds. She took pictures and we learned about Greek culture. A positive experience- highly recommend if you want a private tour rather than a bus.

Our driver, Chris was great, totally customizing our tour for the day as requested. Waited for us to get up the cable car. He made a great recommendation for dinner and dropped us off for shopping on the way to the cable car. The lines to get up and down the cable car are horrendously long. 90-120 minutes each way wait. I stongly recommend a boat to another port to avoid wasting the day.

Entre le descriptif de cette visite sur le site Viator et la réalité, il y a u grand pas.
Visite avec un chauffeur seulement qui a fait ce qu il a pu en termes de partage de connaissances. Chauffeur très agréable et disponible au demeurant. Pas de guide. Nous visitions seuls. Ayant fait confiance à Viator à tort, nous n avions pas nos guides touristiques avec nous. Nous avons tout repris au retour à notre hôtel. Pas d eau non plus.
Nous sommes très déçus. Prix bien élevé comparé au niveau.
Nous ne recommandons pas cette visite.
