THE best Santorini tour

Sue_S, Oct 2023

We saw & experienced EVERYTHING including the amazing sunset at Oia - our guide was outstanding - highly knowledgeable yet engaging AND got us back to the cable car / our ship well on time

Missed excursion

Mary_C, Sep 2023

We missed this excursion. We had to be tendered from the cruise ship which took a long time and the line for the cable cars were extremely long (3 hour wait). More information should be provided for this excursion so this doesn't happen to other people.

Private tour in Santorini

Ken_C, Aug 2023

Private tour for our group of 10 was awesome!! Costos our driver took us to all the best spots in Santorini and returned us to our cruise ship in a timely fashion. Great visit in Santorini and would definitely book this private tour again.

Great and funny guide, enjoyed every minute

Laszlo_V, Jul 2023

We had a private tour of Santorini. I am sad it did not last longer, but the guide was very pleasant and helpful, took us everywhere our short time allowed.

Trip, Not a Tour

Lisa_G, May 2023

Be aware that this is a half day trip and not a tour. Our driver was great getting us around the island to see things but he was not a guide explaining or educating us much. However it was much better than renting a car and dealing with traffic and logistics. The driver was friendly and spoke very good English.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate your understanding that our service is a half-day trip rather than a guided tour. We're glad that our driver was able to efficiently navigate the island and allow you to see the sights. We apologize if the driver didn't provide as much explanation or education as expected. We will take note of your feedback to ensure clearer communication about the nature of our service. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Ideal tour of Santorini

Barry_B, Apr 2023

The tour guides were very knowledgeable about all of Santorini. They knew the history dating back 4,000 years to present day. The whole tour was very relaxed with plenty of time to see the sights and have refreshments.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much for your review you are amazing people! We hope see you again!

Amazing Experience

Henry_J, Aug 2020

This was an amazing experience with so much history. There were multiple stops to show sights of significance and stories to make you envision them. The driver was great, gave us all the ‘secrets’ of Santorini.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Dear Henry We learned that you were a wonderful company and we had a great time with you! Thanks for your comment, we hope to see you again in the future.

Great alternative to driving on your own

Aaftab_M, Feb 2020

Panos was great and really explained things well! As we couldn't spend much time at the Black beach he added another stop for us.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

thank you very much for your comment, we have a really happy day with great people we look forward to seeing you again! Thank you very much!!

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!

Miki_C, Oct 2019

Elainie was great! Native to Santorini, very knowledgeable, great portioning of time between stops, beautiful sunset in Oia (definitely the best part of the day). Can't wait to go back!

Response from Host, Oct 2019

We are really glad that you enjoy your day with us. We hope you will visit us again!! Best regards ...

Excellent!

Jackie_F, Sep 2019

We enjoyed this service very much. The mini-van is clean and beautiful, the driver is very good, and the guide is great - he waited for us at the Cable Car's exit on top, then took us to the mini-van, along the way, he was excellent in talking (and not talking) about the island. He even escorted us back to the cable car line. Overall, great 5-star experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Dear David Thank you a lot for Review We are really glad that you enjoy your day with us. We hope you will visit us again!! Best regard Team Pigaia Travel

Absolutely Awesome Tour!

Magali_M, Jul 2019

We were greeted by the tour guide at the exit of the cable car, as promised. Short walk to bus where our tour guide began to explain Santorini's rich history and where we were going and what to see/expect. She was absolutely wonderful and even took our family pictures at points of interest. This one was surely one of my favorite tours of all time. :)

Mitigé

Cindy_D, May 2022

Personnel sympathique, souriant. Mini bus confortable. Une étape de notre excursion n’a pas été faite. Puis mauvaise organisation et expérience lors du sunset à Oia. Si c’était à refaire j’aurais économisé 130€. Ça ne vaut pas le prix payé.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Mitige Thanks for your comment we will take it seriously although we are afraid that there is something wrong with your review. The problem arose because your chose an excursion available in English only. Your spoke French, as a result of which your did not understand the instructions correctly and we could not help you enough. We hope at some point to upload an excursion in French and meet you again!
