  • How you help the local community by joining this tour: - By visiting off-the-beaten-path places, you are helping over-tourism get reduced, especially in Santorini’s main towns. Instead, during this tour, collaboration with smaller local communities that follow a more traditional way of life is supported. - This tour encourages conservation around cultural heritage as you visit an unknown underground church of great cultural importance in a tiny village, as well, the elderly keyholder who preserves the church is supported. - Young artists and local shop owners are promoted, helping them to preserve local art, increase their income during Greece’s economic problems, and promote the creativity of new generations. - During your visit to a historic factory turned into a museum, you support a local foundation responsible for preserving Santorini’s unique culture.
  • Food Allergies: Unless you suffer from multiple, combined food allergies, or unless you are a vegan, we will figure it out. Vegetarians are welcome on all tours.
  • Please wear comfortable shoes for walking.
  • In general, there are few dress restrictions in Europe and dress codes are similar to those you are used to at home. Please note though that in many churches modest dress is required; no shorts or skimpy tops are permitted.
  • If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides a tip – though not compulsory – is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.
  • This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
