This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Fotis, was great. It was the perfect mix of walking and driving in a comfortable, nice, air conditioned van. They even picked us up from our location we were staying at and dropped us back off, it was so convenient. My husband and I both thought the tour was great.

Fotis was a great tour guide and showed us most of the island. The first stop was at an amazing coffee shop and bakery to start the tour which he bought us a drink and pastry. We liked ending the tour in Oía as there was plenty to see there. I recommend this tour.

Great tour of the island

Catherine_P, Apr 2026
This is such a great tour that gives you a chance to tour most of the island's important areas, without having to worry about logistics. Our guide, Nafeli, was fantastic. The company contacted us to offer the sunset tour instead due to low turn-out for the morning spot. Communication was fantastic. If you have limited time on the island, I'd really recommend taking this tour.

Fantastic tour!

Our guide Nephele did a GREAT job leading our group on a tour of Santorini! She was very knowledgeable of the history, culture and villages on the island. She was wonderfully patient with our two rambunctious and talkative grandsons. We couldn’t recommend this tour more enthusiastically!!

Amazing Santorini

This was a wonderful tour from start to finish. Our guide, Gregory, was the highlight—he is so knowledgeable about the island's history and best spots. He was very kind and went out of his way to be helpful. The van was also very clean and well-maintained, which made the travel between sights very pleasant. Definitely worth it!"

An awesome tour that took us to some of the key points of interest across Santorini. The tour was made all the better by our entertaining and informative guide, Fotis and our awesome driver Phillip. A great way to see the island, learn the history and gain an understanding of the culture.

Great day out on the island

Lee_H, Nov 2025
Great tour, learning about the island and the history while viewing the many sights. Fotis was a great guide. Very good day out.

Fantastic and enjoyable tour.

Remesh_K, Nov 2025
This trip was worth the money. Our guide Gregory was very friendly and narrated the spots really well.. Even though it was a half day tour, we got a good view of Santorini in all its scenic beauty. A complimentary treat at Lolita’s icecream in Oia was delicious. We were able to take some stunning pictures of the sunset at Oia. Overall we had a very enjoyable tour of the island.

Eat your way through the streets of Cantania

Vincent_D, Oct 2025
It was well organized, very thoughtout. Guide was extremely knowledgeable. Fanas and Phil were very professional.

Not Cruise ship friendly

jbyrnes, Oct 2025
Don’t book if arriving by cruise ship. Our ship was held up by customs and it is a tender port. Got to meeting point 15 minute s late. Tour did not wait. I am NEVER late but this was beyond our control. The tour description led us to believe it was cruise friendly—-NOT !!! It was a nightmare! The island itself was magnificent.

Must Do!!

Bhumika_D, Oct 2025
We had a great time learning about the history of Santorini from a very knowledgeable tour guide. The very skilled driver scaled the mountainous terrain with ease while our hearts pounded away!! Even treated us to an island pastry & coffee. Enjoyed the experience very much.

Great tour !!!

Bharat_K, Oct 2025
Best experience with this tour. Our guide (Fitos, not sure the name) & our van driver Costas, were also very nice & helpful. I would recommend this tour.

Mikonos Island tour

fbaggetta, Oct 2025
Carlos was fantastic. He was the best guide we have had on our 10 days in Greece. His pick up communication was excellent, he brought us all around the Island and gave us tips about what to do with the rest of our day. I highly recommend this tour!

Tour was great but getting back to the cruise ship was horrible

Mary_M, Oct 2025
We loved the tour. Fiero our tour guide and Phillip our driver were amazing. We loved the stops and the history provided. Our problem arose on Santorini where the steps down to the cruise port were closed off. With 5 cruise ships in port, everyone had to take the cable car down - it took 2 hours from getting to the end of the line and stand and slowly walk up to get on the cable car. Ridiculous!

It was Amazing!! The tour...

Claire_H, Oct 2025
Our tour guide, Gregory, was magnificent! He shared so much information about the history, the geography and the people of Santorini. And, our driver, Costas, was incredible at maneuvering through the more crowded areas with care. I would highly recommend.
