Perfect Day in Santorini

Flexible guide made our day perfect. Showed us the whole island. Stopped for photos recommended a great spot for lunch. Ended at black beach. Excellent day.

Exceptional experience

Debra_C, Nov 2023

This private day trip is worth every penny that we paid. Alex, our guide patiently waited for us because we had to take the tender from our cruise ship and the line was long at the cable car. We were able to see what we wanted to see within the short period we were in Santorini. Our guide was very knowledgeable with the history of Santorini. I would recommend this to anybody who only has a few hours to spend in Santorini.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your excellent review! We understand that arriving from a cruise ship can sometimes involve unexpected delays with the tender boats and cable car, so we’re delighted that Alex’s patience and flexibility helped you make the most of your limited time in Santorini. It’s wonderful to hear that you visited everything you wanted and enjoyed learning about the island’s history. Thank you for your recommendation!

A great day trip for cruisers

Chris_M, Jun 2023

Our guide, Angelo, was fantastic. We hit the sites and he also took us to a few “off the beaten track” places (literally!). He was knowledgeable, friendly, and good with the kids. We enjoyed our day thoroughly. One word of caution to anyone coming in on a cruise: if there are multiple ships tendering, the line for the cable car is outrageous (was 2.5 hours our morning). This company communicated well and waited for us, even though we ended up 90 minutes late.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Chris, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for your kind words! We’re truly delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great day exploring Santorini. It was a pleasure showing you not only the island’s highlights but also some hidden spots away from the usual paths. We always enjoy creating experiences that combine the famous sights with places that feel more local and authentic. We especially appreciate your comments regarding communication and timing. Cruise arrivals in Santorini can sometimes be unpredictable, especially when multiple ships are arriving at the same time, and we always do our best to stay flexible and make sure our guests enjoy a stress-free experience. We’re also very happy to hear that the kids enjoyed the day too — that means a lot to us. Thank you again for choosing Angels Travel. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you back to Santorini in the future! Warm regards, Angelo & Angels Travel Team
