We didn't rent a car but wanted to as much as possible while we were here. We were shown the major towns and decided which one we wanted to go back to the next day on our own.

You will learn so much about Santorini and get amazing views and experience. Ride was all time very smooth and always on time. Our tour guide George was the coolest guy in Santorini. Glad we had a chance to meet him and get amazing time in this beautiful island.

If you want experience a taste of the whole island, this the tour for you. Our guide was great and was organized.
The only thing to keep in mind is to give yourself some extra time to make it up the cable car. We had to line up for well over an hour. The line up got the return was even longer, so we decided to walk down the path which is shared with donkies. It took us about 40 minutes and It added to the enjoyable experience. If you decide to walk up, it’s a difficult trek. Don’t attempt it unless you are in good physical condition.
We were given some free time and were never rushed to see some incredible sights.

The sights he took us to was great and when we talked to others that don other Tours they only got to see half what we did due to group size and bus size.

Billy was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the highest point on the island and and the small real ( not touristy) village. I also loved seeing the black sand beach. It was a beautiful day!

Serendipity to end up with a private tour instead of a group! Harris was very knowledgeable, patient, flexible, and entertaining! He took us to dozens of the most spectacular view points on the island for pictures! (Dress nice for pictures!) To minimize up hill walking, he dropped us off close to scenic points, parked down the hill, and quickly returned to guide us. The food at a restaurant he recommended on the black beach after our tour was outstanding! Highly recommend Harris for your tour!

Picturesque Santorini can only be discovered with a tour guide willing to take you everywhere. We joined another family and explored the island with Michael, our tour guide. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and archaeology of the city. We witnessed culture and explored hidden gems only known to locals. The tour was very informative, catering to both casual visitors and those with a deeper interest in history. I recommend Michael to all age groups wanting to know Santorini.
Brett_R, May 2024
Great tour. Our driver, Happiness, was very prompt and courteous. Kia, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Both did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Elsa_G, May 2024
Well organized tour.
We were shuttled and also walked around the island to see all the highlights. Small group of 12 with the best guide Yannis.
Great tour!
Johnny_N, May 2024
Knowledge of the tour guide was extremely interesting plus he added quite a bit of humor to make the trip more enjoyable.
Timothy_J, May 2024
Very nice tour! Our guide was entertaining and informative. We learned a lot about the history Santorini.
Cheri_B, May 2024
We had a fantastic experience! Our driver was able to change our time to meet our needs and did a great job keeping us safe and taking us to the most photographed locations with beautiful view's! Thank you so much Yonny!

Mary, our tour guide, was awesome. Because the island was starting to close down, the tour turned into a private one because it was just 2 couples. We toured the entire island. What a great experience.
NeilK, Oct 2023
The tour and was interesting and took us to some interesting spots with some terrific views. Unfortunately we were never taken to the wine tastings, nor was it offered.
Esther_C, Oct 2023
We had a private tour. Fotios Tsevas was very nice and accomodating. Went to places that were not crowded with other tourists.
Peter_S, Oct 2023
Outstanding tour! Our guide Mary was super! We saw the whole island in a very comfortable van! Great value for the money!
Chris_G, Oct 2023
Wonderful guide who was from the island. Very knowledgeable and catered the tour to the desires of the group. Everything was excellent.
Jane_H, Sep 2023
Our tour guide was excellent..I felt like we saw the island and the wine tasting at the end was great. If you take the tour, believe the stories about the wait for the cable car. We were very glad that we had booked our tour for 10AM and allowed plenty of extra time. Same with return. Would do again!
Suzette_N, Sep 2023
Yannis gave us a delightful tour of the sights of Santorini which is very picturesque. Unfortunately, due to a 2 hour line for the cable car for our return to the ship forced us to use the steps which were quite steep, slippery, and full of donkey droppings.
Bernardette_S, Aug 2023
Our guide Sofia was super communicative and friendly. She was patient with our time and tried to fit in as much as possible. She was extremely knowledgeable with all the questions we asked. We had an incredible trip it was everything the description offered and more.
Donald_P, Jun 2023
Had a wonderful time touring the island with Mary and Kostas. She knew all the back walkways and alleyways to see the highlights - several blue-domed churches - and interesting historical sights through Fira and Oia.
Then spent time walking through the small and unique town of Megalachori, followed by a scenic view from the top of Mesa Vuono.
Finished with an exceptional lunch and wine tasting at Karamolegos Winery and a quick stop to view the black sand beach.
Mary was a wonderful guide and hostess with many insights to life and living in Santorini.
Penny_R, Jun 2023
She walked too fast and couldn't always hear what she was saying. Enjoyed the wine tasting experience. Santorini is a very special place.
Linda_S, Jun 2023
We originally we going to both ride on one atv, but the day before I decided I’d like to have my own. I’m so glad I did. It was so much fun. The tour lasts about 5 hrs., and it included bottled water and lunch. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and offers pickup and drop off services within a certain area from their location.
We’ve done a lot of tours over many years, and we both thought this was the most fun we have had on any tour.

Our shore excursion was perfect. Our guide took us to beautiful locations and helped all of us take great photographs. The pace was good and we covered all the highlights promised. Guide and driver excellent.
Cam_C, Nov 2022
This tour was amazing and Ted was the BEST tour guide!! He was fun, happy, and very knowledgeable!! If you are going, request Ted since he is the best!!
Jacqueline_A, Nov 2022
Our small tour was very good, with a good tour guide. The highlight was the visit to the Estate Argyros Winery for sure. I would have given this tour 5 stars but the choice of restaurant (Mario's) was unfortunately the wrong place at the wrong time, being a public holiday and all families not working, they were all out to celebrate at lunchtime. It was filled with long tables of locals so we did not receive the service or food that was expected. Very unfortunate. BUT the tour and tour guide were very good. I would recommend this tour .....
