Highly recommend - It seems like a long time frame, but it is scheduled out perfectly. We saw the entire island. So many beautiful places and you learn many interesting facts about the island. Lots of free time at the beach and in Oia. Highly recommend and Kim was great!

A Fabulous Day! - I would highly recommend this tour! 8 ladies traveled from the US. Our travel tastes and interests vary. We were all very pleased with the tour and very knowledgeable guide. It was an incredible experience with many learning opportunities. Excellent value too Small tip: High elevation in the mountains. Recommend that individuals afraid of heights sit in the aisle seat during the ride into the mountains. Incredibly beautiful at the top though!

Santorini’s Charm - The tour offers a blend of cultural exploration, stunning landscapes, and iconic sunset views. It includes visits to picturesque villages like Pyrgos and Megalochori, wine tasting, and panoramic views of the caldera. The tour culminates in Oia, where you witness the magical sunset. An amazing experience!

Santorini history tour - The Tour Company was very informative and the communication was excellent. The guide tour had plenty knowledge of the island history, we enjoyed every stop on the way. The funniest part was the driver that dropped us at the hotel (Dimitri) He really knows how to party 😁.

Lovely - This tour was absolutely amazing. Very well organized, responsive and on time. Our tour guide was very informative and the bus was very comfortable not to mention our driver wohoo! The streets are pretty narrow and high and he did an awesome job driving us around with safety. Oia village is beautiful! Taking pictures at the famous 3 domes can be hectic since everyone wants a picture there. We had to come back later closure to departure and we still caught a line but was short. You don’t want to miss a quick swim at Perissa beach make sure you take swim suite. Water is very nice and refreshing. Wish we had more time there! You can always take a taxi or bus ride there if you have the time.
