Great experience, highly recommended! - We have arranged in Santorini the “1 Day English Tour, with Wine Tasting and Sunset in Oia” in February, an ideal month to avoid the rigors of the Greek summer. The tour has even exceeded our expectations especially for the excellent work of our guide, Elisa, attentive and knowledgeable. It has made us aware of interesting places on the island less frequented by tourism and, as a finale, we have enjoyed an unforgettable sunset from Oia without compromising, as there were few visitors on the island these days.

Fantastic tour but get prepared! - Lovely trip. Yannis (apologies if this isn't the correct spelling) and our fantastic bus driver (again apologies for the lack of name) were amazing. Really knowledgeable and kind.
Top tips:
Get to the bus stop early - around 5 minutes walk from Fira bus station, head down the hill, across the road and look for the NST bus. Check with the driver if you're not sure.
Take cash! Thoroughly favoured by locals and easier for the vineyard and shopping. Card is accepted but it seems locals prefer it
Take water with you and bring a bag to carry any purchases with you
Make sure you're back to the bus before the time they say, that's the time they want to leave!
Toilets are €1 so have cash for that too
Overall a lovely trip, highly recommended but a few bits to prepare for

Great day out, with lots... - Great day out, with lots of stops to see all of Santorini. Very full on packed day out and great value for money. Our tour guide Yannis was really insightful and our driver was brilliant too.
The only downside was not getting picked up from the hotel so it meant having to get buses either side which added to the day.

Beautiful - Great trip, saw loads of the island. Great wine tasting too. Our guide Suzanna was very informative. Stefano our drive was very good.
My only comment was that the tour is shorter at the end of the season as the sun sets earlier.

Great tour of Santorini - It's a great tour, covering a lot of tourist attractions on Santorini. Our driver and guide, Nicos and Yanis, were very good and attentive with our needs, such as the walking pace or answering questions. The only problem was with the pick-up point. Due to some miscommunication from the central office, we waited at an intersection for about 45 minutes until someone showed up.

Satisfying Santorini - I was very excited to reserve this excursion, although it took some effort to make sure pick up was available – eventually we did receive an email to meet at a spot close to our hotel – the pickup was on time in a small van that transferred to a bus. The tour was as advertised with stops at all destinations – it was a physical tour which was challenging to this seasoned (senior) citizen with moderate mobility - the walk through the Pyrgos Kallistis and the top of Castelli of Emporio were tasking , even more so than the acropolis because of uneven landscape and uneven step formation – yet I made it – lunched at the scenic black beach ( a little on the expensive side- paying for the view ) – not much of a wine tasting – one white, one red, one sweet liqueur -off to Oia – since we were off season a crowd, but not oppressive – stopped at KooKoo for drinks had to sit outside – so windy and cool but the staff brought my daughter and I blankets – how sweet – this area is so expected Santorini – the views awesome – we had to wait in line for the picture with the blue dome backgrounds ( there are several spots) but we had the time and went down to the parking lot for the sunset – a little mix up with the transport back but eventually returned to drop off point -dark – glad there were others returning with us – all in all – a good long day

I didn't get a chance to... - I didn't get a chance to go. I showed up at 10:45am but I later seen an email that they were picking up at 10:30. The tour started at 11 or 11:30. I asked for a refund and I received a notice saying it wasn't approved so I just lost 60 p,us dollars on this tour. They need to confirm right after booking the pick up times. I unfortunately didn't have any wifi so by time I seen it they had come and gone. I sent a message once I seen it with no reply. Be careful when booking and make sure you have the times they are picking up cause doesn't look like they give refunds and who wants to waste there money.

This has to be the worst excursion I have ever had. - Poor customer service, dishonest driver, and disinterested tour guide. We had to take a taxi to the second location since the driver decided to lie and say we were not at the bus stop. (We approched him and he shook his head and walked away) Customer service stopped answering my phone calls but luckily the cab driver volunteered to call them and his calls were answered right away. Tour guide kept losing half of the group and was too busy playing on his phone to pay attention to us. Entire "tour" is basically driving from one point to the next and being told when to meet back at the bus.

Terrible - We booked the trip on 14th Nov and it showed on the website that the start time is 11.30 in Fira, so I booked the taxi to get there on time from Oia, it turned out that the tour started 9.10,no info from the tour operator at all, they sent us a message at 10.48 after the taxi driver called them to confirm the meeting point! It seems they do not really care about people, horrible, waiting for the refund
