A great introduction to... - A great introduction to the island of Santorini with multiple picturesque stops. Our guide was personable and had local knowledge of the areas we visited. The 4-5 hour timeframe was perfect for a half-day excursion.

Totally worth the $$ - It was a wonderful experience! Nefeli was extremely knowledgeable about both the island’s history and modern day culture. We did a quick one day round trip from Athens to Santorini and doing this tour was the smartest decision. We got the highlights and saw most of the island. Highly recommend!

A wonderful tour of Santorini - We wanted to see as much of Santorini as is possible without renting a vehicle. This tour gave us the opportunity to do just that. Our guide was great!

Good Tour - It was a good tour and the guide was very sweet, but alittle hard to understand at times. The tour gave us the opportunity to see some sights on the way to Oia and learn about the grapes grown there.

A pitty - Unfortunately for us it was a rainy day. Of course this is not in our control, but there were 2 aspects of this tour that were not quite ok. First one is the visit in an old winery in Megalochori. There we were offered literally a sip of greek coffee, but with some pressure to order on top of that. Don't get me wrong, it is one thing to be offered a tasting of something and buy products, that could have been nice if the case. instead we are sitting in a winery and asked to order as it was our choice go there specifically for that. I ordered the plate of the day which was said is with local products, but in reality was with shop products and expensive for what it was. At a day, where you have limited time to see the island this was a complete loss of time and money.
Then we were supposed to see the "Balcony of Santorini" in Imerovigli and as it was raining heavily, the guide suggested going directly to Oia. This was ok, but would have been better if on the way back we would go to see it as the road anyways went the same way. Instead the guide was in a hurry to end his work time. We would have appreciated some flexibility...
