Perfect duration for Thira - Very well organized and perfect for a good tour of Thira. Our guide Georgina was very knowledgeable about the island and explained in great detail, its geography, history and culture. We had plenty of time for photos in 3 different locations as well as a chance to sample the local wines. Highly recommended!

Santorini Bliss - The tour guide “George” and bus driver were a wonderful pair. George was so charming and entertaining. We learned a lot about the area and its history. The bus driver would provide comic relief. At times, our whole bus was roaring with laughter!!! George was very kind and considerate, even assisting an older couple on board with walking around and finding a pharmacy for medications that they needed. We had some free time to shop and walk around. Great photo opportunities throughout! A great introduction to Santorini!!! Highly recommend.

Great Tour and Guide - Beautiful place but lots of up and down hills. Leave time for the lines at the cable car. The best part of the trip was George, our tour guide. One of the nicest and informed people i have EVER had as a tour guide.

Santorini is the place to take tour! - Betty was an infectious person who drew us into the story with her genuine love of the land and its people. We learned a lot and grew to enjoy Santorini from her stories and knowledge. The views and the scenery were breathtaking. Our favorite stop.

The perfect way to see Santorini - We really enjoyed this tour, and would recommend it. Gina was our tour guide and spoke great English and gave a wonderful tour. We started in Fira, drove the island and went to Oie for the blue domes. It was crowded, but we knew that coming in. We got the 5th tender off our ship and it took 45 minutes to get up to Fira. Gina was right on time and our driver was great. Excellent memories of Santorini! Our tour was 3 hours, and I would probably try for 4 next time. Would love to see the beaches.
