Santorini Day Tour with Sunset in Oia

Posted By : Christopher_R
Akrotiri was very good. Wine tasting and time at Perrissa also good. Oia stay was longer than expected. Main issue was the cramped bus. The trips between places weren't long which was great but even though the bus was new and seats comfortable the leg room was shocking and I'm not a big person. Don't go on this if you're anyway close to 6 foot.

Most memorable experience from our Santorini stay, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Nico is an expert chauffeur and Christina (who knows FIVE languages), is so passionate about her job! This tour covers all the main highlights of Santorini! My husband and I would both highly recommend this for any and all visitors! Super professional, very kind, and extremely informative! Thank you for an amazing day from the bottom of our hearts! - Rebekah and Chris

This trip was a repeat of the trip I did in October 2022 with my daughter. I wanted my husband to see everything. The visit Akrotiri ancient site was very brilliant as was y first trip. We then went for lunch which was OK. The next visit was to the ancient village of Emporio which was not good at all. On my previous trip we had nearly an hour and half and saw all the old houses with the lovely views from the terrace. On this trip we were given only half an hour from leaving the coach and the rep marched us up to the top of the hill to see the "castle" and that was it. We then went to the wine tasting. On my last visit we were taken to the wine museum and given lots of time to look round the museum before being taken into a room for the wine tatsting. This time it was absolute rubbish. It was not the wine museum, we were taken into a room, I have no idea where, and given a taste of three wines then marched out again, all in about 20 minutes. We next were taken to Oia to see the sunset but were dropped off by our guide and told to go back to the bus in 4 hours. It was cold, thundering and lightening and we had to spend 4 hours there with no chance of a sunset so our only alternative was to go into shops and restaurants. The last time I went to Oia we were only there for 1 hour which was plenty of time to see the non existent sunset. All in all, the only part of this trip worth seeing was Akrotiri. I have to say that the guide was very knowlegeable but the tour itself was a waste of time.

They knew we were on a cruise ship. Insufficient time given to arrive at the meeting place for tour. We informed them 3 times of the cruise ship arrival time including the day before we arrived. They gave us instructions once we disembarked of how to get to the meeting place from the port. From the cruise ship port we had to get on a cable car and then walk to the meeting point. We arrived at port at 10am. We were informed the tour bus left at 10:05. We have requested a full refund. Poor planning on the part of the tour company. Never Again!

Our guide, Giannis (John) and driver, Nikos, were great! Giannis was very engaging and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information as we moved between the stops. The excavation at Akritiri was guided by Maria. She gave us a lot of details. Some people chose to walk to the beach instead. The Medeival castle in Emporio is a must see! I've never seen anything like it. Perissa was a great stop for lunch, shopping and Gelato. The wine tasting was fine. It was a fun opportunity to chat with other people. And of course Oia was great. We even got a pro tip from the guide for an affordable place to have dinner and watch the sunset! There was a bonus stop at the Prophet St Elias Monastary where the views were breathtaking. This is don't miss tour!! You get to really see the diversity of Santorini with amazing information the whole time! A you get far more than you pay for!

The archeological site was a true highlight and so was the sunset and dinner evening in Oi. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable as was the archeologist in the museum. The shops are quaint and we also enjoyed Black beach!

Picked up on time, and the driver (Pedro) had my name on the list, no problems. Our guide Kristina was very personable and talked enthusiastically about the sights in a relaxed friendly manner, without being overbearing. It was a long day but very worthwhile. Oia was extremely busy with queues to take photos of landmarks. Top tip, have a brief walk around Oia, then adjourn to the restaurant opposite where the coach parks for the best view of the sunset, away from the crowds.

Well, where do I start. So let's go back to before I ever git to Greece. I get a phone call from the company and they set my pick up point at a bakery. Three days before the tour I discover that this bakery is about 18 km away from where I am staying. So I went into my booking and found a pick up spot only about 600m away. I even got a confirmation email which I have attached to this review. So, on the night before the tour I sent an email wanting to make sure the pick up was correct. And guess what? No reply. So the morning of the tour we were to be picked up at 10:05am. We got there at 9:45am. 10:05 came and went and no bus. Well there were busses but not for us. So, 10:45 arrives and we decided to call it a loss (yes we stood there for an hour). During this time I tried to call with no success. I have even emailed since then with no reply. Do I expect to see a refund? Ya right! Now, I don't know if this is a normal incident for this company and an isolated incident. But that was my experience and I hope yours is better.

Went to various places in Santorini in this one day tour. Unfortunately we went during their Easter holiday, an archeoligical site was closed.
