We got to see all the main attractions within a few hours thanks to our guide. We could choose where to go and the guide gave some suggestions also. She showed us where the best viewpoints were and we even went up to the top of the hill in the center of the island where you could see all around. Very pleased

Our tour guide yannis was very accommodating whatever we wanted to do he was very versatile and flexible and hospitable.
Took us to sights off the beaten path that most tour groups don't go to and we really enjoyed our day.
Recommend him highly ask for him specifically if you're gonna be on this tour.

Elektra was fantastic. She allowed us to gear our tour to what we wanted to see while still giving helpful advice. We told her when we wanted to head back to cruise ship and she made sure we were done on time. Santorini had some places that was packed with tourists and she just tried to steer us to the highlights. Would definitely recommend .

It was the best way to see all of Santorini in 5 hours. Costos was very knowledgeable and passionate about all of Santortini and its history. I didn't want to miss all of the highlights before we left. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Jenny was fantastic. gave us great choices and let us customize our tour. knowledgeable, friendly and well spoken. The shuttle was was top shelf and very comfortable. highly recommend this tour.
next stop in Bodrum was a different story with a different tour. felt that we were ripped off with a huge restaurant bill from a place recommended by guide. ask for pricing before you eat

This tour was very disappointing. It was more of a very expensive uber- take the bus. The guide was obviously disappointed that we did not want to do the wineries. He walked very fast and we felt like we had to run to keep up, thus not being able to enjoy views. After we stopped running and he had to wait for us, he still didn’t adjust his pace.
There was very little information given besides pointing out restaurants then telling us it would take months to get a reservation for. He did ask if we had any questions, but it was difficult to think of questions without context.
He did offer to take photos but just snapped off 7 in a row very quickly saying ok I took 7 one should be good ( they weren’t). At first we thought he was counting to the photo 1,2,3 but no he was just telling us he was taking the photo.
On our way back to the meeting place he was more friendly. We arrived back at our meeting place at least a 1/2 early.
