Perfect tour in Santorini! - Victor was amazing! This was a great tour. He was knowledgeable and very accommodating. This was a last minute tour that we booked from our cruise ship. It is hands down one of the best tour experiences we had on our vacation. They waited on the cruise ship passengers even when we were late getting off the ship. I wasn’t too sure about booking an excursion not through the cruise ship, but this was a winner. They really thought about the little things that make touring enjoyable. The bus was very cool. They gave complimentary waters after a really hot stop. The bus dropped us in one spot and picked us up at another so we didn’t need to really double back. I liked that a lot. Victor gave great recommendations for food, shopping and sweets. Oh and best of all he made sure we all had the best photos! He went as far as to take pictures for us. Definitely worth every penny!

Highlights of Santorini - We had a great tour. Victor did a great job directing us on this tour. He was very knowledgeable about the area and did a great job showing us the best places to take pictures. He even took some photos of us. The roads are narrow. Our driver did a great job navigating the narrow streets.

Good tour, bad experience of Santorini! - We enjoyed our tour of Santorini with Thomas. There was some confusion about what our tour covered so be sure to discuss this as soon as you start the tour to be sure you hit the areas you want to hit…like the beach. Our guide did a great job getting us around and sharing the history of Santorini. Unfortunately, the island lost power and getting back to our ship was a nightmare…this was no fault of the tour company. The cable car was down so we had to walk the terribly craggy winding path down the hill. This proved to be a really bad experience as it was blistering hot and the path was lined with hundreds of mistreated transport mules, very sad sight. The heat was intense and the path dangerous, many older people developed heat stroke and some slipped and fell on the path. Above all please, please DO NOT patronize the mule transport service, these mules are forced to work in deplorable conditions! We would have never known this had we not been forced by the power failure to use the walkway. My family and I will not return to Santorini until the mule abuse stops!
