Private tour in Santorini - Private tour for our group of 10 was awesome!! Costos our driver took us to all the best spots in Santorini and returned us to our cruise ship in a timely fashion. Great visit in Santorini and would definitely book this private tour again.

Great and funny guide, enjoyed every minute - We had a private tour of Santorini. I am sad it did not last longer, but the guide was very pleasant and helpful, took us everywhere our short time allowed.

Ideal tour of Santorini - The tour guides were very knowledgeable about all of Santorini. They knew the history dating back 4,000 years to present day. The whole tour was very relaxed with plenty of time to see the sights and have refreshments.

Great island and sunset tour! - We had a great time touring the island. Our guide and driver were fantastic, as well as very patient and accommodating to our slower mobility. Our guide was very knowledgeable, providing information and in answering our questions. We enjoyed our tour very much and would recommend to others.

Amazing Experience - This was an amazing experience with so much history. There were multiple stops to show sights of significance and stories to make you envision them. The driver was great, gave us all the ‘secrets’ of Santorini.

Great alternative to driving on your own - Panos was great and really explained things well! As we couldn't spend much time at the Black beach he added another stop for us.

Great for a cruise tour - My husband & I booked this tour as an expensive Shore excursion option. It was a great find on trip advisor. My mother in law was with. She has some mobility issues. Santorini has lots of steps, cobblestone and hills. Our guide was very accommodating to every one on the tour ( there were 9 of us, including a teenager-from the same cruise) he picked us up at the exit to the Cable car, at the top of Mountain. He took us to all the main areas of the island. He was also very knowledgeable! Explained so much about the history, and how people live there now. He pointed us to great food, beaches & we made the sunset in Oia!! ( that is a must see!!) I highly recommend this tour to anyone’s house has just a day here and wants to see the main points.

Trip, Not a Tour - Be aware that this is a half day trip and not a tour. Our driver was great getting us around the island to see things but he was not a guide explaining or educating us much. However it was much better than renting a car and dealing with traffic and logistics. The driver was friendly and spoke very good English.

Missed excursion - We missed this excursion. We had to be tendered from the cruise ship which took a long time and the line for the cable cars were extremely long (3 hour wait). More information should be provided for this excursion so this doesn't happen to other people.
