Amazing day in Santorini - We had the best day in beautiful Santorini thanks to Viator’s excellent customer service. Our driver had car trouble and Viator quickly rescheduled us with another driver. George arrived within 30 minutes in a beautiful Mercedes sedan. Due to our delay, he extended our tour and we saw the entire island. It was a fabulous day! George is so knowledgeable, kind, fun and entertaining. Thank you George for the wonderful memories. You are one of a kind! See you next time!! (Reviewed at: 2024-08-04)
