There were eight of us in all and we felt we got value for money - We really enjoyed the tour because we saw the caldera from many different locations, and saw different sights on the southern portion of the tour. A highlight was exploring the ancient ruins. Yani and George did a great job.

Minas did great! - Minas did a great job, and we enjoyed seeing the relaxed off-caldera side of the island. Friendly, well prepared, well informed, great English, and good time.

Very Professional and Excellent Customer Service - We booked with Santorini Tours as a stop from our cruise. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip due to Covid, but I wanted to review because I was so impressed with the good prices and the quick and professional communication with Santorini Tours. I also wanted to write that this tour company truly believe in customer satisfaction. After we cancelled, Santorini Tours refunded our deposit even though due to our late cancellation, they did not have to do so. I hope to rebook next year and will definitely book a tour with Santorini Tours.

Wonderful Experience! - Our guide was everything we could have hoped for. Interesting, knowledgeable, funny and energetic. The tour was designed to cover a wide variety of interesting locations and experiences. Loved the fact that our tour day ended with a wine tasting on the cliffs overlooking that magnificent caldera! I would recommend this group to anyone. Thank you!

Great laughs with great views, look no further - I booked my family's vacation months in advance.this means that I typically have many questions and repeat emails for tour companies. Tatiana was my main correspondence with the company and she was great! She would reply promptly and give me extensive suggestions regarding which tour I wanted to take. Once on the tour, our experience only got better. This was the best tour of our 3 week European adventure. Our driver Antonios and guide Stelios were hilarious and treated us like family. They offered unique anecdotes and rich details of Santorini which enhanced our time there. Additionally, they were very nice and stopped for us to grab a quick breakfast. 10/10 recommend this tour.
