Best Tour Guide Ever - The best part of this tour was Gregory, the tour guide. He is both driver and guide and amazing at both. There is a moderate amount of walking/climbing of this tour, but Gregory managed to make it do-able for everyone. The tour covers the entire island, but in particular concentrates on the Venetian influence. Gregory also discussed geology, environmental factors, economics, history and culture- all in a very understandable manner. This is the one tour you need and Gregory is the guide!

Amazing Castles, History, & Views! - Gregory was great as our both our driver and guide! It was a fun day seeing so many sites, and getting so much history about Greece! Castles were neat, music symposium was fun, wine museum was interesting, and of course views from Oia were spectacular! Seafood at recommended restaurant for lunch was in our opinion, pretty average. All in all, it was an awesome day and tour!

If you only have one day in Santorini, this is the tour that will help you experience it all! - This was the most comprehensive day tour I’ve ever taken—we literally saw the whole island and had so many great experiences! Loved that it was a small group in a comfortable van, and that Gregori, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the history here. We could all hear him, and his pace was good when we were moving about. Highlights were the interactive musical presentation and the swim at the black sand beach. The wine tasting stop was also very good. I would highly recommend this tour on Santorini, especially if you have limited time but want to see as much as possible.

Lovely Day in Santorini - We had a very full day on this tour which took us to the Venetian castles, we would not have found these on our own. Our guide was excellent and we learned a lot about the history of the island.
We visited the music symposium which was fun and stopped for lunch at the black beach, the sunset in Oia was beautiful we found a cafe with a view and got away from the crowds.
Thank you Georges and his driver for a lovely day.

Great Tour - Gregory was very knowledgeable about history and was a great guide. Enjoyed having lunch in Persia, the music symposium was a fun interactive experience. Really enjoyed visiting castle area in Emporio. The narrow streets and cave houses were cool to see. Oia at sunset was the last destination, but was not as enjoyable due to the overcrowding.

Don’t miss this tour - Gregory was an excellent guide. He gave us so much information and really made our day. The Symposian was the coolest part of the trip. So loved hearing the stories of the place and hearing the music. It was a great way to get an overview of Santorini on our first day here. A nicely paced trip with a variety of stops.
