Trip of a life time! - This was one of the best trips/tours to see Santorini. Kostas's experience and knowledge of the island were outstanding. We loved all the sites we visited and all the group pictures Kostas took for us. This is one of my favorite islands and plan to revisit. Thank you for having such a great vendor on the island.

Beautiful Santorini in a Few Hours - This is a great half day tour and I think a much better way to see Santorini than the cruise excursions. We were challenged in that our ship was only there for about 10 hours, and there’s a lot to see. We were fortunate to get the first tender off the ship (this is very important) and arrived earlier than planned, even after accounting for the cable car ride up to Fira. Our wonderful driver and guide, Zafiris, was in communication with us and was able to accommodate the early start. The earlier start helps as so many passengers are coming off the cruise ships that it gets very busy on the island. Zafiris lives on the island with his family and his knowledge and educational background in history provided many interesting insights throughout the day. We were able to work with Zafiris to plan the day around what we wanted to see, taking in his advice on traffic and local sights. We saw Fira, the famous blue domed churches (in Ola and also on the way to Ola), the monastery on the highest point on the island (great views!), a vineyard and some stops along the coast to soak in the spectacular scenery. We also visited Megalochori in the south end of the island which is a typical town where the local folks live. If I visit again I would spend less time in Ola (it’s beautiful and wonderful but there are so many tourists there at the same time!) and more time in Megalochori which was lovely, peaceful and much less crowded. It was a town were I felt I got a much better feel for how the permanent residents of Santorini live and work. As I said, there’s just not enough time to see everything in the few hours off the ship so a flexible and personal tour like this is a great way to fit in what interests you most. We concluded our half day with lunch in Fira at a restaurant recommended by Zafiris before getting into the cable car line (very long!) to return to the ship. It was a great first visit to Santorini; I hope to see it again.

Perfect Tour with a great Guide - We loved our tour with Simply Santorini and Babis. Babis communicated the pick up in great detail. We had a great tour of the Island with picturesque views, a black sand beach and some of his personal experiences and history. We ended the tour with a visit to the Santo Winery for lunch and another gorgeous view. We all had a great time.

Wonderful overview of the island - We had a wonderful time with Zafiris, our guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and we learned so much about the island in just 4 short hours. It was the perfect amount of time to get a taste of the entire island. We were able to visit Oia, Fira, Imerovigli, and a small village towards the southern tip with time in each location to independently walk and shop. I would absolutely recommend this! We booked last minute and are so happy we did!

Great way to see Santorini - This was an incredible tour! Thomas was a great source of knowledge but also with an incredible sense of humor. We loved the combination of history, current culture, hidden spots, and just plain humor and personality. It made for a great day that we will remember always.

Santorini Drive Tour - Our tour guide was not friendly , did not provide an enjoyable experience. In addition, a 5 hour drive tour is way to LONG. We insisted on ending the tour 2 hours early. Santorini looks like Mars; brown, brown & more brown. I actually think Viator should provide a refund
