LOTS OF WALKING on uneven cobblestone! Our tour guide was amazing. She was kind and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of beautiful places and had a little time to shop on our own, after our "surprise".

Excellent guide who explained so much of the history of Santorini
We had the best time today!!! Such an incredible experience. We learned so much about the beautiful island of Santorini!!! 😊 thank you!!!
The tour guide Nathalie spoke excellent English and knows everything about this area. She walked with the group every where and was friendly and courteous to everybody . Tour was a good introduction of Santorini and highlighted most of the famous points . We highly recommend this tour to people who are first time in Santorini.
Our experience was amazing as we felt we saw most of the highlights of the island in this tour. Emmanuela was informative and patient. We also got lucky with the weather and rains were clear for us to enjoy the beautiful views and able to get wonderful photos!
Emma was a knowledgeable and accommodating local guide. Who took us to all the great spots for photos and also offered to take the photos for you. Nothing was too much trouble. Always making sure everyone was OK with the steps and heat.
Neflesa (sp?) Was an excellent ans enthusiastic tourguide. Loved all our stops and the scenery was awesome! She explained the history at each stop and told us the Greek way about festivals. We all thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it! Amazing day! Sandy and Jerry!😊
Awesome 5 hour tour in Santorini. Emma our tour guide was Fantastic! Very friendly and knowledgeable of all the areas we visited. Costa our driver was also very good. Nice clean air conditioned People Mover. We only had limited time being on our cruise but we weren’t disappointed. Highly recommend. Love to return one day.
Very nice to know about the history of the island and to know the Greece culture. The islands rulers before. How the locals cultivating winery’s.
It’s was good we had a great time the views where incredible the young girl who was our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable If your on a cruise take the AM tour to leave plenty of time for return to cruise ship
This was a really perfect way to see the highlights of Santorini in an efficient way. this tour will give you a good sense of where you might wanna go back and other places you might wanna visit on the island. Our guide was wonderful. She grew up on Santorini, love the island and was able to share a lot of interesting history and culture. She kept us on time and we had opportunities to take a lot of pictures and even spend an hour in OIA on our own. our driver was great as well.
This is a good overview of Santorini. Our guide was a local and spoke excellent English. I would have liked to have longer in the traditional village and less time in Oar.
very good tour would have liked a bit more time in oia,nice to see around the island and some of the villages
Did the morning version of this tour. Great and informative tour of the key places and sites with apt time at each location, other than at Oia, to fully experience it. The guide was very friendly and truly enjoyed her work. She provided all details, facts and stories in a very enthusiast manner. Only 4 stars due to not enough time provided to enjoy Oia. The provided 1 hour meant we ended up rushing from one crowded attraction to another just to get them in. Definitely need to increase this stop to 2 hours. Alternatively, start the tour half an hour earlier and make Oia the very 1st stop so then can avoid the afternoon crowds and see the sites in a more relaxed manner. Otherwise, a great tour that we enjoyed immensely.
A great way to see the island. Check the cruise schedule to make sure there’s not too many boats in, when you do the trip. We went with one ship in, and it was still busy in Oia.
It was very nice and organized. The tour guide and driver were so sweet, knowledgeable, and humorous. Nethelee and Phillip were amazing. They picked us up from the hotel, and we were able to explore a lot of each city. While in the van she was still explaining the history of Santoriniz
An amazing tour guide and driver.the guide was very informative and was able to answer questions that were throw at him there were a number or stops in the different villages the gentle walks and lots of information from the guide.
Fun trip overall. Lots to see. Decent van. Good guide. Lots of info. Good ice cream. It was snout right at each stop as far as time. Cost was decent for what we got to see. It’s a zoo at the oia sunset!
Pick up was punctual Sofia was a lovely tour guide very informative. Four stops at four very picturesque villages, a great way to see some of the highlights of the island if you are not sure about navigating the very winding roads and hills by car.
Our guide was great. Very friendly and knowledgable. We spent about the right amount of time in each stop
Awesome tour. I’m not sure what our tour guide was but she was a native to Santorini and an exceptional tour guide. We did the half day walking tour or Santorini. It was incredibly informative. So picturesque!
Gave us a good understanding of the history of the island. Got to see several beautiful sights and we were able to grab dinner in Oia.
We had a nice experience in this tour. Our tour guide Nefeli was very knowledgeable of the history of Santorini. We had a wonderful time.
What an amazing afternoon trip we had, it was very well organised and we seen some beautiful places. Our guide Nefeli was a wealth of information and made the tour both interesting and fun, and we were treated to an ice cream too. Thank you also to our driver Costas who got us through those winding roads safely and was on time at every stop. A definite trip to add to your itinerary
Nejili was extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of wonderful anecdotal information about her hometown. Philip, the driver, was friendly and safe.
We enjoyed the half day excursion with a very informative tour guide, who was able to combine historical information with fun facts throughout the tour. The driver was very friendly, and skilled when manouvering the vehicle on narrow, winding roads.
It was excellent and the views.. WOW
We had a great tour of the island with Gregory. He explained everything very well.Took photos for us, It was a wonderful day.
We had a wonderful day! Our guide was brilliant. She was very knowledgable about the island and its history. We learnt a lot from her which made the trip so much more enjoyable. We got some fantastic photos and will take this amazing trip In our memory for ever! Thank you so much for such a brilliant day! Jo and Liz
Driver was great and the tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly and down to earth. I recommend anyone who wants to see Santorini via walking and vehicle riding
Such a good trip picked up early by Costas and then collected guide Sara and other guests only 10 of us so easy to get about. Sara was so lovely and told us so much about the island and places we visited in a fun and friendly way. Such a great trip got a real feel for the beautiful island. Definitely recommend, thanks for great day.
It was one of the best tours we have ever experienced. Safeli was an amazing knowledgeable guide and always made it easier for us to get on and off van after walking . Top notch service from start to finish.
Perfect if you’re short on time and want to get in a little history plus hit some main spots while in Santorini. We booked at last minute and appreciated the transfer pick and return to our hotel. Neth was very knowledgeable and fun! The only thing I would recommend is a built in stop for bathroom break
Nefili our tour guide was outstanding! Vey friendly and informative. We saw Santorini through her eyes. It was amazing.
A very enjoyable afternoon/evening trip around the island. Our guide was Nefeli and she was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things Santorini. Our driver Costas was superb and negotiated some challenging roads with ease. A well organised tour with toilet stops and a welcome ice cream included. Highly recommend this trip to anyone on their first visit to the island.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel before and after the tour. Our Guide Gregory was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and engaging with a great sense of humour. The driver was Philip who did a great job driving through some very tricky roads. The tour was excellent with lots of interesting historical information about Santorini. I’d highly recommend this tour.
Excellent tour! One of the best we’ve ever taken with Viator. The guide Nefeli was very knowledgeable, entertaining, answered all my questions (and I have a lot 😊), and provided extensive information about the island’s nature, history, religions, and cousin. The driver Filipp amazed me, the driver with 45 years of experience, with his skills expertly navigating narrow streets and sharp turns, even in heavy traffic. All in all, the tour is highly recommended!
Expect to be amazed and climb some stares It's a moderate walk with many scenic views and the tour guide was engaging and humorous
This was all around an amazing tour. Nefeli, our tour guide, was a born and raised “Santorinian”. The tour took us to different towns on the island. Nefeli had so much interesting information about the island culture, history and geography. I would highly recommend this tour. Our driver Kostas was caucious and experienced driver.
You get a chance to see and learn about the island. We went places I would never have visited on my own.
We had an incredible half‑day tour yesterday. Our guide was truly exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about what she does. She brought every stop to life and made the experience feel effortless and memorable. The sights themselves were absolutely spectacular, but her energy and expertise elevated the entire day. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic time and leaned so much about Santorini from our travel guide, a warm, welcoming young lady who has lived here all of her life. She gave detailed information about each destination, explained things as we passed them in transit and shared stories of her family history and Greek dishes to try. The tour finished with a refreshing complimentary gelato. We felt the time and money was well spent on doing this tour on our first visit to Santorini.
Gregory was a fantastic tour guide! They shared interesting facts about the islands and was very personable.
Brilliant day. Fantastically organised and guide was one of best we have had. Excellent knowledge, personality and went out of her way to make everything perfect. Would rate 6 out of 5ifIcould.
Our guide was wonderful and imparted a great deal about Santorini history and its people. The tour brought us to various points on the island which were all interesting.
It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Both the driver and the guide were absolutely amazing—professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We learned so many fascinating details about Santorini’s history, culture, and beautiful landmarks. The guide made the experience even more special with interesting stories and explanations throughout the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt very well taken care of. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Santorini!
