Jacob and Christos were the best hosts ever. The wine tasting and lunch locations were wonderful. And you can never go wrong with sunset in Oia

We truly enjoyed our tour! Jacob was amazing, very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. He made the experience so much more enjoyable, and our tour wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without him. The driver also did an awesome job and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip. We highly recommend this tour!
Yonis Guide was extremely Superb 👌 and Driver Nick has super experienced driving skills, Both did great job 👏
The tour was absolutely wonderful. George — because I keep forgetting the Greek spelling 😭 — and Youhan were an easy 10/10. Both incredibly knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely lovely throughout. Everything was explained so well that even I couldn’t get confused, which deserves its own award honestly. And special mention to Youhan, who unexpectedly added “professional photographer extraordinaire” to the tour package. At this point, I came for sightseeing and left with a full photoshoot album 😂📸
I didn't get a chance to go. I showed up at 10:45am but I later seen an email that they were picking up at 10:30. The tour started at 11 or 11:30. I asked for a refund and I received a notice saying it wasn't approved so I just lost 60 p,us dollars on this tour. They need to confirm right after booking the pick up times. I unfortunately didn't have any wifi so by time I seen it they had come and gone. I sent a message once I seen it with no reply. Be careful when booking and make sure you have the times they are picking up cause doesn't look like they give refunds and who wants to waste there money.
Lovely trip. Yannis (apologies if this isn't the correct spelling) and our fantastic bus driver (again apologies for the lack of name) were amazing. Really knowledgeable and kind. Top tips: Get to the bus stop early - around 5 minutes walk from Fira bus station, head down the hill, across the road and look for the NST bus. Check with the driver if you're not sure. Take cash! Thoroughly favoured by locals and easier for the vineyard and shopping. Card is accepted but it seems locals prefer it Take water with you and bring a bag to carry any purchases with you Make sure you're back to the bus before the time they say, that's the time they want to leave! Toilets are €1 so have cash for that too Overall a lovely trip, highly recommended but a few bits to prepare for
Great day out, with lots of stops to see all of Santorini. Very full on packed day out and great value for money. Our tour guide Yannis was really insightful and our driver was brilliant too. The only downside was not getting picked up from the hotel so it meant having to get buses either side which added to the day.
Great way to see some of the best site in Santorini! Yannis is so knowledgeable and friendly. And he takes the best pictures.
Poor customer service, dishonest driver, and disinterested tour guide. We had to take a taxi to the second location since the driver decided to lie and say we were not at the bus stop. (We approched him and he shook his head and walked away) Customer service stopped answering my phone calls but luckily the cab driver volunteered to call them and his calls were answered right away. Tour guide kept losing half of the group and was too busy playing on his phone to pay attention to us. Entire "tour" is basically driving from one point to the next and being told when to meet back at the bus.
It's a great tour, covering a lot of tourist attractions on Santorini. Our driver and guide, Nicos and Yanis, were very good and attentive with our needs, such as the walking pace or answering questions. The only problem was with the pick-up point. Due to some miscommunication from the central office, we waited at an intersection for about 45 minutes until someone showed up.
I was very excited to reserve this excursion, although it took some effort to make sure pick up was available – eventually we did receive an email to meet at a spot close to our hotel – the pickup was on time in a small van that transferred to a bus. The tour was as advertised with stops at all destinations – it was a physical tour which was challenging to this seasoned (senior) citizen with moderate mobility - the walk through the Pyrgos Kallistis and the top of Castelli of Emporio were tasking , even more so than the acropolis because of uneven landscape and uneven step formation – yet I made it – lunched at the scenic black beach ( a little on the expensive side- paying for the view ) – not much of a wine tasting – one white, one red, one sweet liqueur -off to Oia – since we were off season a crowd, but not oppressive – stopped at KooKoo for drinks had to sit outside – so windy and cool but the staff brought my daughter and I blankets – how sweet – this area is so expected Santorini – the views awesome – we had to wait in line for the picture with the blue dome backgrounds ( there are several spots) but we had the time and went down to the parking lot for the sunset – a little mix up with the transport back but eventually returned to drop off point -dark – glad there were others returning with us – all in all – a good long day
We booked the trip on 14th Nov and it showed on the website that the start time is 11.30 in Fira, so I booked the taxi to get there on time from Oia, it turned out that the tour started 9.10,no info from the tour operator at all, they sent us a message at 10.48 after the taxi driver called them to confirm the meeting point! It seems they do not really care about people, horrible, waiting for the refund
Great trip, saw loads of the island. Great wine tasting too. Our guide Suzanna was very informative. Stefano our drive was very good. My only comment was that the tour is shorter at the end of the season as the sun sets earlier.
This was a great day! We were a bit apprehensive since it was to be an 8 hour tour but we had a wonderful time. Yaniset is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable. We basically saw the entire island-highly recommend if you want to see all the sights efficiently without stress. The sunset from Oia was an amazing way to end the day!
This tour is quite nice if you don’t want to rent a car to go to the other villages and want a take-easy day. It gives a quick overview of the island. However, if you want to stay long in the areas you visited within it, you won’t be able to do so because it’s a group tour with time to go in and out. We did not feel like driving here and were is a go-go mode up to this point, so the tour came handy. We made friends in the bus. The tour guide spoke fluent English and was quite pleasant and fun. Susanna was very kind, knowledgeable, and careful with the group.
Do NOT trust this company. We were booked on this trip on a Sunday. Arrived at the pickup location 20 minutes early and waited. And waited. When they had not arrived I gave their 24 hour service a call only to get a voicemail service. Decided to wait a while and after an hour called again - still voicemail, so also emailed. What a waste of a morning. What made it worse was that they said we were a no show and would not refund us for their mistake - these days it’s easy, I have gps data showing we were at the allotted place at the allotted time. What a joke of a company - do not use
Firstly I want to say both the driver and tour guide were lovely. But we booked this tour for the advertised 3 hours in Oia, with a sunset view. Ok cloudy day and lack of a sunset is out of the tour operators hands, however we only got 1 hour and 20 minutes in Oia. The qué to get a photo with either the blue domes or the castle was around an hour so having to be back at the bus for the return journey meant neither were possible. Trying to get back in time for the (lack of) sunset meant we rushed round, saw nothing, got no photographs and actually felt like we hadn't even been there. The bus journey home felt like such a let down and we were very disappointed. It spoiled what pior was an ok'ish tour, but we would not have booked it had the Oia part not been included so felt rather cheated.
Our tour guide was really informative and the bus driver did well negotiating tight bends! The tour ran on time and everywhere we stopped we enjoyed. My highlight was lunch and swimming at the black beach and the sunset in Oia after pictures with the blue dome churches.
Highly recommended ! Our tour guide savaas was such a friendly and great person, sharing historical and interesting facts regarding all the visited places! The tour description completely matches the tour itself , seeing all the santorini points within 8 hours !
Excellent detailed trip with plenty of time in between different areas. Susanna was a great guide who explain things all along the trip and very respectful of everyone so highly recommend this trip. This gives you a full view of the island in detail and comfort in air-conditioned buses!
Fantastic guide and driver. They made seeing Santorini an easy experience. Learned a lot and would recommend others for this tour and Viator.
Great overall tour at a leisurely pace. Truly enjoyed the tour! Driver (“George”) and tour guide (Janis) were excellent!!!
This was a fantastic way to see all the best bits of the island without the hassle of hiring a car or needing to find a bus or taxi. The tour guide was brilliant from start to finish and had excellent knowledge of all the sites we visited. The transport was 5* and super comfortable. I didn’t know what to expect having never been to Santorini before, but it exceeded my expectations in every way. I would 100% recommend this tour if you are wanting to see as much of the island as possible in one day.
We have arranged in Santorini the “1 Day English Tour, with Wine Tasting and Sunset in Oia” in February, an ideal month to avoid the rigors of the Greek summer. The tour has even exceeded our expectations especially for the excellent work of our guide, Elisa, attentive and knowledgeable. It has made us aware of interesting places on the island less frequented by tourism and, as a finale, we have enjoyed an unforgettable sunset from Oia without compromising, as there were few visitors on the island these days.
En hyggelig kulturel tur der dog startede med 30 forsinkelse ved pickup og ingen mulighed for at kontakte toursupport andet end pr e-mail eller via Viator ,som de aldrig svarede på. Turen bød på besøg i forskellige byer hvor guiden dog havde meget travlt og der ikke var mulighed for at kigge i de forskellige butikker før turen gik videre. Vinsmagning: havde forventet at besøge en vingård men vinsmagningen var på et salgsted som ikke gav nogen mening. Bussen vi kørte i var ikke beregnet til voksne mennesker. Der var ingen plads til ben selv for en gennemsnitlig person. Mikrofonen virkede med mellemrum hvilke gjorde at man kun fik halve informationer om de forskellige steder. Fin solnedgang i oia dom var højdepunktet på turen
