Excellent attentive hosts on the boat, delicious food and lovely wine, beer and soft drink selection. Having only 18 on the boat made it feel very spacious and comfortable and there was plenty of space to sit and relax and enjoy the amazing views. Swimming was good, we went in October and it was cold in the sea, but not too cold to swim for us, however if you’re expecting a warm Mediterranean dip you will be disappointed. We took our children and it was an amazing family day together.

Excellent tour & John was fantasic! Highly recommend this tour! Before starting off John asked what our interests were & then tailored our day accordingly. We never felt rushed & not only saw the sites but also learned about Santorini’s geography & history. By the way- John is also a great photographer!! Thank you John!

This private tour was absolutely amazing. We were taken all around the island and even went to some hidden gems that we never would have seen ourselves. Our tour guide was so helpful and friendly, answering any of our questions and providing us with so much information on the island. Would highly recommend to anyone!
