Our guides really covered the island well. They were easy to communicate with, very friendly, and knowledgeable about the island. They showed us the best spots for photos for the blue domes in the most famous areas, but, through no fault of theirs, it was very, very crowded. But once we left that area, they walked us through one of the other smaller villages, which was so much more pleasant! They even dropped us off at the top of the village and let us walk down through the center and met back up with us at the bottom, which was really nice. We ate a nice lunch at the black sand beach, but just remember black REALLY absorbs the sun, so shoes or sandals are a must!

Our guide was fantastic. I forget his name but we were 2 ladies in a group with a family of 13 Americans. We got lots of information and history of Santorini and the guide kept to good timing. We really enjoyed the places we stopped off at and our fantastic guide got us through the busy streets of Oia and we got the shortcut back to the van. There was enough time for us to wander around. The lunch place at the black sand beach served delicious food with very decent portions. We were in a Mercedes van with air con. Thoroughly enjoyed this your and would highly recommend.
