We had an excellent guided tour of Akrotiri site. Only a guide with as much knowledge and experience as Georgia can help visitors understand what they are seeing here. Definitely book a guided tour for Akrotiri and book this one! It’s a small group tour and it’s great value.

Georgia was fantastic! She explained so many details and we all learned so much. She was very patient with all my children’s questions. I don’t think we ever could have learned what we did and noticed what she pointed out without having her. Very highly recommend!

This tour was amazing and so fascinating I’m so glad we did our tour with Georgia through the site. Georgia was an abundance of knowledge and passionate about the site which makes a huge difference. By far the standout highlight of our time in Santorini.
