Robert – United States

Georgia was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, and Stavros was a friendly and engaging driver. The guide / pick-up combination made Akrotiri easy to get to for our group of four and, really, made the visit possible from Firostefani without a rental car and made efficient use of our Santorini time. On her iPad, Georgia showed us photos of frescos (now moved to museums) at the buildings where they were found, and this greatly improved our understanding of the site. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Knowledgeable guide who shared facts vs speculative narratives. Good amount of touring time - informative but did not drag. Allowed us to skip the line for tickets. Appreciated the arrangement for transfer to and from the site, as we had not rented a car.
