5/5 Stars - Exceptional Tour Experience! I recently had the pleasure of taking a guided tour through breathtaking Santorini, and it was truly unforgettable! Our guide, Gregory, was absolutely fantastic - kind, knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun! From the moment we started, Gregory shared fascinating stories and insights about Santorini's history, culture, and hidden gems. The tour was perfectly paced, allowing us to soak in the stunning views, take memorable photos, and enjoy the island's charm. If you're looking for an exceptional Santorini tour experience, look no further!

Amazing. We were in areas with almost no tourists. Back alleys of Santorini was such a joy. George and Michael are a dynamic duo. Oia out of no control to the guides is a mess. Seen it. Don’t need to see it again. But we seen most of the island in one day. The wine tasting was great! The lunch was great as well.

This trip is excellent!! Our tour guide, Gregory, is fantastic and knows all about the island, its history & references; explained the visited site details thoroughly. If you have short stay at the island and this tour is the best as it covers most of the places.

Thanks to Gregory for his many information throughout this long excursion, which allowed us to discover many facets of the magnificent island of Santorini and the secrets of the Venetian castles.

Great venue, authentic town. The presentation was amazing. Would highly recommend.
