Santorini Tour - We did a private tour with Elizabet who was amazing. We met her at the top once we took the cable car up to the mountain. The sites of white houses and blue domes was beautiful. We saw the red sand and black sand beaches. Learned about the significance of household doors to grapes and olive trees. the weather was amazing. The ONLY CAUTION I offer is that we purchased jewelry from PONIROS and BUYER BEWARE. Once we returned to the states and had it appraised the value was significantly lower. When we called the jeweler they say but you agreed to pay the price. Our view is that we trusted the jeweler was telling us the truth and validated it with his written appraisal. Long story short we are making an exchange in NY City for a new piece that they are having shipped in. Regardless, I am sure we will still be taking a bath on the purchase. That is the only bad feeling I have when I think of Santorini with is so unfortunate.

Beautiful Day! - We decided to do the Santorini Private tour while on our cruise instead of the cruise excursions. I am so glad we did. Joanne was a wonderful tour guide. She was very attentive to my sister-in-laws physical challenges and was very patient. She showed us many of the sites and took us away from all the crowds. We enjoyed a very peaceful lunch on the black sand beach. She also showed us how to pair and taste wines. Then we enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. Definitely an end to a beautiful day

Extremely Knowledgeable ! - What you have to remember is that Santorini is the Island and the town you see all the pictures is Thera above the harbor. When you get a tour it is of the entire island. Our guide had a PhD in Greek History and never ran out of things to say about every square inch of it.
