Excellent quality tour - Recommended this tour through our hotel Very fairly priced & such a nice “snapshot of Santorini” Our tour guide was knowledgeable & really interactive & engaging Really enjoyed the fact the tour itself was over 5h long, collecting/dropping you off wasn’t counted as “tour time” We did the half day excursion- thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the church/monastery as a highlight of the day!

PERFECT! - This was such a perfect day! Our ship took forever to tender in even though we stood in line early to get a good number for disembarking. We honestly stood in line 1.5 hours before tickets and were awarded tender #4. It took forever to get off. Cruise passengers with cruise tours were given priority getting off. There were several other ships in port (costa and disney and another) so we competed with tenders. The tour guide, Michael, waited of us to get off and up the cable car. Just know you may lose an hour or more of your tour time getting to the top! The trip was truly customizable. Michael had ideas and also included some of ours. One of our favorite days! Good price for 8 people and so nice it was private. We saw a bakery and he pulled us over to buy some local baked goods. Gave us great info on the island, friendly and good conversations! Loved loved loved every minute!!! We did not stop at the winery because we were short on time and wanted to see other things instead. We were told to be at the cable car at least an hour before the last tender. We were there but it took us 2.5 hours to get back on the ship. Saw the sunset from standing in a half mile long line to get on the cable car. FOR REAL! The line was all our cruise passengers and even the ship tour people were in this line. Not sure what happens with the tenders. Disney came by and told anyone waiting in line to skip it and took them to the front because their ship was leaving before ours. Truly, we could have gone to the winery.

Santorini Private Tour - Our driver, Gregory was extremely knowledgeable about the island . He made several suggestions that enhanced our visit. We were on a cruise that offered an optional excursion to Oia but chose to do our own tour. After talking to fellow passengers we were glad we booked our own driver as Gregory was always attentive to our needs and we were never rushed. I have used Viatour for private tours in the past and have never been disappointed

Gorgeous - Our guide was 15" late meeting us so made us nervous. Our group chose not to go to the winery, so she did take us to two beaches. She was somewhat difficult to understand and didn't seem very knowledgeable about the area.
