True Santorini experience - Very friendly driver and extremely helpful! Everything was set for us. The definition of vacation. I believe it’s a must do on this island as this service covers everything you may want to see. The wine on this island is just mesmerising as it’s soil is affected by the volcano.

Magnificent Santorini Private Tour - Since my husband and I had previously been to Santorini, we decided to make our own agenda and use a private driver for 5 hours. We communicated our itinerary to our driver, Angelo via chat and he not only transported us to each and every stop on our list; he also shared a wealth of knowledge with us. He was so charming and we will not hesitate to use Viator exclusively for our cruise excursions moving forward.
