Personalized way to see the stunning beautiful island of Santorini - This tour was a good way to see some of Santorini's breathtaking scenery and highlights of the island's unique architecture and blue domed churches. Our tour guide George (00306939068227) met us at the top of the cable car exit and stopped at several places with panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and to the Black Beach in Peruviols so we could take photos. George was a knowledgeable guide who provided us with options about places to stop or eat which made the tour more personal. Highly recommend this tour.

A great way to see the island - Our small group tour ended up being a private tour, since we were in Santorini at the very beginning of the season. No complaints here! Arthur was fantastic! He gave us a bit of history and info as we walked from site to site and was wonderful about showing us the perfect spots to take photos. The tour was a good pace and gave us the chance to see so much of the island. He answered any and all questions we had and showed genuine pride in living in Santorini and sharing it with us. We also loved that we were picked up and dropped off right at the hotel. Thanks for a great day!

Gorgeous Santorini! - Mary was a wonderful tour guide. Transport was perfect for our family. She even helped us customise the tour to include Akrotiri which we wanted to see, and brought us to the picture perfect spots, and the beautiful Perissa beach to collect volcanic stones! Experience of Santorini was made so much more enlightening with her detailed sharing of its historical past!

Commitment - Weather impacted our ability to reach our meeting point by 3 hrs. Sent a message to Viator that we'd not be making it yet as we got off the cable car, our driver was still sitting there with our placard! Props due, had a great time!!

Tough to get to meeting location and getting back to boat - Kia was a great guide. She was knowledgeable and showed us great sights with wonderful information. The less star is from the fact that Santorini is just very crowded to get to the meeting place. And though we avoided crowded places on the tour, getting to the driver and leaving tainted the trip.

Great Tour of Santorini - We were a group of 7. And we extended the 5-hour tour to 6 hours. Our tour guide Maria was great. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and even a bit funny. The island was picturesque and calming. I took tons of photos. It was the best day of the 8 that we spent in Greece!
