Adventure in every stop!

Published on Jul, 2024

We all enjoyed learning about Santorini and Greece. The stroll through Megalchori, dinner on the black beach and watching the sunset was amazing. Gina and Spiros were fabulous. We will definately recommend this to future travelers.

Great Tour of Santorini

Published on Jul, 2024

This tour was simply the best! Our tour guide was amazing and her personality and knowledge was insightful! Just a real great experience!!!!!

Best. Day. Ever

Published on Jul, 2024

Athena and Dimitri were amazing! Knowledgeable, fun and beyond entertaining. The energy was off the charts and this trio delivered for all 10 of us. After a week in Rome we hopped on Odyssey of the Seas for a family cruise and we were admittedly nervous booking a Santorini excursion outside of RC given some of the challenges other travelers had mentioned. Pleased to say, we had NO issues and an unforgettable experience. Would highly recommend to all travelers.

THIS TOUR IS A MUST FOR CRUISE PASSENGERS!

Published on Jul, 2024

Don't overpay and book with your cruise line when you can book an even better tour at a much cheaper price! The tour itself was one of the best I've ever been on. Firstly, the company was extremely accommodating to our late tender boat. We were almost 1.5 hours late to our tour (due to no fault of our own), but the company still got us a private taxi to meet with the rest of the group at no charge. We saw all of the best Santorini had to offer in 5 hours, even stopping to take some of the best sunset photos. Every stop came with detailed explanations. Really a must-do for any Santorini goers!
