Our tour with Thomas was amazing! Thomas is very knowledgable of the historical sites that he took us to and explain the history behind them. He went out of his way to make sure that we got to see what wanted to see, all 7 of us. And that was not easy. This was our first tour with Viator and it was the best decision that I made. I am on the Princess cruise and have been talking to everyone that I meet about the excursion experience with Viator. Thank you Thomas so much for making our Santorini a pleasant experience.

Nicholas is excellent. He is very knowledgeable, informative, personable and funny. He was able to modify the tour to gear to our interests. He was able to accommodate my wife somewhat limited mobility due to recent knee replacement surgery. A truly great tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Our guide Thomas was great. Our family really enjoyed the tour and it was a great way to see the island. This was my first time using Viator to book a tour internationally and it was easy to find our guide and communicate ahead of time.

Aphrodite is the best tour guide! She drove us around in a very clean and comfortable van. We had time to shop and she honored our extra request to see the beaches. Her English is nearly perfect and she answered all of my endless questions. GREAT value for the money. I highly recommend!!!

Aphrodite
Aphrodite’s warm and hospitable nature quickly made us feel at ease as we embarked on our tour of the lovely island of Santourini. Aphrodite greeted us atop the cable car, beginning an informative tour with a stroll around OIA. With Aphrodite's friendly guidance and extensive knowledge, we ventured southward for a panoramic view of the island from a monastery atop its highest point before resuming our journey through the charming streets of Emporio. Ascending towards the church, we eventually made our way back to Fira perfectly timed for the funicular and tender. Highly flexible she masterfully adapted to our late arrival and the needs and physicality of our group. This tour was fitting for all abilities and offered a delightful way to experience the island.

This was a great experience. The price was a bit high for me, but we had the entire mini bus to ourselves. That was so worth the price. We were able to tailor the tour to our needs and wants. Perfect!
