This tour was just what we expected, giving us a good feel for Santorini and its history. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and shared many facts and interesting stories about the island. The tour bus was comfortable and we felt safe.

If you want to do a tour of santorini on your own, be among the early ones to get off the cruise ship tender boat and catch the early cable car to the top of Fira. Once on top, head to the right and walk straight ahead until you reach the bus station on your left. About 10 minutes walk. Take the bus to Oia first so that you can be back in Fira before the crowd build up for the cable car trip down to the Harbour. At Euro 2 each way, this is a steal. Do the blue dome and windmills picture taking and any other that you want and return to Fira from the same bus stop. Firostefani is merely a 20-minute walk from Fira but not much different from what you see in Oia. Fira itself is a nice walk, viewing the churches, hotels, eating places and the caldera. Don't forget the shopping. The queue back to the tender boat from the top of Fira can be hours long so don't do so at the last minute or you will have to make your own way to the next port.

The tour was cut very short and disorganized. The ship was late coming into port and they tried to accommodate everyone which didn’t work well at all. Didn’t see all that was on the tour and the bus was too small.

Our driver/tour guide, Manos, was fantastic! Even with the shortened tour, due to complications with the clearance of the ship, and long lines at the cable car, Manos was able to show us the highlights of Santorini. He even recommended a fantastic restaurant for us to eat at in Oija. This was a fantastic tour with a fantastic and caring person as the tour guide/driver. I really recommend this tour and especially Manos.

Not much history to talk about. People were not very nice. The views are pretty. But it's not worth the crowds nor the commute to get to where the views are.

Very busy to cable cable car, the climb is not easy especially if you don’t like donkeys. No doubt not to be missed but avoid busy times, the tour was very good and informative but all too short, the longest stop was for food at a restaurant of the tours choice. The food was good but the service slow.
