Delve into the intimate panoramic Santorini tour, through living images of extraordinary architecture and perpetual scenery, and follow the grape cultivation that results in tempting wine flavours. Fall for the symbolic elements of the illustrious Oia, packed with white cave houses in a vivid panorama of summer colours, and the poetic Megalochori, with the blue-domed churches gazing proudly over the Aegean. Find your inner peace in Pyrgos, a serene village featuring a Venetian castle that takes you way back in time, and listen to the stories it harbours inside. Pair award-winning wines with local delicacies in a Santorini tour that shows you the full journey of the ancient alcoholic drink, from harvest to bottling, at the natural environment of a historic winery.

Elisa was a great guide and provided information on the culture, history and geography of the island. Provided great insight on the way of life on the island. Vasili was a great driver.

This place lived up to it's reputation,,,Oia, with it's famous blue domed vistas is breathtakingly beautiful. But...there is a great more to see on Santorini. Our fantastic tour guide, Agatha, brought us around other parts of the island, including the charming town of Megalochari, which apparently hasn't changed too much for centuries, yet looks like a lovely place to live.
Agatha was full of interesting information and knew exactly what we would enjoy seeing, and even turned us on to some of the best wine we've ever had (only available on Santorini) at a nice restaurant in Oia, King Neptune. Santorini should be on everyone's bucket list.

The views are spectacular but the crowds were overwhelming! The first part of the tour was boring. Oia was overcrowded and unbearable.

City was amazing, and we were in a small group with just a few other people. It was absolutely breathtaking, and our guide was incredible. Shore Excursions takes pride in the experience, and was much better than tours we took with the cruise line. We will definitely choose Shore Excursions again!

We tendered from our cruise ship and took the cable car up to meet our guide. There were only 2 others touring with us so it was very comfortable. We got an early start and it felt like we had Megolochori all to ourselves. We really enjoyed walking through the village and even got to visit a cave which had been used as a dwelling in the past. We visited the Argyros winery for a very nice tasting accompanied by local items to snack on. And on to free time walking about Oia which is stunning and already buzzing with tourists in May. We had ample opportunity to ask questions and get our guide's insights about the island. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Santorini is very hectic; the extreme shortfall of cable car capacity vs the volume of cruise ship passengers results in a frustrating experience at the island. That said, this excursion provides a variety of experiences across the island, from the highest point, to the beauty of Oia, to a fun wine tasting. Megalachori was underwhelming; perhaps the weather, and we did not stop in Pyrgos. Could have used more time in Oia (beautiful), but there's not much to do but eat, shop, and take selfies anyway. Will likely not return to Santorini if I can avoid it, but for an all-in-one-day non-ship intro to Santorini, this fits the bill. Not a bad trip mind you, but we had much better ports on our ten day cruise . There were 16 people in our tour on a mid size bus, but many of them were not very mobile. We waited a lot. We are mid-40's and reasonably fit. Usually non-ship options filter out the mobility challenged, but we did not experience that on this trip. Excellent driver, friendly energetic guide.

Marko was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of great info on Santorini. He kept the excursion flowing on time and made sure no one was left behind. He was enthusiastic and we are so glad we booked this tour. Would recommend this tour to all family and friends.
