Our guide Gregory was happy to stop and answer any of our questions about the history of the island. Really well informed on the Venetian castles, geology and lifestyle.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Gregory was a fantastic tour guide, very personable and knowledgeable. We visited too many sites to list and certainly many places we would have never found on our own. His recommendation for lunch was on point. We ended the day watching the sunset in Oia. This tour was a highlight of our time on the island.

This is a real nice way of seeing the best of Santorini in a day. Both of us are senior citizens and visited in Oct 2023. Our Tour guide was a very pleasant and knowledgeable person (the name, unfortunately, slips my mind) who made our group feel very comfortable and took great care to explain to us the nuances of the places we visited. It was a small group in a comfortable mini bus and the pace was quite relaxed. The tour started with a nice interactive musical session at an interesting museum of musical instruments maintained by a talented man and included visit to Castles, lunch at beachside (expenses not included), a wine tasting trip and concluded with sunset at Oia. It included hotel pick and drop. Overall we got what we expected. Recommended.

Great way to know more about Santorini, and we had the best guide/driver Gregory. Very knowledgeable and truly passionate about sharing insights of the place. This tour requires walking, a lot of walking. Shorter daylight so I understand we had to cut short some of the activities like swimming at the Black Sand beach. Although we stopped there for delish lunch. All in all, would recommend and I hope you get Gregory too!

Gregory was an amazing guide. He was friendly, had so much local knowledge, and looked after the safety of the group. We really enjoyed the full day tour. The musical Symposium, Perivolos beach, and Emperio Castle.

Why is Santorini all white with a little blue?
Who built the castles and why?
What's it like from a local's perspective?
When and how did the island get so many cliffside hotel rooms?
Where's the best place to see a sunset?
Why are vineyards in Santorini different than any place in the world?
Find out answers to these questions and more and see parts of the island most tourists don't get to see. Our tour guide, Gregory was everything we could have hoped for.
Plus shopping, plus photo ops, plus wine;
It was a quite a day.

Our guide, Gregory, was GREAT! Unfortunately, for us, the most memorable part of the tour was a negative. We were told that after Oct. 15 the tour would not be going to the music symposium. This suited us just fine, as we had NO INTEREST in it. Part way through the tour we were surprised to be escorted into a courtyard and told that now it was time for the music symposium. The venue was beautiful, but the symposium itself consisted of enduring a 30 minute talk by an overly dramatic lady, followed by a self absorbed performance by her musician husband. At one point, he handed out drums and instructed us to beat them while he marched in front of us and played the flute WITH HIS NOSE! It was abysmal, but we were a captive audience left with no other option. With a triumphant bow, the musician congratulated us on becoming a band and, mercifully, the "presentation" ended but the pain did not. A set of doors opened up and his wife reappeared, credit card reader in hand, to collect 13 euros per person and offer souvenirs for sale. At the end of the day, we were out 26 euros for a "performance" that we DID NOT WANT and were told WOULD NOT occur. As for the husband and wife team, they made 377 euros from our 19 person tour plus whatever refreshments and souvenirs they sold. Not bad for a little over an hours work! I understand that some people probably loved the symposium and to each their own, but we didn't appreciate this being sprung on us at an additional cost and given NO other option!

I had a wonderful day on this excursion and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Santorini. My partner was participating in a race that day, so I went alone, and quickly felt at home with my fellow tour participants. Our guide was wonderful, sharing the history of significant sites, and also filling in with bits of information about the history and people of Santorini. The music/cultural center experience was amazing! I enjoyed the entire time there. I was so happy to be able to see all of the sites we went to that day. Great time!

Very informative and interesting, Gregory was a great guide .
Saw lots of places we would never have found travelling on buses. Wine tasting was a treat, wine museum interesting.
Would definitely recommend this tour.
