Great day tour of Santorini

Great trip! A must for those looking to experience Santorini to the fullest

Tanya is an amazing tour guide! she was full of energy, explained things very thoroughly. We loved all parts of the tour, especially the tour in the archeological park, where the guide was also really great (also tickets were 6 euro for all non-Eu residents under 25) We ended the tour with wine tastings which were exceptional. We also loved how Tanya found great photo ops and offered to take photos of all who wanted :)

Not the educational and fun experience we were looking for
Jacqueline_Y
, Jun 2022
In short, I would not recommend this experience. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving the experience 3hrs early. The tour guide was friendly, funny, and kind, but provided little educational information about the stops and the sites. For instance, we had another wine/walking tour booked the next day which happened to walk through one of the same villages. With the viator guide, we mostly walked and she offered to stop to take group and instagram worthy photos. With our airbnb guide, we really learned about the architectural importance and historical importance of the town. Akrotiri was amazing, but this was led by another tour guide. Wish we had a good review to leave! The guide truly was so kind and funny, but this was not the experience we were looking for.

We enjoyed Akrotiri very much and learning about this ancient civilization. Weather was too cold to swim at Black Beach and I thought the walk down to Red Beach was very long and you cannot swim there. We were completely unaware of the stops at Monastery, Village, and winery as these were not mentioned in description and made the day quite long.

Cover a lot of ground in one day.
Shannon_B
, Sep 2021
Excellent tour. A few extra places in there that we weren’t expecting. Went up to a monastery and through a small village. Could have maybe spent a little less time there though to give us more time on black beach, but overall was very nice. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. Got to see a lot of places in just the one day so if you don’t have much time, this helps you cover some ground quickly.
Well-organized tour to see highlights of Santorini

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
