We booked this through our hotel who recommended it and we thought it would be more than it actually was, given the price. This is not a proper guided tour as advertised but is rather a private car hire where the driver just takes you to all the hotspots and then leaves you to roam around in each of them yourself. The car was a nice Mercedes which is basically what they are charging you for. Honestly, you can just go to all of these places yourself on the bus for much cheaper. Other organised coach tours take you to the same places, yes it wont be private but it will be exactly the same places with other people present and it will be an actual guided tour. Our driver did not do much guiding at all, when he arrived he asked us what we want to see and we were confused as he should have had an itinerary to follow. Also, there aren't even any entrance fees to pay in these locations, so the high price is not justified. I would not recommend.110% recommend this activity and especially with Nick (our driver/guide). Nick arrived early and waited for us to finish our breakfast before heading out to visit Santorini.

110% recommend this activity and especially with Nick (our driver/guide). Nick arrived early and waited for us to finish our breakfast before heading out to visit Santorini. He even asked what we’ve seen and adjusted our tour accordingly. We were able to learn about Santorini and took a lot of photos. Nick even offered to take photos for us! Nick even took us to a lunch spot on Black Beach and the view from our table was spectacular. The venue he chose (we asked him to select for us) had amazing seafood and for a good price. So if you have young children or an elderly parent traveling - do not hesitate to book this tour. You’ll thank yourself later. Oh! And one more thing about Nick: we asked for a last minute sunset cruise for our party and he made it happen. It was great and he made sure we were picked up and dropped off. So please ask for Nick!This is definitely the right choice - Nicola is so friendly and knowledgeable. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. The tour is customised depending on your needs.

This is definitely the right choice - Nicola is so friendly and knowledgeable. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. The tour is customised depending on your needs. The car is brand new and comfortable. He also gives me advice on what I should do in Santorini I booked a traditional boat for the next day and it was cancelled. Within a min, Nicola helped to sort it out with another provider which is cheaper and better (I have to say, he is well connected. He even gives me advice on where I should stay in Athens!) He took me to various places with detailed explanation/ background introduction.A big thank you to Helena (our tour guide) and Dimitrios ( our driver) for fantastic tour of Santorini with "Greece Holiday Tours" We arrived by cruise ship.

A big thank you to Helena (our tour guide) and Dimitrios ( our driver) for fantastic tour of Santorini with "Greece Holiday Tours" We arrived by cruise ship. Tip: Recommend an early departure as it can be a long time up from the port of Fira to the top of the city. It is 6 Euro (May 2019) one way for the cable car. The donkey path is also available. We were greeted at the op by Helena our gude. She was a wonderful. Very knowledgeable and knew her way around the towns. Santorini is very busy and small area. Having our team of Dimitrios and Helena helped get through the crowds that are quite substantial even with the town limiting only 2 cruise ship a day. We saw the great sites of the island as seen on the web, toured a winery , and have a quick lunch by the beach. We had a great day. Everything we had hoped for. Highly recommend this tour group. Thank you Dimitros and Helena!
