Very enjoyable day with a great and entertaining tour guide. The extra places that we visited were beautiful and interesting and we found the archaeological site really interesting.

A great tour to explore Santorini. We had a good tour guide. I enjoyed all the areas we explored on that tour.

Great day from start to finish! The church and the beaches were nice, but nothing we haven't all done before. The beautiful old village was so chilled and had a real charm to it. The highlight of the day was the ruins of Akrotiri, which was mind-blowing. Our guide Eugenie was excellent and clearly passionate about the site. What can I say about our guide for the day, Tanya? She was kind, friendly and funny. Kamari tours should give her and Nikos a raise!

This tour was amazing. Akrotiri was more impressive to me than Pompeii on some levels and I would recommend to anyone. I think what made the whole tour more special was tania our guide. She was informative and fun and I have been on lots of tours around the world and she was the best guide I’ve had. Thank you for an amazing day

Had a lovely day on this trip. Our guide Tanya was so nice and she had so much information about everything. We got to see so much of the island too. The archaeology site was very interesting. Had a great day.

The excavations visit was interesting. It was a long trek up a rocky path to view the red beach for a photo. Not good for the elderly or anyone unsteady on their feet.

This is a good, fun way to learn some history. Started with time out at a monastery, visit to old village of Megalochoria, the Red beach and the black beach of Perissa.

The tour has a great pace. Tania was funny, enthusiastic, welcoming and warm. The driver Dimitris was amazing traveling thru those narrow roads. We were given enough time at each spot, akrotiri blew my mind ( the tour guide was very knowledgeable) , Megalochori stole our hearts.The tour ends with a stop at Perissa which was refreshing although that area of Perissa ( north) isnt the best.
