★★★★★
Six and a half months pregnant and the crew could not have been more careful with me. They knew what every stop along the way actually was, rather than just steering to it, and the food was genuinely good. We would go again tomorrow.
Maddie L. · couple · August 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★☆☆
The sailing itself is as good as it was five years ago, and that is why we came back. The drinks are where it has been cut: the last time it was beer, wine and soft drinks all afternoon, and this time water or wine came round three times in the whole cruise. The crew were not much interested either.
Stefan S. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★★★
The sunset run on the Evonna was everything I had hoped for. Barbecue chicken, tzatziki and dolmades were the pick of the food, and the crew's welcome was what lifted it above a nice boat ride.
Tabitha M. · solo · August 2026 · Santorini Greece sunset catamaran cruise
★★★★★
Seventeen of us went out on the sunset cruise together and it worked for every one of them. The crew handled a party that size without anybody feeling processed, and the food kept coming. Easily the excursion we all talk about.
Denise C. · group · October 2024 · Santorini Greece sunset cruise
★★★★☆
The water was rough enough that I think it should have been called off. I am seventy-one and in good health, and I spent a long crossing worried about falling. The staff, the captain and the food were all excellent, which is why this is four stars and not fewer.
Colette F. · September 2026 · Santorini Greece sunset cruise
★★★★★
Santorini in winter turns out to be a good idea, and so does sailing in it. Everything from the pickup to the boat was kind and unhurried. I came alone and left having met half the deck.
Keyao L. · solo · December 2025 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★★★
Captain Mannos and the crew made the day. The swim spots, the photographs and the food were all better than we expected, and some of our group called it the best excursion they have ever been on.
Krista H. · group · July 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★★☆
The boat and the crew deserve five stars and the transport does not. We spent close to two hours in the van collecting other passengers before we boarded, which is a lot of a short holiday. The air conditioning was also dripping on us.
Rizwan L. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★★★
Wear proper trainers if the crater walk is part of your day. The listing says comfortable shoes and that is not the same thing on loose volcanic gravel. Take a swimsuit and a towel too, because the beach on Thirasia is worth the stop.
Jharana P. · July 2026 · Santorini Greece volcano boat trip
★★★★★
Picked up by bus where we asked, then a boat with a guide who explained everything twice and checked nobody was lost. Volcano first with a short climb, then the hot springs, then lunch and two hours on Thirasia, then three hours free in Oia for the sunset. Good value for a very full day.
Celine M. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece volcano boat trip
★★★★★
Excellent from start to finish, and it packs in more sights, stops and distance than we expected for the hours. The crew kept it all moving and still gave proper time at every stop. The barbecue was very good and the drinks kept coming.
Claudio O. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★☆☆☆☆
I noted a dietary requirement in the booking and nothing was offered on the day, which on a trip where the food is part of what you pay for matters. There was also smoking on board. I do not normally write reviews and I wanted one here.
Ashley G. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece catamaran cruise
★★★★☆
The walk into the vineyard showed us how the vines are actually trained here, which none of us had understood before. Three distinct wineries followed, and the people we ended up sharing a table with made the evening. A genuinely tasty few hours.
Mindy M. · friends · June 2026 · Santorini Greece wine tour
★★★★☆
Go for the ending rather than the wine and you will not be disappointed. Our host was excellent company and the light at the last winery is the reason to book. The tastings themselves were fine rather than memorable.
Aaron M. · July 2025 · Santorini Greece sunset wine tour
★★☆☆☆
A standard tasting and standard tapas at a premium price. We would have got more out of driving ourselves to two of the same estates. It is not a bad afternoon, it is an expensive one.
John D. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece wine tour
★★★★★
Twelve tastings across three estates sounds like a lot and it is paced so that it is not. The guide knew the grapes and the volcanic soil properly, and the cheese and cold cuts were more substantial than we expected.
Nicky K. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece wine tour
★★★★★
A few hours preparing, cooking and then eating a proper meal on a working farm. Anna made it feel less like a class and more like being fed by somebody's family, with wine and a lot of talking. The best afternoon of the trip.
Andrew C. · August 2025 · Santorini Greece food and wine tour
★★★★★
My husband and I had the cooking class to ourselves, which we had not expected. We came away knowing the history of tomato farming on this island, which sounds dull and is not. Anna was kind and knew her subject.
Jaclyn A. · couple · June 2026 · Santorini Greece cooking class
★☆☆☆☆
This is a tasting with small bites, not the lunch we had pictured, and the portions did not justify what we paid. It ended up being the most expensive couple of hours of our trip.
Sean Y. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece winery lunch
★★★★★
Our guide had studied viticulture and it showed in the depth of what she told us. We were lucky to be four rather than fifteen, which made the afternoon feel unhurried. Marina made it.
Trevor S. · couple · August 2026 · Santorini Greece wine tour
★★★★★
Kostas listened to what our family actually wanted to see and built the day round it rather than round a route. He knows the island and he knows when to stop talking. One of the days we will remember.
Jennifer C. · family · August 2026 · Santorini Greece private tour
★★★★★
First time here and we wanted to see as much as the hours allowed. Dimitri was professional, kind and full of recommendations we would never have found. He made the day bigger than we had booked.
Bailey W. · first-timer · August 2026 · Santorini Greece private tour
★☆☆☆☆
Our guide spent the day talking about his own scheduling problems and made it clear he was not enjoying it. We learned nothing about the island. We would have been better off in a hire car with a map.
Susana N. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece private tour
★★★★★
George was excellent with our children: patient, genuinely knowledgeable about the island, and quick to spot when they needed an ice cream rather than another viewpoint. That is not a small skill.
David S. · family · July 2026 · Santorini Greece private tour
★★★★★
An efficient introduction to the island and better fun than that makes it sound. We reached Oia just before the crowds arrived, which made the difference. Worth doing on your first day so you know where you want to go back to.
Hannah S. · May 2026 · Santorini Greece highlights tour
★★★☆☆
Our guide tried hard and the day had no real plan behind it. In a van of ten people nobody used a microphone, so most of us could not hear her. We came for the history of the island and got about a third of one.
Vladimir G. · September 2025 · Santorini Greece highlights tour
★★★★☆
Good for seeing the side of the island the coaches skip. The guide was informative and friendly, and we spent as much or as little time in each village as we wanted. That flexibility is the whole point of a group this size.
David E. · June 2026 · Santorini Greece small-group tour
★★★★★
Our first trip here and Akis made it. You can hear how much he loves the place in the stories he tells, and his restaurant recommendation was the best meal we had. A great half-day.
Ann L. · first-timer · September 2026 · Santorini Greece private half-day tour
★★★★★
Kostas put the day together exactly right, and it felt less like being driven and more like going round with a friend. His grip on the island's history is deep and he tells it well. We came away feeling connected to the place rather than photographed in front of it.
Melody W. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece private tour
★★★☆☆
If you are coming off a ship, find a tour that skips the cable car and guarantees you back in time. Passengers from our ship who used it queued for more than two hours in the heat, and in the end the ship had to send boats for them. The tour itself was fine; the cable car is the story.
Laurel L. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece shore excursion
★★★★★
Our first visit to the island and the guide made it feel like more than a stop. Knowledgeable, kind and genuinely accommodating, and the route took in the sights we had come for. A very good use of a port day.
Cleaner O. · first-timer · August 2026 · Santorini Greece shore excursion
★★★★☆
A good day out for a party of twenty-one, in an air-conditioned bus with a professional driver. Our guide Ana was engaging and knew her material. The one thing we would change is lunch being included for what it costs.
Alex S. · group · August 2026 · Santorini Greece shore excursion
★☆☆☆☆
We were booked on the eleven o'clock and were put on the ten o'clock tender after checking three times that it was right. What followed was confused enough that we would not book with this operator again. Check your departure carefully if you go.
Jackie H. · couple · August 2026 · Santorini Greece shore excursion
★★★★☆
An easy, relaxed way to see the headlines of the island in a port call. Victor was both informative and good company. Nothing about the day felt rushed, which is unusual for a cruise excursion.
Dale T. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece shore excursion
★★★★★
Travelling Greece on my own, I appreciated how welcoming Mano and Barbara were. It was the first time I had ever been on a horse and they were patient and reassuring the whole way. I felt looked after rather than processed.
Areal B. · solo · July 2026 · Santorini Greece horse riding
★★★★★
Coco was a brilliant horse and the team were supportive with riders who had never done it. They took photographs of my friend and me along the black sand that we will keep. Great fun from start to finish.
Hannah E. · friends · July 2026 · Santorini Greece horse riding
★★★★☆
The staff know their horses and they made everybody comfortable, including the nervous ones. Be aware that the beach you ride is not the picture-postcard one and there is litter on parts of it. The ride itself was lovely.
Ana F. · July 2026 · Santorini Greece horse riding
★★☆☆☆
Everyone was pleasant and the whole thing still felt industrial rather than personal. The session ran under an hour and the shooting itself about thirty minutes. Nobody asked what kind of photographs or poses I actually wanted.
Alisa N. · August 2026 · Santorini Greece photoshoot
★★★★★
First time on the island, picked up on time and taken to places that were both beautiful and quiet, which is a harder combination here than it sounds. Eres and Fon taught us about the island as we went. A pleasure of a day.
