We really enjoyed the tour. We saw a lot & got to do a lot for a great price. I would recommend. When you get to Oia pull out your phone maps because it gets a little confusing where to go & it’s all free time at that point.

The guide and the driver were brilliant. Suzie was so knowledgeable and informative. Our day was busy but included so many lively things. We went to the wrong meeting place and they sent a car for us. We had a wonderful day and would wholeheartedly recommend it. Phil and Alli

Très bon tour assez complet de l’île pour découvrir les must-see (montagne Elias, musée archéo, plage perissa, dégustation vin et sunset à oia), mieux connaître l’histoire, les coutumes et la Région. Notre guide Suzanna était super, à l’écoute et très agréable. Big up aussi au driver Nikos qui a su passer par tous les chemins et obstacles. Bref, excellente idée d’activité bien organisée ! PS: on a juste envie de rester un peu plus longtemps à Perissa pour avoir le temps de nager :)

Our lovely guide, Kim, was very informative and helpful – telling us lots as we drove to different stops. Very smoothly run – it meant we managed to see a bit of what felt like the whole island in just a day but I’m the same way, didn’t feel rushed as there was plenty of free time. I guess nowhere is that far a drive on a tiny island so each drive between felt pretty quick. Thoroughly recommend.
