The tour start time will be adjusted to your ship’s docking schedule to minimize waiting and accommodate possible disembarkation delays. You’ll receive the final meeting time in the Meeting Instructions about one week before the tour.
Please note that wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, electric scooters, and other mobility devices cannot be accommodated on shared tours.

Great day tour in Santorini from cruise ship

5.00Transportation from the dock was excellent. We got to avoid the very long cable car ride. The buses were very high quality and luxurious. Driver was very good at navigating the small streets. The guide was excellent and knowledgeable and helpful with picture taking. We did the 5-hour tour starting at 10am. We didn't really understand when it would be best to eat lunch and didn't fully understand when we would be at the beach for lunch, which ended up being around 2:30 p.m. We probably should have just eaten at 11:45 at the first stop if we had known that. Otherwise we had a great time, learned a lot. Would definitely use this service again.

5.00Joanna has got to be the best tour guide we've encountered on our trip to Greece. Her knowledge of Santorini was deep and covered a breadth of subjects from the history to food. This was only topped by her witty personality and charming demeanor. Thank you for the memories! Babba Tasos
