The adventures begin late morning with pickup near many island hotels. Head first to the tranquil village of Megalochori to enjoy the sites and the village’s atmospheric allure. Then, visit the Red Beach, just a short walk from Akrotiri, where you can relax and take photos.

Continue on to Perissa Beach, where you can swim and sun on the striking black sand and enjoy lunch nearby (own expense) during your free time. Climb back aboard the bus for a ride up to the 18th-century Prophet Elias Monastery, situated on the highest point of the island. Although the monastery itself is now closed to visitors, you can still admire sweeping views and snap photos from the churchyard.

In the evening, admire Santorini’s unique landscapes from Firostefani and Imerovigli. Finally, cap off the day with a visit to Oia village, considered one of the most photogenic places on Earth. Stroll through the narrow streets, browse local boutiques, and catch a spectacular sunset over the caldera before the tour concludes with drop-off back at your departure point.

Average tour, but saw places outside of major cities
Gaby_V

The Santorini full day door was mediocre. The archeological site where the tour starts off was incredible and the guide was very thorough. ( additional €12). We went to the black beach for 2 hours to have lunch and “explore” for 2 hours, which was too long, in my option. There an no shops at the beach, just bars/restaurants and lounge chairs. This stop is nice if you want time at a local beach. We then went to the highest point for about 15 min, but took about 15 min each way to get up there. While the view of the whole island is nice, it could have been avoided. After the wine museum and tasting, the tour leaves little time in Oia. While it is mentioned that you only spend 1hr 45min there, it felt very rushed, especially with the massive crowds of people. Our tour guide was friendly and nice and having a bus take you from one point to another is convenient

Didn't get pick-up on time
Joy
, Jul 2021
Nobody picked us up at the said location and time. We have to ask a local lady to make a call to the company, finally they came to pick us up after 40 minutes waiting. We missed two places because of the late pick-up. Otherwise, the tour met our needs.

The tour was AMAZING and a great way to see many sights of Santorini! The guides were very knowledgeable and wonderful to talk to! The bus was a great touch and a wonderful relief from the Santorini sun. It truly was the perfect start to our trip! You are going to want to do this for sure when visiting Santorini!

Great tour!
Anush_Aleksanyan
, Jul 2021
What a great tour! They covered lots of different areas of the island: history, culture, different panoramic views, beach, etc. The guide (John) was very knowledgeable and funny. We had a small group of 6 people, and the group bonded from the beginning and it was really an enjoyable experience. Also was very nice that they picked up and dropped off directly at the hotel, less stress. I can only highly recommend!

All day Santorini tour
Susan
, Jul 2021
The tour guide was outstanding, but due to Covid(?) the tour operator combined several tours into one. This meant that I was unable to go to a couple of the places that were listed on my itinerary. For example, while I was looking at ruins, others that were on a different tour went to the red sand beach so I didn't get to see that even though it was on my tour. Also there was much confusion about the pick up and drop off. Due to the language barrier I am not sure what the additional costs were for

Not the best of Santorini
Louise_P
, Sep 2020
Best bit about the tour was the free time in Oia. I dont normally leave bad reviews, but I felt really disappointed with this tour. Two of the attraction we were meant to visit were closed due covid. This wasnt mention at all, until we then looked it up ourselves. The tour felt really rushed had 5-10mins in some locations and then 2hrs at the beach where there wasn’t much to do. Felt it would better instead of being at the beach to spend more time in other parts of the tour. Some of the pictures used to advise the tour are deceiving, thought we would be able to be close up to the blue domes, but this wasnt the case. I dont think this tour shows the best of Santorini. I would like a refund.
