Intimes Santorini – Landausflug in kleiner Gruppe und Weinprobe

The guide was excellent and the driver was great! The tours in and around Santorini were also great as the guide was fabulous!

We tendered from our cruise ship and took the cable car up to meet our guide. There were only 2 others touring with us so it was very comfortable. We got an early start and it felt like we had Megolochori all to ourselves. We really enjoyed walking through the village and even got to visit a cave which had been used as a dwelling in the past. We visited the Argyros winery for a very nice tasting accompanied by local items to snack on. And on to free time walking about Oia which is stunning and already buzzing with tourists in May. We had ample opportunity to ask questions and get our guide's insights about the island. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Santorini is very hectic; the extreme shortfall of cable car capacity vs the volume of cruise ship passengers results in a frustrating experience at the island. That said, this excursion provides a variety of experiences across the island, from the highest point, to the beauty of Oia, to a fun wine tasting. Megalachori was underwhelming; perhaps the weather, and we did not stop in Pyrgos. Could have used more time in Oia (beautiful), but there's not much to do but eat, shop, and take selfies anyway. Will likely not return to Santorini if I can avoid it, but for an all-in-one-day non-ship intro to Santorini, this fits the bill. Not a bad trip mind you, but we had much better ports on our ten day cruise . There were 16 people in our tour on a mid size bus, but many of them were not very mobile. We waited a lot. We are mid-40's and reasonably fit. Usually non-ship options filter out the mobility challenged, but we did not experience that on this trip. Excellent driver, friendly energetic guide.
