My husband & I went on this 10 hour group tour. It was totally worth it! Totally AMAZING! Gregory who was our driver & tour guide knew about the whole island. He was extremely knowledgeable. We wish we could give this tour more than stars!

A whole day ( just over 10 hours) seeing the whole Island. As we were the only 2 from Perissa we were picked up by car and taken to meet the mini bus further on but on the way back the mini bus took us right to the hotel door. The hardest part walking up the hill to the first Castle was done first so sturdy footwear is a good idea. (I changed to sandals after this one). The Interactive Music Presentation at the Symposion Cultural Centre was amazing. Place Gregory recommended for lunch was so nice that as we were actually staying in Perissa we ate there the next evening too. Each stop we were given so much information and history of the Island. Our last stop of the day was Oia for the sunset where Gregory directed us to the best spots to see it then gave us all some free time. We would thouroughly recommend this tour to anyone.

We had an excellent full day tour with our guide Michael. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We had fun stops at the music cultural center, and an excellent wine tour at the underground museum.
