Best Santorini tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Great tour: the tour guide (Tanya) was out of this world, knowledgeable and funny. On a single day you visit the monastery at the top of the mountain, walk through a really historic town (Megalochoriou-Akrotiriou), visit the Akrotiri museum, walk to the red beach and finish the day with lunch at Perissa beach and swim.

Excellent tour with a little bit of everything!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a beautifully balanced day with the most amazing host Tania. Not only did you get to see so much of the island, and learn souch history, but she was very helpful, funny and kind. What an amazing way to explore Santorini!

Peter & Elka from Ireland - The places we visited are truly unique.

Published on Oct, 2024

My wife and I had a wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable and funny tour guide named Tanya. She speaks at least 5 languages ​​fluently. The places we visited are truly unique. We highly recommend it.

Day in Santorini

Published on Oct, 2024

Good day. Enjoyed all the stops. Very interesting. Tour guide was friendly. Pickup was easy. I liked seeing the typical Grecian town.

More than just the site

Published on Sep, 2024

Tanya the tour guide with Kamari tours was great and seemed to be having fun! It was a good value. The archeological site is a separate fee because it is run by the government and the guide there will be specially trained and licensed. Only they are allowed to speak about archeology and historical at the site.
