Review of Santorini’s full-day bus tour to Akrotiri, Perissa, Emporio, a winery, and sunset in Oia, with practical tips on value and pickup.

“The tour was great and our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. Docking the two stars because we didn't visit the Akrotiri Archaelogical Site as this tour states. We weren't given an explanation other than "This tour doesn't go there, another one of our tour does", but we booked this one, the one that included it, and we were definitely in the correct tour as we were called by name. It was a bit disappointing as that was the main reason we picked this tour over the others.”

Review of Meteora’s small-group sunset tour, with Saint Stephen’s Monastery, hermit caves, Byzantine church, transport, tips, and value.

“This was the highlight of our 3 weeks in Greece. I have been multiple times to Greece and always wanted to see Meteora. It is off the beaten path of Greece so was always hard to plan. This tour was fantastic. Lina was so knowledgeable about the monasteries and the history. We went to multiple photo stops, St Stephenson’s monastery, went to see the hermit caves, and the last stop was the sunset rock to watch the sunset. Great night. The tour is a little longer than 4 hours.”
