2.Traditional Villages Full day Tour in Santorini

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 84 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $65Best value

Spend about six hours seeing Santorini’s ancient Akrotiri, black-sand Perissa Beach, traditional Emporio, Mount Profitis Ilias, and the Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum. An English-speaking guide and island pickup handle the transport, while lunch and Akrotiri admission cost extra.

“The mini-bus in which we were taken, there were some people who had paid 39, which was the cost of another package. We paid 68.00 and don't understand what we gained by paying so much extra. I discussed about their tickets after befriending them during the tour and came to know that they books on the same day that we booked. Do you think that passengers in the same bus will not talk to each other? So I will never recommend Viator. I am now thinking if we were cheated in a similar manner in our earlier trip in Nice, which was booked by Viator. Anyway, we will never book…”
