Traveller reviews
Did not realize bus ride would be as long as it was. Saw the island and had a good overview of it’s history.
This was a nice relaxing way to see the island of Santorini. Demetris, our driver, was kind and compassionate. He was also skillful at navigating tight parking and winding roads. We loved our stops at Pyrgos village and Black Beach. Our lunch was excellent. My sister has difficulty walking, and Demetris made sure that she was okay at all times. Thank you!
The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was enjoyable to travel with. He showed us sites that we hadn’t seen on the tour that we took the day before. We feel like we really got to see most of the island
Mario's picked us up from airport and he suggested he could provide a private tour for us. I discussed with his boss and came to an agreement for price and tour length. Excellent value for the money! Also Mario's was outstanding born and raised in Santorini so we had a very special tour with him. Mario's also suggested picture poses and was very happy to take beautiful pictures of us.best tour in Santorini
We had a wonderful experience working with this company. We were able to customize it to what we wanted to see and do. We also used them (Holiday Mood) for multiple transfers and they were very accommodating and flexible with us when making changes. Their communication was excellent and they even provided restaurant suggestions, which were great. Highly recommend!
Mario was our guide/driver and he is awesome! He was very professional and friendly, extra patience with the seniors and we enjoyed our time in Santorini with him very much.
Mario’s picked us up from our hotel and took us all around Santorini and sharing information about each place. He was brilliant and driving was perfect. He made it special. We enjoyed our tour tremendously and would recommend this company. We will definitely be using them when ever we come back to Santorini.
George made sure to take us to iconic sights in Santorini. He customized our tour to accommodate everything we wanted to see and do. It was comfortable, flexible and relaxing. The restaurant he recommended was superb too. Airport transfer was a breeze. Highly recommend!
