Three of us - two adults and my teenage daughter who is usually hard to impress. She loved the farm. She fed the chickens, tried the edible flowers straight from the garden, and asked more questions than I've heard her ask in years. The lunch was exceptional — the kind of food that makes you realise how much flavour you've been missing. Pyrgos was peaceful and Oia was stunning. Our driver was waiting exactly where he said he would be. A genuinely special day.

What sold me was the farm visit - I was a little skeptical but my wife insisted and she was absolutely right. The guide walked us through the microgreens and edible flowers, explained how everything is grown without chemicals, and then we sat down to the most incredible lunch. Fresh, simple, seasonal. Oia afterwards felt almost like a bonus. Back at the cable car with 45 minutes to spare. Perfectly organised.
 

We chose this tour because we'd already done the standard Santorini highlights on a previous cruise. The farm-to-table lunch was the reason - and it did not disappoint. Five small plates, local wine, and a main course with fish caught that morning. We ate outside with a view of the gardens. My husband said it was the best meal of the entire trip. Pyrgos was a lovely surprise too, quieter and more authentic than Oia, which we appreciated.
 

I've been on a lot of shore excursions and this one was genuinely different. The farm visit sounds like an odd choice for Santorini but it was one of the highlights of the day - seeing how they grow everything and then sitting down to eat it an hour later was something I wasn't expecting. The fish was incredibly fresh. Oia was beautiful as always but having Pyrgos in the morning before the crowds arrive made a real difference. Our driver was brilliant throughout.

We've done group shore excursions before and they're fine, but this was a completely different experience. Just the four of us, our own vehicle, and a driver who actually knew what he was talking about. Perissa was a nice surprise - we didn't expect the black sand to be that dramatic. Oia at the end was crowded but our driver found a spot away from the main path that most people miss. Highly recommend.
 

Traveled with my parents, both in their 70s. I was a bit nervous about the walking but our driver checked in with them at every stop and adjusted the pace without us even having to ask. The views from Prophet Elias were worth the trip alone. My mum still talks about it.
 

Third time in Santorini and I finally saw parts of the island I'd never been to. Megalochori and Emporio were completely new to me - the Kasteli in Emporio is something else. Our driver was relaxed, funny, and clearly knew the island well. No rushing, no script. Just a really good day.

We only had 6 hours in Santorini and I was worried we wouldn't see enough. Our driver picked us up right at the cable car exit and we hit everything - Emporio, the Red Beach, Prophet Elias, Firostefani, and Oia. He knew exactly when to move and when to let us take our time. We were back at the cable car 40 minutes before the ship left. Honestly the best decision we made on the whole cruise.

Exactly what a trip to Greece should feel like
From the smooth airport pickup on Day 1 to the final departure, everything was top-tier. Mykonos was stunning, Paros was an absolute hidden gem (we tried traditional games at the kafeneio during the village tour!), and Santorini's caldera views from the catamaran were breathtaking. You get the perfect mix of guided local experiences and free time to explore the alleys on your own. Cannot recommend this enough if you want a premium, authentic taste of the Cyclades.
 

The cruises alone made the whole trip worth it - An incredible 9 days.

The semi-private cruise to Delos and Rhenia from Mykonos was flawless-the boat wasn't crowded at all, the BBQ on board was fantastic, and swimming in the turquoise waters of Rhenia felt like being in paradise. Every transfer was on time, the vehicles were premium and spotless, and the team was always one step ahead, making sure we knew exactly what was next. It felt like a luxury private vacation but without any of the planning stress

Unforgettable local experiences and amazing food
If you book this, look forward to day 5 and day 7! The private village tour in Paros brought us to a tiny, authentic kafeneio where we had the most incredible homemade orange pie and Greek coffee-it felt so exclusive and warm. Then, the sunset cruise in Santorini capped off the trip beautifully. The buffet on board was fresh and delicious (not your typical tourist boat food), and watching the sunset from the water rather than the crowded streets of Oia made a world of difference. Every detail was handled beautifully
