Our guide Katerina was...

Our guide Katerina was punctual, informative, and able to cater the tour to our interests. She took lots of photos for us. Our 4th time to Santorini, but most memorable.

Viator tours always come through for us.

Our guide was missing in action (apparently due to a flat tire). There was no communication from him until we emailed Viator services. Once they were notified, they quickly resolved the issue by assigning a new tour guide who gave us the best tour. He even added a couple extra hours to make up for our experience. We toured the infamous area for White House’s and blue domed churches, spent time wine tasting at the oldest winery in Greece, drove around other parts of Santorini, and had lunch at a very interesting restaurant before getting back to Fira. Demitri was the best and we really appreciate Viator stepping up to ensure we had a great time. This would have been a 5 star except for the original guide communication to Viator. Five stars for the tour with Demitri.
