Excellent! We were met at the top of the cable car and taken to the office. Here it was explained where we would go. We were then taken to our driver, Christos, who was amazing. There were 6 of us and we shared with one other lovely couple, so a group of 8. The itinerary was pretty much our choice and how long we stayed in each stop was our choice. We were on a cruise, so had to stick with our ships boarding! Only advice would be to stay the full 2 hours in Oia if you wish to eat as well. Thank you Christos for a great day

Nice tour for first timers to Santorini. Our guide Mael was awesome. Very friendly, energetic and had a nice, cute laugh. Driver Tassos was great, getting cold drinks ready for everyone. Cable ride was too long. With the money they make, you would think they could add more cable cars. Tour good cable ride bad

Great trip , our driver was Thomas . He very informative and had a bit of chat with him also , 4 of us on the trip and we all enjoyed it , we were brought to very scenic views , Do make sure you get your self to the cable car in plenty of time to go back down to the port , there was a queue with a wait up to 1.5 hours at 2.30 pm . Bring an umbrella with you to protect you from the heat if you decide to wait in the queue . We ended up walking it , but it was a bit frightening in areas as it was slippy , my legs were in pain for a couple of days afterwards , wear good walking type shoes with a good GRIP on them , I seen people with trainers who nearly slipped . It can be a bit smelly with the Pooh from the donkeys so bring a face mask in case , Sabtotini was beautiful. We had no problem getting up on the cable car as we left the ship at 9 am to get on the tender boat to port
