Which Bus Tour Should I Choose?

GET VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS FROM LOCAL EXPERTS Which Bus Tour Should I Choose?

A bus tour around Santorini will allow you to explore the island’s most beautiful and popular sights all in one day! Especially, for those visiting the island for a short period of time, it will be a perfect choice, as in a few hours you will set your eyes on scenic villages, stunning beaches like the Red and Black beach, and important historical sights. Not to mention the spectacular sunset in Oia that you will have the chance to witness at the end of some of the tours!

This is a brief guide on which bus tour you should choose based on your vacation plan, your interests, and your preferences. Some of the essential factors to consider are the duration of the tour and the level of privacy offered.

-Private Bus Tours: If privacy and comfort are all you seek, then a private bus tour is the ideal choice for you! Your personal vehicle will take you to all the top attractions of Santorini, and your own experienced guide will offer you useful information and insights into the history of the island.

-Duration: Whether you wish to spend an entire day exploring the island or just dedicate a few hours touring around, there are various tour options available. You can choose between full-day tours or 5-6 hour tours, private or you and your group, or shared with other people. You will get to visit the same spots in most of them, but the longer the tour, the more time you will have to spend at each location!

-Cruise ship visits: If your plan is to visit Santorini during a cruise, it would be advisable to arrange a private bus tour, which provides you with the flexibility to tailor your itinerary and starting time. As your time on the island will be limited and you will have to queue for the cable car, a bus tour is the most efficient way to make the most of it! Your personal guide will meet you at the top of the cable car and you will start your touring experience around the island. The tour will also end at the same spot.

-Wine Tours: For wine lovers and those who wish to meet Santorini’s rich history in wines, there are several bus tours available. All of them involve visiting some of the most well-known wineries on the island and experiencing wine tasting of various wine labels while sampling traditional local snacks.
