Santorini Tour - George & Toni were amazing. They thoroughly explained the history of Santorini, which we were eager to know all about. They are friendly, patient and kind! We have never experienced such warm and inviting tour guides with such a wealth of knowledge - fantastic! If you’re looking to know the history of Santorini, then look no further. The wine tasting included helped too! If you’re seeing this George & Toni, we’d like to say a big THANK YOU!!

Akrotiri is way cooler than Pompeii & Wine is always better with a Greek friend! - George & Tonia were amazing! We had such a great time learning about the history of Santorini, seeing beautiful sights along the way and of course wonderful wine to top it off! From our time in Santorini, this was one of the highlights that we fondly remember and will recommend to everyone!

Professionalism and conviviality - We spent an interesting and fabulous moment with Tonia and George. The timing was perfect. They shared their knowledge of their Island with us, and were very kind to answer to our numerous questions. A fantastic morning with them. We’ll be back for another private tour. 👍👍
