- Profitis Ilias - The tour begins with the visit of the highest spot of the island (567 meters) located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain’s name, Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), is coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia. The Monastery was built in 1712 and it always had a very important role for the life of Santorini during the centuries especially as an active intellectual and patriotic influence.

Awesome tour in Santorini - It’s our first time visiting Santorini. We had about 2-3 hours before the booked Airbnb check-in time. So we decided to spend a short trip around the island. Kiriakos is our tour guide who gave us not only an amazing trip experience but also went beyond. He quickly planned a few suggestions including to stop by a winery that kicks in the vibe of our vacation. Thanks for such a great tour.

Awesome 1/2 day Santorini tour - At the last minute we decided to do the 1/2 day Santorini Road Trip- our guide was Kiriakos. He was AMAZING! Started the tour by giving us recommended sights and then asking us what we wanted to see. He was professional, knowledgeable, and gracious. Took us to a medieval village that we otherwise would not have found! We had teenagers and grandparents on the trip and there was something for everyone.
Kiriakos showed us that there is much more to Santorini then just the blue domes!
Highly recommend this awesome excursion!

Great tour and guide - Santorini is very crowded, as expected. The half day tour enabled us to see more than we expected in limited time, and get away from the crowds some. Our guide, Vasilis, "Billy", was wonderful. We can't say enough about how great he was. He would have given us more time at each place, but accommodated our need to get back to our ship on time. We were able to walk around Oia, and make stops in Meroviglia, Pyrgos, and Firastefani before returning to Fira and our ship. We feel very fortunate to have chosen Golden Key and have Billy as our guide, as we didn't know what to expect when making the reservation. Our only regret is we were running low on euros, and weren't able to leave as large a tip as we would have liked. We definitely recommend Golden Key, and especially Billy.

Family Tour_Santorini - Vasilis gave us an incredible tour of Santorini’s famous landmarks. His deep knowledge of the island’s history made it an absolute pleasure to listen to him. He was extremely supportive throughout the trip and even took us to a wonderful and well-known restaurant for lunch. Vasilis truly made us feel at home. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Santorini — his service is truly outstanding! He also connected me to a flying dress photographer who was truly amazing.

Santorini is my favorite stop on this cruise - Sakis was the absolute best tour guide ever. Even with the crowds from 5 cruise ships coming in to port he made sure we did not miss anything. Asked to make sure we saw the beautiful sunset and he made it so special. He was awesome at coming to find us to keep us on task to make sure we missed nothing. I keep posting each day my favorite to least favorite spot on this cruise and Santorini is still our #1 out of 12 day cruise.

Excellent half day tour - Sakis was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our half day tour. He picked us up in a clean, new Mercedes and planned the trip to avoid too much walking in the heat. He took us to all of the spots for photos and views as well as a monastery. He explained a lot about the island and gave us recommendations for our return to the islands. Highly recommend Sakis and his company.
