Hidden gems of Santorini - Theodore was amazing! He knew & shared all the history of Santorini with us. He made sure we experienced all the hidden gems of the island, including The Volcanic museum and winery & the black sand beaches. But our favorite thing was when he took us to the farm to table restaurant. Heart to Heart (English translation) the food was fantastic & the view spectacular. He was our photographer, tour guide and a fun guy. Highly recommended Theodore & the private tour!!!

One day super tour of Santorini - This was a ten year anniversary trip and we planned a day in Santorini. We hired a guide through Kallisti to give us a private tour of the entire island. He was extremely informative, very friendly, took lots of pictures for us and gave us suggestions for winery, lunch and dinner. We learned a lot about the past history of the area and the present. We’ve had friends that did the trip without a guide and had no idea what they were seeing. We had a very educated trip. Our only request was seeing all the highlights and capturing great pictures. He went out of his way to take many pictures, beating the crowds and took us to many great photo spots and used his island friendship connections to show us the best of Santorini in such a limited time. Theodore was absolutely excellent!

Theodore was an amazing guide for an amazing day in Santorini - We had a 12 day Viking tour, 5 days in Athens and 7 at sea, for our anniversary trip this year. While Viking is great everything is focused around guided historical sightseeing tours. 12 days of that is just a bit too "serious" and so I took one of our free days and booked Santorini. We took an 8a out of Athens on Aegean and we're at Santorinis dinky little airport by 915a where we were met by Theodore of Kallisti Tours. Theodore had spent his entire life on the island and it showed. When we landed I told him all we wanted was to take some fun pictures of us together at a few of the islands noteworthy sights and he took over from there. He left us alone for some couples time here and there but was always there to snap our picture for us when we needed it. I especially appreciated that he had so many friends and relatives on the island who welcomed us to get to some really hard to access spots for the perfect pictures even when surrounded by the day cruise crowds. Santorini is one of those places you can actually see in a full 8 hour day, but is likely best enjoyed over two with an overnight stay at one of the stunning hotel properties. And if we do, we will be asking for Theodore by name!

Great tour in Santorini. - Theodore was such a great tour guide—professional, kind, and really caring. He made sure we felt safe and kept the schedule running smoothly. Theodore even knows the best angles for great photos! We got to see all the best spots in Santorini, and he would always bring the car around so we didn’t have to wait after taking pictures or grabbing some ice cream. He knows so much about the island, and you can really tell he cares. We also loved the chill, upscale vibe at the black sand beach club. Totally recommend booking a tour with him!
