10/10 experience on our Honeymoon - 10/10 amazing!! Our tour guide Theo (Ted) took us to see the entire island during our half day tour. It was our honeymoon, and he went above and beyond, taking over 200+ pictures of my wife and I at all the beautiful landmarks. We even had the chance to stop and have a nice lunch overlooking the volcano while he graciously picked the car up (30 min walk away) after a wonderful stroll through Fira! Theo was also extremely knowledgeable about the islands history, vegetation, volcanic activity, religious significance, amongst many other things! We even got to ride back after stopping at the local brewery to sample some of their local offerings, per his suggestion! This was worth every penny and allowed us to feel like we were fulfilled in our exploration to Santorini in this one singular tour. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Thanks Theo!

Perfect Day With a Perfect Guide - Our driver Theodore took care of every detail for my wife and I (we did the 8-hour customizable tour) and turned it into an unforgettable, perfect day neither of us will ever forget. At every village we visited, Teo knew exactly where to go for the perfect photo opportunity - plus he is an expert photographer with your phone! He took so many amazing pictures of us in front of stunning views!! Every detail was taken care of to perfection - whether it was a place to eat (a perfect beach club), photo opportunities, and even bathroom breaks. The day was capped off by his best work - he secured us dinner reservations at an amazing restaurant in Oia where we had a perfect view of the sunset and an incredible meal. Dinner was only after he guided us through the sunset-viewing crowd like we were celebrities in order to get a few more amazing pictures. All in all, a perfect day!!

Top-tier experience with Teo - Theodore (Teo) was the best guide ever! My husband and I booked this private tour not knowing what to expect. Teo exceeded our expectations! We told him we wanted to see the sunset. He immediately called a restaurant and booked us a table so we could watch the sunset as we ate dinner. We told him we wanted to go to Black Sandy Beach. He took us to an amazing beachside restaurant for lunch. We told him we wanted to see the blue dome churches. Not only did he take us to see them, he took some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen. Teo was patient, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. He made our trip to Santorini one that we will never forget.

Magnificent Private Tour of Santorini! - We booked a private tour yesterday with Viator to see the main highlights of Santorini. Our group of 3 was contacted by Viator with the pickup very close to our accommodations. Our driver, guide was Theodore. He took time to listen to what we would like to see and planned our tour (4 hours) accordingly. Theodore was outstanding with his knowledge of the history of this island and how it operates today. We viewed many places from the Black Sand beach, to many villages and the spectacular sunset at Oia. He guided us to beautiful views and sights. Theodore was extremely courteous with our requests, made sure that we were comfortable and answered our many questions with confident expertise. His knowledge of the island, excellent driving, special touches, and concern for our requests made this a stellar trip. He could be rated with 7 Stars! Book it and enjoy the adventure!
