Best of Santorini in a day! - This was a great choice and best money spent!! Good communication, easy pickup! Our driver Tazos was extremely knowledgeable about literally everything related to the island and the grapes, history, and so many other things, secret places to get the best photos. We really enjoyed him as well as the island paradise. His passion for his home and his job is very evident. Nice Mercedes Van with AC very safe and sane driver. We highly recommend!

Perfect 6 hr. Tour! - We booked this tour in hopes of seeing Santorinis best spots and giving us an idea of where we would like to spend more time. It did not disappoint. Our 6hr tour started with Panos picking us up promptly, in a very well maintained vehicle. He was friendly, knowledgeable and just fun to spend time with. Our list of places was covered along with a few he added. Panos knew great spots for pictures and the winery tasting tour was the perfect way to end our day. These tours can be tailored to you and the times too! This tour was everything we could have hoped for!

Santorini in a Day—exceeded expectations - Our guide Nikosas was on-time, with a clean car and a smile. Our transport exceeded expectations! It was everything we wanted, what was promised and then he kicked it up a notch. We feel this was the best way to see all of the highlights of Santorini in a brief one-day excursion. Of course there is more and we will be back; however, Nikosas made it possible for us to enjoy the best of Santorini on our first visit!

informative, fun - Santorini is so much more than *just* the view and seeing the island was beyond our expectations. Leading up to our tour they were very responsive and helpful. They were also very accommodating customizing our tour - there were a few sites we wanted to see such as the Akitori ruins, we did not see other sites since that was a bit farther/longer of a tour. The ruins were AWESOME. Our guide Nikos had a lot of helpful insight about the agriculture and layout of Santorini. At the end of our tour he dropped us off at Paralia Perissa, one of beaches and we spent the rest of the afternoon lounging and enjoying the VERY COOL surroundings. Truly unique and would recommend it to anyone

Amazing trip - It was so great and an amazing tour around the island! We saw hidden gems and touristspots - but our guide made sure, that we saw what we wanted and that the trip was everything we dreamed of. Thank you so much for all the new knowledge we have about Santorini and for all the great places you to us!

No clue what to do in Santorini? No problem here — You need this! - We were quite clueless on where to actually go in Santorini. Our driver’s name is Aris and I highly recommend him! First, he is extremely knowledgeable about Santorini. We had several questions about the island (including a lot of historical and cultural questions) and now we feel extremely enriched from the knowledge he gave us. We trusted him to make a good itinerary and every location was a banger. Second, he is excellent at managing the limited time we had (5 hours). We managed to go to several places and still have time to relax at a specific location. The fear of hiring a private car service is that due to the flexibility in terms of locations, you will not have enough time to see everything and you would have to sacrifice some locations. With Aris, we never felt like we were being rushed or we were running out of time. We made it to every location we planned to go to. Finally, he is a great conversationalist. It made the trip not feel monotone and overall the vibe of it was immaculate. BONUS: Excellent photographer (from someone picky when it comes to photos)

Private guide to see the whole island - ask for Aris! - Aris was spectacular. He understood our interests and was knowledgeable. We efficiently saw everything on the island in six hours or fast action. Tons of great photos too!
