A perfect day with an incredible guide - We had the absolute best tour with Thanos! He loves his homeland, and he loves to share its stunning beauty and rich culture. We learned so much and saw so many beautiful sites. We even got to visit some lesser known gems. Thanos is so knowledgeable and made our visit one we will always remember. Everything was seamless. I would give Thanos 1000 stars if I could! And we have definitely fallen in love with Santorini. Can’t wait to come back!

Great Santorini tour with Michael - Our tour guide Michael was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. He was one of the best tour guides that I have ever experienced. He was very flexible and since we did not have specific plans, he took us all around the island. We had a very nice lunch at black beach and also had a nice wine tasting experience. If you are headed to Santorini on a cruise ship, definitely the way to go. Also the price probably would compare favorable to the the cruise ship excursion prices, and so much better. Thanks Michael. You made our day great.

Great tour of Santorini! - Niko was an excellent tour guide! He even took photos for us which was really appreciated. Loved seeing the 3 Bells Of Fira, Megalochori and the cave house, the red sand beach, lunch at the black sand beach and a winery. Niko was informative and engaging. We had such a fun time! Highly recommend!

The Best Tour Guide - Our tour guide Panagiota and the driver George were amazing!! Panagiota is absolutely the best tour guide we had in Greece!! She explains the history of every site we saw so thoroughly and clearly and answered every question we had! It was a well-organized tour and she was so kind to take plenty of pictures of me and my husband. I definitely recommend having Panagiota as everyone’s tour guide and is certainly the best and most knowledgeable. She took her time with us and made sure we were enjoying every moment of it!!! Thank you Panagiota!!

Adventures with our mother - George was an amazing guide, letting us self direct our family of 6. He took us to all the highlights, bought us treats from the bakery and gave us a parting gift. We didn’t have time to see all that Santorini had to offer but what we did see was amazing. We walked a lot that day and ended the day with a great meal at Black beach. George got us back to the cable cars in time to board our ship.

Tasos is such a great private guide - We are so lucky to have a brilliant weather at Santorini and furthermore, lucky enough to meet Tasos as our private guide. He guided us visiting Santorini efficiently from north Oia to the lighthouse from far south. We took a lot of amazing pictures, some are rarely known by tourists, but local people like him. We had a fantastic lunch near black beach, where we had a great seaview and delicious seafood and authentic fava that Tasos recommended. Thank you, Tasos! Thank you for bring us so many good memories to your hometown! p.s. Thanks also to George who contact with me and explain me with all the process about Cruise tendering. That makes me ease of mind before arriving.
