Stretch your Imagination with Markos - Markos was a delightful, very well informed , passionate tour guide of Thera(Santorini) and most of all is devoted to his island, his family and his guests. He is dreaming big , but he but he keeps his eyes clearly on the road. It was a great pleasure touring with him. And he agrees with us that the best nation of all is the imagination!

Private VIP tour with Markos in Santorini - Markos was amazing from the moment we met him, he kept a smile on his face as well as ours. He told us about local history and took us to places in Santorini that we wouldn’t have known about or seen without his tour. He was funny, knowledgeable, entertaining, and even a great photographer. We had amazing food, wine, atmosphere with VIP treatment that Markos provided. If you want the private VIP treatment while in Santorini without the hassle of a crowed tour bus or shore excursion, contact Markos, you won’t regret it.

The best tour in Santorini - What a perfect day! From the moment Markos picked us up at our hotel it felt like we were with an old friend. He shared so many hidden gems in Santorini, great conversations and took us to a great little restaurant on the beach. He even stopped by the market for me so I could buy a case of water. Book a tour with Markos, you won't regret it!

An unforgettable experience - Best decision we could have made… Booking Markos for our Santorini trip. Everything was perfectly organized. Markos is an absolute professional who really likes his job and does it well. He is nice, friendly, helpful and very funny. He knows how to listen to the ideas and wishes of customers and has no problem changing the route. His main goal is maximum customer satisfaction. We saw villages and places that we certainly would not have visited on our own, tasted local specialties in a taverna on the beach and also visited a local traditional winery and tasted 6 wine samples. I recommend Markos' services to everyone who wants to experience something unique and unforgettable in Santorini.

Markos is Santorini - Markos' energy is contagious. We saw it all and then some. He is so knowledgeable about all aspects of Santorini; current issues as well as historical. When we mentioned that we'd like fresh seafood lunch, he called his friend who opened up their family-owned fish restaurant, just for us! Markos gave us a tour we will never forget. If one wants to see Santorini just once, go with Markos ... he'll tailor your tour to your likes and you'll get the best of Santorini!

Unforgettable! - Markos made us feel like we were the only ones on the island! His knowledge of the area is unmatched and he has a passion for showing people the land he loves. He took us to the popular areas as well as local less crowded areas. This was an unforgettable experience for me and my family!

Markos is the Best! - From our first contact, Markos was very responsive. We were arriving on a cruise so devices to disembark as early as possible. We left our boat at around 7:30 in the morning or able to avoid the long cable car lines. Markos met us in Fira and took us to Oia. He provided us with a lot of information on the way. He told us we could take as much time as we want in Oia. Our early arrival allowed us to miss the crowds in Oia. After an hour or so, he took us to a small village in the center of the island, which was quiet and quaint. We then went and had lunch on the beach at a restaurant that Marcos recommended. The food was excellent and recently priced. Just back off in Fira at 2:30. We were a party of 10 with 3 small children. Markos was very patient and even provided car seats for the children. Overall I would highly recommend Markos to anyone visiting Santorini.

Markos is Santorini - Markos is beyond amazing! From the moment you get in the car he makes you feel like family. He shares the true Santorini with you. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Greece and we could not recommend him more. Thank you Markos for sharing your island with us and we can't wait to return to share another adventure with you!
