Amazing tour with the local Ioakeim Gavrilis - An amazing tour from a great local!! We had a wonderful time on our recent tour with Ioakeim Gavrilis. It was so great having a local and he was so fun. He taught us so many customs and why things are done the way they are. He was a great, knowledgeable, expert in Santorini. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family that come to visit. He knows a lot about wine because of his family. And he knew the best routes to get around and we were so appreciative of the great tour!

Best Tour Guide! - This tour with Makis has to be the the best private tour we have ever been on. Makis was so knowledgeable. We spent almost 5 hours touring the island of Santorini. There were places we would have never ventured out on our own. We ended the day trip with dinner on the black beach at 41. The food and service there was masterful. Thanks Makis for making that day so informative and special.

I highly recommend your next tour with Makis! - Unforgettable Santorini Tour with Makis! Makis is an incredible guide and extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and truly engaging. His historical tour brought Santorini’s rich past to life, from ancient ruins to the windmills, all woven with fascinating historical insights. The day ended with a stunning fine dining experience at Restaurant 41, where every bite and every view was absolute perfection. A flawless mix of culture, beauty, and luxury. And the view of the sunset. Makis was a phenomenal guide and I highly recommend his tours.

Half-day private tour of Santorini with Junior - 10/10 would recommend! - My cousin and I had a half-day private tour with Junior and it was really wonderful! We saw all the sights we wanted to see all over the entire island and he gave us a lot of Greek history and the history of the island itself. Junior was very friendly and humorous, always keeping our safety as his top priority. Greek hospitality at its finest! Would highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Junior!

An Expensive cab ride - This was just an expensive cab ride. No useful content, no guidance at historic locations. Why was this billed as an "historic Santorini" tour? This was merely transportation to one old site, and to one view spot.
