George and Holiday Mood Service - 5 / 5 rating !!! - George from Holiday Mood was a perfect guide for our visit in Santorini. Right from the pick up from the airport to providing us a very informative, friendly and private tour of the island, George was a great companion, more like a friend on tour with us. Not to mention a very comfortable car that George has, the entire experience was excellent. My family and I absolutely loved George’s service and we would highly recommend to engage him when visiting the island. George made a stunning island even more memorable. Thank you George !!!

Great tour and transportation services - We had an amazing experience on this private
5-hour tour in Santorini with George. He was not only professional and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the island. He took us to breathtaking viewpoints, charming villages, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own.
We also used George for private transportation.
His vehicle was spotless, and the service felt smooth and reliable from start to finish
What made our trip even better was his great food recommendations-he suggested fantastic local restaurants that offered some of the best meals we had during our trip. It truly felt like exploring Santorini with a local who cares about making your experience unforgettable.
Highly recommend !!!!!!!

Tours and transfers - We took a half day tour around the island with Holiday Mood and also used them as transfer/taxi service to and from our hotel. She was helpful with planning our pick up time since we were on the ferry arriving that day. Marios was our driver. He was there to pick us up a few minutes early and stopped for us to get a bite to eat since we hadn’t had food since breakfast. He was a great driver and knew so much about the island. He asked about what we wanted to do and the best way to get it all done with the limited time since we also stopped for food.
Holiday Mood was also quick to reply when we wanted transfer service and sent the license plate numbers which was helpful. All of the drivers we had were kind. I highly recommend Holiday Mood while in Santorini.

Great tour - We had 1/2 day, comprehensive tour. Peter was very personable, knowledgeable and open to make the experience ours. He took us to all the Island’s greatest sights, knowing the times when to avoid high tourist volumes.
Highly recommend this tour.

Must do tour - A great tour with Marios , 5 hours in an extremely comfortable air conditioned van. A flexible tour where the importance is what you would like to see. Marios is well informed and a delightful and experienced driver. There were three of us all over the age of 65 and we all enjoyed it throughly.

Tour of Santorini was Spectacular! - Our tour of Santorini was so much fun and informative! Marios showed us the best time, explained to us the history of Santorini and drove us to all of the places we wanted to see - plus he suggested a few on his own. It was an amazing and fun filled day! We all highly recommend Viator when booking a tour and request Marios when in Santorini! There was also an issue with seeing a winery that was supposed to be part of our tour - I reached out to Vasiliki, and he handled everything so professionally. We could not be happier!

Perfect tour with flexibility and luxury! - Excellent in every way and flexible when we were delayed by late tenders from our cruise ship and a last minute port switch-they were awesome and picked us up!
