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!

A perfect tour - The company went above-and-beyond! Our cruise ship had to change ports last minute and had delayed tender boats-they messaged me back right away and were super flexible with rescheduling our meeting place and time! Just incredible. The van fit all 6 of us comfortably, was brand new, with excellent AC and cold water waiting (we arrived during a heatwave), and was much appreciated. Our guide Mariel was prompt, warm, friendly, patient (4 kids), flexible, and asked us what we would like to do and see. We went from each village, to the highest overlook down to the beautiful beaches and caldera. We visited the museum, churches, shops, made a pit-stop at a delicious bakery for lunch and got to snap beautiful photos of all the famous landmarks and natural beauty spots around the island. He gave us a running commentary filled with historical and current facts about Santorini, just wonderful. He took incredible care of us and I would recommend this company and guide to anyone-especially families! No hassle, no driving, no parking headaches, no crowds, and all the flexibility for everyone to enjoy their day and fall in love with Santorini.

Loved it! - This tour was a great experience. Marios is very knowledgeable, courteous, and personable. Not only does he know the entire island well, he knows how to get around the various tours so that you are not stuck in huge lines ruining your experience. Because this was a private tour he was also flexible about adding or subtracting sights. Highly recommend!
