One of the best tours we've ever taken! - Maria & Stelios were fantastic! The communication with them prior to the tour was quick and easy. We were met at the cable car with umbrellas to protect us from the rain, the car was immaculate and both of them were friendly. Maria's stories were interesting and the tour took us places that large tour buses cannot go. We never felt rushed at all. We toured Oia at a gentle pace (even with time to pet the cats!!) Maria took us to the blue dome churches and she stood in line so that we had time to take other photos. We learned so much about the past and the present. We also went to a small village, Megalochri, and saw original caves and ended with time at the black sand beach. Our shuttle from our cruise ship was late and they made things work. They recommended a great place to eat that the locals also love. In the end we felt like not only had we seen all of the island but that we gained friends too. Don't miss out on this! EXCELLENT

5 Star Tour of Santorini! - We had the most wonderful tour with Sara and Stelios. We ended up getting a private tour because the other group rescheduled. And we had the option of extending our tour to fit in more villages at a reasonable price. They contacted me before the tour the day before and were able to adjust our pick up spot so that it was closer to our Airbnb. The tour was in a large, clean van and they provided us with water if need be. They made sure to take us to spots where we would get the best views and allowed us some time to shop. They said they usually don’t have time for that in season, one of the pros of going to Santorini in March. The tour was able to take a more relaxed pace. They ended our tour at a lovely restaurant for lunch with fresh fish on the black sand beach. 5 star tour!

Stelios and Sarah were my... - Stelios and Sarah were my guides for this tour and it was amazing. Despite going during the slow season they made it a really enjoyable experience and showed off how to get to places that would otherwise be filled with tourists and hard to reach during a busier time of year. Incredible experience.

Must do tour - We had an amazing experience on this small group tour in Santorini truly a must-do! Sara and Stelios were an incredible team…Sara our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making every stop interesting and engaging. She knows many secret spots. Stelios, our driver, was equally fantastic, professional, safe, and always smiling, which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. The small group size made the experience feel personal and unhurried, and everything was perfectly organized. This tour exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour of Santorini Island. - We had a wonderful experience, taking the semi private tour with Stelios and Maria. They were both friendly and very knowledgeable about the island. We got to explore five different little towns and villages and Maria was ready and willing to take our pictures, as she knew the best spots and angles to get beautiful backgrounds. I highly recommend You take this tour whenever visiting the beautiful island of Santorini.
