What are people saying about Santorini

Rhonda_B, Jun 2026

The Perfect Day in Santorini-Thanks to Pedro !

We booked the Full-Day Private Tour of Santorini Caldera & The Most Famous Sightseeing starting at 10:00 AM, and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our vacation. Our guide, Pedro, was spectacular from start to finish. He gave us wonderful local recommendations, navigated the busy streets effortlessly, and guided us directly to the best vantage points around the famous and not so famous blue domes and cliff view, for flawless, crowd-free photos. The itinerary was packed with incredible stops. We explored the unique black beaches and stopped for a wonderful lunch right on the water at Forty One 41 and went to Kamari. We also fit in some great local shopping, visited the historic lighthouse, and took in the fabulous, sweeping views of Red Beach, the dramatic coastline, and the caldera itself. Having a private guide made this packed day feel completely relaxed and stress-free. We cannot recommend Pedro and this tour enough!

The tour guide was very...

The tour guide was very professional, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the entire experience. The activity itself was excellent, and I learned a lot from the experience. The guide encouraged questions, asked for feedback, and made sure everyone felt involved and comfortable during the tour. The tour was absolutely worth it! We were able to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of Santorini and experience everything the itinerary included. The transportation was also very convenient; they picked us up at the Hotel mentioned on the itinerary, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Well worth it!!

Sara was one of the best guides ever. You must request her if you can. The tour is long and well worth the money. They will tailor to your desires. We wanted the local experience and stayed away from the super busy tourist spots. It was fantastic. We did go the 41 for lunch and that was a must do!! Overall fantastic day!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Tour Guide in Santorini – Highly Recommend Makis!

We just returned from an unforgettable full-day tour in Santorini with our family of five, including our energetic three-year-old, and we cannot say enough good things about our guide, Makis. From start to finish, he made navigating the island feel effortless and truly special. Makis picked us up in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes van right outside of the cable car exit. He was incredibly patient and accommodating with our young child, always making sure we had everything we needed and adjusting the pace whenever necessary. He took us to all the historical sites we had on our list, sharing interesting stories and insights without ever overwhelming us. What really stood out was how flexible he was with our schedule. He happily stopped for shopping, arranged a wonderful lunch right on the beach, and perfectly timed our evening at a beautiful winery where we watched the magical Santorini sunset. Every request was met with a smile. Makis is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares about making sure families have the best experience possible. He turned what could have been a tiring day with kids into one of the highlights of our entire trip. If you’re visiting Santorini with family (or without!), book with Makis without hesitation. He’s the best! Thank you so much, Makis – we’ll never forget this day! 🙏

Randy & Patty in Santorini

Our tour guide Thanos, was absolutely fantastic. As a native of Santorini, he shared so much local knowledge and gave us a truly authentic experience of the island. He took us to several breathtaking scenic spots that we never would have found on our own, and each stop felt thoughtfully chosen. His passion for Santorini really showed through in the stories, history, and recommendations he shared throughout the tour. He was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini and looking to see the island beyond the typical tourist areas.

Definitely recommend! Highlight of our Greece trip!

Felt like being taken around Santorini by a family member! LOVED George, our guide and driver- he managed to take us to wonderful places, take beautiful pictures of us there (somehow SANS other tourists in the background, even though it was already May!) learn about the island's history, AND have a wonderful meal in one of the most picturesque restaurants.. Definitely recommend! Highlight of our Greece trip!
