30th Wedding Anniversary

Cleopatra was an incredibly kind guide who truly gave her best. Thanks to her, our 30th wedding anniversary trip was absolutely wonderful. We were able to learn so much about Santorini and take home countless beautiful memories and valuable knowledge. We also left with a very positive impression of the place. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Small Group Sightseeing Tour: All Santorini’s Treasures

Linda_M, Jan 2026

Best Tour Ever!

Sometimes in your travels you meet the perfect person, on the perfect day, in the perfect place, …. and that is what happened on our tour of the island of Santorini Greece! Our tour guide, Christos, was beyond wonderful. He shared the history of the island as we drove to incredibly picturesque photo stops. He drove to places we never could have seen or known about without him. One of our favorites was the Church of Prophet Elias built in 1750 on the top of a high mountain. We even met the man who is the caretaker and helped rebuild the church after it was destroyed in the 1956 earthquake. He drove us through adorable villages and to the top of the highest point in Santorini. He took us to the black sand beach and found the best seafood restaurant called Perivolos Fish Tavern. We all had fresh fish that had just been caught from the sea! It was excellent! He shared so much interesting information with us and listened to all our many stories, too! On our way back to our place in Oia he even agreed to stop at a market so we could pick up a few groceries!! Chris is not only an absolutely magnificent tour guide but a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful man! Best Tour Ever!!!❤️

Amazing sites even in off-peak season!

We had a great experience with Nicholas on our all day tour. He tailored the itinerary to work best with the November Sunday date given many sites were closed and we still had a great time. He was very engaging and gave us great background about the history of Santorini (along with the villages we visited) and Greece overall. He took us to some great photo taking spots and made sure we were able to see all that we could during the 6 hour timeframe. Highly recommend!

Skip Sky Tram !!! Hassle-Free 5 Hour Tour for Cruise Passengers

Tracy_H, Nov 2025

Expensive but great way to see Santorini stress free!

This is the one stop on our cruise that I splurged for this tour. I didn't want to deal with the cable car to go up or to go down. So this was the priciest tour we took on our whole 14 day cruise. We are so glad we did! This was a super way to see lots of the island and do it stress free. We enjoyed all the stops. Our tour guide was Victor and he was a super delightful tour guide! He was so good to share with us all the knowledge he has about Santorini and Greece and it was so enlightening! If you have the opportunity to have him or request him, you should!

10 Years ATV/Quad Experience Santorini Tour- FREE Transportation

Isabel_G, Oct 2025

Not just an ATV ride but a full island experience with tour guides ADONIS & PAULOS.

Our group of 15 led by Adonis & Paulos was the best way to see & explore Santorini. Our guides started with a practice run. Then led us to the black sand beaches with a short stop & photo op. They took us through dirt trails & hidden paths to the village of Megalochori. We stopped & walked the cobblestone pathways, thru the whitewashed villages & up to the highest parts with epic views. Our guides not only shared informative facts, they also took photos of our group. The tour continued to the cliffs with beautiful views of the Caldera & the Aegean Sea. And last we stopped in a little village for a wine flight & snack! What more could you ask for? It was a perfect way to spend the day, see the sights & make great memories with friends.

Exclusive Cooking Experience in our Cave Home by Petra Kouzina

Jennifer_V, Oct 2025

Authentic, Beautiful, and Unforgettable Experience

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini! It felt incredibly authentic—fast-paced, engaging, and filled with a true sense of Greek family warmth. The setting inside a traditional cave home was pristine and beautiful, with an upscale yet cozy atmosphere that felt worlds away from the tourist crowds. We loved that we got to prepare and eat the very dishes we touched and cooked ourselves—everything was delicious, and there was plenty of wine flowing throughout! The hosts shared their beautiful family story, making the experience feel personal and meaningful. It was also very educational—full of practical tips and recipes we can now bring home to extend the charm of our Greek adventure through its cuisine. A high-end, off-the-beaten-path experience that we’d absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Santorini!

The best decision ever!

We booked a 6 hour private tour and could not have been happier! George ( our driver) was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, friendly and very informative. The Mercedes van was fantastic! He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things Santorini has to offer - from popular tourist attractions to hidden gems. He gave us tips and suggestions as we explored Santorini. We appreciated how helpful he was and we really enjoyed getting to know him! We could have easily spent several more hours with him. It was definitely the highlight of our 12 day adventure around Italy and Greece. Seriously-we rave about that trip and George every chance we get! Don’t hesitate to book this excursion- the entire process was smooth and communication was wonderful!

Captivating Experience

Five stars all the way! Theo was an absolute gem of a host and tour guide. His knowledge lit up every corner of our trip-whether it was hidden history or local secrets, he shared it all with such genuine passion. He's brutally honest in the best way, keeping things real and fun without a hint of fluff. But what really stood out? His kindness-it radiates, makes you feel like family from minute one. We're so grateful for him; he made our adventure unforgettable. Theo, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Unforgettable experience.

This was truly an unforgettable afternoon. The tour was semiprivate which we share with a pleasant and friendly couple. The three wineries we visited gave us three different experiences, great dinner, great sunset view, while enjoining good wine and a relax atmosphere. Our guide Nick was just great, very knowledgeable and attentive. Thanks to him we had an unforgettable experience.

My husband and I did a full day private tour, around 6-7 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end! Theodore was our tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun. He drove us all over the island and gave us a lot of information I don’t think many tourists get when visiting Santorini. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant, a little off the beaten path, but on the beach, for a DELICIOUS meal and some great local white wine. Overall wonderful tour! We loved Santorini and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Theo!

Get to know Santorini

We had a wonderful day with Penny and our driver George! Penny is very knowledgeable and experienced in getting around and ahead of all the cruise ship passengers. She is very kind and her love of Greece shows in how much she shares with you about this island. George is an incredible driver in the chaos. We experienced rain and fog on our way up to the highest point on the island and he handled it like a champion. Do the wine tasting! Penny is VERY knowledgeable about wine as well. Thoroughly enjoyed our day - highly recommend this excursion!
