Santerini - see it from the inside out!
Lots of walking - I clocked 6,500 steps.
Our Tour guide, Victor, was exceptional. We learned a lot about the history of Santorini. Part of the tour included seeing a cave from historic days. Our lunch on the beach was delish. The views are breathtaking.
Our driver somehow got us in and out of our stops before they got crowded!

Great island tour!
Dimitris was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. He made our time in Santorini unforgettable, taking us to incredible spots and sharing his knowledge of the island. One of the highlights was the amazing winery he introduced us to the Art Space Winery - easily one of our favorite experiences of the trip thanks to Dimitris and Maria! Dimitris was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the entire experience special. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Best of and wait time
What a great tour! George was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly and great camera man - he knows how to set you up for the perfect shot. Highly recommend this tour. If on a cruise ship - expect an hour or two for tender and tram ride, may even be longer.

Great! Just watch the image distortion on wide shots...
I loved it!! They were so natural and helpful and encouraging and captured wonderful images. The only drawback was on images that were set to wide lens, whomever stands in the center of the image stays proportional, but the further you get to the edge of the image, that person gets stretched. There were multiple images where I looked 20 lbs heavier and my husbands hand on my waist looked abnormally large b/c his hand was in the stretch zone as was I. It made my face look rounder and puffier too. So, photographer should keep the woman in the center of the image to avoid the stretching, or simply not have the image set so wide. (in attached photos, the first one demonstrates the abnormal stetch... see his hand on my waist, and I look super large. Other photos are some of my favorites.)
However the rest of the images were stunning and gave me a lot to work with and keep. next time I'll work on not so much leg. :)

Santorini half day highlights
Be aware that there are a lot of steps up and down—that’s true for Santorini and not only this tour.
Our guide, Theo, was a lovely person. Very good English, attentive to the people, and knowledgeable. Only six in our group so good opportunity to learn about each other too.
Recommend doing the optional wine tasting. Very enjoyable without any pressure to purchase.
Driver, Manos, was skilled and also kind.

Fantastic Tour!
Our guide Alex was great and we loved all of the stops, especially the last two! The small village Megalochiro was really nice. I wish we had more time to spend in a few of the local shops. And the last stop for lunch and the black sand beach were great! The seafood at the restaurant was fantastic! I highly recommend this tour and Alex as your guide if possible to request!

Excellent overview and avoid the cable car
Very good pickup at the tender port, boat to different dock where we were met by mini-buses (12 guests per) and our guide Alex who gave excellent commentary about Santorini. A little history, a little about economics, culture, science, and the magnificent views.....He made sure we had health breaks and opportunity for snacks/food and some shopping. The driver did a super job on the twisty, narrow, crowded roads and returned us to the dock where we again boarded a boat to the tender port. This was an excellent tour for an overview of Santorini and avoiding the gondolo/cable car. Alex was attentive and knowledgeable and personable.

Great way to see the Island!
This was a great way to see most of the island and the major photo-op locations.
We started the tour with Elpida and then Duke took over after the 2nd stop. Both were engaging and very knowledgeable of the island and Greece’s history.
They were also focused on making sure we were happy with the itinerary, answering questions, and maintaining a good dialogue throughout the tour.
They did a great job of planning the stops and routes to avoid peak crowds.

Trip seemed a little...
Trip seemed a little chaotic at first as meeting time changed and there was no one at the meeting point initially. Large group was put into a boat to transfer to dock avoiding the cable car but once we arrived we were all split into smaller luxury buses. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable and ensured the whole group were looked after. Great way to see Santorini in a short space of time. Would liked to have spent more time in places but the sheer numbers of people from the cruise ships made it impossible to get around quickly. Great restaurant recommendation from the guide too and we got back in perfect time for the boat to take us back to the tender.

Cruisers! You Want to Book this Excursion!
Avoid the cable car madness and book this tour while in Santorini! During our cruise there was a 4 hour queue to ride down to get to the pier to tender to the ship at the end of the day! Booking this tour ahead of time helped us avoid that whole debacle! Our tour guide Alex was so wonderful and helped make our time in Santorini special with his commentary about the history and ways of life on the island! He took us to all the places on our itinerary and made sure we got some great photos! The lunch spot he took us to called The 41 was delish, get the Rose on your Nose cocktail! Thanks Alex for the best time in Santorini!

Best Tour Guide and Private Tour Company over Two Weeks in Greece!
I cannot share enough positives about the experience we received from our tour of Santorini provided by Kallisti Private Tours. While most passengers on our cruise ship were displeased with their tour experience provided by the cruiseline, it was our favorite experience over two weeks in Greece. Theodore, our driver, was extremely informative, engaging, and knew how to navigate the city in efficient ways and avoid big crowds and long lines. We hit all of the typically crowded tourist areas before the crowds, took a fabulous winery tour and tasting, shopped where the Greek pottery is actually made, and ate at a great restaurant on the beech. Our deepest gratitude goes to Theodore and Kallisti Private Tours for a day of special memories. We give them our highest recommendation without reservation!

Family hike Fira to Oia
Arsenios our guide was great. With a family of 6, from young to middle aged he kept a good pace engaged in interesting conversations for all of us and was knowledgeable of the ins and outs of history, landscape and picture taking. Definitely recommend.
