Tour guide Vanessa was amazing!

We dd a four hour trip with Vanessa, she was very informative, knowledgeable and we loved her! She made the whole trip fun and we fell more in love with Santorini. She helped customise our 4 hours and it work out brilliantly. We were staying in Fira so for the tour we went to Oia, Imerovigli, red beach in Akrotiri and Monastery of Profitis Elias.

Great time and perfect timing in Santorini! Thanks Evans!

We only had a short amount of time on Santorini due to our cruise ship stop and Evans tailor made the experience perfectly to meet our needs. He brought us to all the key stops efficiently, gave us some cool insight into the history of the island, was a great photographer and chaperoned us perfectly given our very tight timeframe. He knew all the best spots on the island and found us a great vantage point for a beautiful sunset off the cliffs of Oia. Perfectly timed and perfectly executed!

Amazing Santorini Tour!!

Our time in Santorini was wonderful thanks to this tour and our amazing local guide Thanos! He was great! His love and pride for Santorini was so evident. He was friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. He brought us to wonderful places and guided us past lines and helped us get awesome pictures. He gave us so much information about Santorini and the different villages there. The place he recommended for lunch was so delicious and the price so reasonable. This tour was definitely a favorite of the many tours I’ve taken in my travels. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. You won’t be disappointed !!

Best guide on Santorini

First of all, the company was great at accommodating our change of port. We were initially gonna go to the Fira lift, but there are already five cruise ships in the bay so we decided to go to the ferry port where we met our guide for the day, Theodore. Right off the bat he was super friendly and personable and started explaining where we are as we drove up the hill. He is a local resident and was able to drive us all over the island. When we got to OIA, he was able to take us through some secret passage ways to avoid all the crowds. He was also a great photographer and took probably a couple hundred pictures of my wife and I throughout the day. He pointed out Arius Seitz that I do not think we would’ve seen on our own. To end the day, we went to a local seafood restaurant, which was on the Black Beach and was probably the best food we’ve had our whole trip. Theodore was a great guide and I would highly recommend him and his company to anybody seeking a customized personal tour on Santorini. This iwas also one of the best tours that we’ve had since we’ve been on vacation.

This was an excellent...

This was an excellent custom tour of the island of Santorini. We saw so many beautiful sights and really enjoyed learning about the island from our guide, Yannis. He had a wonderful personality and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. Yannis provided interesting historical information about each of the sites we visited while also making sure we had plenty of time to take pictures, explore, and truly enjoy each location. We chose the sunset option in Oia and were able to enjoy the sunset from a beautiful location away from the crowds, which made the experience even more special. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini. Having Yannis as both our guide and driver made the experience even better. It was a fantastic way to see and experience the island!

A day full of Santorini's best sites!

Tasos, our tour guide, went above and beyond to make our experience today an exceptional one. He listened to what we wanted and did exactly as we wished. What a guy! He is so friendly, helpful, gracious, and knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for more in our afternoon of exploring. We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. One of my favorite moments was sharing a coffee with him on top of the town where the castle coffee shop is in Akrotiri. We saw the Minoan ruins, which was fascinating, and the cute windmills, and the beautiful lighthouse and all the views that go with it. We drove to the peak where the monastery is and saw the small church up there and the 360° views from the top. He gave us an excellent recommendation for a late lunch following the tour and dropped us there in Fira so that we could explore that location on our own. His attention to detail is unmatched! He's very, very thorough with everything he does, including safety. We had the best day!! I wish Tasos all the best!!

Hands down the best experience!

OMG! If you are looking for a truly memorable and luxurious experience, look no further! From the pick up to drop off, these folks made us feel like celebrities. The boat was epic, the food was world class, but the best part was the staff, they are world class, these guys really know how to do it right!

Perfect Santorini Photos with private tour

We hired Fon for an Instagram photo private driver tour around Santorini and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the island — full of local stories, history, and insider tips. He grew up on the island! He took us to the famous blue domes for that classic Santorini photo, and even took the photos for us so we could both be in the shot together, which was such a thoughtful touch. He made sure we hit the best viewpoints and spots at just the right times to avoid the cruise ship tour buses and the whole day felt relaxed and personal rather than rushed like a typical group tour. The Mercedes min van was cool with WiFi and AC. Fon had ice cold water for us as it was hot mid afternoon. If you’re visiting Santorini and want a driver who really knows the island and makes the day feel special, ask for Fon. Highly recommend!

Great experience , ...

Great experience , incredible views. The food is fantastic, the hospitality is 2nd to none. We travel many places and this place will not disappoint. Lots of shopping, not too pricey. The wine is also something to try. Refreshing whites and pairs well with the food. Our driver was very informative,so we also got a history lesson during the day as well.

Santorini Beyond the Postcard

We had an amazing guided tour of Santorini with Sara and Stelios. The experience was very personal, thoughtful, and rich in details. It was much more than just seeing the famous views. For anyone who wants to understand Santorini beyond the obvious postcard image, this tour offers a deeper look into the island’s culture, history, landscape, and everyday life. Sara and Stelios shared stories and insights that made the experience feel authentic and meaningful. It was a beautiful way to connect not only with the place, but also with the people and the soul of Santorini.
