What are people saying about Santorini

Frances_L, Sept 2026

A Perfect Personalized Day Exploring the Beauty of Santorini!

We had a wonderful private tour of Santorini, tailored to our preferences, with our amazing tour guide, Dimitri. He was fantastic and took us to so many beautiful spots while being flexible with our schedule and accommodating the places we most wanted to see. We visited Oia and enjoyed breathtaking views of the Santorini coastline while avoiding the large crowds. We also explored the charming village of Megalochori, visited Red Beach, and spent time at Perissa Black Sand Beach. We absolutely loved the beautiful beaches of Santorini—they were amazing! We only wished we had more time to relax and enjoy everything we saw. Dimitri made our day even more special by being flexible, knowledgeable, and attentive to what we wanted to do. We highly recommend this tour and Dimitri to anyone visiting Santorini!

Great experience for a 52 year old woman!

Our photo team was amazing! From the transport service there and back. The driver (Alex) stopped and bought me cough drops! Konstantinos the photographer was very friendly and definitely a confidence builder. His assistant Amy was amazing! She helped me pick the perfect color dress and accessories. I am not a selfie person and she helped me overcome my insecurities for sure! She helped me pose in ways I never would. I could see my husband’s eyes lightly up with the “wow” factor. At 52 years old that right there was worth it! She even helped me overcome dealing with sensitive blue eyes. (Sorry about your sunglasses Amy!) they also took a video with our own cellphone that we have of the moment. It was a beautiful experience! Oh and the driver back home (Mike) super friendly guy, gave us some ideas on things to see & do! Overall 10 for my husband and I.

Great introduction to Santorini

A wonderful way to see a number of Santorini sites, from popular to off the beaten path. Our guide and driver were exceptional and knowledgeable about the history of this fascinating island. The option to skip the cable car was one of the top reasons for booking this excursion but ability to see a variety of Santorini areas was priceless. A chance to swim in the Aegean Sea was great.

Half day private tour guide-Santorini

This was our first trip to Santorini. Akis was our private tour guide who did an incredible job. You can see how much he loves his island by his stories and explanations. What a great tour and great experience. Akis, thanks for the food recommendation, it was fabulous!!

Great cruise excursion!

This is a great excursion for cruisers with limited time in Santorini. Spiros was our driver who did a wonderful job. Eliza was our guide who was very informative and provided good information at all of the stops. Even though we were only there for the cruise day in port, we felt like we got a good over Santorini.

Eric_Z, Aug 2026

Flying Dress

My wife really enjoyed this. They even took a few pictures with both of us. The views were amazing! We don't have the pictures yet, but I bet they'll be incredible. We had two nice young ladies helping us throughout the process and they were both incredible. One thing to note is that although they do say they have air-conditioning, they do but it's not great at all. Bring water with you as well.

Great evening in Santorini

The cruise was wonderful. Friendly and efficient crew and good dinner. Very calming and enjoyable...and I was skeptical before the cruise! The one negative was the pickup...there were 10 of us from one site...picked up first...and hour before the cruise and we were the last ones off...a 6 1/2 hour event turned i to between 7 1/2 and 8 hours...that can be fixed!

Fantastic Time with great team !

The trip was excellent from start to finish. All the team members were friendly and helpful. This cruise packs in a lot both in the sights, the stops and the distances travelled. The team managed everything very well and gave us adequate time at all stops. BBQ was fantastic, drinks flowed. Music was great too. Snorkeling in the Aegean is a must and we were given 2 opportunities for swimming which was great! Do not hesitate to book this trip. It was fantastic.

Great Wine Tour with Mary

I would highly, highly recommend this wine tour with Mary! She was the absolute best. She was knowledgeable about the wines, had a great sense of humor, and was so enthusiastic the entire time. We had an intimate group of 9 people which was the perfect number. There were 12 wines and snack pairings at all three locations. We ended at Santo Wines during sunset when the views were magnificent. Mary also offered to take photos everywhere. Definitely don't miss out on this amazing tour!

Kristin_H, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour!

Thanos planned the perfect day for my husband and I to see as much of Santorini as you can in 1 day! We drove all around the island from Oia to the red beach and everything in between. Thanos also picked us up from the airport. Having him help with our transfer was seamless. This allowed him to get to know a little about what we like. He added a wine tour/tasting to our day as well which we very much enjoyed! I highly recommend!

Cruise day trip with Nicholas!

We did 7 excursions while on a cruise with Norwegian Pearl in late July 26. This was by far the best one. We booked the Santorini day trip as a private tour and had no idea what to expect. It was a great day. Nicholas was the best. Can’t say enough about how knowledgeable he was and friendly. He catered to our requests and made sure everyone was included. My best advice- book with Nicholas! We all got a big Greek hug when the day ended I think I even got two.

Unforgettable Highlight - take this sail

We had an amazing catamaran cruise in Santorini with a friendly, professional crew who made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. The caldera views were breathtaking, the swimming stops were fantastic, and the food and drinks on board were delicious. Highly recommended as a well-organized and unforgettable highlight of our trip.
