To make your arrival smoother and more comfortable, we offer an optional water taxi service, allowing you to skip the cable car completely. This boat transfer takes you directly from old port to either Ammoudi Bay (Oia) or Athinios Port, where your driver will be waiting for you. This option helps you avoid crowds and save time, offering a more relaxed start to your Santorini experience. The service is optional and available upon request at an extra charge of €190 per way (for up to 6 people). As we do not have addresses on our island, the picks up can be always directed by Google map links .

    Excellent time, exceptional tour!

    This was an amazing tour of Santorini. The only way to see the hidden spots and gems of Santorini is a private tour like this. My grown daughter and I flew over from Athens for the day and did the 5 hour tour. It was incredible. Our tour guide was so friendly, very knowledgeable, took amazing photos of us at all the breath taking sights. I highly recommend this tour and would go again in a heart beat on another trip to Santorini.

    Santorini - the best tour guide

    Beautiful island

    Isidoros did such a great job showing us all the amazing sites of Santorini, what a beautiful island with so many treasures! Great day!

    The best total island tour!

    Monica_M, May 2025
    What a wonderful day! From one end of the island to the other we saw everything and then some. Our guide Isidoros grew up in the island and knew every nook and cranny. He was knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. He took us to what he said was a local known secret, no tour buses or tourists called the heart of Santorini. One of the most memorable pictures we have from the trip. He made sure we saw everything that was promised and then some all the while making sure we did it at our place. Very delightful young man and truly an asset to the tour company. Would highly recommend this tour.

    A private tour of a lifetime.

    If I could give a 100 star here I would. Our private tour guide George was amazing. So friendly. He made the tour our tour. What do we want to do. When we told him we want to just see as much of the island as we can. He took us to all the key spots. There were large crowds, but he was so knowledgable how to bypass the crowds we were walking down back alleys, etc. at the end we even went for a last-minute wine tour, he simply called the winery and they got us in and we got a private tour from the owner. I would highly recommend this private tour with this company. In addition weeks before the tour I communicated with the company. They were always quick to get back to me. Plus our tender was 20 minutes late. I had no stress communication from the company and was told to just relax and they will wait for us. George then extended the tour past the time because we were late. George was amazing!

    Extremely recommended. You won't be disappointed.

    Extremely recommended. Our guide, George, was very knowledgeable, helpful and timely. He took shortcuts for us to squeeze in as much as possible. We were able to access paths restricted restricted normally to the public as he knew the locals there well.

    Great tour!!

    The most memorable parts of our experience was actually George, our tour guide, and his humor!! He made things fun and light, while also educating us on each of the areas!

    An Absolute Must Experience

    This was my husbands and I first trip to Santorini- but not our last after an incredible day with Nikos. One of the most kind and genuine tour guides I’ve got the pleasure of meeting. He taught us so much! He really knows the best spots. He brought us water and showed us a place to eat after. If you can book anything it needs to be a tour with Nikos!!

    Excellent service with Mocanu Travel and Guide George (Santorini done right)

    Dewana_a, Jun 2024
    First our guide was very professional, knowlegeable about the culture, and considerate of our time. He knew how to skip the lines and pick the best places for pictures and the right stops to see things that interest us. No pressure to do what he wanted and no rushing. George picked the best spot for food on a laid back beautiful beach area with fresh seafood and great ambience. We arrived early up the cable car and they accommodated us by picking us up at a designated spot that was safe. So many people and hot but our guide ensured we experienced everything that was personal to our desires. His recommendations were spot on. The communication with MOCANU TRAVEL was excellent. They reached out each day to confirm and answer my questions. Communication done easy. Enjoyed the modern air conditioned van on a hot day with bottle water. Even took time for souvenir shopping. The views are breath taking. George got us back early to cable car as the line was extremely long to get down. Walking down seemed cumbersome 400 steps. Overall I would book them again and again. Until next time. Thanks for an excellent breath taking experience.
