What an awesome way to explore Santorini when we just had one day on a cruise ship to see this island. Billy was tour guide and he was a 10 out of 10 and beyond. He gave us so much history and knowledge of the island also taking us to the best places that we could see in the short time that we had ion this beautiful island! We had such an incredible experience and would HIGHLY recommend !!!

Great Tour in Santorini!

We had a wonderful day with Ioannis (John) in Santorini! This private tour with just John and the 2 of us in a comfortable Audi sedan was just what we were looking for. Despite being from Thessaloniki, John spends months every year in Santorini and was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to adjust the sightseeing stops based on our needs and desires. This was the perfect private, customized tour! We saw the island from north to south and also wanted to add a winery tour, so he made a couple of phone calls then gave us 2 options, and we ended up with the perfect afternoon wine tasting with Greek mezes overlooking the shimmering Aegean. It was an absolutely great value and I highly recommend John and this tour!

We had ourselves a grand time. Nickolas was prompt, professional, personable and very knowledgeable about the city and Greek politics. He gave us plenty of time at each location. I would highly recommend this tour and request Nickolas. Peter and Charles
