The best of Santorini

Wonderful private tour of Santorini with the best guide you can ask for! Babis was outstanding! His knowledge, friendliness and personality made of this one of the highlights of our vacation! Make sure to ask for him on your travels! He went above and beyond!

Santorini's experience with Viator

Amanda_M, Jul 2023
Our tour with Thomas was amazing! Thomas is very knowledgable of the historical sites that he took us to and explain the history behind them. He went out of his way to make sure that we got to see what wanted to see, all 7 of us. And that was not easy. This was our first tour with Viator and it was the best decision that I made. I am on the Princess cruise and have been talking to everyone that I meet about the excursion experience with Viator. Thank you Thomas so much for making our Santorini a pleasant experience.

Fantastic

Edward_K, Jul 2023
Nicholas is excellent. He is very knowledgeable, informative, personable and funny. He was able to modify the tour to gear to our interests. He was able to accommodate my wife somewhat limited mobility due to recent knee replacement surgery. A truly great tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Great day in Santorini

Pete_K, Jun 2023
Our guide Thomas was great. Our family really enjoyed the tour and it was a great way to see the island. This was my first time using Viator to book a tour internationally and it was easy to find our guide and communicate ahead of time.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Fantastic Experience on Beautiful Santorini

MARY_M, Apr 2023
Great experience! Very informative! Fantastic tour guide! We had gelato together. She was willing to take us anywhere we wanted. She was so nice and super friendly.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Esteemed Guests, Thank you for your warm review. We were truly honored to host you during your island getaway. Sending our best wishes your way!

Worth the money

Everitt_W, Nov 2022
This was a great experience. The price was a bit high for me, but we had the entire mini bus to ourselves. That was so worth the price. We were able to tailor the tour to our needs and wants. Perfect!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Guests, Thank you so much for your exciting review. We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed this experience. Hope to host you again in the future. Best Regards

Oia with Kostas!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Guests, Thank you for your warm review. We were really glad to be your hosts during your short stay on our island. We wish you the best and hope to see you again! Best Regards,

Nickolaus was a great...

Tiffany_A, Oct 2022
Nickolaus was a great tour guide. He took us to the key parts of Santorini and his knowledge of the island was wonderful. We enjoyed our time with him.

Driver had lots of information and went out of his way to make our tour memorable

Connie_B, Sep 2022
The views, the history from the guide and the weather, the arrival and departure sucks need a better way

Santorini made easy with Kostas

Kirsten_C, Aug 2022
Kostas was by far the best travel guide we had on the trip! He made it fun, took us to the best spots, and tailored the trip to our large family group if we wanted to do something or skip something. HIGHLY recommend using him. The small bus was comfortable and he even had cold waters for us. One of our families with us decided to rent a car and the rest of us went with Kostas and we are so happy that we did. Not having to worry about driving on Santorini or being stuck in the city was amazing. We would use him again if we go back!

Wonderful and worth it!

Taylor_G, Sep 2021
Wonderful - our guide made sure to take us places we haven’t seen yet and was so accommodating. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Santorini

michael_H, Sep 2019
Great way to see island. Local guide meet us at top of cable car as arranged and our tour began with the breathtaking views from the top of Fira and then onto the village of Oia also the most beautiful views where we wandered around for an hour. Grape growing and wine making was explained while travelling around and guide took us to the best locations to see and photograph. When having limited time from cruise ship we had great experience on this tour.

Tres agréable

Guy P, Apr 2019
