    Tasos was graet!! He changed up the tour to do the things we most wanted to do but really took his suggestions. He grew up in Santorini and loves his island. He made it special and really explained things to us in a way that would have been lacking ona big tour. we feel like we did and saw the best of the island. He is very nice and easy to spend the day with. If you can book him, I promise you will be happy you did.

    Luxury taxi ride but you’re own your own one you get there

    Daniel_B, Jun 2025
    You may as well take a taxi. Driver was knowledgeable and car was quite comfortable. Drive explained some history while enroute to our destination. I was a little disappointed that when arrived at the top Santorini with the maze off shops he sent us off on our own and told us he would pick us up in a couple where he dropped us off We got lost so he sent us a pin for google maps. I expected a guided tour not a luxury shuttle service He did same thing a the black sand beach. Then announce we were out of time be cause trying to find our way back to the car I don’t feel the services. were worth the price

    Hello Mr. Daniel, Thank you for joining my tour and for sharing your feedback. While I understand you have extensive travel experience, I’d like to clarify that my tours are not simple taxi rides — they are curated experiences led by a local passionate about sharing the island’s rich history and hidden gems. During our stop in Oia, the plan was to spend around 45 minutes, but unfortunately, you got lost and the visit extended to two hours. Additionally, I gifted you an extra hour to accommodate your late arrival and to fit in the small stop at the black sandy beach (which there is no tour to perform either since its just a beach). I suggested extending the tour slightly to include the Monastery and the cave houses — both unique highlights — but I understand your priority was to return to your cruise ship on time. That said, I truly enjoyed our conversation and your company throughout the day. I hope you'll return to Santorini one day, and perhaps we can explore even more of its beauty together. Warm regards, Tasos

    An enjoyable 3 hours

    We had a really enjoyable 3 hours with Tassos on our private tour. We paid for a van & got our own BMW which was a great bonus. He was very knowledgeable about the places we went to & was super flexible during the tour. He gave us some good local foodie places to visit too. We would definitely book him again next time in Santorini.

    Hello Michele, It was truly a pleasure to guide you and your friends around our beautiful island. Your wonderful company made the day exceptionally enjoyable for me. I sincerely hope you’ll return to experience more of what our island has to offer. Wishing you all the best! Warm regards, Tasos

    Tassos was the absolute best! He was so flexible and kept us laughing the entire time while teaching us so much! Thank you so much!

    Thank you, Ashley, and your friends for sharing your energy and making my day. I hope to see you all again soon!

    Not bad experience

    Saud_k, Sep 2024
    It was good But sometimes you don’t feel good enough when go around and he end up earlier than we thought

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    hi, distances is Santorini are not very big. From one side to the other on the island is just 22km. We try to cover more places for the duration you have booked without wasting time Regards

    AMAZING

    Sheila_H, Aug 2024
    Unfortunately we didn’t get thru the whole exploration but it wasn’t their fault. Our tour guide was wonderful, patient, and very accommodating. He encourage everyone s over and over to finish the tour and offered other alternatives. We declined. I would do this again, but by myself. Oia is BEAUTIFUL 💙

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Thanks a lot Sheilla. We are here for you for the next time to explore the rest of the island.

    Helpful, necessary to get around!

    Jennifer_M, Jun 2024
    Tasos was a great guide, very personable and knowledgeable about the island. Oaia was beautiful, but super crowded (summer tourists!), but he got us there safely. 3 hrs was not quite long enough to get to two beaches, so we only saw a black sand one, but had time to swim, which was great!

    Thanks so much Jennifer. Hope to see you again
