Our guide Nikki was excellent and extremely knowledgeable.

We had a great private tour with George. He was extremely knowledgeable of the sites and history but as importantly he knew how to navigate around the crowds. He was a pleasure to spend time with and to experience Santorini.

We were delayed in getting off the ship due to having to tender and the rough seas. George was our guide and he communicated freely with us via WhatsApp reassuring us that he would be waiting for us whenever we were able to get there (for those that do not know - the meeting point is at the top of the cliff but you arrive via tender at the pier down below. There is a gondola or you can walk or ride a donkey to the top). Though our time was cut short by a couple of hours, George took the stress away by reassuring us, being so kind and flexible! He was warm, engaging, and tailored the time we had to maximize our experience according to our preferences. We ended our day with the most delicious meal at a seaside restaurant of his recommendation. Amazing!!

Luisa_F, Jun 2024
We would highly recommend this tour. Tasos, our guide was very informative and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Tasos ensured that we were able to see the sights before they became too crowded. We were picked up at 8am and dropped back to our hotel by 11am and that gave us enough time to enjoy the sights. We would recommend this tour as you get a much more personalised experience and you best the crowds. You will notice lots of other tours which are much busier and arrive later in the day. We bypassed all of them and focused on what we wanted to see. Thank you Tasos, you helped us have a great experience.

Tasos showed us the beautiful blue domed rooftops, explained the culture on the island, got us to wonderful locations of breathtaking views for great photos, and got us as close as possible to the cable car. He was so kind and patient especially with my mom who had walking issues. Highly recommend!!!

Our guide, George, met us in the melee that was the top of the cable car! How he found us in that mob I’ll never know! Great personality and fun to be with, we had spirited conversation about Greece, past and present. He expertly guided us to the areas that were important for us to explore and get the best experience on Santorini! After he left us we made our way back to the cable car. The tour operator sent us a message informing us that two glasses of wine were waiting for us at Kastro and to ask for Thanos. We were shown to a beautiful table with a million dollar view and treated like royalty by Thanos! A marvelous ending in Santorini!

Brian_B, Aug 2023
The tour was great. Kostas, our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The only issue we had is that there were several cruise ships in at the same time in the line for the tram to get up to the village. It was an extremely long wait and took over an hour, so we lost time from the tour
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Dear Brian,
We would like to thank you for your positive review for your local guide Kostas and your private experience with us.
Regerding your issue for the busy port and the cruise ships, is totally something beyond our control. It is unfair to be charged for the cable car misorganization and the disembarkation situation.
We would like to wish you the best of health and we hope we will see you again in the near future.
