The Santorini tour was amazing. The guide was friendly and did a great job sharing the history of the island.
I would recommend this tour.

My husband and I did a full day private tour, around 6-7 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end! Theodore was our tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun. He drove us all over the island and gave us a lot of information I don’t think many tourists get when visiting Santorini. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant, a little off the beaten path, but on the beach, for a DELICIOUS meal and some great local white wine. Overall wonderful tour! We loved Santorini and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Theo!

What a 10+ day! Theo customized our tour to all the scenic viewpoints and unique locations! The BEST way to experience Santorini in a fun and carefree way! We avoided the crowds, hit the beach areas that the locals cherish, and found the perfect spot to view the sunset! Theo added interesting facts about the history, culture, traditions and geography of Santorini! What a great guy and fantastic experience!

We had a great time touring through Santorini on a private tour with Theo, an informative guide, and a clean car. We were able to customize our tour to view whatever we wanted, but we trusted Theo to take us to places we needed to see. From secret picture locations to back alley streets, Theo knew the entire Island. Strongly recommend Kallisti Tours.

Theodore was amazing! He taught us so much about the island and its history. He tailored the tour for our interests and we had a blast. Since he was local, he knew the best places to bring us. He was thoughtful about the entire experience and made it a special day. He was kind, too. My mom left a sandal in the van and we told him not to worry about it but he went out of his way to get it back to our cruise ship. I highly recommend taking a tour with him, and I wish I could give him an extra star!

Theodore was an excellent tour guide. He did an amazing job taking us all over Santorini and answering our questions. Would definitely recommend taking his tour!!! Don’t go on a big bus where you have to do a lot of walking. He took us right to the entrances so we didn’t have to walk. He also took lots of pictures of our family for us. Don’t miss out. Worth the money!!!

Tomas was a warm and kind guide who drove us around the city and showed us many great sites. My father has limited mobility and he accommodated us perfectly while providing great commentary on the city. He even stopped us by some great shops to buy gifts and wine. Great relaxing day in the city.

We arrived by cruise ship and only had 4 hours. Our guide Michael communicated with our group prior to our arrival and was at the top of the hill waiting for us. Michael gave us the best tour and provided so much information on the history of Santorini. He took us to the best places for pictures. I highly recommend Michael and this tour! Thank you Michael!

Mike was a very good tour guide. He showed exactly what we wanted to see and even reserved us a table at the Santos Winery with an amazing view.
This custom tour was exactly what we wanted. We reccommend it for you too

My husband and I had an Incredible experience with fabulous driver/tour guide Michael! For 4 wonderful hours he showed us the breathtaking highlights of Santorini and shared so much about the people and the culture of one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited. Michael doubled as an expert photographer, and we have gorgeous photos of us and spectacular Santorini to last a lifetime. We had an amazing day and hope to return to Santorini for a longer stay sometime in the future. Highly recommend this tour and are grateful for an amazing day!

We had a very brief time in Santorini on our cruise. We wanted to see so many different parts of the island so we decided to go with this private shore excursion. We told our driver some of the places that we wanted to see so he took us to Profitis Ilias, the black beach, the red beach, Oia, and the Firostefani blue domed church. It was a whirl-wind and we wish that we had more time on the island to really spend time and enjoy each location, but our driver was great getting us to see all the places and making sure we still had enough time to enjoy the town of Oia. I would definitely recommend this excursion for anyone on a time-crunch wanting to see as much of the island as possible.
