Nick was an wonderful guide, excellent driver and very personable. The tour was able to be customized to the areas I wanted to visit and he made us aware of how any changes would effect the time. Highly recommend tour for an easily managed day.

Great day sailing

Robert_R, Apr 2026

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great day and enjoyed the experience. Just to clarify, our service is a private land tour with a driver-guide rather than a sailing tour; however, we’re very pleased that you appreciated the comfort, service, and overall experience. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back to Santorini again in the future! Warm regards, The Kallisti Tours Team

A fantastic day in Santorini!

Lonnie_G, Apr 2026

Theo was the perfect guide! He told us that it was "our day" and then fulfilled that promise. He tailored our tour to meet our desires on the fly. For example, as we walked through Oia, we mentioned that we'd like to try local beers. He immediately took us to a wonderful rooftop restaurant overlooking Oia and the water! Later, we decided to drop the black beach and Theo rerouted accordingly. Theo also knew the best spots for photos, hidden gems that most tourists will never see, and he had great knowledge of the island's history and volcanic activity. This was truly a day well-spent and we saw all of the sites we wanted to see and more!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Amazing Cultural & Wine Tasting Tour in Santorini

BrendaM_F, Jan 2026

Stella at Kallisti Tours Santorini was amazing! She was superb tailoring our Private Tour based on our preferences (The Wineries and Historic Sites we wanted to visit). And Theodore was the most incredible Tour Guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the History, Culture, Wine and culinary Heritage of Santorini. He was also extremely patient and flexible, thus we did not feel rushed at any time. This is one of the best tours we have ever been. Santorini is simply a breathtaking and magical Island. Highly recommend this Tour!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Amazing tour!

Patricia_F, Jun 2025

Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English. He was flexible with the plan for the day and was great to make his own suggestions. He even stopped at a local restaurant with the most amazing food for lunch. By the end of the day, he felt like a friend instead of just a driver.

Michael is the best tour guide!!!!!

Krista_J, Jul 2023

Michael was the absolute BEST tour guide! He took us to all of the main attractions on the island with the best views. He was super knowledgeable about his country and made the day so much more enjoyable. He even made us reservations to see sunset at a local winery at some of his favorite spots. Worth every penny and more!!!! We can’t wait to go back to Santorini now!!
