Very glad we booked this tour since it takes you around the whole island. Thasios is very knowledgeable about the island and knows tricks and secret places for the best photos. And he takes the best photos of us! He was considerate of my knee problem adjusts the pace. He is very knowledgeable about Greek culture which we appreciate a lot. Interesting conversations

I highly recommend this tour. I was only expecting to see highlights of Santorini and I did along with amazing pictures that Tasos voluntarily took of me at each site. We also had time so he dropped me off at the ruins of Akrotiri and picked me up after 35 minutes. Afterwards we went and watched the sunset. It was the perfect tour!

Just perfect!

Kristi_A, Mar 2026

It was just perfect! Dimitris was an amazing tour guide. We saw most of Santorini's main sites in only 5 hours. The tour exceeded our expectations in every way! Wear comfy shows as there is a decent amount of hill walking. Bring flip flops for the black sand beach.

Santorini personal tour

Enrique_D, Nov 2025

Truly the Ultimate Santorini Experience! From start to finish, this tour with our guide Anastasios was the highlight of our trip to Santorini. It was more than just seeing the sights; it was an immersive, informative, and perfectly organized cultural journey. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Greek culture and history. Every site we visited was brought to life with fascinating stories and context that you simply wouldn't get traveling on your own. We truly felt like we were learning something valuable at every stop. Logistically, the day was flawless. The transportation was top-notch; the car was spotlessly clean and comfortable, which made navigating the island a breeze. He ensured we saw all the key sites in a smooth, well-paced itinerary, maximizing our time without ever feeling rushed. The grand finale was the stunning sunset experience. Our guide took us to a beautiful, castle that offered an unobstructed and truly magical view. It was the perfect, peaceful end to an unforgettable day. If you are looking for a tour guide who combines professionalism, deep cultural insight, and impeccable service, look no further. Highly, highly recommend! Rating: 5/5 Stars

Tasos was an amazing...

GLYN_E, Oct 2025

Tasos was an amazing guide and a great driver on the island. His knowledge of the history of Thira is second to none. The tricks he played allowed us to the front of all the queues and saved us a lot of time. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you Glyn for your kind words! I try my best to give my visitors an unforgettable experience and to convey the history of the island.

Overwhelming tour

Israel_K, Sep 2025

This tour stands by itself on a very high standard. Tasos is the guide type you would like to have always, kind, alive and very knowledgeable. Fluent english, able to discuss and communicate on many diverse topics in an impressing polite and friendly atmosphere. Knows how to handle difficult extremely crowded situations to cut the wait. Last but not least, he is not rushing you, our tour extended substantially beyond the expected time lenght. If you really want to get the best value for your money, don't hesitate a bit and look nowhere else, pick only Tasos!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Had an amazing tour of Santorini with Tasos! He showed me the entire island, shared incredible local knowledge, and knew all the best photo spots. A perfect way to experience Santorini—highly recommended!

Must-Do Tour in Santorini!

Joe_R, May 2025

This tour is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend booking this as one of the first things you do in Santorini. You'll learn about and see all the different parts island, getting the best pictures in along the way. The guide is also the owner and he clearly takes great pride in his work. The van was extremely clean and comfortable, and he takes great photos for you (with your camera) at all the main stops. Santorini is one of those places where people stand in line forever just to take pictures, but Tasios has a bunch of tricks up his sleeve to beat the long lines. I can't recommend this tour enough, and seriously, do it first so you get the lay of the land and recommendations from Tasios before the rest of your time on Santorini.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

thank you so much for this wonderful review! 🌺 I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it a great way to start your time in Santorini. I always love sharing tips and hidden spots so you can enjoy the island without the stress of long lines. It was a real pleasure showing you around, and I’m grateful for your kind words. Wishing you many more amazing travels, and I hope to welcome you back someday!

Santorini Adventure with Vaggelis

Roxanne_W, Sep 2024

Vaggelis, our tour guide, picked us up at our Vrbo and the adventure began! He provided us with historical information about the island and insights on restaurants and must try dishes. We made several stops and were provided plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the island. Sunset at Oia was, as expected, very crowded. Being an expert, he guided us through the narrow walkways to a perfect spot to get those spectacular shots. A day we shall never forget and are thankful to him for his expertise and great sense of humor. A must if you travel to Santorini!

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Roxanne, Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! I’m thrilled you had an unforgettable day with Vaggelis on the Santorini Highlights Tour. I’m so glad he brought the island’s history to life, shared tasty restaurant tips, and guided you to that perfect Oia sunset spot through the crowds—his expertise and humor truly shine! It was a pleasure to host you from your Vrbo and ensure plenty of photo time. I’d love to welcome you back for another Santorini adventure—please reach out to plan your next visit. Best regards, Anastasios

Get Tasos for your tour guide!

Wendy, Sep 2024

Tasos Ntegiannis (his company is called ‘The Tourist’) is THE guy to take you around the island of Santorini. I have taken tours for the past 40 years and Tasos is one of the best. First, he is on time with a fastidiously clean and well air conditioned van. In the van he had plenty of cold water and juices. Second, his knowledge of the island as well as overall Greek history was extremely deep. He has lived on the island for years and has done his own independent research. Third, and very importantly, Tasos has perfected the timing of when and where to go to avoid the crowds. His ability to get you to the front of the line quickly is unparalleled. He knows how and where to take the best pictures. The best photos of our trip was taken by Tasos. Fourth, the man knows how to drive! Tasos has excellent driving skills and gets you around the island safely and quickly. Tasos gets you close to the sites with minimal walking. It was an excellent experience for my wife and I and I would encourage anyone who wants a stress-free day visiting the sites of Santorini to seek out Tasos to take them around.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Wendy, Thank you for your incredible 5-star review! I’m truly honored to be considered one of the best guides in your 40 years of touring. It was a pleasure to share Santorini’s beauty with you and your wife, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the punctual pickup, comfortable van with cold drinks, and my insights into the island’s history. Your kind words about my timing to avoid crowds, photo-taking, and driving skills mean so much! I’d love to welcome you back for another stress-free Santorini adventure—please reach out to plan your next visit. Best regards, Tasos

Day with Panagiotis

David_L, Aug 2024

Excellent journey around the island with Panagiotis. Arrived ontime/early and looked after the full family (x2 children 7 and 9) for the day. Excellent info/advice and history and all the photos you could ask for. Visited all the main sites and adequate time provided at all the stops. Even came back to return our water bottle we mistakenly left in the car once found. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the island.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear David, Thank you so much for this amazing 5-star review. It really means a lot to me and to my business. Thank you for your trust and support. I am very glad you had a great time during this tour and hope to welcome you back again one day in Santorini. All best for you and your family. Best regards, Tasos

Christos was the perfect guide for us 💙✨💙

Joy_B, May 2024

Seeing the island for the first time and wanting to get in many sights, this sunset tour with Christos gave us everything we hoped for- and at a great pace. We loved how he knew all the best spots to see that were away from the crowds and he even took amazing pictures for us too!
