Pedros is excellent as a guide. Well worth the price for a private tour. Santorini is crowded, but Pedros managed to pace the tour and showed us all of what he had on the list at a reasonably good pace. He is knowledgeable, managed to take us through alternative routes when the lines are long, especially when large cruise ships arrived and the island is teeming with visitors. Excellent experience. Car is clean, safe and sturdy. Totally enjoyed the tour!

If you really want a perfect and amazing tour of Santorini I highly recommend to go with this tour and I HIGHLY SUGGEST that you ask for Petros to be your driver.He showed us Santorini as a local with all the hidden gems,restaurants and amazing photo locations.He actually volunteered to take photos of us and within an hour into the trip we felt like he was a part of our family and was constantly asking us about what kind of food we liked and whether we were able to climb certain areas so he could show us some amazing spots to take pictures where there were hardly any tourists.I would like to thank Petros for the wonderful memory you gave our family and he is one of the main reasons that we will Santorini again.

We went on the Santorini Half-Day Private Sightseeing Tour and our guide was Petros, who picked us up on time. We had a great time with him as he was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun,. He gave us a lot of information and the time allotted at each site was enough to explore. We also felt safe with his driving. Petros waa very good at taking pictures, too. We had so many nice pictures with perfect angles and excellent views. He was also checking on us to make sure if we need water, etc. We got to visit the different villages such as Imerovigli, Megalochori and Firostefani. We also went to the Profitis Ilias Monastery, Akrotiri Lighthouse, Red Beach, Perivolos and Perissa Beach. Since we were already staying in Oia, we decided to skip that part of the tour so it enabled us to visit other places or spend more time. The views were so incredible everywhere you go in Santorini. We also liked the restaurant he recommended in Perivolos Beach where we had lunch. I highly recommend this tour if you're in Santorini so you can explore other villages in the area and see the beauty of the island, not just by the caldera.

A perfect day! Our wonderful guide, Petros, showed us the best sights of Santorini in the comfort of a private van. We avoided the hordes of tourists and stopped at many places to take in the beauty of Santorini, including Imerovigli, Red Beach, Oia, Megalochori, Kamari, just to name a few. He suggested a great place to enjoy a delicious leisurely lunch along the sands of Black Beach. Along the way, Petros regaled us with colorful stories of Greek history and mythology, adding to our limited knowledge of the amazing country we were visiting. He also provided guidance to my husband who has some mobility issues. What a fantastic tour to have as our memories of Santorini!

We had an amazing time in Santorini. We started out late because the cable car took so long but he waited for us and we got going. We hit all the major places and took the most amazing pictures. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
