Our private tour was incredible! Our time in Santorini was limited and our six hour guided tour around the island was informative and educational and George was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Mike_C, Oct 2025
We spent a great day in Santorini with George! While we visited Oia which is a must go to in Santorini, I also feel like we got to see a lot of things off the beaten path that we wouldn't have been able to experience with a big group and George was very knowledgeable of the area! George also got us reservations at a nice restaurant in town where we could eat and see the sunset before getting back on our ship. For the price, this was 100% worth it!

The best decision ever!

Jennifer_B, Oct 2025
We booked a 6 hour private tour and could not have been happier! George ( our driver) was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, friendly and very informative. The Mercedes van was fantastic! He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things Santorini has to offer - from popular tourist attractions to hidden gems. He gave us tips and suggestions as we explored Santorini. We appreciated how helpful he was and we really enjoyed getting to know him! We could have easily spent several more hours with him. It was definitely the highlight of our 12 day adventure around Italy and Greece. Seriously-we rave about that trip and George every chance we get! Don’t hesitate to book this excursion- the entire process was smooth and communication was wonderful!

Exceptional day tour.

Gregory_V, Oct 2025
Our guide was Stelios. We really enjoyed his company. He was quiet, and I do not mean that in a bad way. It was nice to have a guide that listened instead of talking all the time. He was very knowledgable about the island and its history and people. He was very attentive to our needs and our requests. He showed us everything we wanted to see and more. If you want an enjoyable day with an exceptional guide. Ask for Stelios.

Beautiful Views but could use better communication

Stacee_H, Sep 2025
The tour was good, and we enjoyed some truly amazing views. We were able to see the entire island, which made the experience very encompassing. The transportation was clean and comfortable. However, we would have preferred the guide to be more engaging and share more insights about what we were seeing. We also had an uncomfortable experience with a crowd at a well-known site, and it would have been helpful if she had navigated and explained the situation more effectively.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello Thank you for your review to us. We respect your opinion about your experience. Now about the crowds that probably find it in OIA we can’t do nothing because that place it is the most popular and depends the day that will be very busy. Santorini on the high season it is busy and crowded everywhere We always trying to do our best to avoid it but it is difficult. Best wishes

AudreyLenhausen, Sep 2025
We are a group of 9 friends, were looking to experience the island and Joanna delivered! Went to Oia before all the crowds flooded in, had a delicious lunch in a local traditional town, and patronized all the workshops in Megalochori.

Best private tour EVER

Buffy_W, Sep 2025
Everyone should have George as their private guide! He knew every inch of the island and how to easily navigate us to everything we wanted to see. We enjoyed our stop for beverages. Easily one of the best tours of our two and a half week trip. Highly recommend this informative, relaxing, and satisfying tour. Thank you George!

Incredible custom, private tour with a Santorini local guide

Allyson_P, Aug 2025
We did a 6 hour private tour in Santorini, where we were provided our stops to choose from. Our guide, Joanna, was incredible and shared a ton of local knowledge with us, as well as helping to point out the more traditional local villages. She was happy to suggest photo spots and take pictures for us, and we so enjoyed spending the day with her and our driver, Angelo. It was great to have a custom tour we could choose the spots on, where we enjoyed the Wine Museum and wine tasting, as well as the "Pompeii of Santorini" archeological site, as well as several local villages, castles, monasteries. We got such an incredible overview of the island and couldn't recommend this tour or Joanna enough.

George was very helpful

Jason_A, Aug 2025
Wonderful experience. Our driver was George and he was very professional and very knowledgeable. I had an idea of how to spend the day but he made it even better. He took extra care to make sure we were treated with respect at the Resturant we stopped at. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family. The van was very nice and clean and the AC worked well. Santorini is beyond beautiful and you won’t be disappointed with this custom tour. I would highly recommend requesting George! He knows all the extra beautiful places to see!

Santorini June 11, 2025

Susan_D, Jun 2025
We had a great tour in Santorini. We met our tour guide Johana (sorry if I have name wrong) at the top of the cable cars right on schedule. The tour was awesome - we were taken to the towns of Oia and Fira. Johana walked with us pointing out landmarks and historic sights. Absolutely gorgeous views. We also saw the black sand beach where we enjoyed a great lunch. Having a limited amount of time - a private tour was well worth it

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your excellent review to us and we truly appreciate it. We always try to do our best to all our clients for coming for a few hours on our Island and we want the best for them....

Flexible, Informative, and Stress-Free!

Feon_T, Jun 2025
We had a fantastic experience with Ioanna! She was incredibly helpful and shared so much valuable information about Santorini. Even though our cruise arrived late, she was extremely patient and understanding. What we loved most was the flexibility—we got to choose what we wanted to do and how we wanted to spend our time, without being rushed or stuck to a fixed schedule. Highly recommended for anyone who prefers a more personalized and relaxed tour instead of following a big group!

Our tour guide Paulette was great. Answered all our questions, took us off the normal tourists spots, as well as the best photo spots. She was always aware of time so we didn't miss our ship.

Great overview of Santorini

ngoetze14, May 2025
This is a great overview of Santorini! We had an amazing guide, George, who really maximized the only day we had to spend on the island! He customized the tour to our interests & we saw all (& more) that we were hoping to see! We will forever cherish the memory of the winery he took us to, which had the most beautiful view with delicious wine & food. On top of all that, he took some great pictures of my husband and I, & also got us treats at a bakery that were incredible & we never would have picked out for ourselves. Thank you, George, for a beautiful day in Santorini!

Okay

Neil_B, Dec 2024
We were really late waiting for our tender boats. The tour guide waited over and hour for us. He was very patient. However, he didn’t give us very much info and we had to keep asking questions

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for your review

Too much rapid-fire historical info

Judith_R, Nov 2024
Flexibility was fine, but sometimes our guide seemed to push too hard to override our choice, which we had made very clear way, way in advance. Black sand beach great, but waves can be too risky even for strong swimmers.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hello and thank you for your review Your tour was custom and you can do the program as you want it. Your tour guide was one of the best that we have and he provided all the information for the island to our customers for the time that you are here. We always try to give you all the informations but you have the option to do it as you want it. Also as I can see on your review the flexibility was fine but on the few hours that you have we try to give you and to saw you as possible we can . About the black beach that you when it is one of the best that we have and it is very safe for everyone. It was very windy on that day and that’s why we had waves. Thank you for choosing us and I am sorry if something didn’t work well for you on this tour.

Santorini the easy way.

Thomas_K, Oct 2024
This private tour with a very knowledgeable driver was more than we could have anticipated. We experienced a wonderful day finding out what this beautiful resort island offered to visitors now and also how it has changed over the last 15 years to become the most popular seasonal vacation destination in Greece. The driver shared many interesting stories while traveling the entire island from the Monastery, the highest point , to the beaches. He even shared his favorite lunch deli which we enjoyed very much. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly see the beauty of Santorini without having to do a lot of walking. I explained my physical limitations to the driver when he picked us up and so he modified this wonderful tour to accommodate our needs. The enjoyment of the day and the experience we came away with was well worth the expense.
