This was a nice relaxing way to see the island of Santorini. Demetris, our driver, was kind and compassionate. He was also skillful at navigating tight parking and winding roads. We loved our stops at Pyrgos village and Black Beach. Our lunch was excellent. My sister has difficulty walking, and Demetris made sure that she was okay at all times. Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience working with this company. We were able to customize it to what we wanted to see and do. We also used them (Holiday Mood) for multiple transfers and they were very accommodating and flexible with us when making changes. Their communication was excellent and they even provided restaurant suggestions, which were great. Highly recommend!

Mario was our guide/driver and he is awesome! He was very professional and friendly, extra patience with the seniors and we enjoyed our time in Santorini with him very much.

We had 1/2 day, comprehensive tour. Peter was very personable, knowledgeable and open to make the experience ours. He took us to all the Island’s greatest sights, knowing the times when to avoid high tourist volumes.
Highly recommend this tour.

Our tour of Santorini was so much fun and informative! Marios showed us the best time, explained to us the history of Santorini and drove us to all of the places we wanted to see - plus he suggested a few on his own. It was an amazing and fun filled day! We all highly recommend Viator when booking a tour and request Marios when in Santorini! There was also an issue with seeing a winery that was supposed to be part of our tour - I reached out to Vasiliki, and he handled everything so professionally. We could not be happier!

Excellent in every way and flexible when we were delayed by late tenders from our cruise ship and a last minute port switch-they were awesome and picked us up!

A very good experience with the private tour. We could tell our guide where we wanted to go. We went early and beat the tour bus lines.

This tour was a great experience. Marios is very knowledgeable, courteous, and personable. Not only does he know the entire island well, he knows how to get around the various tours so that you are not stuck in huge lines ruining your experience. Because this was a private tour he was also flexible about adding or subtracting sights. Highly recommend!

Fabulous private sightseeing tour of Santorini, lovely luxury car with driver/ guide Marios. He was knowledgeable, friendly and great photographer for my friends and I😂. We managed to see all the sights in comfort even providing cold waters. Would 100% recommend. Thanks for a lovely day.

Was the highlight of our 7 day cruise. Yiorgos was very thoughtful and helpful and we truly saw Santorini at its best. The transportation was very comfortable which helped overcome the chaos of dealing with the cable cars!
