Aldo, our tour guide was great! He took us all over the Island and took many,many pics of us without us asking. He was kind and well mannered. At the end of our tour he took us to black beach were we had a wonderful meal at 41.

Great day with Michael-Angelo, who is a fabulous guide! We toured all over this beautiful island, covering Greek history and culture -- and also laughing at different stories along the way. The lunch by the beach was delicious (restaurant "41" -- I had the yellow tail appetizer + Santorini salad). I strongly recommend this tour!

My wife and I just had the most amazing private tour of Santorini as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations. Our driver and tour guide was Konstantinos who was professional, knowledgeable, personable and had a great sense of humour. He navigated narrow, winding, congested roads with ease. He had a thorough knowledge of the island, its history, its geological formation. We started with a walking tour through the town of Oia, then meandered through the island stopping at points of interest and great viewing sites, ending with a memorable lunch at a great restaurant on the Black Beach. If you are looking for one of the best tours of Santorini, this is the company to go with and request Konstantinos as your guide. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

We were a group of 7 & our tour guide Marios and fabulous! He was knowledgeable about the history and area of Santorini. He was friendly & professional.

The Best tour we’ve ever taken. Our tour guide made sure to take us to everything we wanted to see, and more. He was so helpful and made our day amazing. Our stop at the black beach was so cool and enjoyed a little bit of swimming.

Our tour guide, Leftaris, made our day amazing. He will make you feel like family from the moment you meet him and will go out of his way to make sure you have the best experience. We got to see many fabulous and gorgeous spots in Santorini and ate at the best restaurant right on a really beautiful beach recommended by Leftaris. His air conditioned van was very comfortable and he made our day so enjoyable and perfect!

Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He was waiting for us upon arriving in Santorini. Saw the popular spots, got all the pictures. He took us to a great winery with spectacular views. Very courteous, knowledgeable of the island. Overall great experience
Martin_B, May 2024
An excellent and really nice informative guide. Very flexible and good recommendations .wine tasting was the highlight.
Kim_B, Oct 2023
It was a good tour with our guide. The price for the tour was quite high. Three couples cost $650. $400 would still have been high.
We were taken to most of the unique and historic sites. The guide was occasionally hard to understand.
Dannelle_M, Sep 2023
My husband and I loved this tour! Katarina was fabulous- very sweet, knowledgeable and knew all the right places to take memorable pictures. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Asia_R, Aug 2023
Great tour. Very responsive to my pre-tour questions. Katarina was very kind and insured that my family had an amazing tour.
Kent_L, Jul 2023
Great day spent with Nikki. Microphone wasn't working in the van but she made sure all of us could still hear her. Nikki did a great job of asking what we wanted to do, but also knowing what we needed to see. Her knowledge of the island was incredible. Great day was had by this group of 13!!
Eileencaylor, Jul 2023
Our guide was awesome and I'd highly recommend this tour. The temps were pretty high the day we visited and our guide was accommodating to this. He allowed us to stop at a cafe to recharge and get a drink which was appreciated.
margarita_r, Jul 2023
Theo was very professional with his information and was able to be at the right place and at the right time. We had 6 cruise ships that docked on the same day, with his assistance we didn’t feel the crowd because of his expertise of looking for the hidden gems.
monica_m, Jul 2023
My husband and I truly enjoyed our tour of Santorini. Our tour guide Katerina was amazing! She is very knowledgeable of the town. She took us to every beautiful place Santorini has to offer. Katerina is patient, kind and funny. She was not only a tour guide, but she went the extra mile and was our personal photographer! We have so many pictures of ourselves with beautiful scenery because of her. She was the best tour guide and I highly recommend a tour of Santorini with her.
Jim_B, Jul 2023
We were told about the interesting history and he brought us to the best places for awsome scenery and photo ops. He also allowed us free time for us to troll around some areas. He was very friendly and made the trip about us!
Derek_Z, Jun 2023
Adonis, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful during our private tour. He provided tips and suggestions based on our initial ideas and our day was amazing. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend and Adonis as well!
AkashKhurana, Jun 2023
Amazing experience. Akis (tour guide) and Niko (driver) were great and ensured our family of 10 was well taken care of. We saw all the key spots, took million pictures and ended the tour with dinner at an local restaurant. Also made it time.
Amie_C, May 2023
Theo, our tour guide was fabulous. He had to wait for us due to crowds at the cable car, and he was waiting with a smile! He was knowledgeable, professional, and fun to spend the day with. We had a great day.
Gary_V, May 2023
Our guide Adonis was on time. We were late because of tendering. He was very friendly, spoke English well and had a thorough knowledge of the island. He was an excellent driver amidst that crazy traffic. We drove all over the island stopping at all the points of interest and took a break in Oia for some fruity drinks. He took photos of us and with us. We saw both North and South sides of Santorini.
Be aware there is quite a lot of walking...first to get to the vehicle then through narrow streets in town to get to the fort.
We arrived back at drop off at correct time but because of long cable car lines, would have missed the last tender. Many worried about the ship leaving us. But all those people were going the same place so the ship delayed to wait for us.
I would recommend this tour to any group of 1-6 who want to see as much as possible in the one day stop.
Adonis was an excellent, knowledgable guide.

Santorini is as beautiful as the pictures. The guide made sure that I saw the things that were important to me.
karen_s, Oct 2022
We were on a cruise but decided to take a private tour of Santorini. So glad we did. Feel like we got to see so much more as Giannis took us all over the island! He was fabulous telling us history and about the local culture. We fit in one side of the island to the next, to the highest point, to a wine cave for wine tasting, to the black beach. We couldn't do the red beach because it had rained (1st day in 7 months) so it would be too slick, to a fabulous Greek lunch where the staff was great. 8 of us highly recommend private tour and Giannis!!!

Value is for sure top notch. If you going with cruise, try a later departure and late coming back to ship to avoid the crowd.
Communication is great from tour operator.
If there's any suggestion, would ask the driver to be more like local angry driver, do not be so polite. 2 way street with 1 lane, being polite will end up no where.
kerryd, Jun 2022
We had an amazing experience with Atonis! One of the best guides we have ever had on a vacation. He took us to all the best spots in Santorini and booked ahead so we received the VIP treatment. Do not think twice, book your tour and ask for Atonis!
Gabriella_M, Jun 2022
Realizing the diversity on the island, the overwhelming scope and beauty and the serenity of the monastery.
A wonderful guide who unfortunately dropped us at the end without clarifying the path to the cable car but that did not diminish Adonis’s enjoyable tour.
Diane_R, May 2022
Adonis was a fantastic guide and we enjoyed every moment with him. He had so much knowledge about the island. When we went to rocky places, he helped us to make sure we stayed safe. I highly recommend Adonis and this wonderful tour!!!!
Andrew_B, May 2022
Aris picked us up at exactly the arranged time at our Airbnb. The van was very clean and comfortable. He did a fantastic job of showing us around the whole island. We had some stops with amazing views. We had a great tour of Oia and he amazingly timed it perfectly so that we were leaving as cruise ship tours were arriving. We saw red and black beaches, the monastery at the highest point on the island and he chose a wonderful spot on the beach for lunch. I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to start your time in Santorini. You’ll get a great feel for the island and he helped us choose some activities for our other days
