Our day exploring Santorini with Dimitris was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of his island. His knowledge of Santorini was incredible, and he brought each place we visited to life with fascinating stories and personal insights.
Dimitris went above and beyond to make our day special, making sure we saw the most beautiful sights while also taking us to places that felt authentic and memorable. He was attentive to our needs, patient, and such a pleasure to spend the day with. Like family! Dimitris truly made our Santorini experience unforgettable. We left with wonderful memories, beautiful photographs, and a much deeper appreciation for this incredible island. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini! 🇬🇷❤️
It was very informative . We got to see the whole island . Our tour guide got us to all the great sites despite the crowds. He was very accommodating.
Our tour with Dimitri was absolutely incredible. He was funny, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the area and local culture. He truly made the experience unforgettable. Exploring Oia and the surrounding areas without someone who understands the history, culture, and hidden gems just wouldn’t be the same.
Dimitri knew all the best photo locations, helped us avoid long lines and crowds, and even took amazing photos and panoramas for us throughout the tour. He got us into some of the most popular spots effortlessly and made everything feel easy and enjoyable.
We highly recommend this company — Dimitri turned our trip into a memory we’ll never forget.
I traveled solo and this private tour was the best thing I did. Dimitris is an excellent tour guide and super nice guy. I was picked up at the hotel in a comfortable airconditioned van. On the way he stopped at a spot were I wanted a pic. He even stopped at little shop he knows and got me great cup of coffee. There were long lines but we just zoomed straight ahead and he knew exactly where the best spots for pictures were. This is really the best and probably the only way to get those amazing pics of the cliffside, caldera and especially of the blue domes, without the crowds around you. It really was an amazing and unforgettable experience.
Our guide was totally amazing, knew where to go. Took us to some of the most amazing places and views. Recommended some great spots on the island. Highly advised! 💯💯
On a 1-10 an easy 15!
The tour guide Dematrius was knowledgeable, kind and most accommodating. We saw all the best spots and more. He made our vacation more than memorable.
What a fantastic experience! Our private tour guide, Dimitrios Chrysidis, was absolutely amazing. He took us to all the popular spots, took great photos and shared his knowledge about the country. He was extremely nice and fun and knew all the tricks in seeing the city! I highly recommend this tour and if you can, ask for him!!
Santorini was a beautiful place to see!! Wonderful pics! I think we were spoiled by previous guides because we felt we didn't get the amount of information we expected from the guide. He was very pleasant and accommodating but just didn't have the charisma we wanted on a private tour.
We had a great tour and ended up extending to go and see the black beach. Our guide was friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the island.
Manos was a 100/10. great experience, kind, patient, knowledgeable and spot on with his timings, locations and hosting abilities
We very much enjoyed our time with our tour guide, Manos, as he shared his knowledge regarding Santorini. Not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he took us to spots we wouldn’t have seen in our short visit. We highly recommend.😊
Dimitris was fantastic. He had lots of knowledge about each area, was lots of fun, and was happy to tailor the experience to suit us. We got to know some of the local secrets and he made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.
The tour was well paced and even included shopping time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Dimitris was knowledgeable and attentive throughout our entire tour. It was an amazing experience overall.
We had a wonderful time in Santorini. Our guide Dimitris was so kind and friendly, and showed us all of the best spots on the island. It took us a little while to get off of our cruise boat, and he waited patiently for us without a problem! He gave us local knowledge and was very happy to welcome us. What a beautiful country and we very highly recommend this tour.
A very enjoyable and interesting tour customised to our needs
Zina was a good laugh and knows her stuff
We had an amazing day with our tour director, Xena! She went out of her way to show us the hot spots for photos and was very informative about the historic sites along the way! Highly recommended this trip and Xena as your guide!
The best part was allowing our guide to take us to hidden parts of the island. She showed us beautiful ancient churches, thousand year old trails, and charming neighborhoods.
We had a wonderful experience! Our guide, Zina was wonderful! We would surely recommend this to others!
Really can’t recommend this tour enough. Everything was made perfect by Xena who went out of her way to ensure that we had the best experience. She was driver, tour guide and photographer, was very knowledgable about the history of Santorini and knew all the right spots for amazing views away from the crowds. Nothing was too much trouble, because of her attention to detail we have some lovely photos which have captured the beauty of Santorini perfectly.
Xena even managed to get us a table for drinks at the sought after sunset spot in Oia which was amazing.
If you want a personalised tour which is incredible value for money and with an amazing guide then this is definitely the tour to book.
Thank you so much for helping us to create magical memories of your beautiful island 💙
Xena you are the best!
Driver and guide, Xena, was excellent. She was very respectful of our age and adjusted for our physical limitations. Rerouted to areas of island that required less walking due to extreme hot weather. Highly recommend Xena and the private and comfortable car tour.
Xena was an amazing tour guide she could have not done a better job or been more polite and helpful. The sights she took us too were amazing and was an unforgettable experience! Thank you!
