Harry is a fabulous tour guide and customized a great day for us. He is very knowledgeable on many subjects. He provided a good balance of walking around, beverage and restroom stops, and drives to beautiful areas.
Response from Host, May 2026
Greetings from Santorini. Thank you so much for your kind words. It was really a pleasant day with you guys. I truly enjoyed our tour and i did everything out of my heart. Hope to see you next time.
Michael_M, May 2026
Our guide, Harry was very knowledgeable about Santorini, geology, art, history, culture. He took us all around the island and stopping to provide us with history about the villages and sites we were visiting. He took us to incredible locations with breath taking views and took a lot of pictures of us. We would never have found many of these places on our own. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and he made our day perfect.
Response from Host, May 2026

Harry is a very experienced guide. He's very friendly, super knowledgeable and even takes great photos! His English is proficient and easy to understand.

Harry was excellent — super cool and professional. He took us to spots that only locals really know about, with the same beautiful blue dome vibe as the famous locations, but without any tourists.
It made the whole experience feel much more authentic and relaxed, and we were able to take amazing photos without the crowds. He knows the area incredibly well and made everything seamless.
It was truly an amazing experience — I highly recommend this tour!
Debra_I, Oct 2025
It is a great way to see the whole island of Santorini away from the crowds in Oia and Fira. Our driver, Harry was exceptional. He took us to places where professional photographers were doing their shoots. Good info regarding the history of the island.

Another great experience in Greece. Harry was a super guide with lots and lots of info. Bring your walking shoes - he takes you to places off the tourist path. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon in Santorini.

We had a great tour with Loanides Kostas. I highly recommend this company. Very professional, accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable and communicative. Mr. Kostas also took incredible pictures of me and my son. He was so helpful showing us around any part of the island we wanted and recommended an incredible restaurant. Don’t miss this tour!!

Ask for Elena & Stavros. Elena met us promptly as scheduled when we exited the cable cars and Stavros picked us up in a nice Mercedes van. Elena was knowledgeable about the island history and showed us everything we wanted to see.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Elena and Stavros made your Santorini experience smooth and memorable. Elena’s passion for the island’s history and Stavros’s comfortable driving really do make a great team.

Terrific tour for the 3 of us! Our driver would drop us off with our tour guide Anastasia, we would walk and take photos and then he would pick us back up in another location, it was smoothly coordinated. Anastasia was passionate and historically knowledgeable with Santorini history. The Tour was so accommodating with our schedule and we were able to see many parts of the island. Highly recommend it!

Harry made sure we had the time of our life getting us back to port on time, seeing many Blue Dome churches, Black Beach, stopped for a light bow to eat... the absolute best!!!

WOW! Amazing! Showed us the lay of the land. Perfect for our first day - now we know all the villages and spots and the timing of the island. So thankful for Harry. He answered all our questions and more. The pictures are an added bonus.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for such an energetic and kind review! We’re so glad the tour gave you the perfect introduction to Santorini’s villages, hidden spots, and rhythm.
It’s great to hear that all your questions were answered and that the photos were a welcome bonus—because what’s a trip without some beautiful memories captured right?
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you back on the island soon for even more adventures!
Rosie_G, May 2025
Harry was an amazing tour guide! He had a lot of knowledge about the island as well as many other Greek stories. The private tour exceeded our expectations. We were picked up from our hotel and Harry offered to drop us off in Oia to explore more at the end of the tour. We got to see the whole island and even stop at a delicious bakery for lunch and coffee. Harry took amazing pictures for us at every stop without us even asking. I felt like we got a tour and photo shoot in one package! Make sure to wear a cute outfit because these photos are framers! This tour with Harry is a must do if you are in Santorini! 10/10 would recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you very much for your kind words and detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that your private tour exceeded expectations and provided a comprehensive experience of Santorini—from exploring the island’s highlights to enjoying local stops like the bakery.
We’re glad the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off in Oia added to the seamless experience. Capturing beautiful photos throughout the tour is something we take pride in, and we’re pleased they became cherished keepsakes.
Your 10/10 recommendation means a great deal to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Santorini.
Michelle_T, Nov 2024
This tour was everything we hoped it would be. We wanted to see all the famous sites while learning something too. Harry delivered!!!! You can tell he loves what he does. We were skeptical as we typically don’t like organized tours, but we are so pleased We went this route for our one day in Santorini.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you so much for your comment.
It was a pleasure and honor to meet you.

We had a wonderful tour guide who gave us lots of information besides showing us all the beautiful sites on your island. We enjoyed the entire day!
Kellieann_W, Oct 2024
Harry was a great guide and knew everything and helped us to take the best photos at the best locations. Was very knowledgeable.
Ibrahim_A, Oct 2024
Our private island tour with Stratos was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, Stratos made sure we had an unforgettable experience. He is not only knowledgeable about the history and culture of Santorini, but he also knows all the best hidden spots for breathtaking views and perfect photos. We visited the iconic blue domes in Oia and some stunning beaches, and Stratos' expertise truly enhanced each location.
What really set this tour apart was Stratos’ friendly and professional approach. He was patient, took incredible photos for us, and shared interesting stories about the island that made the tour much more meaningful. His passion for the island is contagious, and he was able to personalize the tour to fit our interests.
If you're looking for an intimate and immersive way to experience Santorini, I can't recommend Stratos and this tour enough. Worth every penny and a highlight of our trip!
Krystal_F, Oct 2024
Mr. Kostas was incredible!! I can’t express how thankful I am to him for giving us an amazing tour of the island. He personalized our private tour based on what we hadn’t seen & what we wanted to do. He took us to a nice beach front restaurant & he also knows how to take excellent pictures!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you so much for your kind and warm comment. As i always say, you came as a stranger and you left as a friend. I really appreciate your comment. I m wishing all the best to you and your lovely wife and family. With kind regards from Santorini, Kostas
valarie_S, Oct 2024
Harry was great! We really felt like we got to see all of what was important to see in Santorini. He took pics of us all along the way. We like a guided tour bc of all of the great information given throughout. We would never have that same knowledge on our own. Churches, typical homes, scenic views, small villages, beaches, monuments, and even a bakery stop (delish) round out this tour. A bit of everything with great history along the way.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that the tour offered a well-rounded and informative experience of Santorini’s highlights—from charming villages and scenic views to historic sites and tasty local stops.
Capturing special moments along the way is something we truly enjoy, and it’s wonderful to know you appreciated the photos and rich storytelling.
We hope to welcome you back for another memorable journey soon!

We had an unexpected beautiful time with Harry. He was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about Santorini but a lot of history that makes the island what it is today. No questions were unanswered.
We enjoyed every moment with him, in fact the day was coming to end & we were way over time & he still offered to share drinks & a meal with us.
Harry was a perfect example of a true Greek gentleman, he shared his amazing stories & so very respectful to my husband, daughter & myself. We can only admire the hard working ethic, food & wine that the Greek culture has, & it has made me appreciate them even more.
We returned to Sophia Luxury suites, in Imerovigli, feeling completely satisfied to have seen the majority of the island.
You will be fortunate to have the gorgeous Harry as your guide.

A great way see Santorini. Our tour guide Harry was amazing. Got a watsapp message a few days before tour and was able to start our tour a little earlier, and I am glad we did. He took us to some great spots and took alot of amazing pictures. We also stopped at a great bakery and got some wonderful treats.
A must do if visit Santorini

Exploring Santorini and its beautiful sights is best done with a private tour. Since we were not with a big bus tour group, Kostas, our guide with his Benz car, we were able to see places where big buses could not go. He was able to show us spectacular locations with Instagramable views and took pictures that are worth posting. I highly recommend Kosta who’s knowledgeable of the places we visited not only its history but also finding the perfect spot for that wonderful sight to behold.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you so much for the warm comment. It was our pleasuer meeting you and having the chance to take you around Santorini and giving us a chance to show you the real Santorini.
Nadine_S, Aug 2024
Demi, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable, energetic and fun She knew exactly how to make the most of the time we had in Santorini We saw the entire island in our 4 hours because she knew the short cuts and best vantage points for us to get some amazing photos and we left with a good understanding of the history and culture of the island
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for your kind gesture.
Courtney_G, Aug 2024
Amazing tour! We gpt a message on whatsapp the day before and knew exactly where to meet. It was easy. We got to all the locations, especially Oia, early and beat the crowds. We had a private tour and toured the island in a clean and cool car. Our tour guide Kostas was FANTASTIC. He was patient, knowledgeable and took great pics. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. (Research the process of getting up the mountain to the town before your trip)
Sophia_K, Aug 2024
Harry was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of Santorini was commendable. We loved the private tour experience. Thank you Harry 🥰
samantha_r, Jun 2024
Harry showed us all of Santorini in the four hours! He knew all the spots to go where you wouldn’t find them yourself! He knew all the tips and tricks on where to take photos and help us do this. He wasn’t just a driver, He was also a tour guide and a photographer. He made us laugh and felt comfortable with his driving. He has a lot of knowledge of Santorini and a highly recommend to do this if you’re visiting Santorini!! If you’re visiting for a couple of days or coming off a cruise ship, I highly recommend booking this as you’ll see the whole island on this tour! Thank you so much, Harry . We appreciate it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
