A great way to see it all! - Being able to see so much of Santorini at our own pace was amazing. Nicholas, our guide, was knowledgeable and extremely nice. He ensured we saw much more than most other tours. It was a great experience!

Great experience - We would highly recommend this tour. Tasos, our guide was very informative and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Tasos ensured that we were able to see the sights before they became too crowded. We were picked up at 8am and dropped back to our hotel by 11am and that gave us enough time to enjoy the sights. We would recommend this tour as you get a much more personalised experience and you best the crowds. You will notice lots of other tours which are much busier and arrive later in the day. We bypassed all of them and focused on what we wanted to see. Thank you Tasos, you helped us have a great experience.

Beautiful Santorini - Tasos showed us the beautiful blue domed rooftops, explained the culture on the island, got us to wonderful locations of breathtaking views for great photos, and got us as close as possible to the cable car. He was so kind and patient especially with my mom who had walking issues. Highly recommend!!!

Michael, our driver, exceeded expectations - Michael was a fantastic driver and tour guide. He coordinated in advance our link up time. Was exceptionally early and even volunteered to start our tour sooner. He gave us options on the best places to visit. We ended up going to Oia and a vineyard. To my surprise, he took exceptional pictures with my camera so that i did not need selfies the entire time. We stopped at several picture taking spots along our drive. His Mercedes van was spacious, clean, and he had water for us with maps as well. When I return to Santorini, I’ll use Michael again. He exceeded our expectations.
