- Profitis Ilias - The tour begins with the visit of the highest spot of the island (567 meters) located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain’s name, Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), is coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia. The Monastery was built in 1712 and it always had a very important role for the life of Santorini during the centuries especially as an active intellectual and patriotic influence.

Santorini is my favorite stop on this cruise - Sakis was the absolute best tour guide ever. Even with the crowds from 5 cruise ships coming in to port he made sure we did not miss anything. Asked to make sure we saw the beautiful sunset and he made it so special. He was awesome at coming to find us to keep us on task to make sure we missed nothing. I keep posting each day my favorite to least favorite spot on this cruise and Santorini is still our #1 out of 12 day cruise.

Excellent half day tour - Sakis was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our half day tour. He picked us up in a clean, new Mercedes and planned the trip to avoid too much walking in the heat. He took us to all of the spots for photos and views as well as a monastery. He explained a lot about the island and gave us recommendations for our return to the islands. Highly recommend Sakis and his company.

Great guide & wonderful experience - We had a great time in Santorini with our guide Sakis. He was very knowledgeable and took us to some unexpected places that were truly amazing. Our favorite was the quiet town of Megalachori. We were unable to get off the ship in time to make our 2pm start and Sakis waited and even extended the tour so we could still se all of the island. All in all it was an amazing experience.

Best way to go if you only have a short amount of time - So glad we booked this private half day trip. Our guide for the day Kiriakos was very professional and was able to take us to some great spots that the big coaches weren’t able to get to. With only only 1 day on Santorini this was a great way to do it.

Brilliant tour of Santorini. - Bill was our driver and he picked us up from our hotel in a very nice and clean Range Rover. He then took us all around the island sharing his in depth knowledge of the history of the island and lots of facts. I learned a lot about Santorini from Bill. He took us to all the key locations … Red Beach. Monastery, Fira, Oia and a few more in between. He knew all the very photo locations and took plenty of my partner and I. He gave us plenty of time in the bigger areas and definitely maximised our time by pointing us in the right direction. Traffic in Santorini is challenging ! But bill dropped us off in sensible places as close to the centre as he could get and then picked us back up when we rang him. A brilliant tour, very relaxing and a chance to see all of the best sights in Santorini in one go.

A fabulous trip - We can't thank Bill enough for a fantastic trip from start to finish. Bill was very knowledgeable on all the places we visited and the history of the island. He stopped at places where we could take stunning photos and took pictures of us too. The car was perfect with cold drinks provided and Bill's driving was spot on, even when the traffic was at its busiest. We would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Santorini. All in all a 5* trip. Thanks Bill 👍

Best tour of Santorini - What a great tour. Giannis our guide was brilliant. He knew where to go to avoid the crowds so we were at the tourist places a step ahead of the crowds without all those daunting long queues and hectic traffic jams! Giannis, thank you for this and we will certainly recommend you to all our friends who plan to visit Santorini!

Great tour of a beautiful island - The port shut down tender operations so we were a couple of hours late to our meeting time. Despite that, our guide, Kiriakos, waited for us and still gave us the full time. We were so appreciative of his consideration (especially after we experienced the opposite on Mykonos). He quickly realized my wife loves to take photos and took us to some spectacular view spots that we never would have found on our own in Oia. After that he took us to several great spots. Kiriakos was very friendly, considerate and informative. We ended our tour with lunch at a first class, beachfront restaurant on the southern side of the island, right on the black sand beaches. It was the perfect ending to a great tour.

Not the best - Doing a catamaran sunset cruise in Santorini is a must-do, but this one was not the best. The staff was detached and barely engaged with everyone on the boat. They also very loosely followed the itinerary and did not point out the memorable spots or where we stopped at certain points. If you are looking to just sit on a boat for a few hours this would be good, otherwise a different tour would probably be better.
