Perched atop a dramatic cliff, it offers stunning vistas of the volcano.

  • Monastery of Profitis Ilias - Ascend to the monastery of Prophet Elijah for the most spectacular view from the island’s highest point. From here, enjoy panoramic views of the Aegean coast. The mountain, named after the monastery built in 1711, offers a serene setting where you can taste wine and local products made by the resident monks.

Best Way to See All of Santorini - I cannot give enough praise for this tour and our guide Mary. We were able to see almost the entire island, north to south, with walks through Oia and Fira, views of the windmills at the top of the mountains, visit with drinks at the black sand beaches, stop at the Akrotiri archeological site, and two wine tastings at a small family sized and modern middle sized vineyards. Perfect way to see the island and Mary was super knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating of all our requests!

Making the most of only one day in Paradise - What a wonderful day in beautiful Santorini! Though a couple of us had been to Santorini before, we were introduced to some amazing places we had never been before thanks to our amazing tour guide, George. He was so proud and knowledgeable about this beautiful island and took us to places only a local would know about. Thank you, George, for a perfect day in a perfect place.

Excellent Private Sightseeing Tour - Excellent tour and best way to see the beautiful Santorini in a day in a smaller (private) setting. We were 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and they came well prepared with car seats and extra water,. The views along the drive were breathtaking and had ample amount of time to stop for plenty pictures. Our guide (Mary) was super knowledgeable about the whole island and would highly recommend. They were also to make accommodations on their schedule when an emergency came up during the trip. Highly recommend.

A Great Tour of Santorini for our Large Group - We had a group of 75 people in 4 vehicles with guides. We did the same itinerary. Each guide was excellent. Some had secret places they took their groups which was well received. Another just took the group to a spot at each place and let people have free time. Everyone was very happy with the tour. The only problem we had was that the tour operator (who was excellent to deal with) wanted to increase the price by 30% after we had collected final payment and after we had confirmed the prices and all the details 3 months before the tour. The compromise was to keep the price the same but change from 5 vehicles with 15 people each and 5 guides to 4 larger groups with 4 guides. This worked out OK but should not have been necessary. We also changed from a cable car back to water taxi and this was a great recommendation as there were 6 ships tendered. Vehicles were excellent and so were the drivers.

Excellent tour - We had an excellent tour of main spots in Santorini. Mr Takis is a very skilled driver. He drove with ease on the narrowest street around the hills. We were on a spacious van. We were 11 people but it could fit even more people. Special mention to our guide Minas, he is extremely kind, took all of our pictures. He was very patient and highly knowlageable. He kept asking of we need anything. Thanks to them we had one of the most memorable day that we will cherish forever. That’s the kind of team you want for your Santorini tour. I hope this review will reach them and put a smile on their face. - the 11 people from Paris, France
