Great tour - THANOS was our guide. He was great. Very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We were able to see all the great areas of Santorini and THANOS knew all the short cuts and best spots for pictures.

Great tour experience with a wonderful guide! - Had a wonderful experience on this tour! We were only in Santorini for a few hours during our cruise port call and hopeful for a tour of the islands highlights and most beautiful spots. This tour didn’t disappoint! Our guide Nicholas was fantastic! He was friendly, shared a lot of great historical information about the island and took us to a handful of beautiful tourist highlights and local spots. Communication with him and the tour company was easy via the app and WhatsApp and the air conditioned van transportation for my party of 7 (during a very hot July day) was great!We were able to fit in a delicious lunch and swim at the beach and see Oia, the lighthouse, a cave home, and much of the island on our drive around. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour with Nicholas!

A great day in Santorini! - We had a great day with our guide Alex. He met us at the top of the cable car as promised. He drove us to Oia where we were able to shop and walk around taking pictures at the great views. He drove us around the island where we saw a cave house, the black sand beach and got great views from the highest point on the island. We had lunch at a great restaurant on the beach where we were able to select a fish for lunch from the fresh catch that morning. He brought us back in plenty of time to catch the cable car back to the ship.

Request Thanos as your tour guide! - Thanos, a proud native of Santorini, met us at the Port of Athinios, toured us (family of 7 with a 6, 5, and 1 year old) to Oui, Cave Homes, Akrotiri (squeezed in at the last minute), beaches, Fira, highest point on island and more as he provided past and current details of each area answering all of our questions as we are history buffs. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, had the waiter from the beach restaurant greet us at the van and finally the hotel staff walk us from the van to hotel helping with luggage! Fantastic island with a n expert tour guide! Thank you Thanos!

Amazing tour to see the whole island! Highly recommend! - Panagiota was a wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide! I took my daughter on this tour a few years ago, so I had to bring my husband on the same one for his first trip to Santorini. Panagiota took us to all of the popular spots as well as some hidden gems she knew about from being a local. As we drove she told us a lot about the history. We had a wonderful lunch at a cool beach bar called 41, and we had the best fried tomatoes we have ever had. (We loved it there so much that we returned the next day). Panagiota also took our photos anywhere we wanted. We ended the day at the top of hill at a beautiful monastery with a an amazing view. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if it is your first time to Santorini.

Fantastic afternoon in Santorini - We had a fantastic day with Tasos. He took us to many places we would not have seen on our own as well as made a great lunch choice for us. We felt like we saw all of Santorini in one day. This is the 2nd time I have used Santorini Road Trips. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful highlights tour of Santorini - My family and I (4 adults and 2 children, 9 &11 yo) had a wonderful tour of Santorini with George. George was friendly, informative, took us to all the great spots, knowledgeable about the island and was a wonderful photographer! We were able to see the highlights of Santorini and because of George’s expertise, we were able to avoid the crowds as much as possible. This is a wonderful private tour to take that gives you a taste of Santorini. The adults in my group have vacationed and stayed on Santorini before and we all agreed this tour is a great way to see the island when you only have one day, due to being on a cruise. Thank you George for a wonderful day visiting your beautiful island! The kids have decided they want to come back again and stay for a couple days next time 🇬🇷💙

Great Tour of Santorini - We loved this tour! We got to see 85% of the island and the most iconic locations on the island. We also learned a lot about Greek heritage and culture. One of our favorite parts of the tour was a visit to the village of Megalochori, a beautiful and quaint village which was the home town of our tour guide, Thanos. He was a great guide - very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour.
