“Amazing day in Santorini - We had the best day in beautiful Santorini thanks to Viator’s excellent customer service. Our driver had car trouble and Viator quickly rescheduled us with another driver. George arrived within 30 minutes in a beautiful Mercedes sedan. Due to our delay, he extended our tour and we saw the entire island. It was a fabulous day! George is so knowledgeable, kind, fun and entertaining. Thank you George for the wonderful memories. You are one of a kind! See you next time!!” - Reviewed on 2024-08-04

“Best Private Santorini Tour Ever - My husband and I had a private 6 hour tour on Santorini that was absolutely amazing and the highlight of our 12 days in Greece! George aka Mr. Patience, was our driver (the van was lux) and Mary, our tour guide were both outstanding. Mary covered from Oia to Agkistri—one end of Santorini to the other, filling us with historical facts, picture perfect photo spots, castles, and ending with a wine tasting at Art Space. While driving, Mary would get out the map and her ipad and show us more details of past volcanic activity and old photos of what some of the places used to look like. It was worth every penny!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-30
