Wonderful tour of Santorini - Aris is a wonderful guide. He is very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating for his guests to have the best experience possible. He ran a great schedule to hit all the highlights in southern Santorini which has the most memorable sites. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour that can be customised - It was a great tour where Aris customised the tour based on our requirements that he had asked us ahead of time. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining the details of the history of Santorini landmarks. We managed to visit Elias Monastery, Pyrgos, Megalochori, Akrotiri Lighthouse, Red Beach and Perivolos Black Beach in 4 hours (we had already visited Oia separately). Would definitely recommend to others.

Grab this tour! - I found this tour last minute (I missed my flight to my cruiseship) and it exceeded my expectations. As a female solo traveler I felt safe at all times, I also liked that I could customize this tour, and that even though I didn't know spots other than the Oia blue domes, Aris (tour guide) still surprised me with spots even more beautiful and historically important to the island. The red beach and megalochori are a must!

Superb Tour and Guide - This is the tour you want if you prefer a customizable tour with a friendly and informative guide. Aris is a guide, driver, historian and bon vivant all wrapped into one affable package. We thoroughly enjoyed our day driving around Santorini (much larger than we though, BTW) and seeing the sights. He even drove one of our group to the airport. Not much more you could ask for in a tour to be honest.

Very accommodating guide - Great tour with Aris. Santorini was very crowded and stressful to navigate our group of 10. Our only regret is that we did not have more time since we arrived on a cruise. Aris was wonderful and was able to take us to several locations and was very open to customizing our tour. Thank you again.

Excellent - This was a great tour. I learned so much about the island and was able to see everything. It was a private tour. The tour guy, Ari’s, picked us up and dropped us off at the resort. He was very knowledgeable and very nice. He made the tour pleasurable. Make sure to request for him.

A must- do trip in Santorini - It is just a must- do easy and enjoyable trip to get to know Santorini in a few hours. My guide Aris was so professional and well organized in reaching out to me to plan my itinerary beforehand and followed up all the way through. He is also so knowledgeable and friendly in sharing information about not just Santorini but also Greece generally which is so helpful for a first time tourist to get to know more about Greece . Aris also gave me so much helpful tips to explore more about the island and I look forward to coming back in the near future 😀

Good tour and great tour guide - We were 2 couples on this tour. Aris was was our tour guide and he was very good. I would recommend him as he made it quite interesting. Worth doing this tour to see most of the island. The only constructive feedback I have is that the tour stops /destinations should be clearer as to where you will actually go / stop. Where it says ‘optional,’ they should be a little clearer in the tour description and state that if these stops are to be included the tour needs to be extended and the charge for the tour will be increased. I think that’s what the guide indicated when I asked about missed stops. It was still a very good tour!
