Santorini Adventure with Vaggelis - Vaggelis, our tour guide, picked us up at our Vrbo and the adventure began! He provided us with historical information about the island and insights on restaurants and must try dishes. We made several stops and were provided plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the island. Sunset at Oia was, as expected, very crowded. Being an expert, he guided us through the narrow walkways to a perfect spot to get those spectacular shots. A day we shall never forget and are thankful to him for his expertise and great sense of humor. A must if you travel to Santorini!

Get Tasos for your tour guide! - Tasos Ntegiannis (his company is called ‘The Tourist’) is THE guy to take you around the island of Santorini. I have taken tours for the past 40 years and Tasos is one of the best.
First, he is on time with a fastidiously clean and well air conditioned van. In the van he had plenty of cold water and juices.
Second, his knowledge of the island as well as overall Greek history was extremely deep. He has lived on the island for years and has done his own independent research.
Third, and very importantly, Tasos has perfected the timing of when and where to go to avoid the crowds. His ability to get you to the front of the line quickly is unparalleled. He knows how and where to take the best pictures. The best photos of our trip was taken by Tasos.
Fourth, the man knows how to drive! Tasos has excellent driving skills and gets you around the island safely and quickly. Tasos gets you close to the sites with minimal walking.
It was an excellent experience for my wife and I and I would encourage anyone who wants a stress-free day visiting the sites of Santorini to seek out Tasos to take them around.

Magnificent - We had the most wonderful experience with our driver/guide tour. He gave us a magnificent and stunning view of Santorini. He was so much informative. Pick up from hotel which is a plus! The cherry on top was the amazing pictures he took us!
This was so far one of the best tour we had book in Viator.
Absolutely recommend The Tourist tour!

Day with Panagiotis - Excellent journey around the island with Panagiotis.
Arrived ontime/early and looked after the full family (x2 children 7 and 9) for the day.
Excellent info/advice and history and all the photos you could ask for. Visited all the main sites and adequate time provided at all the stops.
Even came back to return our water bottle we mistakenly left in the car once found.
Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the island.

Christos was the perfect guide for us 💙✨💙 - Seeing the island for the first time and wanting to get in many sights, this sunset tour with Christos gave us everything we hoped for- and at a great pace. We loved how he knew all the best spots to see that were away from the crowds and he even took amazing pictures for us too!

Fantastic tour with Tasos! - Our hotel, San Antonio in Santorini had arranged for this tour. We had no idea how fantastic this tour would be with Tasos. He was incredibly informative, interesting and willing to tailor the experience to your needs. He had drinks for us and a nice air conditioned comfortable van. I would not hesitate to book a tour with Tasos!

This tour is an absolute must! - When you come to a foreign country as a tourist, you think it doesn't really matter which tour you book - you get the same thing everywhere. This is a big mistake. We had tours and experiences that were "okay" and then we had our tour with Anastasios, which we will remember forever. He made our vacation perfect and the tour with him is one of our favorite days! We saw so much, experienced so much and laughed so much - it was perfect from start to finish. I don't know how it could get any better! We were lucky enough to enjoy Anastasios on a private tour and so we had plenty of time to take beautiful pictures everywhere. I wouldn't have wanted any other guide and I'm sure he is the best in his field. If you are thinking of booking a memorable experience, then you can't go past Anastasios. We are happy to have made his acquaintance and are grateful for these precious memories.

Highly recommend this fantastic tour - We booked a full-day private tour as a cruise shore excursion and it was the highlight of our entire vacation. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, informative and so pleasant. He also took the most gorgeous pictures of us, something I appreciated greatly when we got back home. Makes me want to return to Santorini to take this tour again!!!

Great experience on a half-day tour led by a super polite, knowledgeable, and articulate guide. An excellent value IMO - I understand now why The Tourist of Santorini has 100% 5-star reviews. Tasos was a GREAT guide. He tailored our half-day tour to my husband’s and my needs and interests, and was very articulate (perfect English!) and extremely knowledgeable about the history, archeology, geology, art, economics, and popular culture of Santorini, specifically, and Greece, generally. Tasos also documented the experience (no added fee) with beautiful photos of my husband and me (taken on our iPhones) that were as good as any I’ve seen online. We finished our day at a restaurant Tasos took us to that we liked so much that we returned for dinner the following night and brought a friend. In all, it was a wonderful experience that I can recommend without reservation. We felt safe at all times while having an incredibly good time!
