A great way to see Santorini - We had a great tour seeing the sites of Santorini. Nic our guide (and driver and owner) was a local who had lived on the island for 36 years. He was knowledgeable and humorous . He gave numerous opportunities for a toilet break and offered to take pictures of our group in front the numerous must see vistas. The wine tasting at Santo winery at the end of the tour was a highlight. We purchased a great cheese and meat platter to have with the surprisingly good Santorini wines. I highly recommend this tour.

Tour with Eleanor - I highly recommend Eleanor!!! And this tour!!! What an awesome guide. She made sure we saw everything we wanted to see and she was a fountain of information. She told us we could ask her anything and we did!!! She was caring and thoughtful and made sure we were with her all the time. No easy feat in those crowds!!! Santorini was so beautiful!!

Excellent tour in Santorini with Stefan - Great excursion with Stefan. Very knowledgeable and his information was well received by us. He has a very close relationship with the island as if he lived there. We were very impressed with this tour. We highly recommend Stefan and this tour to everyone. We were late making the excursions and he came back to get us to make our day complete. He really extended himself for us.
Thanks,
Nadia and Doug J

Great Santorini Tour - We took the Greek islands cruise and Santorini was our the main reason. There were 4 cruise ship at the port and it delayed our de-boarding due to too many people at the pier. Our tour guide Elena waited for us about an hour. The cable car line was too long so we took the donkey to the top. I do not recommend walking up the stairs unless you are in good shape. Our tour guide, Elena, was very knowledgeable about the history. She was very jolly and my family enjoyed our company. We were able too see all sights even though we were hour late.

Most beautiful place on earth! Go on this tour! - Best. Day. Ever. Boris was a wonderful guide. Every stop was breath taking. Most beautiful place on earth. One thing I love is having our own photographer. Notis could move us through a crowd like nobody’s business. We definitely could not have seen Santorini on our own. Highly recommend!!!

Best Tour and Tour Guide, Notis - We are on business trip with LifeWave, expanding our global market expansion. To begin the day, I was nervous since we didn't realize the process to get off the ship and up the cable car takes so long. The tour operator answer my email and insured me that the tour guide will be waiting for us. Once we were off the cable car, an hour late, Notis was holding a sign with my name. He was so nice and welcoming. He explained to us where he will be taking us and he would do his best to visit all the sites. He took his time explaining each place with history. He was our photographer as well...he knew exactly the right place to stand. :) We had to be back on the ship for our dinner reservation at 9:30pm. He made sure that we did. We love him and would recommend this tour and Notis to everyone. Just make sure that you are first to get off the ship!!!!

Super personal service, nothing to complain about - Matthaois, our guide, was very punctual and also contacted us directly so we had no trouble finding him. In a modern and especially well air-conditioned car we went to different places where we took great photos. Matthaios told us a lot about Santorini. He has responded to our wishes and we had a cheap, delicious lunch on his recommendation☺️. You can’t do anything about the fact that Santorini is really overcrowded – carrying out a private tour instead of a coach with countless other people is in your own hands. So I can recommend this provider and this tour to any traveler.

Basic Overview of Santorini - A basic overview of the island. Not much depth, but a few quick highlights of the island from end to end. Driver was good. Guide was engaging, shared highlights of the island, and was focused on insuring we finished while giving us time to walk and take pictures.

Disappointed on Service - We booked a private tour for 4 people for 5 hours in Santorini. We were suppose too visit the winery and Red beach which part of package, but we did not cause time was running out.Most of the time our driver was on the phone and texting while driving. We also did not understand our driver most of the times while he was explaining.I was sitting at the back seats and constantly asking him to repeat cause could not hear and understand.
I was disappointed at the service and we did not see all areas which was part of package. The driver is a seasoned driver who has been working for 12 summers with the company which was shared with us. He should of been able to ensure we saw all areas which was part of the package on a timely manner and not ask us to make decisions cause of his lack of time management. Driver should of focus on us and less on the phone.
I would not recommend this excursion company 😐.
