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 😐.
