Best food, wonderful people and great visit to Greece - If you are looking for a guide with expertise on every wonderful thing Santorini has to offer then this is the tour for you. Manos gave a great amount of time with me and my husband providing historical details and taking us to places that can’t be missed during a visit to Santorini. His assistance extended beyond our tour date and assisted us with travel arrangements around the island (while he was on holiday and away from the island). He really wants his guests to enjoy the beauty of Santorini in the most cost effective way! One of our best trips ever and would highly recommend choosing this tour.

Manos was sent to us from the heavans - Manos was magnificent and definitely sent to us from the heavens :) Our day in Santorini didn’t start of so well. It was one of the busiest port days with 5 large cruise ships and the port authorities restricting tenders to minimise the cues for the cable car. After waiting nearly 3 hours in line for the cable car, we were 3 hours late for our booked tour with Manos. He was such a gentleman, waited patiently for us and communicated regularly. We honestly thought we would get an hr with him as we were so late. To our utter surprise he went above and beyond, had ice cold water waiting in his luxury van. Told us all about the history of Santorini, took us to all the amazing photo spots, mange to get us through the crazy crowds! Our day was topped of by a beautiful lunch with genuine Greek cuisine and a swim in the Mediterranean at the black beach. Manos not only waited 3 hrs for us at the cable car, he then took us on a full tour of magnificent Santorini and spent another 4hours with us when we had only paid for a 3 hr your. Manos, from the bottom of our hearts thank you! You saved our experience in Santorini. It is a magical, beautiful place and we are so glad we were able to experience this with you :)

Excellent taxi service - I had a fantastic experience with Aegean Choice Travel. The driver Tim Manos was punctual, courteous, and highly professional. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, making for a pleasant journey. What impressed me most was the driver's knowledge of the area, ensuring a smooth and efficient ride to my destination. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. I highly recommend Aegean Choice Travel to anyone in need of reliable and top-quality taxi service. I will definitely use this service again in the future.

Loved Santorini! - We were in Greece the end of July and our tour of Santorini with Manos remains one of our favorite memories. Manos was very professional, informative and we spent amazing day with him. We saw the "tourist spots", tried a fresh fig, saw vineyards, olive trees, tried Greek coffee, a cave house and fresh tomatoes! For lunch, we asked to go to a local restaurant, somewhere he would go with his family. Oh, my! The best meal we had the whole trip! Beautiful location on the black sand beach! If you are heading to Santorini - Manos is absolutely the best!

Perfect Day in Santorini - We had such a wonderful day exploring Santorini with our driver Manos! He tooks us to all the best spots to get the pictures we wanted. He told us all about the history of Santorini. He even let us change our plans, when we could see that the kids were done exploring and wanted some beach time. He took us to a local beach that was much less crowded and perfect for our family. It was a wonderful day, and I would highly recommend this private tour for a day in beautiful Santorini.
