The best Santorini private tour - The afternoon trip began at 3.00pm with a pickup right on time outside our hotel… a beautiful sleek black Mercedes was there with our driver MR KOSTAS who in fact turned out to be a man of amazing knowledge on the life and history of beautiful Santorini. We began our tour in the north of the island at OIA (pronounced Eia) where we took a wander around beautiful alleyways where he pointed out interesting sights… the 3 blue domes, a real special Santorini landmark and he was telling us the history all along the way. It was HOT 35degrees so be prepared! After about one and a half hours we drove towards the south and as we had not eaten since breakfast we stopped at a beautiful traverna … the Good Heart family run place where all the food is straight from land to plate … excellent ! After feeling refreshed we went on our way to see the light house at the furthest southerly part of the Island then on way to see the RED BEACH the WHITE BEACH followed by the BLACK BEACH OF PERISSA where we had a little break and chat with Kostas who was just great at answering our questions and full of interesting information! PHEW !!! Back towards Fira showing us the way the vineyards grow and wineries you could visit if that’s your thing. Arrived back in Fira just as the sun was setting after such a fabulous experience to get to the PK COCKTAIL BAR to end a great tour. Thank you so much MR KOSTAS YOU WERE BRILLIANT ….from James and Lorraine

10/10 Santorini tour - We had a great day with Nikkos exploring Santorini. There were 5 of us ranging from. 16-50 and we wanted to just have someone show us around and not worry about a rental car. The van was comfortable and air conditioned and he gave us waters when needed. Our highlight was the restaurant he took us to at the end that was so beautiful and not something we would have found on our own. I highly recommend. Nicki, Sam, Antonios, Kat, & Zoe K

Off the beaten path - We had a fantastic day with Kiara’s, our guide. He shared a lot of information and history of the island as well as taking us to and around areas less crowded with tourists. We enjoyed the Oia sunset in a less crowded space. We weren’t interested in the sunset necessarily, but glad we listen to Kostas! We loved this tour and recommend it. His narration and personality were a perfect fit for us!

Perfect! - Highly recommended Nikos. His company took amazing care of my family in Santorini. We used Nikos for airport transfer, 4 hour private tour and to book our sunset catamaran tour. Everything was perfect! Do not hesitate to book with Nikos.

Private SantoriniTour - This tour was absolutely perfect for us! Mr. Kostas was exceptionally knowledgeable and tailored the day to meet our individual desires. My husband spent 2 hours drinking in the archeological dig at Akrotiri! We were treated to breathtaking vistas accompanied by engaging commentary from Mr. Kostas. We highly recommend this tour.

A fun windy day with Nikos - Nikos was very knowledgeable about Santorini and brought us to all the beautiful spots in Santorini. We saw all of Santorini in 8 hours, including Akrotiri, red sand beach and black sand beach. His car is very comfortable and he is a good driver. I would highly recommend Santo Luxury Escape!

Best private tour of the whole island! - Awesome 8 hour private day tour with Nikos!! We knew we had a short time frame and wanted to make the most of it - got to see the Red and Black beach, Mt Prophet Elias, Akrotiri Lighthouse, Megalochouri, Pyrgos, Perissa, Fira, Oia, Wine Museum with wine tasting, and more! It was way more than a taxi service as Nikos is a true native Santorinian and truly knows the island, including the people on it! He took us to several spots where the natives eat and the flavors were so much better than the touristy spots! We enjoyed our time and learned a lot about the culture. Fantastic personalized, fun day!! Highly recommend!!
