Michael is the best tour guide!!!!! - Michael was the absolute BEST tour guide! He took us to all of the main attractions on the island with the best views. He was super knowledgeable about his country and made the day so much more enjoyable. He even made us reservations to see sunset at a local winery at some of his favorite spots. Worth every penny and more!!!! We can’t wait to go back to Santorini now!!

Perfect 6 Hour Tour! - We absolutely loved our tour with Michael! He was very friendly, organized, told us ahead of time all the sites we would be seeing & allowed us to customize our tour. He knew all the special places to go for fantastic pictures without having to wait in a line. I would definitely recommend doing this tour in the morning (in July) before it gets too hot and too crowded. Michael is very knowledgeable on the geography and history of Santorini. I would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing guide and incredible experience - We had an amazing experience visiting Santorini in a private van with our guide Theodore. He went above and beyond all day and was one of the best guides we ever encoutered. He is also incredibly patient and an amazing driver, which is very important on the crowded and dangerous roads of Santorini. He is also a great photographer and knows all the best spots for pictures.

Exceptional private tour in Santornin! - WOW WOW WOW! Our tour guide Ted was above and beyond in his service and knowledge of Santorini.
Our very full day started with a perfect pick up at our hotel in Fira. For our first stop Ted took us to the three bells of Fira for some photos (Yes, he played photographer also!) and a overview of the history of Santorini while overlooking the caldera. We learned so much in that time and it really helped enhance our tour experience.
Throughout the day Ted took us to the preserved ruins in Akrotiri ( This is a MUST do!), the Santorini museum of prehistoric Thira, Art Space winery and of course Oia for the obligatory photo with the three domes.
In addition to Ted's unsurpassed knowledge of Santorini and it's history, he was funny, friendly and SO personable. We greatly enjoyed every moment we had with him and felt like we were leaving a friend at the end of the day.
I highly recommend Ted for your perfect full day tour in Santorini. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you again Ted and I hope our paths cross again!
