Great Way to See Rest of Santorini

Our tour guide Jannis is an amazing and informative tour guide. He explained the local history and provided very interesting cultural facts. We did a four hour tour. He took us to the different villages and walked along the way with us to explain the significance of each place we visited. We went to Pygros, Megalochori, and Profitis Ilias, Red Sand beach, and the ancient ruins. Really great tour around Santorini and great tour guide to show us the different parts of this gorgeous island!

Stressful then enjoyable.

Our original private tour guide never picked us up. I called the number and gave reservation number and she said they had no such reservation. She did send another small group tour to get us.

Customizable and Informative Private Tour

Our guide, Spiros, was an absolute gem of a person. Very knowledgeable and personable, and incredibly accommodating and flexible. Showed us a great time and even gave us recommendations for places to go after the tour was over (including local restaurants, beaches, etc). Would highly recommend.
