Great family day!

We had a great day with Ellie as our guide. Our took longer than expected to get from the ship to our guide. As we were on a private tour they called to check on where we were. We lived seeing the more local side of the island and hearing how life is today, not just the history of the island. A stop at a bakery for some cafe and treats was the icing on the cake.

So much fun!!

Fabulous tour. The guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. We learned tons of fun facts. We learned all about the island how it was formed and end of the day at a private restaurant for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. The staff was fun and friendly and made our day.!

Hidden Paths Tour

The castle is something we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Do it! Book with Marco!!

HIGHLY recommend this your. Marco, the Emperor, was fabulous! He is educated and passionate but also so fun! Our group of 6 all thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him. We went to multiple sites in a comfy van. He shared lots of cool information about the area and kept us laughing!

A little bit of everything!

My adult daughter and I chose this excursion as we were visiting Santorini from a cruise ship and wanted to see as much of the beautiful island as we could in a short time. Marcus met us and asked us what we would like to see. As we had never been before he suggested various places that we could visit around the island and also the town of Oia. He was very interesting to talk to and we had a brilliant time. Thank you Marcus, Santorini is truly beautiful and you made our excursion unforgettable!

Great way to see more of the island than Oia

This was a great tour to see the non-touristy side of Santorini. Kathrin was a great guide, humorous and knowledgeable. We enjoyed walking through small towns and seeing the countryside, instead of just the flashy areas of Oia.

Great tour with beautiful corners of Santorini

Very nice tour with many small hidden corners that you would not find alone. Our guide Agathe was super nice and had a lot of information for us. She drove directly to the spots and showed us beautiful corners. Highly recommended.

Great tour with super charming guide

Simple, fast and extremely friendly response to our request by Santorini Experts. And what a lovely day with Kathrin. From super punctual hotel pickup to restaurant recommendations afterwards - everything was great! Kathrin was super flexible, responded to all our wishes spontaneously, has incredible detailed knowledge of the island (from history to news) and is simply an incredibly charming and humorous companion. We also took a lot of inside knowledge from a German expatriate in Greece and could have imagined sitting with a cappuccino Freddy even longer.

Operator response

Als aller erstes möchten wir uns bei Ihnen für diese netten Worte herzlich bedanken! Ja, das stimmt Kathrin ist eine unserer besten wenn nicht die Beste! Wir freuen uns sehr dass Sie eine nette Zeit mit Kathrin verbracht haben und hoffen, Sie in Zukunft wieder auf Santorini willkommen zu heissen!

A wonderful day with the best guide

We have already done a tour (Thirasia) with Kathrin of Santorini Experts last year and wanted to do this tour (Santorini Hidden Paths) again with her, because of the following reasons: pick-up in time, we did everything what is promised on the tour description, Kathrin is telling very interesting stories and knows everything we were asking, she takes care that everybody is well, it is really nice to talk with her and we had much fun. We saw the hearth of Santorini, we made a walk through Emporio with the nice narrow streets, visited the Castelli, we made a break to drink something, we saw the old windmills and had a great view to Perissa, we visited Vlichada Beach and had the possibility to swim, we made a stop at Faros / Akrotiri for tasting Santorini products and wine and to see a wine cellar. It was really an excellent tour and a wonderful day and it was great to meet you again, Kathrin!!!

Operator response

And what a pleasure it was to show you even more of my beautiful home. It's always a great honor to meet our guests again, it shows their appreciation and we thank you for that. I am happy we will stay in touch and hope, to see you again soon.
