Santorini twice, will visit again

For a 5 seniors + 2 adults group, our guide Tasos took good care of us with a customize itinerary. Most of us visit Santorini back in 2022. However, we added 3 new spots, Red beach, light tower and submit on top of all the usual iconic photo spots. We are very happy with Tasos and company and will use him again.

Amazing Santorini Private Tour

Tasos was a great guide and very flexible to our families needs. The car seat they provided was brand new also. He was able to change itineraries to adjust to longer times in certain places we liked. And we were still able to hit all the sights he proposed. He was able to show us local spots for iconic sunset views as well.

A Busy and Beautiful Private Day Tour in Santorini Greece

Tasos was our guide for the 8 hours private day tour. With 5 seniors in our group of 7, Tasos customized our itinerary every steps of the way in a comfortable fashion. We covered all the iconic places, had lunch at the black sand beach, wine tasting etc. Tasos made sure we visits all the senic spots and took group pictures for us. We really liked the recap of all the visited spots towards the end at the highest summit so we understood we had visit many places for the day. We even covered 3 new spots for the 3 of us that were here in Santorini october 2022. The 4 newbies loved the pictures of the blue dooms and white houses.

Amazing tour of Santorini!!!

Had a wonderful 6 hour experience with Aris, he was knowledgeable and customized our tour to our liking. He took us to historic sites and authentic greek villages then took us to more popular tourist areas so we could get the perfect postcard pictures. The Island was absolutely beautiful and we feel like we got to see and do it all without ever feeling rushed. (Aris also drove very safely) would highly recommend this tour and lastly, it was reasonably priced.
