Amazing tour! Highly recommend!!

This tour was absolutely amazing! My 22 year old daughter and I took a day trip to Santorini from Athens. We only have a set amount of time and the 5 hour tour was perfect! Nikos was very knowledgeable and so friendly. He helped us get amazing photos and took us all over the island. The tour was flexible to our needs and we saw so much that we didn’t know we were going to seen. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny! I wish I had had euros to give a bigger tip.

Excellent time, exceptional tour!

This was an amazing tour of Santorini. The only way to see the hidden spots and gems of Santorini is a private tour like this. My grown daughter and I flew over from Athens for the day and did the 5 hour tour. It was incredible. Our tour guide was so friendly, very knowledgeable, took amazing photos of us at all the breath taking sights. I highly recommend this tour and would go again in a heart beat on another trip to Santorini.

The best total island tour!

What a wonderful day! From one end of the island to the other we saw everything and then some. Our guide Isidoros grew up in the island and knew every nook and cranny. He was knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. He took us to what he said was a local known secret, no tour buses or tourists called the heart of Santorini. One of the most memorable pictures we have from the trip. He made sure we saw everything that was promised and then some all the while making sure we did it at our place. Very delightful young man and truly an asset to the tour company. Would highly recommend this tour.

A private tour of a lifetime.

If I could give a 100 star here I would. Our private tour guide George was amazing. So friendly. He made the tour our tour. What do we want to do. When we told him we want to just see as much of the island as we can. He took us to all the key spots. There were large crowds, but he was so knowledgable how to bypass the crowds we were walking down back alleys, etc. at the end we even went for a last-minute wine tour, he simply called the winery and they got us in and we got a private tour from the owner. I would highly recommend this private tour with this company. In addition weeks before the tour I communicated with the company. They were always quick to get back to me. Plus our tender was 20 minutes late. I had no stress communication from the company and was told to just relax and they will wait for us. George then extended the tour past the time because we were late. George was amazing!

Extremely recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Extremely recommended. Our guide, George, was very knowledgeable, helpful and timely. He took shortcuts for us to squeeze in as much as possible. We were able to access paths restricted restricted normally to the public as he knew the locals there well.
