Tour with kostas!
Kostas is a delightful guide, who brings the history of the island to life! Want to know why there are so many blue domes? He will give a colorful description of the background. His knowledge of Santorini is incomparable and his enthusiasm infectious. He tailored the tour to our requests.

Wonderful half day tour or Santorini
This was our second tour with Kostos Tours; ten years ago and this month. Each one was easy and enjoyable and well worth the price. This company knows what they are doing!

Santorini private tour experience
Wonderful private tour with my daughter and young grandsons. Kostas was very knowledgeable and engaging with both age groups. In 6 hours we were able to see most of the island. Kostas brought us to a great beach front restaurant. However, don't stop for lunch if you want to see it all. I highly recommend this private tour.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Judith! It was such a joy spending the day with you, your daughter, and your grandsons — what a wonderful family! I’m really glad everyone enjoyed the tour, and that we could make it special for all ages. Wishing you all many more adventures together.

Best Guide in Santorini
Kostas was a wealth of information; we could not keep up with all that we were learning. He has a great personality, and you can tell he really loves what he does, with his excitement making the tour all the better. He was also great with sharing restaurant recommendations, even for places on our next stops of our Greece vacation.

Best local guide
Kostas is an outstanding guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, fun, animated, and easy to talk with. He took us to many beautiful spots, and provided insights that only locals would know about. He is also an excellent photographer and took lots of family photos for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Book Kostas Now!
OMG! If you have the ability, book Kostas! We had the most amazing time. He was simply the best. My wife had some mobility issues from earlier in our trip. Kostas tailored our experience to things she could do. He is very flexible and listened to what we like and don’t like. Because of that, he was able to deliver an amazing experience! Too bad I can only give 5 stars!

Amazing personalized tour of Santorini!
Our tour with Alex could not have been any better! The communication throughout the booking process was clear. At the beginning of the tour, he asked additional questions to determine the areas of most interested. He planned our route very efficiently, and we were able to see all of the highlights that we had hoped to see. It was an amazing day in Santorini!

Kostas’ tour was a highlight of our entire trip
Kostas was a great tour guide - from the history to the stories to his engaging personality. We chose the winery tasting for the end of the tour - which was great. This tour was one of the highlights of our entire 10 day cruise.
