Not all Tour Guides are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife and I have been on many tours and this is one of the best. What separated this from other tours was because of our tour guide, Thanos. We went with friends whose wife has a problem with walking and must use a walker. Not only did Thanos design this tour around her capabilities but he held her and her walker going up and down steps. He made sure we saw all the important places that Santorini has to offer. If you are going to Santorini, I would definitely recommend you use Thanos as your guide.

Hire Michael as your tour guide. You will fully enjoy rhe experience!!
Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He took us to the top spots we requested and even went out of his way to find a leather shop in Oia that I really wanted to visit. Michael also stopped at a local Greek bakery so our friend could get an authentic Greek coffee. Michael accurately projected our time at each stop and went out of his way to explain about Santorini's history. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND MICHAEL!! Thank you again Michael for an amazing 5 hour experience!!

Best Tour Guide Ever!
Giannis was the BEST guide we have ever had! He was prompt, he was funny, he was engaging , he was passionate about his homeland, he was a wealth of information. We spent 6 hrs with him & hated to leave him. Santorini is magical—wish we had more time there but had to catch the boat!

Best tour was with Mike
Mike’s five-hour personal tour around Santorini was a wonderful experience. He showed us the island’s most beautiful spots and shared helpful insights about its history and local life. The tour felt relaxed and personal, with plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos. Mike was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable way to explore Santorini.

So Much Love for Tgis Experience
An Unforgettable Day in Santorini with Thanos!
We had the most incredible six-hour private tour with Thanos, and I truly cannot recommend him highly enough. Our day included Black Sand Beach, Red Beach, a traditional cave home where we learned what life was like in Santorini long ago, and beautiful Fira and Oia. We also had an amazing lunch at 41 Restaurant at Black Beach, and Thanos made sure every detail of our day was absolutely perfect.
What made this tour so special, though, was Thanos himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable and conscientious, sharing the history of Greece and Santorini in a way that was interesting, personal, and meaningful. We especially loved hearing him talk about his Greek culture and passion for his history, his family, and the traditions that are so important to him.
I have been on many tours, but I honestly don’t remember ever having a guide who put so much care, pride, and genuine love into making sure we had a wonderful experience. We never felt rushed, and he truly wanted us to experience and understand Santorini rather than simply see the sights.
Thanos gave us a day we will always remember. I will absolutely recommend him to friends and family traveling to Santorini, and if we return, we would book with him again without hesitation. Thank you, Thanos, for making our day so special! ❤️

Incredible day in Santorini
We had an absolutely wonderful six-hour tour of Santorini with Thanos. He arrived early to pick us up, was incredibly attentive throughout the entire day, and was always genuinely concerned about our safety and comfort at every stop.
Thanos took us to all of the highlights — Fira, Oia, the black sand beaches, the red sand beaches, and the beautiful old villages where cave homes are still part of everyday life. But what made the experience truly special was how much pride he has in his Greek heritage. He shared the history, culture, traditions, and little intricacies of Santorini that we would have never discovered on our own.
This was our **third trip to Santorini**, and without a doubt, it was our most informative and educational experience yet. We didn’t just see Santorini — we learned about it and gained a much deeper appreciation for the island and its people.
Thanos was knowledgeable, personable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing his home with us.. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini, especially if you want to experience more than just the beautiful views. He truly made our day unforgettable.
