Excellent 6 hour tour of Santorini!
My friend and I did the 6 hour tour with a ferry pick up and hotel drop off. Manolis and Chryssi brought ua to the iconic photo spots and gave us a great tour of the island. Manolis suggested a family taverna at Kamari beach for lunch and we liked it so much we went back the following day. We had an issue with our hotel check in and Chryssi and Manolis were so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this family owned company. They were excellent! I will use them again if I ever return to Santorini.

What a great experience!
We had an amazing time on this tour. It was just my me and my wife, and Chryssi and Manolis made it an unforgettable experience. They tailored the experience to meet our needs. Chryssi acted as our personal photographer as we visited all of the sites, and she captured some amazing photos for us. The van was large and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour, and when we return, we'll be using them again!

Full Service Transportation in Santorini
I originally scheduled an airport transfer through Tripadvisor with MD Group Transfers and Tours for our extended family of 7. I discovered that they also arranged tours so I reached out directly on their website after receiving my confirmation. To our delight, we received an immediate response from Chryssi, who went on to arrange a 3 hour tour of the island, a wine tasting at a local vineyard, multiple transfers to restaurants and a return transfer to our ferry. We were in the best hands, brought to the best locations for photos, Chryssi even booked restaurant reservations for us!!! We had our own personal travel advisor in Santorini and we felt spoiled and well taken care of.
Do not hesitate to book with Chryssi and the team at MD Group Transfers and Tours.
(We also were gifted some beer wine which we all enjoyed on our last night.)

Great experience. Definitely worth it. We were able to see all of the Island’s main spots. Manolis was super informative and really seemed like he knew everything about Santorini. We got so many beautiful pictures, history lessons, and views. It was 10/10 experience.
