Mike was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and courteous.
We greatly appreciate your 5-star rating.Our local guide Mike enjoyed showing you the highlights of Santorini. Thank you for choosing Santorini Road Trips. Best regards, The Santorini Road Trips team
Kostas did a wonderful job on our tour. He is a local and very passionate about Santorini and its history. The tour lasted about 5 hours and we had an opportunity to do a wine tasting, see the sunset from atop a cliff, explore a Venetian castle, and more. He was also nice enough to share tips for exploring the island during the rest our trip. I highly recommend both this company and Kostas in particular.
Thank you for your 5-star review and for your amazing feedback! Everyone at Santorini Road Trips, especially our local guide Kostas, is happy to know you had such a great day. We hope to see you again soon. Best regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.
As first time visitors to Santorini, this was the perfect way to spend the day and get to know the island from an insiders perspective. Mario, our guide and local resident, was knowledgeable, kind, over the top helpful, and made us feel like honored guests enjoying this beautiful island. We felt like he truly enjoyed showing us around, in addition to being an excellent picture take 😊 His narration and explanations throughout the trip were interesting and insightful. Our time spent at the private wine tasting was also a great enhancement to the tour, having a chance to try great wine and enjoy learning about the history of wine making in Santorini. The overall time of the tour was perfect, too – we still had time to wander a little on our own afterwards and enjoy a great Greek lunch. Definitely recommend this, especially if you can request Mario!
It's always amazing to read that we've been successful in our goal of providing our customers with the best possible experience.It fills us with pride to know that our service is valued by our community.Our local guide Marios and the whole team of Santorini Road Trips strive to be the best we can be every singe day.Thank you so much again.

We had a wonderful experience exploring Santorini with Dimitri. What made the day particularly special was that he is a local, and his knowledge and personal connection to the island allowed us to experience Santorini through his eyes rather than simply seeing it as tourists. Dimitri has an incredible knowledge of the local areas, history and culture, and he brought everything to life with his stories and enthusiasm. It was fascinating to hear about the places we visited from someone who genuinely knows and loves the island. He was friendly, engaging and clearly passionate about sharing his home with visitors. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Dimitri to anyone wanting to discover the real Santorini. The wine tasting was interesting too and the selection of four we tasted were all of a good quality. There was also a small tasting plate to pair with the food. I would thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone new to the island or wanting to explore new parts.
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review!We are truly proud to hear such kind words about our local guide Dimitris and your experience with Santorini Road Trips.Comments like yours give us the motivation to keep getting better every day for all those who visit Santorini and Greece. Warm regards, The Santorini Road Trips team
We had our tour with Mario a few hours after arriving in Santorini, and he helped us to quickly understand the magic and allure of this Mediterranean paradise, from our southern starting point of Perissa to the famous northern area of Oia. Mario was friendly and helpful throughout the tour. I’d highly recommend this tour for a great overview of Santorini, especially early into an extended stay. Turns out we liked the laid back vibe of Perissa more than the pace of Oia, but I can’t knock the beauty of any part of the island.
A huge thank you from all of us at Santorini Road Trips for your fantastic review!Marios is passionate about sharing the hidden gems and unique stories of Santorini, and it means a lot to know you had such a great time together. Your feedback inspires us to keep creating memorable experiences every day. Warm regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.
Dimitri was an excellent guide for our tour of Santorini. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area and each city or village. He allowed us to go at our own pace yet adhering to the itinerary. He was very personable and knew several of the local people. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors to Santorini.

Michael was an excellent guide and driver. He had an itinerary ready for us, but also asked what we wanted to see on the island. He was knowledgeable of the history of Santorini, as he has lived there his whole life. I strongly recommend navigating this busy island with a local guide!

Just finished a fantastic summary tour of Santorini with Kostas and Santorini tours. My family, six adults and an infant, spent four hours with Kostas and got an excellent overview and history of the island. Kostas was extremely knowledgeable, tremendously flexible, and a very good person to spend time with. We’d highly recommend using Kostas and his company.
