Santorini Private Highlights Tour with Local Driver-Guide

Santorini was a great day! Our guide was very flexible. We toured the city, had a fast pass to the blue dome photo location, shopped, stopped at Santo wines, and had a great lunch near the black rock beach. It was a perfect day. Highly reccommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic day in Santorini with Theo. Visiting from a cruise ship means you only have a limited amount of time on the island, and Theo made sure we experienced as much of Santorini as possible without ever feeling rushed. From the moment we met him, Theo was friendly, knowledgeable, and completely focused on giving us a memorable day. He shared so much about Santorini’s history, culture, and everyday life, while also knowing exactly how to navigate the island and avoid the biggest crowds. One of the things we appreciated most was how well Theo knew the island. He took us to some terrific viewpoints and knew exactly where to go for incredible photos — even helping us work around the crowds so we could really enjoy the scenery. The winery visit high on the hill was another highlight, with spectacular views and a wonderful experience. Theo also gave us excellent recommendations throughout the day, including a beautiful lunch that was a perfect addition to our tour. By the end of the day, our only disappointment was that we didn't have more time in Santorini and more time with Theo! He made the experience personal, relaxed, informative, and fun. Great tour, outstanding guide, and a truly terrific day. If you are visiting Santorini on a cruise and want to make the most of your limited time, we highly recommend this tour — and especially Theo. We left Santorini wishing we could stay longer, and we definitely hope to return someday. Five stars and one of the highlights of our trip!

This has to be the top tour and tour guide I've ever experienced. Theodore was the absolute best. He picked us up very promptly from the airport and started the day off with a breakfast stop, and then we were able to hit up every single major point of interest in Santorini.. This was an all day eight hour tour and even though we were tired, having flown in that morning from Athens, he enthralled us with his storytelling and his facts and the history of the island. he took us to a local authentic Santorini restaurant that was some of the best food we've eaten in Greece. He probably has a calling as a photographer because he took so many pictures of us and they were amazing. He knew all the secret spots on the island and did not rush us ever. he spent extra time with us making sure we saw everything we needed to see, he was kind, attentive, entertaining, and we begged him to have lunch with us because he was such great company. There's absolutely nothing I would change about this tour and I'm so appreciative and grateful for Theodore. We got to see every part of the island within a day. I strongly and highly recommend this company and Theodore in particular for tours. We were a family of five with three teenagers and all of them had such a fantastic time.

Our tour guide Theodore was amazing and made the trip wonderful. He accommodated all the things we wanted to do and see. Even called ahead to wineries to set up appointments for us. Took us to a family restaurant away from the tourist area where we had a great meal.

We had a fantastic experience with Kallisti Tours during our private tour in Thira. The BMW X1 provided was comfortable, and the booster seat for our daughter was thoughtfully arranged in advance. Our guide, Theodorus, was punctual and impressively knowledgeable. His insights into the island’s culture added meaningful depth to the tour. He made efficient use of our time and showed genuine care during the more physically demanding moments. Thanks to Theo, we captured beautiful photos and created lasting memories. We typically keep our experiences private, but this one was too meaningful not to share. Highly recommended.

We met our driver, Theodore from Kallisti Private Tours shortly after arriving in the cable car to the top of Fira. Theodore, warm, friendly,and cordial, greeted us and we proceeded on a walking tour of Fira then off to his vehicle. We spent the day touring the whole island of Santorini from tip to tip. From Fira to Oia, to the Akrotiri Lighthouse. Theodore was very knowledgeable and informative. He took us to see the best sights and vistas as well as the best gyros on the island, according to locals. Theodore made quite the impression on our small group and is an excellent representative of the island of Santorini. When you use Kallisti Private Tours ask for Theodore and tell them Jeff recommended you.

Theodore was an amazing guide who tailored the trip exactly to our interests and gave us lots of interesting information along the way. It was the ideal way to see Santorini without having to worry about driving and we would highly recommend this company. Customer service was excellent and they responded immediately during the planning phase. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

We have seen a lot during our tour. The driver, guide knew how to point out the most beautiful places and gave a lot of explanations. He managed to avoid the crowds. He drove a very comfortable car. Overall a very positive experience.

Our driver Theodore was very nice and helpful! He explained to us about the history of the places we visited.

Our tour guide, Theodore (Theo), was the absolute best! He picked us up at our hotel and took us all over the island. We went to the highest point, multiple scenic viewpoints from different parts of the island. Per our request, we visited the Art Space winery (and yes-purchases were made!) then the Crazy Donkey Brewery. Theo knew everyone and was able to get us great seats, views, special attention, and I suspect may have been the reason for the celebratory shots given to us to celebrate my birthday when we stopped for dinner at Perivolos right on the black sand beach in Kamari. (Highly recommend their Greek salad!) HIGHLY recommend!
