Our guide for the day was George. Couldn’t have asked for more, he was personable, knowledgeable, receptive, patient and very thorough. Going to Santorini, you have to ask for George!

We had a great tour of beautiful Santorini with Fotios! He was thoughtful, timely, funny and a great music lover! Great guide! Our only tip is to be sure to be on the first tender so that you can get in a full day- the cable car line is no joke!

Fotios gave us a wonderful tour around Santorini. He was warm, lively and considerate of our needs and interests. Along with many interesting anecdotes and information on Greek culture and natural history, he made an effort to find us a lovely traditional meal. He paid special attention to other travel needs and took great care of us. We highly recommend his tour company and his local guidance.

There are not words that can properly describe how enthusiastic George, our guide, is about his job! A good tour guide can make all of the difference, especially when you are trying to get in authentic experience in a destination like Santorini that can be very touristy in some areas.
George took us to all of the highlights on the island, as well as some off-the-beaten-path local spots. He is also an excellent photographer and amazing storyteller.
If we were eve back in Santorini, we would absolutely reach out to George for any tours of drives that we need. A trip to Greece wouldn't be complete without him!

This was the most incredible and well done tour ever!!! We are frequent travelers and have done many tours over the years and this by far was completely off the chart!! George has ruined us for all other tour guides. He took care of our every need. Great communication, luxury Mercedes, constant cold bottles of water, covered the entire island in a day. Culture, history, all the best places and service was top notch! Red beach, black beach, smallest church to the most famous, absolutely spectacular views at all the best places, amazing farm to table dinner with wine tasting and impeccable service. George took care of every single detail. This man loves his job and it shows in every aspect of this tour! He was so gracious- snacks at his favorite and most popular bakery, helped up pick out amazing local food choices, and constantly fluttering about making sure we were able to see and do everything imaginable. He started with making sure he knew what our desires and expectations were and tailored the tour to make sure we did it. He delivered in an unimaginable way! Blew it out of the park!! He even made sure we got our Santorini sunset in. You will not get more value and high quality service than picking this tour— make sure you ask for George. If your on a cruise ship and only have one day to see all the beauty that Santorini has to offer— this is the trip for you. If you want 5 star service- this is the trip for you. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Well spent money and worth it. Did I mention he will be your personal photographer?? We have so many amazing photos- too many to share. Tip him well- this guy works his tail off to take care of you and he deserves every penny!

Sophia was amazing! I’d ask for her by name. Sophia gave us her ideas and we discussed them to be sure it would work for both myself and my three teenage daughters. She added so much color to our tour. Wish we could have been with her for two days!

We had an incredible day exploring Santorini with Maria! She met us right at the exit to the cable car when we arrived from our cruise ship tender. The view points she guided us to were beautiful, and also took us to spots that were not overly crowded which we never would have found on our own! There is a bit of walking to get to some view points so keep that in mind! The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was right on the beach, and food was delicious! Highly recommend this tour for anyone spending a day in Santorini!

We were short if time because of the unexpected influx of tourists that came down from 3 big cruise shops. Our guide, Dimitris, still managed to bring us to iconic places of Santorini. He made our Santorini visit memorable and enjoyable despite the shortened time. I give him 5 stars 🌟

This tour has been the highlight of my vacation. Our guide, Theodore, was well versed on the history and culture of Santorini. After spending time traveling through the villages and seeing the sites, Theodore took us to a beautiful restaurant on the water where we dined on fresh fish, local wine and other local culinary delights. Then Theodore took us the black sand beach where we we watched the sunset. Was well worth the expense for such beautiful memories. Thank you for fabulous time!

Our tour guide Maria did a wonderful job of taking us to the points of interest on Santorini! We had lunch at a very good restaurant by a black sand beach. If you are in town ask for Maria!
