Santorini’s best tour guide - fun, funny, captivating, memorable. We loved Yiannis!! - This is our second trip to Santorini and our tour guide Yianni made our visit exceptional! He is kind polite, an excellent story teller, takes great interest in his guests and loves sharing his knowledge about the island and Greece in general. We strongly recommend this tour with Makedas travel and Yianni the tour guide for an amazing experience!!!

Excellent private tour to make the most of the best of Santorini on short stays - Excellent private tour for my family. They picked us up from the airport at 7am and in 7 hours we visited the best of Santorini, making the most of our short stay. The driver was a guide because he told us about history, customs, current affairs, very good conversation and excellent treatment. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful interesting Santorini - Elias monastery was a beautiful spot & Spyros took us personally to the church. Akrotini was so interesting. Spyros was a wonderful guide who took us to both beaches and places we had never been before. Highly recommended!
