Best Choice - We loved this tour. I guide was fabulous. He was great at avoiding the crowds for us. It was a very busy area. The sites were fabulous in Oia and Thira. Our guide was also skilled at taking our pictures and opting for the pano view. We had fabulous pics, fabulous food and our guide made sure that we packed our private tour.

Wonderful time in Santorini - We had a wonderful time on the tour. We not only visited the typical places, such as Oia, but also some out-of-the way places as well. Our guide also drove us to two very Greek restaurants where we were the only tourists, the first to have lunch and the second one to sample some ouzo (and have a second lunch!)

Amazing private tour of Santorini - We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Santorini. Our guide met us right outside the cable car station and as we walked to our vehicle we discussed the plan for the day. It was very easy to customize the agenda for our interests. We explored Fira, Oia, and Pyrgos; visited the Prophet Elias Monastery; stopped for gyros; and had the chance to dip our toes in the ocean at the black sand beach. Our guide was very accommodating any time we wanted to take photos or dip into a shop. She even made some great shopping recommendations for Pyrgos. During our driving time across the island, we learned lots of interesting history and contemporary facts, and were able to ask plenty of questions. We never felt rushed, and left feeling like we'd had a great introduction to Santorini. The value was amazing, especially comparing our private tour to the cost of the group tours of similar length offered through our cruise line. Would come back and do it all over again!

If you have 1 day in Santorini- Book Tassos - Everything went smoothly with the tour- our guide listed to what we wanted to do and took us to the places we wanted to see. He gave us great information and support, drove us well ( not scary maniacal driving!) and was there for us when we wanted him. In 1 day we covered all the parts of Santorini we wanted to see and photograph. Perfect day out. Thanks

Great tour, just make sure you get a van - Our tour guide was great and took us to a secret restaurant outside of Santorini. He was very knowledegable and accomodating. The tour description said it would include an airconditioned luxury van The guide picked us up in a very nice mercedes sedan that required three adults to squeeze into the back seat which was not acceptable. Difficult to get in and out of the car.

Good Tour, Bad Communication - 3.5 Stars. The guide was great and we ended up having a good time. My problem was with the organization. I emailed a few days in advance to ask if they needed to know what we wanted to do. They just responded to arrange a pickup time. I responded with more detail "Are we able to go to a winery? Also interested in scenic beaches, villages and historic sites." and the response was just "Tour is private and you can customize." The day of the tour the guide tells me she received no itinerary and wasn't sure if we could get a reservation for a winery. Spent 20 minutes of the tour discussing the itinerary and luckily we were able to get a reservation. I would have much preferred to have that all taken care of beforehand. I find it really weird that they didn't reach out to me at all before so I had to figure out everything on my own. Not sure who I was supposed to be communicating with.
