An unforgettable experience - Great moments in Santorini. The whole island in a nutshell in one day. Start from the hotel on time. Safe travel in an air-conditioned car in a pleasant atmosphere, lots of interesting facts about the places visited and the history of the island. We recommend trips with Aris. 😁

Cyclades Shine amazing experience - Choosing cyclades shine for transportation and sightseeing in Santorini was the right choice for the specific type.
And this for many reasons. 1) the service was incredible in all aspects, 2) because the transfers with cyclades shine were always pleasant and we had all our comforts, 3) because the people are professional and know their business.
I would really like it to exist on the other islands as well.

Amazing with Aris - The tour was AMAZING with Aris. He messaged me after I setup the tour to ask what we wanted to see in Santorini. He took us to all the places we mentioned along with his recommendations, which were top notch. He knew a lot of Santorini history and would stop or slow down at certain places to give us the history. He was interested in us and our home country and asked a lot of questions. The tour was very personable. Aris comes highly recommended! Wish we were here longer to go on another tour of additional parts of the island.
