You must book this tour!!! - I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this tour was and what made it so wonderful was our marvelous tour guide Mary and our excellent driver George. We started at 9:00 am. and wrapped up at 3:00 p.m. ish. We only had 2 days in Santorini and Mary showed us all of the most perfect highlights coupled with the best spots! We saw the famous blue domes in oia, the historic archaeological site of a village destroyed by a volcano, the black and red beaches, stops for amazing pictures, small churches, the most breathtaking monestary and stops for gelato, shopping and lunch. Mary’s recommendations and the flexibility of the tour were top notch! Lunch on the beach at Afros with authentic Greek cuisine was terrific!! Highly recommend.

Picture Perfect Santorini - Picturesque Santorini can only be discovered with a tour guide willing to take you everywhere. We joined another family and explored the island with Michael, our tour guide. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and archaeology of the city. We witnessed culture and explored hidden gems only known to locals. The tour was very informative, catering to both casual visitors and those with a deeper interest in history. I recommend Michael to all age groups wanting to know Santorini.

Great time and Elias S was fantastic - Overall, this was a good tour. However, at the beginning we had trouble meeting our driver. After confirming a number of times via email with Nicholas (dispatcher), we were to meet our driver at the McDonalds and after searching for our driver he was at the cablecar. With a number of emails and a half an hour later, we got it together and met Elias S. our driver. Although it was an overcast day due to the Sahara dust, Elias S ensured that we had great opportunities to take pictures of the beautiful island of Santorini. Elias S is a professional photographer who made our 2 families shine. We explored Thira and had explored Oia with all the crowds. We then looked at Akrotiri Museum (luckily it was a free day) and went to black beach and red beach. He explained the vineyards and tourist sites of the area and had a great walk in Megalochori and the caves. Had some artistic pictures on top of some churches and then he dropped us off in Thira. Elias S really made our excursion of Santorini fun and memorable.

See all of Santorini with a private tour! - I was searching for tours vs using the cruise ship options (those were dismal and severely overpriced). Stumbled on this company. They were easy to contact and book. If I had any questions/concerns, they were responsive. They are very experienced in taking cruise passengers and making sure we make it back to the ship on time. The company sent instructions on how to get to the top and we ended up getting there with time to spare. Did a little window shopping, more water, etc. Michael was our drive/guide. He was very professional and had tons of knowledge. We asked questions, he had answers. This was a private tour with myself, husband, and two kids. Able to custom our tour based on our interests and of course energy level. Keep in mind, there is still a lot of walking. Santorini is full of hills and stairs. Michael literally took us around the entire island. He quickly guided us through some very packed/popular sites (all the IG photo ops). He was really trying to get us in and out of Oia as it becomes unbearable at sunset due to the crowds. We had a wonderful overview of the island and places we would like to visit again. It was worth it to be able to see everything vs just picking one part of the island to see. I highly recommend this tour company and would use them again for my future travels! Please ask for Michael-he was great!

Proper! - The friendly guide and correct and proper explanations. Very complete visit of the island. Santorini, the destination, very crowded and with this visit I think there is plenty to visit the area. The high price but seems to be the average in the area, where even a soft drink is very expensive. I recommend starting the tour as soon as possible because then queues form at the funicular to get down (at 13.15 there was already an important queue).
