Wonderful tour - We had a wonderful time with this tour. It was a private tour so it made it easier for us to change the itinerary a bit. Our guide was really nice and professional. Definitely recommend this tour.

Fantastic Tour - Highly Recommend! - Our guide, Thanasis, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. We were grateful that we were able to have him as our driver and guide on a Sunday. Even the rain didn’t damper our moods, with Thanasis creating a great atmosphere to start with! The tour was everything we wanted to see, with more! Thanasis made sure it was tailored to our interests while also giving us great facts about the island with passionate storytelling. Overall, it was an informative and fun experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing - One of the best tours I've done in the beautiful Santorini!!! Although it was the second time I visited the island, Giannis took us to dreamlike places that we were unaware of their existence and the knowledge of the history of the island and of the ancient history in general- of mythology gave us new perspectives on the way anyone visiting a place with such a rich history should do!!! I 100% recommend the tour with I GO HELLAS....Thank you Giannis for the wonderful experience!!!!

great service - if you have only a few hours to spend and want to use your time efficiently use their services. notis was our driver / guide and was waiting at airport even when our flight was early for 30 minutes. get there early and u go to IA right away before the crowds from the boats get there. in 6 hours we visited all the stops learned most history and snapped the pictures . i found it interesting but over rated . our guide was extremely helpful and efficient.

I would give 10 stars if I could - This was the most amazing trip ever. I messed up and they accommodated waiting 6 hours to start our trip. Our guide knew so many things about the island and we saw all parts of the island. The best part is that it was less than the cruise ship tours and we were a group of 4 rather than 40. We are on cruise ship tour now and we appreciate what we had yesterday even more. Great communication before trip too. When you book, keep in mind you have to be tendered from the ship and then a cable car, donkey ride or walk 700+ stairs up steep cliff.

Santorini - Our guide was fairly knowledgeable. He did not enter Akrotiri so must not have been licensed for that. He was very good at getting us to the perfect places in Oia.
