Amazing day spent in Santorini - Theodore, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable. He spent the day sharing with us his passion for the city. The day was full of interesting facts mixed with a good bit of fun. We toured the island and ended our day at a local winery. When we visit Santorini again, we will definitely book with Kallisti and request Theodore.

Best way to see Santorini - Our tour guide, Theodore, was amazing! He took us to the best spots in Santorini and we beat all of the crowds. He even took us to a family owned restaurant with the best Greek food for lunch. He made our trip so memorable and showed us the most beautiful spots on the island. Definitely a highlight of our trip and I’m so glad we took this tour!

Excellent tour of Santorini - Theodore was amazing. We booked a last minute tour of Santorini and he showed-up early and suggested a couple great spots that we didn’t know of. He also called and made us reservations at a winery and got us free subbed at the black beach. Our family had a great time! Theo also provided clean towels pat the beach and cold waters and phone chargers. He also takes great pictures.
