An Excellent and Authentic Santorini Adventure - Wow! What an amazing experience! Our guides, Billy and Nick, were amazing! Very professional and knowledgable. It was a fun day filled with stops at places we would have never known about. Great way to see the island of Santorini. Fantastic picture opportunities. We were two families with six teenagers from the US! Highly recommend this tour. The transportation was top notch with air conditioning. What an unforgettable adventure!

Best Tour Ever Santorini (Billy/Billis) - Billy was by far the best tour guide we’ve had. I have had many tours in Europe over the years, and he definitely exceeded our expectations. He was kind, knowledgeable, organized, funny, and spoke English very well. I came with my fiance coming from the U.S., and we were a little nervous regarding how to navigate Santorini, but Billy made sure we had the absolute best day! We saw beautiful Oia, churches, beaches, cliff side winery with a view of the caldera, highest point in Santorini, and the list goes on. All while still making stops for us for restroom breaks and making sure we made it back to cruise ship perfectly on time to see sunset. He was recommended to us by a mutual friend I have from home, and I will continue to recommend him to others moving forward!!

Nice overview of island - Billy was great at driving and walking us throughout the sites of Santorini (which we learned was actually the island of Thira thanks to him). He even helped arrange our next day’s adventure by coordinating transportation to a nice beach and arranged for the restaurant to be expecting us and take care of us while we spent the afternoon with them. He was a great host and helped make it enjoyable to broadly see and experience the highlights of the island. I’d recommend have him take you to a local place for a meal rather than sticking to a convenient option in the tourist areas.

Best and safest way to see beautiful Santorini - Start to finish great experience. We requested a 5 hr tour starting early at 7am in order to escape the crowds and heat. Our driver was Vasilis (Billie) who picked us up near our hotel. Very friendly, professional guide who knew everything about the island and its history. He took us all over the island, everywhere we wanted to go. Such a relaxed and informative way to see the island. Great value for money, clean & top range car. Nothing was rushed. Vasilis is a credit to the company. Don’t hesitate to book (we were recommended this company via our hotel reception staff)

Customized Private Vehicle Tour of Santorini - Jim was our driver and guide. He took us around Santorini in a luxury Merc. All the time we had fantastic conversations in our private vehicle. Jim took us to all those tourist spots which were practically impossible to be done in any bus site-seeing. Even such a personalized experience is impossible if you go in a group site-seeing. Jim clicked our photos wherever we wanted. He was the best. We recommend to have this customized 5 hour trip. A must visit on your trip to Santorini. I also thank Nick for all the logistic support for any queries prior to us meeting the driver on the ground. We did not see any hesitation and Nick and Jim were always available for any kind of support needed. I am going to recommend Nick and his team to all my friends and family whenever they visit Santorini. I rate this trip 5/5.

Perfect private tour of Santorini with Billy - Today we were very lucky to do a private individual tour of Santorini with our guide Billy – and it was just unforgettable!
Billy took us to the most beautiful places on the island and matched the times so perfectly that we could experience the highlights almost without crowds. This allowed us to enjoy the special atmosphere of Santorini in peace.
He was not only a wonderful and warm guide, but also an absolutely talented photographer! Thanks to him, we now have fantastic souvenir photos of our day.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide – Billy made this day very special for us. Thank you very much for this unique experience!

Santorinis best tour guide - We booked this tour through Dimitri at Sunshine Hotel for us and our friends. Our driver was john in a beautiful clean Volvo. Our tour took us to the monastery at the highest point in the island, then onto other beautiful places, including red beach, white beach, the lighthouse, megalachori, Firostefani and finally to Oia to see the blue domes. John took us to some superb locations for photo opportunities. John has a fantastic knowledge of the island, and we can highly recommend him and the company he works for. John's english is excellent. Thank you so much.

Not what we were hoping for - Honestly wanted to love it; but our guide spent more time talking about himself than the island. We learned very little about the island and their culture and what made them special, but boy do I know all I need to know about him, and then some. While we didn’t follow the itinerary; which was fine, it seemed like we were on a hit list of his favorite places, and he was sharing stories about what we could afford on the island. He would stop to roll his window down to tell other drivers they were in the wrong spot, or complain about their driving. It was to the point where my family decided to end the tour early to get out of the car with him. All of the other reviews seemed positive, maybe it just wasn’t our day, but for wanting to experience the culture of Santorini on a private tour a lot was left to desire.
