Fantastic Santorini Tour - HOLY COW!!! Aris was our driver and what a blessing he was! He showed us all the hot touristy spots plus the local places! He shared so much knowledge about the island and gave us great history! We had 4 people with us and it was a JAGUAR! He provided cold water, bathrooms along the way, and a hospitable/kind personality to show us Santorini! We would 100% come back just to tour with him!

Excellent private driver!! - We had an excellent tour guide. We were in a beautiful jaguar SUV. He took us all around the island to all the hot stuff. We wound up at an organic winery which was also an art museum. We bought six bottles and had them shipped to the United States. The only thing we didn’t care for was the lunch at a restaurant in Fira. The tour was wonderful. We did find Santorini to be extremely expensive and the vendor's to be less than honest.

Paradise on earth, Santorini serenity with Panos, a perfect guide - We wanted to capture the atmosphere and views of Santorini and our guide Panos succeeded 100% He took us to various viewpoints and local treasures explaining both the history and present day situation. Panos was charming and non invasive. He found for us a local taverna with delicious local food. In all a perfect day in Santorini. Thankyou Panos

We booked last minute and they made our Santorini wine tour happen perfectly! - We only booked our guide/driver an hour in advance, so we were nervous. However, Ares showed up on time, in place at the reception of our hotel, and ready to go! He picked the two of us up in a Jaguar F-Pace. We were not sure where we wanted to go, but we wanted to tour Santorini’s wineries. No problem for Ares, he took us to the best wineries in Santorini with a blend in choices between the best wines, the most historic, and the best views, always using his local connections to call ahead and get us a table despite the fact that he only found out what we wanted to do when he picked us up. Best advice I can give, don’t hesitate, they really will go out of their way to give you the tour you want. Thank you Ares!

Best of Santorini in a day! - This was a great choice and best money spent!! Good communication, easy pickup! Our driver Tazos was extremely knowledgeable about literally everything related to the island and the grapes, history, and so many other things, secret places to get the best photos. We really enjoyed him as well as the island paradise. His passion for his home and his job is very evident. Nice Mercedes Van with AC very safe and sane driver. We highly recommend!

Perfect 6 hr. Tour! - We booked this tour in hopes of seeing Santorinis best spots and giving us an idea of where we would like to spend more time. It did not disappoint. Our 6hr tour started with Panos picking us up promptly, in a very well maintained vehicle. He was friendly, knowledgeable and just fun to spend time with. Our list of places was covered along with a few he added. Panos knew great spots for pictures and the winery tasting tour was the perfect way to end our day. These tours can be tailored to you and the times too! This tour was everything we could have hoped for!

Santorini in a Day—exceeded expectations - Our guide Nikosas was on-time, with a clean car and a smile. Our transport exceeded expectations! It was everything we wanted, what was promised and then he kicked it up a notch. We feel this was the best way to see all of the highlights of Santorini in a brief one-day excursion. Of course there is more and we will be back; however, Nikosas made it possible for us to enjoy the best of Santorini on our first visit!

informative, fun - Santorini is so much more than *just* the view and seeing the island was beyond our expectations. Leading up to our tour they were very responsive and helpful. They were also very accommodating customizing our tour - there were a few sites we wanted to see such as the Akitori ruins, we did not see other sites since that was a bit farther/longer of a tour. The ruins were AWESOME. Our guide Nikos had a lot of helpful insight about the agriculture and layout of Santorini. At the end of our tour he dropped us off at Paralia Perissa, one of beaches and we spent the rest of the afternoon lounging and enjoying the VERY COOL surroundings. Truly unique and would recommend it to anyone

Amazing trip - It was so great and an amazing tour around the island! We saw hidden gems and touristspots - but our guide made sure, that we saw what we wanted and that the trip was everything we dreamed of. Thank you so much for all the new knowledge we have about Santorini and for all the great places you to us!

No clue what to do in Santorini? No problem here — You need this! - We were quite clueless on where to actually go in Santorini. Our driver’s name is Aris and I highly recommend him! First, he is extremely knowledgeable about Santorini. We had several questions about the island (including a lot of historical and cultural questions) and now we feel extremely enriched from the knowledge he gave us. We trusted him to make a good itinerary and every location was a banger. Second, he is excellent at managing the limited time we had (5 hours). We managed to go to several places and still have time to relax at a specific location. The fear of hiring a private car service is that due to the flexibility in terms of locations, you will not have enough time to see everything and you would have to sacrifice some locations. With Aris, we never felt like we were being rushed or we were running out of time. We made it to every location we planned to go to. Finally, he is a great conversationalist. It made the trip not feel monotone and overall the vibe of it was immaculate. BONUS: Excellent photographer (from someone picky when it comes to photos)
