Perfect Family Tour of Santorini with Markos — Fun, Educational & Beautiful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We were a family of four with just a 5-hour stopover in Santorini between ferries from Crete to Milos, and Markos made sure we made the absolute most of our time!
From the start, he was super helpful and responsive — working with us beforehand to create a custom 3-hour itinerary that fit perfectly around our ferry schedule. He showed us some of the most stunning spots on the island, all while carefully managing the timing and knowing exactly how to avoid the busiest crowds.
What really impressed us was how well he connected with our kids. He made the tour genuinely fun and engaging for them, sharing fascinating facts about Santorini’s geology and history in a way that was both educational and entertaining. They were captivated the whole time!
Santorini itself was absolutely breathtaking — dramatic cliffs, whitewashed villages, and deep blue sea views everywhere you turned. But having a local like Markos guide us made it even more special.
Highly recommend booking a tour with him — especially if you’re short on time or travelling with kids. A perfect way to experience the magic of Santorini

Santorini Tour with Markos - I would have rated this service 10 stars if I could. Markos is the gold standard for a tour guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and passionate. You can tell he loves what he does, and it made the experience that much better for my wife and I. You can tell Markos truly cares, and wants you to have a memorable time. He took photos for us, and sent them to us after the tour. He answered all of our questions with a giant smile on his face, and we felt very safe driving around the island with him leading the way. He allowed us time to walk around on our own, while still guiding us in areas we would have never seen if it weren’t for him. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Thank you, Markos!

Best Tour in Greece!! - This was by far the best tour I have ever been on! And not just because of Santorini's beauty, it was mainly because we had Marcos as our tour guide! With his infectious positive personality and great sense of humor Marcos instantly made us all feel as if we were a part of his family. He is extremely likable and it was just an absolute pleasure to be around him for a day. Marcos is also extremely knowledgeable about the history of Santorini as well as the rest of Greece, he did not leave a single one of our questions unanswered (and trust me we asked A LOT)! If you are going to do anything in Santorini I cannot recommend adding Marcos into your trip enough!

One day in Santorini with many choices, hit a bulls eye with Markos - Markos brought energy, charisma, humor, and vast knowledge during our tour with him. He is passionate about showing you the best of Santorini. He blends getting to know you with getting to know about him and his family very genuinely. He cares about your experience and making sure you don't leave anything but 5 stars (haha). He earned them.

A fun day out in a beautiful place - We booked a 4 hour tour with Markos from "I am Santorini" he was warm and friendly right from the get go. Nothing was too hard and it was completely our day to tailor to our liking. His knowledge of the island was comprehensive. His car was a new model, clean and safe. We all left as good friends and i would recommend him for any tour you would like to do anywhere in Santorini.

Unforgettable! - We cannot begin to tell you how much we recommend hiring Markos if you plan to visit Santorini. It was the highlight of our trip. Markos was recommended to us by friends who had recently visited, and we were not disappointed. From the second you meet Markos; you immediately know he’s going to take care of you and make your day special.
My wife worked with Markos prior to arriving to see if he could arrange a tour for a group of 12. He made it easy securing a beautiful Mercedes van that could accommodate us easily and comfortably. We started our day with a walking tour of the small town Oia which included eating gelato at Lolita’s, a must do when you are there. Markos then took us to his home village away from all the iconic areas of Santorini to show us the true culture of Santorini life. It was quiet and peaceful, and it gave Markos time to educate us in the history of Santorini and how people actually live there on the island. He gives a lot of insight into his life and his family. This really gave us a great understanding of Greek culture and what it’s like to live in Greece. It was very special. After the tour of his village, he took us to the ruins of Akrotiri, which was extremely interesting and educational. After this, our group was hungry and VERY thirsty. Markos did not disappoint! He had already prearranged for us to visit a local restaurant on the black sand beaches of Santorini. The people at the restaurant were expecting us and we were provided VIP service during the entire experience, we were treated like rock stars. The setting could not have been better. Be sure to have Markos recommend some wines. The wines from Santorini are the best. After lunch we were taken back to the town of Fira which was a great place to end our tour.
Markos, we personally want to thank you again for creating an experience for us and our friends that we will not forget. Your enthusiasm, your passion, your love for your family and for what you do every day to bring a little joy into someone’s life is truly special. Remember what we said, if you ever get to the States, you have a place to stay in Florida!
Sincerely,
Lance & Lorie Howerton

Fun day! - We had a wonderful time with Markos. He shared numerous stories, fun facts and the history of Santorini. We had the best gelato in Oia and an amazing lunch on the beach. We explored a small town away from the busier tourist spots. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Markos.
