Stunning Tour, Amazing Guide - Traveling solo and without a car I was keen to see more of Santorini and to see a magical sunrise
These guys did not disappoint. Evans, my guide greeted me with such warmth at 5.30am and made me feel so at ease. I witnessed the most stunning sunrise with no other soul around and the best views the Island has to offer.
We then enjoyed a peaceful walk through Oia as it was only just beginning to wake up. Quiet streets, morning sunshine and Evans’ wonderful knowledge.
It was truly an amazing tour with a brilliant guide.
Would HIGHLY recommend

Breathingtaking! - It was an amazing experience. Xenofon was our guide. He's full of knowledge of the island, and the whole experience was breathtaking. We got to see the best spots in Santorini before other tourists arrived. Thank you, Xenofon!

Great company! Aris was amazing. - We absolutely loved Aris. He was so knowledgeable and knew all the best spots. Great photographer too! He is the kindest person. But from the very beginning of booking Santorini Island tours was so very patient and very helpful. We were on a cruise and getting on tender and up to the cable cars to make a “beat the crowds” tour was starting to worry me, but they made me feel more relaxed about it and reassured me that they would be there and my tour would only start when we got there at no extra cost. Great company to work with!

Xenofon was the best tour guide!! - Xenofon was such an amazing tour guide!! Me and my husband had the best time thanks to his knowledge on all the secret routes and shortcuts to beautiful scenic views. He was also such a kind, calm energy and so generous in taking so many pictures of us and providing us a lot of historical context we wouldn’t have known otherwise. Xenofon is the best tour guide in Greece!!!! 10/10 would recommend

Definitely a must if you want the experience without the crowds - So pleased we decided to book this tour.
Our driver, Evans, was lovely and was able to educate us on the history of the island and knew all the best places to get some great photos. Although its an early start its totally worth it. Not having the crowds or the midday heat to deal with just made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Evans also took us to a great spot to sit and enjoy our breakfast picnic that he provided.
This tour is the perfect way to see the Santorini you see in all the pictures 👌 Highly recommended

Fantastic tour with a brilliant tour guide. Recommended !!! - This was a really good tour and I cannot recommend this enough. Evans was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go and timing was perfect. I cannot stress enough as to how important it is to arrive in Santorini as early as possible in the morning. Any later and the crowds will make your day miserable. After our cruise ship arrived in port, we were the first tender boat off and over to the port. We were on the first to arrive at the cable car (essential in getting to the top of the mountain). Evans was there to meet us and into a Mercedes and over to Oia. Within 20 minutes we began the tour and saw everything we wanted to (and more) before the crowds. Amazing views and scenery. Fira is nice but Oia is the picture perfect/postcard sight. We had a breakfast picnic, bought and set-up by our guide, at an amazing viewpoint looking across the bay and caldera. Consider this tour, it's worth every penny. But make the effort to be there early and on time. If you are arriving by cruise ship be on the first tender boat ashore.

Loved the history and scenery. - Great tour. Mike and George made it even better. They interacted wonderful with our group. They were knowledgeable and patient, with the slower members of the group. The price was a little high, but then again we were only 6 people. I would recommend this tour to others.
