The best tour of Santorini - tailored for you - We have just returned from a 1-week cruise around the Cyclades. Before we left I knew that we wanted a more personal and tailored tour to explore Santorini than the cruise ship was offering. I booked a 'Tour with a local' and based on previous reviews I asked specifically for Billy to be our driver.
I am so glad we did - it was a brilliant tour and possibly the best one we took during the week. Billy has an amazing knowledge of the island and after he had discovered I was interested in photography, he made sure we got to see locations that the usual tours would not have visited. The 5-hour trip zipped by as we visited beautiful little towns, a hilltop monastery, the red and black beaches and finished up in Oia for the infamous sunset. As the sun set, low cloud obscured the sun but, on Billy's advice he lead us to a great spot near the castle which gave stunning views back onto the town in the soft light. He even turned photographer himself and took some lovely photos of us.
To sum up, this is a great tour. Billy personalised it specially for us and I know we saw a lot more than we ever would with a coach full of other visitors. Thank you Billy - sorry you missed out of a photo with Gulliver the travel bear!!

You won’t be disappointed with this amazing Private tour around Thira. - Our tour around Santorini ( Thira) was a memorable and wonderful experience for my husband and I on our first ever visit to this amazing island. And we have Billy to thank for that- he’s an engaging easy-going, friendly, passionate and knowledgeable guide, flexible and he loves his work. He also was a great guide for the rocks and geology of this island and history too.
We so enjoyed seeing around this island which is much larger and more varied than we imagined and no amount of photos can replace the living experience.
We are so thankful for choosing to explore by private tour and Billy was the perfect guide for us.

The best of Santorini private tour. Billy was great. - Billy was fantastic. We ran late due to a busy tender port day, so he had to wait an hour for us.
Even with us running late, we got to see all the places we wanted to see. Billy was very attentive to my husband, who had to walk with a cane. He was comfortable talking to and learning not only about Santorini but he himself. We would recommend him to anyone.

The best of Santorini in one tour - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour. Billy, our driver and tour guide was so friendly, knowledgeable and showed great enthusiasm. We left it for him to take us to see the main highlights of the island. Billy was great at navigating us though the crowds and assisted us in taking some great photos. Thank you for such a memorable part of our holiday in Santorini.

Billy the Considerate, Knowledgeable, and Caring Guide. You can’t go wrong! - Billy did an amazing job accommodating our family requests on a hot Santorini day. We saw the monastery, local peninsula, shopping, all the key photo spots of the beautiful Greek blue, white, and cave architecture in the cliffs. We learned a lot and are some great foods. Black sand beach was refreshing. Great ☕️ 🧊 spot!

Great Tour in Santorini! - We had a wonderful day with Ioannis (John) in Santorini! This private tour with just John and the 2 of us in a comfortable Audi sedan was just what we were looking for. Despite being from Thessaloniki, John spends months every year in Santorini and was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to adjust the sightseeing stops based on our needs and desires. This was the perfect private, customized tour! We saw the island from north to south and also wanted to add a winery tour, so he made a couple of phone calls then gave us 2 options, and we ended up with the perfect afternoon wine tasting with Greek mezes overlooking the shimmering Aegean. It was an absolutely great value and I highly recommend John and this tour!
