Tours and transfers - We took a half day tour around the island with Holiday Mood and also used them as transfer/taxi service to and from our hotel. She was helpful with planning our pick up time since we were on the ferry arriving that day. Marios was our driver. He was there to pick us up a few minutes early and stopped for us to get a bite to eat since we hadn’t had food since breakfast. He was a great driver and knew so much about the island. He asked about what we wanted to do and the best way to get it all done with the limited time since we also stopped for food.
Holiday Mood was also quick to reply when we wanted transfer service and sent the license plate numbers which was helpful. All of the drivers we had were kind. I highly recommend Holiday Mood while in Santorini.

Great tour - We had 1/2 day, comprehensive tour. Peter was very personable, knowledgeable and open to make the experience ours. He took us to all the Island’s greatest sights, knowing the times when to avoid high tourist volumes.
Highly recommend this tour.

Must do tour - A great tour with Marios , 5 hours in an extremely comfortable air conditioned van. A flexible tour where the importance is what you would like to see. Marios is well informed and a delightful and experienced driver. There were three of us all over the age of 65 and we all enjoyed it throughly.

Tour of Santorini was Spectacular! - Our tour of Santorini was so much fun and informative! Marios showed us the best time, explained to us the history of Santorini and drove us to all of the places we wanted to see - plus he suggested a few on his own. It was an amazing and fun filled day! We all highly recommend Viator when booking a tour and request Marios when in Santorini! There was also an issue with seeing a winery that was supposed to be part of our tour - I reached out to Vasiliki, and he handled everything so professionally. We could not be happier!

Perfect tour with flexibility and luxury! - Excellent in every way and flexible when we were delayed by late tenders from our cruise ship and a last minute port switch-they were awesome and picked us up!

A perfect tour - The company went above-and-beyond! Our cruise ship had to change ports last minute and had delayed tender boats-they messaged me back right away and were super flexible with rescheduling our meeting place and time! Just incredible. The van fit all 6 of us comfortably, was brand new, with excellent AC and cold water waiting (we arrived during a heatwave), and was much appreciated. Our guide Mariel was prompt, warm, friendly, patient (4 kids), flexible, and asked us what we would like to do and see. We went from each village, to the highest overlook down to the beautiful beaches and caldera. We visited the museum, churches, shops, made a pit-stop at a delicious bakery for lunch and got to snap beautiful photos of all the famous landmarks and natural beauty spots around the island. He gave us a running commentary filled with historical and current facts about Santorini, just wonderful. He took incredible care of us and I would recommend this company and guide to anyone-especially families! No hassle, no driving, no parking headaches, no crowds, and all the flexibility for everyone to enjoy their day and fall in love with Santorini.

A very good experience... - A very good experience with the private tour. We could tell our guide where we wanted to go. We went early and beat the tour bus lines.
