Stelios and Sarah were my... - Stelios and Sarah were my guides for this tour and it was amazing. Despite going during the slow season they made it a really enjoyable experience and showed off how to get to places that would otherwise be filled with tourists and hard to reach during a busier time of year. Incredible experience.

Must do tour - We had an amazing experience on this small group tour in Santorini truly a must-do! Sara and Stelios were an incredible team…Sara our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making every stop interesting and engaging. She knows many secret spots. Stelios, our driver, was equally fantastic, professional, safe, and always smiling, which made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. The small group size made the experience feel personal and unhurried, and everything was perfectly organized. This tour exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommended!

Personal Tour - Johanna or Joanna, my apologies, our tour guide was really great. Went to Oia and a few other towns beside Santorini and saw great scenic spots. It was awesome and would definitely recommend it. Keep in mind, depending on the time of year, the cable car system may have a long line. In Oct, only one ship so no problems at all.
