Beautiful Experience - This tour was excellent! Both our guide and driver were knowledgeable about Santorini and very friendly.
Firstly, our ferry was late to the dock, and this team did everything they could to make sure we were still able to participate in the tour (we were about 30 min behind). The manager Mr. Stelios coordinated with our tour guide and kept checking in on us until we got to the pick up point for the tour. They even took our luggage to hold. Very accommodating.
Between stops, we were able to ask questions, so the tour was almost customized to our interests. The areas that we visited were perfect for photos, which the guide obliged us and took our photos. There were some crowds, but our guide did her best to avoid the busy pathways. We had a delicious lunch right on the black sand beach. We were able to eat lunch and utilize the loungers close to the water.
Mr. Stelios also operates his vans like a ride service. We were in need of a late night ride home, and he accommodated us!

Amazing day - I did this tour and I had absolutely amazing time on the small group sightseeing tour in Santorini.
From start to finish the experience was seamless and enjoyable.
Our local guide was incredible knowledge and very friendly.
The driver was also fantastic and had very good skills and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the tour.
This tour give us a deeper appreciation for Santorini beyond the typical tourist spots.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants a well organised and enjoyable way to explore the beauty of the island with a small group and truly local touch.

This was a great way to... - This was a great way to see the island. I did expect to learn more information around the history of Santorini but we mostly got dropped off in different spots and told to walk around.
