Great way to spend your time in Santorini - Ionna was a really great tour guide! She really had a great sense of humor and was a very pleasant knowledgeable guide. Since it was just the four of us on the trip, she was able to plan an outing that fit our needs and interest. It was a very enjoyable day.

Spectacular Santorini - Such a wonderful way to get an overview of Santorini- stops at historic sights throughout the island, visits to places I would have never found on our own. Angelo gave us a Greek history that was so informative along the way

Santorini and Angelo our tour guide, simply beautiful! - Angelo our tour guide is very knowledgeable, polite & accommodating. He shared so much history about the Island, why the streets are small and you might get lost if you're not paying attention :) why Greek colours are white and blue, why Albanians move to Greece, why the Prime Minister has 25 body guards, why Greek men has to join the army for a year hahaha. He also suggested a beautiful resto, good food and service. It's worth every penny. Thank you again!

Mary & Yannis are excellent guides and genuinely nice people - We had a great tour with Mary (guide) & Yannis (driver). Mary greeted us at the hotel and drove us all over the island. The tour included a list of preselected places but they offered to alter the tour to change as we wanted.
Mary was very informative, had photos of the past and clearly explained the islands history and current development. She was genuinely nice to talk with during the tour and fun to be around. We saw so much and learned even more.
We opted to swap Oia for a winery and requested her suggestion. She took us to a small winery with lots of history and excellent wine.
We really enjoyed our time during the tour.
Yannis, our driver got us around the island quickly through local only known roads in an area where google maps doesn’t quite have down yet. Safe and responsible driving in a nice vehicle.
Mary went above and beyond and helped us in the days after the tour! Always quick to respond and genuinely helpful! I truly appreciate her!
Definitely book with her and Yannis!
