Fantastic Tour

5.00Tasos was fantastic! very nice when he picked us up, very knowledgeable through the tour and helpful to decide what all we wanted to see. This young man could not have been better. It is wonderful to be able to talk and get the perspective of the local people This is how you should see Santorini. Not on a bus of 40 people and a guide that is reading a script. This was so much more personal.
Great tour. And great guide

5.00Tasos was graet!! He changed up the tour to do the things we most wanted to do but really took his suggestions. He grew up in Santorini and loves his island. He made it special and really explained things to us in a way that would have been lacking ona big tour. we feel like we did and saw the best of the island. He is very nice and easy to spend the day with. If you can book him, I promise you will be happy you did.

Luxury taxi ride but you’re own your own one you get there

4.00You may as well take a taxi. Driver was knowledgeable and car was quite comfortable. Drive explained some history while enroute to our destination. I was a little disappointed that when arrived at the top Santorini with the maze off shops he sent us off on our own and told us he would pick us up in a couple where he dropped us off We got lost so he sent us a pin for google maps. I expected a guided tour not a luxury shuttle service He did same thing a the black sand beach. Then announce we were out of time be cause trying to find our way back to the car I don’t feel the services. were worth the price

5.00We had a wonderful tour experience with Tasos. He shared many historical facts about Santorini. It rained and he went out his way to ensure we had a enjoyable experience since most of the wineries were closed or booked due to the rain I most enjoyed the house caves and lunch at Perivolos and the black sand beach. The most inspiring story for me was about his grandfather who cut hair and shared fables that most people believed, Lol! Thank you Tasos for a great experience!
The Perfect Escape from the Cruise!

5.00I visited Santorini with my family during my cruise. Tasos was the best possible guide since he is a local and everybody knew him. He took us to the Blue domes and on the best beach I’ve ever been in my life. He also took us to some traditional cave houses. Perfect experience of Santorini!
An enjoyable 3 hours

5.00We had a really enjoyable 3 hours with Tassos on our private tour. We paid for a van & got our own BMW which was a great bonus. He was very knowledgeable about the places we went to & was super flexible during the tour. He gave us some good local foodie places to visit too. We would definitely book him again next time in Santorini.
Awesome!

5.00We had an incredible experience with Tasos as our guide in Santorini! He showed us all the best spots in a super comfortable car, making the tour relaxing and enjoyable. Tasos knew exactly where to take us for the perfect photos, and his knowledge of the island made the day even more special. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Santorini!
A nice experience

5.00A very beautiful way to get to know Santorini. Tasos is very knowledgeable and gives you a complete overview of the island.
True locals!

5.00Tasos was the best! He picked us up on time in a beautiful car and took us safely around the island. While driving from one place to another, he explained a lot about our surroundings and the history of Santorini. We took some great photos of the three blue domes and then continued to explore hidden cave houses. In the end, he dropped us off at a winery for a quick wine tasting. He is a true local, and we feel lucky to have had him as our guide.
