5.00My husband and I did a full day private tour, around 6-7 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end! Theodore was our tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun. He drove us all over the island and gave us a lot of information I don’t think many tourists get when visiting Santorini. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant, a little off the beaten path, but on the beach, for a DELICIOUS meal and some great local white wine. Overall wonderful tour! We loved Santorini and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Theo!
