5.00If you’re considering a tour of Santorini, book with Theo—you won’t regret it! This was one of the highlights of our trip. Theo has an incredible ability to tailor the day to your group. We were traveling with three kids, and he adjusted the pace perfectly while still keeping the tour fascinating for the adults. He made the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems come alive in a way that was engaging for everyone. Beyond the beautiful sights, Theo took us to places we never would have found on our own: breathtaking scenic viewpoints, a peaceful farm-to-table lunch, and an amazing local bakery. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. One of the biggest surprises was how many incredible family photos we came home with. Theo knew all the best photo spots and was so generous in helping capture our family throughout the day. These are memories we’ll treasure forever! If you want to experience the real Santorini—not just the crowded tourist spots—with someone who is knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and passionate about his island, Theo is the guide to book. We truly can’t imagine a better way to see Santorini. Thank you, Theo, for an unforgettable day!

The Highlight of Our Santorini Trip

5.00If you’re visiting Santorini, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Chris. He gave us an unforgettable day exploring the island and showed us places we never would have found on our own. What made the experience truly special was how personal it felt. Chris even took us to his own garden, where he picked fresh cucumbers for us to try—a simple gesture that perfectly captured the warmth and hospitality of Greece. Throughout the day, he shared fascinating information about Santorini’s history, culture, and local life, making every stop more meaningful. His knowledge of the island is incredible, and he answered every question we had with enthusiasm and insight. One of the highlights was lunch at Afros, which ended up being one of our favorite meals of the trip. The food, the setting, and the local atmosphere were exactly what we were hoping to experience, and we never would have found it without Chris. Chris isn’t just a driver or guide—he’s an ambassador for Santorini. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his island, he made our day one of the highlights of our entire Greece vacation. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

5.00My family had a wonderful day with our driver-guide George. Our ship tendered to the old port of Fira, where we took a 3-hour sail to the volcanic island and hot springs swim. This let the cable car line get much better. We arranged a meeting point at the McDonald's in Fira, a couple of blocks from the cable car co getting. George was right on time and we set out for Firostephani (for the 3 bells) and then Oia (where we walked,saw blue-domed churches from a wonderful vantage point, and had a great lunch- self pay- at a rooftop café. We then walked thru Megalochori, had a quick peak at Pyrgos, and returned to Fira for a sunset dinner (Volcano Blue). It was a great 5-hour trip. Thanks, George. You made it all work without it feeling rushed and choreographed!
Thorough tour with amazing views!

5.00Theo was a wonderful guide who took us on an extended tour throughout the island, showing us local spots as well as the touristy ones. As a local born and raised in Santorini, his knowledge of the island is unparalleled and I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to have a local guide who knows the lesser known spots and towns. I highly recommend Theo for a comprehensive tour of Santorini!

Best Private Tour Ever To See Santorini

- Review from Viator
5.00Today was awesome. We feel like Theodore went above and beyond and showed us all of the island and more. He showed us the best places to get amazing photos of all the sights of Santorini and even showed us a great family restaurant that served us delicious food for lunch. He also showed us the best place to get coffee. He was very knowledgeable and took us to everything on our list and to several things that were not on our list. He even gave us tips of places to visit and see on our own in the area where our hotel is located. He was very polite and friendly. This was a tour that allows you to truly know and see Santorini completely without missing anything. It was a full day and a great day seeing all of Santorini. Thank you Theodore for your kind hospitality of us today. You did a great job!!! Sincerely, Sheila, Joe, and Amber
