5.00Savvas was amazing! He told us so many cool facts about all the beauty around us all while taking photos! He never got tired of taking photos and took a bunch in each spot. He also had cold waters for us and made sure to go to a few churches for my mom. Not only was he super knowledgeable and a skilled driver, he was also hilarious! It seemed like he and my husband were long lost friends the way they were talking and laughing together! We also got a 10% discount at a souvenir store because of him and he even brought us to a delicious restaurant where they sat us right away. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this activity thank you sooo much Savvas!

5.00We were so happy to travel around Santorini with Savvas , Melton Co. in Jun 19, 2025. He was so helpful and willing to take photos with us . He told us the historical culture of Santorini in details. He didn’t feel tired and kept his smiles. We would introduce our friends to Savvas in near future . Thank you very much for Savvas, Melton Co. as well as Vistor Co.
Amazing tour and tour guide!

5.00Alex was an incredible tour guide and went above and beyond for us, even coordinating our transport to the airport the following day. We had an amazing time and got to see pretty much all of the island and experienced a very unique wine tasting and tour at a local vineyard. Highly recommend!
A great customized tour experience!

5.00Our day with Alex was nothing short of amazing! At the beginning of the tour, he asked additional questions on our areas of interest so that our tour was truly customized. He also had the inside tricks to avoid the large crowds! We were able to see all of the island highlights and are glad that we had Alex as our guide! We highly recommend his tour!

5.00This was a wonderful tour. We highly recommend it, very comfortable, interesting, beautiful. Alexandros is very helpful and friendly, we had multiple conversations before the tour with him, he wanted to ensure all was going to be perfect. Our tourguide Savvas was very friendly and knowledgeable, very interested in adapting the tour to show us sites based on our interests. He suggested places to see and also added the places we wanted to see (we wanted to see a few churches, he talked about the 500 churches in Santorini, showed us a few, and we entered a few). He let us stay as much as we wanted at each place. He explained the history of each place, he told us a lot of very interesting information about the people, the places, the events, the civilization, the local, agriculture, the local plants, the foods. He brought us to eat at an excellent restaurant that local people prefer, and the food there was wonderful and reasonably priced. He also showed us on the way some very nice souvenir stores where we got better prices because of being part of his tour. We visited a few churches and the monastery that is the highest point of the island of Santorini. The views from the top of the island are superb. At each place we visited, he brought us to a convenient spot, then went to park the car, and promptly re-joined us. Transportation was in a very comfortable, air conditioned Mercedes van, very clean. Absolutely wonderful tour, we highly recommend it. Thanks a lot!
Great tour!!!
