We had an amazing time on our private Santorini tour! Petros showed us the real side of the island, taking us through beautiful traditional villages and scenic routes. The highlight was watching the sunset from Prophet Elias – absolutely breathtaking. Everything was well organized and full of great moments. Highly recommended!

We had an unforgettable private sailing experience in Santorini with Petros. We sailed on a traditional sailboat with food on board, and our children absolutely loved it. Petros explained in a very simple and interesting way how sailing works, the wind, the sails, and traditional navigation, which kept the kids fully engaged. The highlight was the sunset sailing with dinner on the sea – truly magical. A perfect family-friendly sailing tour in Santorini that we will always remember.

My husband (Javan) and I requested a private tour guide during our stay in Santorini. We were so lucky to get Petros Papathanasiou as our guide. If we could have given him 100 stars, we would have. Petros was on time, knowledgeable, kind and flexible. He knows everything about Santorini. He’s a great driver and his car was clean and very comfortable. You can contact him personally through Facebook Messenger by searching Petros Papathanasiou. We will definitely use his services upon our return to beautiful Santorini. You, too, will not regret his services as a tour operator.

During my visit to the island, I had an unforgettable wine tasting experience that lasted about three hours. We tasted 12 exceptional local wines and learned a lot about Santorini’s unique volcanic terroir. The highlight was exploring indigenous grape varieties such as Assyrtiko, Athiri, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano, each with its own distinct character. The tasting was well organized, informative, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to truly understand and taste the wines of Santorini.

I visited Santorini with my wife and we booked a four-hour private tour. During the tour, we learned about the history of the island, the fascinating story of the volcano, and the four types of rocks that make Santorini unique. We also visited the Red Beach and the Black Beach, where we were able to see the volcanic formations up close. We were extremely happy and fully satisfied with the experience.

We came to Santorini on a cruise and booked a private tour with Petros. It was the best decision we could have made. Everything was perfectly timed — we didn’t wait at all at the port, and Petros made sure we returned to the ship without any stress. No long lines, no rushing, just a smooth and enjoyable day. He showed us the highlights of the island and took great care of us throughout the tour. We were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Petros to any cruise passengers visiting Santorini.

Our tour with Petros was truly one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the island, and genuinely cares about creating a memorable experience for his guests. Petros shared fascinating history, local stories, and hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. The pace of the tour was perfect—relaxed yet engaging—and he tailored the experience to our interests, making it feel very personal rather than scripted. Beyond his expertise, Petros’ warmth, professionalism, and sense of humor made the day both enjoyable and effortless. We left not only with stunning photos, but with a deeper appreciation for Santorini’s culture, history, and beauty. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-quality tour that goes beyond the typical tourist experience, I cannot recommend Petros enough. This is a must-do in Santorini!

The best excursion of our entire trip was the private tour with Petros. He showed us around almost 75% of the island, explaining everything in a very friendly and relaxed way. We felt like we were traveling with a local friend, not just a guide. One of the highlights was stopping at the black beach, where we had lunch at a lovely seaside taverna with amazing food and a beautiful view. Everything was perfectly timed and never rushed. The tour ended with an unforgettable sunset at Firostefani, which was the perfect way to finish the day. Petros was professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We truly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini. It was a unique experience and a memory we will never forget.
