5.00This Santorini tour was an absolute joy from start to finish! Our guide was not only warm but also full of insightful stories and fascinating facts that made every stop feel special. Walking through picturesque villages, tasting local delights, and sipping on Santorini’s famous wines felt like a warm and personal adventure with a good friend. The perfect mix of humor, knowledge, and stunning views made this one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. Highly recommend if you want a laid-back, authentic, and fun way to discover Santorini!

5.00Kostis was an incredible guide. This was our favorite tour. We walked along the caldera trail, sampled food and drinks from restaurants along the way with breathtaking views. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared information in a way that was interesting to all of us. It was the perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary and son’s 19 th birthday. Truly a memorable experience.
Great local tour!

5.00During the beautiful weather of May, we enjoyed both a small group sunset walking tour with tastings and drinks and a private half-day tour of Santorini with our guide, Apostolos. We went on the small group tour on our first evening and it was a great introduction to the island. Be ready to walk and bring a camera or a smartphone because you will see some fantastic views. We also enjoyed getting to know the other members of our group from other parts of the world. The drinks and food choices were representatives of Greece and our guide was able to weave history, culture, and political intrigue into our tour. That tour covers Imerovergli, Firostehpani, and Fira. The private half-day tour the next day included numerous spots and shopping in Oia, Pyrgos, and Aktorini (with a guided tour with an archeologist) and we finished with a wine tasting. Apostolos is personable and knowledgeable and we felt like we were visiting the island with a friend. We highly recommend him and both of these tours.
