Thanos: The Ultimate Santorini Insider (5 Stars)
aileenr526,,Feb 9, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00If you’re coming to Santorini and don’t book Thanos, honestly… why even try? 😌 From the moment he picked us up straight from the airport, it was clear we were in elite hands. Thanos toured us around the entire island like a local legend—zero stress, zero boring stops, all vibes. He took us to genuinely great restaurants, knew exactly where to go for the best views, and somehow made every drive feel like hanging out with a cool friend who just happens to know everything. Bonus points for his personality: super chill, funny, and effortlessly cool. He knows when to give you space and when to drop fun stories and tips. Professional but never stiff—more like Santorini’s coolest insider. 😎
Magnificent

5.00#Thanos. #Santorini. #Bluedomes. #Mercedes. Need I say more? Look 👀 . Hotel pickup at preferred time was essential to satisfaction. And we were satisfied. Incredible experience to many of the beautiful sights Santorini, and Thanos, has to offer. Everything was above board and precisely as expected. Yassou!! Jeanette & Summer. 💌
A wonderful Santorini experience with Thanos!

5.00We did the private customized Santorini tour in a sedan this January; we had booked through Viator. We had an exceptional guide in Thanos! He reached out over WhatsApp the previous night to discuss customizing the tour. He got us to all corners of the island at a leisurely pace that we liked. Thanos was extremely knowledgeable to answer any question about various facets of the island such as its geology, history and the present; he is very friendly and engaging which made the tour a wonderful experience. He is a well-experienced traveler himself who could offer insights and comparisons from his own travels. He is also a good photographer who knew the right spots and angles and offered to take our group photos throughout the tour. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for more... he made our Santorini trip truly memorable. We would highly recommend Thanos and this tour company (Santorinian Collection) to anyone visiting the island.
We had a great...

5.00This was the best tour of our entire Greece trip. He picked us up on time in a very comfortable vehicle. He gave us lots of information and kept our kids engaged. He also takes great photos. I like guides on private tours that know when to step away and give you a moment to enjoy without interference. I would definitely use him again and will recommend him to friends for their Santorini experience.
Petros Papathanasiou-Prive Tour Guide in Santorini

5.00When my husband and I visited Santorini, we requested a Private Customized Tour and we were so lucky to get Petros Papathanasiou. He was on time, exremely knowledgeable and flexible. His English was excellent. In addition, Petros' was a great driver and his car was clean and comfortable. Petros went above and beyond our requests and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. To connect with him, go to Facebook Messenger and search the name Petros Papathanasiou. You will not regret it.
Great tour with Thanos!

5.00Thanos was our private tour guide for a day trip to Santorini and was very kind, helpful and made our trip even better! He showed us all the highlights of the island and great photo opportunities without ever feeling like we were rushed. He helped with taking our pictures and even got us local sweets to try! Would definitely come back to Santorini again with this tour company!

5.00We did a Santorini private day tour . Thanos was our guide/driver and he was amazing. He took us all over the town and showed us beautiful spots for pictures. He explained us the history as well. He is very knowledgeable. He was also our professional photographer :). Extremely friendly and accommodating. Very easy to talk to! We had a great time with lots of fun and laughter. I would highly recommend them when in Santorini. Thankyou Thanos for making this trip so memorable.
