Giannis was amazing! We got to do everything we want and skipped the big traffic areas for some off the beaten path adventures! He was knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating with the 4 of us.

Kostaa showed us the highlights of Santorini and shared his vast knowledge of the island’s history along with customs of the Greek people. We toured vineyards, Akritiri, Megalochori, Red Beach, and the beautiful city of Oia. We ended our tour viewing the sunset from a cliffside bar while experiencing a wine tasting and enjoying delicious sandwiches. Kostas escorted us back to the cable car and we bid him farewell, sad to be leaving Santorini. We could not have planned a more enjoyable day. Thank you, Kostas!
He took us fabulous places in Santorini.

Kostas was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely use him again. He made our experience so memorable. He was “part of the family” by the end of the trip!

First the communication with George and Kostas was without flaw. Kostas was on time and full of energy. He was so excited to talk about the history and cultures of Santorini. This is very much our vibe. He answered all our questions and more. His smile was as large as his enthusiasm for knowledge. We had a wonderful time that was ended by the priceless sunset of Santorini. Thank you Kostas for an unforgettable day.

Costas was a superb, well-informed, friendly, and well-spoken guide. We had a great tour of Oia, black and red sand beaches, Megalochori, and Akrotiri archeological museum, capping off a wonderful evening watching the sunset while wine tasting great Greek wines and hors d'oeuvres. Recommended highly!
