5.00Ares, the tour guide driver was great, excellent communicator, fluent in English. We learned a lot of the historical places in Santorini, Greece. If ever we will come back to Greece, it will be in Santorini 😍🙏.

5.00We had a wonderful tour, visiting the traditional sightseeing spots while avoiding the crowds. Everything was fine-tuned to our personal needs, balancing the desire to see the famous highlights with moments of rest, quiet, and opportunities to connect with the beauty of nature and the island. Xenophon set just the right pace—never rushing, and sharing just the right amount of information without overwhelming us with facts giving space for exploring and getting in touch with the place. In only four hours, we gained a beautiful overview of the island and beyond. We are extremely grateful for this unforgettable experience, which ended perfectly with Santorini wine at a table reserved for us, offering a stunning view of the famous Santorini sunset. Truly unforgettable.
Amazing tour, highly recommend tour guide, Xenofon

5.00Awesome tour! Our tour guide, Xenofon was excellent. He took us on a 6 hour private tour of Santorini and really made our day trip a fun one. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and entertaining. My parents are both seniors in their late 70s and he really catered to their needs making the tour an enjoyable on. We stopped through all of the major spots. I felt that with such a short visit, with Xebofon’s guidance, we were able to soak up it all up and truly enjoy the beauty of Santorini. Not to mention, Xenofon’s photography skills..amazing. Excellent experience, great customer service, would highly recommend.

5.00Mike is very knowledgeable about Santorini Island, local culture and the history. He answered our questions and followed up with additional, related information. Mike knows the area, made recommendation and took us to the well known highlights and some secret spots. Mike allocated time for sunset wine tasting based on our request. He gave us time to explore on our own during the tour. He gave us pointers on exploring the island using the buses for our remaining time on Santorini. He is a very safe driver on the narrow roads. He is friendly and polite. We enjoyed the tour.
Great City Tour!

5.00In Santorini, Michael was professional and coordinated well for our arrival and getting us into appropriate hotels. He also came and talked to us to give us advice for our stay in hotel and places to visit.
Great tour with our guide Fon!!

5.00This was a great tour. We traveled the entire length of Santorini. Our tour guide was Xenofon, or Fon (pronounced phone) for short. He was fantastic. I have no idea how good the other guides are, I cant imagine they could be better than Fon. Great personality, wonderfully knowledgable, he answered questions we had before we had the chance to ask them. He picked us up at our hotel in Kamari. We drove up the west coast with stops in Fira and Firostefani. We had a long stop in Oia. Lisa took a hundred pictures. Oia is beautiful and crowded. Fon gave us hints soon how to find the best spots for pictures and they worked. We beat the crowds! We then headed down the eastern side all the way to the lighthouse with some beautiful stops along the way. The lighthouse was packed with people to see the sunset. The parking was so bad I'm sure some of those people are still stuck there. Fon showed us a better spot and we watched the sunset with 6 other people. It was awesome. I'd tell you where it was if I actually knew where we were. I think your going to have to hire Fon to find out. Believe me it will be worth your time and the price.
