Amazing tour

5.00We did a day trip to Santorini and our tour guide Babis was perfect. He has lived there for most of his life, so he was able to give us an intimate experience that covered many interesting facts and details about the island. He was also extremely adept at finding us the best places for taking pictures, and was even bypassing other tour lines to accommodate us. He took us to several villages and he knew that we had a late flight, so he was able to secure a few chairs and umbrellas on the black beach, which made for a very relaxing end of the day. He simply could not have been better, and it was a great way to get acquainted with this amazing island.

5.00We had a wonderful private tour of Santorini with Aphrodite! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and tailored the day perfectly to our interests. We visited photo-worthy spots away from the crowds, learned so much about the island’s history, and arranged time to relax at Perivolos Beach, enjoying the black sand and swimming. We visited a traditional cave house and saw all the island’s highlights with ease thanks to her.. A perfect, memorable day—highly recommend!
Wonderful, fun day!

5.00Absolutely, wonderful day! Our kids loved it too! Thomas, our driver, was easy to locate once we made it up the cable car. He made the trip fun and exciting. We loved the picturesque sites and attractions. We decided to have lunch at the black beach while the kids played in the sand and swam. The van was nice, cool and clean. We highly recommend. Beautiful, neat area.

5.00We had an amazing private tour of Santorini today with our fantastic guide Babis! Babis is a Santorini local, with extensive knowledge of the island. We visited so many places and learned so much in one day, and he took us to lots of great photo spots for shots of the iconic blue domes, landscapes and lots more :). He was super friendly and kind, and really went the extra mile to make sure that we had the best day. Great memories made! Highly recommend! :)
