An Unforgettable Tour of Santorini

5.00We had the pleasure of taking our private tour with Aries and it was amazing start to finish. He took us to all the locations we sent to him the night prior. Additionally when we messaged him before our tour he answered very quickly, even reaching out to the Wine Museum in advance to make sure they were open. After our tour was finished we expressed we wanted to see Akrotiri the next day and he even went out of his way to call and check if they were open for us. He is the kind of guide who will go out of his way for you, to ensure you have the best trip! On top of that, he is very knowledgeable. As we explored the Monastery of Prophet Elias, Pyrgos, Imerovigli, Meglochori he explained all the history behind these places. He also made sure to take the best photos for us! He did not make us feel rushed at all and created the best memories for us. We learned so many things about Greek culture and the history of Santorini thanks to Aries. When we come back to Santorini, we will definitely take a tour with Aries again!!
Santorini with Tasos

5.00You know the fancy movie theaters, with the reclining heated seats? Before going to one myself I thought they weren't worth the extra cost - why would I pay extra to see the same exact movie?! And then I went to one and it changed my entire viewing experience; I'll never be able to go to a regular movie theater again. That's how seeing Santorini with a private tour guide was, Tasos is the comfy reclining chair that is worth every single penny. He helped shape our itinerary, had SO much current and historical knowledge, got us to secret places with no lines, and made great recommendations that we used throughout the rest of our trip. This experience has changed how we will travel going forward and we highly recommend it, and especiallyTasos.

Best tour of the island of Santorini ❤️

5.00We had the most wonderful tour of the island with Aris! We got to see all the wonderful sites we wanted to see on the island, and Aris is a wealth of information on the history and geology of Santorini. We are so happy we had this amazing experience, and visiting Santorini would not have had the same meaning without this great tour.
Great day trip for the family

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Aris. He brought us to the main attractions and provided us with clear and detailed explanations. Our family enjoyed the trip. I recommend this tour to families and for the elderly
Highlight of our trip! Wonderful, comprehensive tour with experienced and engaging guide

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience! We only had 2 days in Santorini and without this tour, would not have seen or appreciated nearly half as much of the island. Our guide was informative, engaging and a pleasure to spend a few hours with. Traveling by car to the must-see sights was comfortable and well worth the money spent!
Like getting a tour from a funny and knowledgeable cousin!

5.00What a warm, friendly and knowledgeable guide! Aris soon made us feel like family as he picked us up/dropped us off, opened doors, took our pictures and chatted amiably about this site or that historic spot. We visited everything from a beach to castle's remains, plus a bit of shopping while hearing about the past and present, the people and society. When we were hungry he steered us to a spot that had the tastiest gyros known to mankind. Parking is scarce on the island and Aris would drop us off close to a site and then find parking and meet us at an assigned spot thus keeping our walking to a modest amount - but I'm sure his was off the charts by the end. Highly recommended - and the only tour my wife made sure I reviewed!

5.00We really enjoyed our tour in Santorini. The guide was very knowledgeable and tailored our experience to our specific interests. He also acted as photographer by taking pictures of the two is us with our phones. Lunch was at a restaurant called Forty One. It was a great location right on the beach and the Santorini salad was awesome. I highly recommend this company!
Early tour stop at Oia

5.00What a great not-to-be-missed tour. Our guide Taso was excellent, helpful and knowledgeable. We took the earliest tour and missed the crowds at Oia to see the blue domed church. Sun popped out just in time. Also went to an archaeological sight and the red sand beach.
