Evan’s was great. Took us too and Showed us exactly where to take photos. He could use a little improvements on his photography skills. He put the subject right in front of the important landscape we wanted visible, the subject should be off to the side of the important landscape. It was a great trip anyways! Thanks

My friend and I were on a cruise that stopped in Santorini. We wanted a private tour that allowed us to see some of the top sites, specifically the really photographed ones. We sell these tours for work and wanted to be able to show clients what they can expect. We chose the 4hr private tour. We tendered in from the ship and took a cable car to the top of the cliff where Fira stands. We were met by a gentleman holding a sign with our names and he brought us to our tour guide. Our guides name was Xenophon or Fon for short. Fon was extremely friendly and brought us to a spot near the port first to explain how the island is situated compared to other islands and explain how the island was formed. After the Fira stop, we went to Oia. Man was it crowded! But Fon has a couple tricks up his sleeve to cut through the crowds. He got us to some great photo spots and navigated us through the mayhem very easily. He offered to take our phones often so we were able to get pictures together and separately and his pictures are fantastic! Not on the tour but things he added after talking to us to see what our interests were, we went to the highest point on the island to where a monastery stands, a winery, a red sand beach, and Fon’s favorite spot on the island. The winery was in a beautiful location and we ate a small plate of olives and cheeses with the wine, sustaining us enough until we got back to Fira. Each additional place Fon brought us to was special in its own way. It was definitely busy on the island, but Fon got us through the crowds seamlessly and read the ebb and flow of tourist traffic very well so we never felt overwhelmed. It oddly felt relaxing because of how easy going he is. Another thing worth mentioning is how safely he drives. My friend gets motion sick very easily and we never had an issue. Truly loved this day and this tour with Fon. He’s so funny and conversational and really goes the extra mile to provide an incredible experience to his customers. The day went by way too fast! I only wish we had booked a longer tour. Highly recommend!!

Ares was our driver and tour guide and he was incredible! Although this was a group tour, it was just my husband and I, so it ended up being more like a private tour. It was easy to locate Ares and he showed us beautiful sights. He was very knowledgeable and kind and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend this tour and guide!

This was the best tour of our entire greek isles cruise. It is the only way to go in order to see the island. Our guide was fantastic and really knew the area. He knew where to park and how to get around efficiently, so that we could see everything on the VERY busy cruise day while visiting.

Evans was my driver and guide, and he was super knowledgeable, friendly and knew the best spots for good views and photos. He helped navigate crowded areas with ease. The tour is customizable to what you want to do which is super nice, though I was good with the suggested itinerary and pace. I also went solo (female) and felt completely safe. This was a great way to get to see and learn a lot about a great deal of Santorini, and get some cute photos as a solo traveler (shout out Evans for acting as my photographer lol). We ended with a visit to Santo Wines with a beautiful sunset view. I’d recommend it for solo or couples/small groups!
