5.00Katerina picked us up with welcome and positivity. She had info about every place we went & and places we drove by; stayed close to take our photos & gave space in turn; and took us to amazing places to eat and see. Seamless, friendly, & knows everyone. :) Great tour and many tour options I would utilize if we were staying longer.

5.00Katerina is very kind and happy to share informations regarding Santorini and her country. We learned a lot of informations regarding the highlights of Santorini, and she did not hesitate to stop, to show and explain regarding our questions and interests, making this tour a real private tour. She spoke enough slowly and with a very good diction to be understood by my French family. I recommend this wonderful and very interesting tour.
A Bucket List Tour That Was Amazing

5.00My wife and I booked a private tour with Roula and Katerina was our tour guide. The communications with Roula was outstanding before our tour. Roula was quick to reply with all needed information. On the day of the tour, Katerina was awaiting us when we arrived. Katerina was very informative by pointing out special interests along the way. Katerina took several pictures for us and was a pleasure to spend the day with. She offered plenty of water, as the day was very warm. We would definitely book another tour with Santorini Golden Tours without questions. If you want to see the whole island and have a terrific time, then book with Roula and Katerina...you won't be disappointed

5.00We were able to see the best of Santorini thanks to Mario! He made recommendations beyond our expectations! The winery, the black beach and the most beautiful scenery yet. I cannot recommend this company enough. Communication was great
Perfect Day in Santorini – Above and Beyond Service!

5.00Roula and Katerina of Santorini Golden Tours made our day in Santorini absolutely unforgettable! We booked a private boat tour for fourteen of us that included a hike on the volcano, a swim in the hot springs, and private walking tours of Oia and Fira. Not only did they meet our expectations—they went above and beyond! When we ran out of our favorite beverages partway through the day, they made a quick call to local contacts, and—like magic—they were delivered right to the boat. That’s the kind of next-level service you can expect! Roula and Katerina know Santorini inside and out. They have all the local connections, the insider tips, and a true talent for curating the best experiences and photo-worthy moments. We ate like the locals, saw 300-year-old grape vines, tasted local produce, got access to VIP photo spots without the line, and learned some of the secrets of the island. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I couldn't let this experience go unshared. If you're headed to Santorini, let them craft your perfect day—you won’t be disappointed!
The real Santorini - insightful & friendly tour

5.00From the very start Roula was fantastic to deal with and explained and communicated everything very clearly and in the days prior ensured we knew exactly where to meet our tour guide and tailored the experience to our needs. The tour was perfect for us and they listened to our interests and brought us to some wonderful spots that weren't all on the main tourist trail so really felt like we got a sense of the real Santorini
The BEST tour!

5.00If you're thinking of booking this tour, the answer is yes!! 100% yes!! Roula and Katerina are such wonderful and amazing people! They are extremely knowledgeable, so very kind, and just a delight to spend time with. They both went above and beyond to make sure the short time we had in Santorini was well spent. We would 100% book with them again, such a pleasant and amazing value for our money.

5.00We enjoyed our tour with Katerina! She was wonderfully attentive to our interests, engaging, and informative! She provided additional recommendations on where to shop, eat, etc. It was nice to see Santorini's best with her guidance-we found ways to avoid the crowds, but still get some great insta-worthy pics! We loved lunch at 41. Thank you to Katerina for a lovely time!

5.00Husband and I just returned from trip to Greek islands Katerinas Golden tour was indeed one of our highlights of beautiful Santorini! She kept it personified and customized accordingly. Provided expert knowledge, history and fun to our day. Her expertise in wine growing and the geology of the islands was incredible. It’s wonderful now to have al new friend and highly recommend Golden Tours of Santorini! Brian and Denise, PA

5.00We visited the beautiful island of Santorini as a family in late August. Santorini Golden Tours was recommended to us by a taxi driver in Athens and we immediately contacted the company. Roula and Katerina met us at the port when we arrived in Santorini and welcomed us to the island. They took us to our hotel and we arranged a tour for the following day. Roula showed us many beautiful sites including Oia and Fira, churches, cafes and beaches. We watched the sunset at Akrotiri and had some delicious souvlaki at a nearby restaurant. Roula is a very knowledgable tour guide and you can sense the passion she has for the local culture. She went above and beyond to show us both the popular and hidden spots of Santorini, which we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own. This tour is a must!
