What To Expect
Imerovigli
Your early wake-up call will be richly rewarded as we begin the day at our secret observation point in Imerovigli, often called the balcony of the Aegean. Here, perched atop the cliffs beside a serene blue-domed chapel, you’ll enjoy a rare double panoramic view—eastward to the rising sun and westward over the caldera. As the sky transforms with the soft hues of dawn, take in the peaceful majesty of Santorini awakening. Your guide will prepare a traditional Greek coffee (or a warm tea, if you prefer), accompanied by loukoumia, a sweet local delicacy that pairs perfectly with your morning cup. There’s truly no better way to begin your day than with this serene and breathtaking moment.
Oia
Next, we make our way to the world-famous village of Oia, one of the most photographed locations on the planet. While this picturesque village typically draws thousands of visitors daily, arriving in the early morning allows you to experience its tranquil, authentic charm. Stroll through its enchanting narrow paths, admire the iconic blue-domed chapels, and take in the whitewashed homes carved into the volcanic rock—without the usual crowds. Enjoy ample time to capture postcard-perfect images and absorb the quiet beauty around you.

5.00My private Tourguide named Georg was very very friendly, communicative, helpful, kind! His knowledge about Santorini and the History about it was very good and with the passion how he was talking about it was taking you away! It was really good Tour, especially in the morning. The Hotspots was almost empty and it was fun to see all the beauty about the island. Big Thank you an Georg about the awesome time spend with him! I will never forget it! Kind Regards, Pres

Magical sunrise tour of Santorini

5.00I had the most wonderful experience on my private Santorini sunrise tour. I wanted to avoid the crowds and have a more relaxed and peaceful tour of the island. This tour certainly achieved that. George was an exceptional tour guide. As a solo female traveller he made me feel very comfortable and it was a joy to spend time with him. George took me to Imerovigli to watch the most spectacular sunrise. It was the perfect start to the tour and a moment I will never forget. A tour of Oia followed with the added bonus of George knowing all the best viewpoints. We also visited Thira and Pyrgos for more picture perfect moments. George was the perfect guide and helped make this experience very special. The sunrise tour was magical and I thoroughly recommend it.
Tour to beat all others

5.00Having that personal touch of everything organised for you was wonderful. The sunrise from the highest point of the island drinking Greek coffee was spectacular . Onto the best bit the blue dome roof tops. The hairs on my arms stood on end. We were there by 7.30am and was getting busy then. The shops were closed although cafes had started to open. The views were out of this world. Across the water ships were coming in to anchor . We stopped for a Greek breakfast in a quaint town , seeing donkeys carry water up a hill. Cats sleeping seeing the pace of life at a snails pace. Just coming for this made our holiday. Then up to the monastery, a working one with 7 monks. Very spiritual . Over all tour was brilliant and Ares was very knowledgable .
Amazing Sunrise Experience!

5.00We had the most beautiful tour this morning with Jerry (George). He was so knowledgeable about the island and the history. We thoroughly enjoyed him as our guide. We started by watching the beautiful sunrise over Santorini! It was amazing! We then went to Oia it was peaceful in the morning. Onto Fifra with views of the Cauldron, mthen uptown the highest point where there is a monastery. What amazing view of the whole island. We finally ended our morning with a wonderful Greek breakfast in Pyrgos! What an amazing tour with our great guide Jerry.
Very worth while tour beating the crowds and the heat!

5.00Jerron was our tour guide for this trip. He was very polite and informative. The whole trip was very relaxed and enjoyable. Greek Coffee with Turkish Delight while watching the sun rise was a lovely experience. Discovering all the main tourist attractions of the area before the crowds and the heat of the sun was perfect. Finishing with a lovely breakfast was the icing on the cake. We were really glad to have found this tour as it suited us perfectly. If you don’t like crowds and the mid day sun it is definitely the best option. Thank you Jerron for being a great guide,

5.00Great tour! Very much enjoyed the ride & seeing the sights with Kouroutis Fotios. He was an excellent guide, very accommodating, and even spent some extra time with us to make sure we had a fantastic experience.

5.00My friend and I had a wonderful tour with Xeno in May 2024. He was so kind and showed us very unique places throughout Santorini and made sure we weren’t stuck waiting in crowded places. He was truly one of the most pleasant and caring people we encountered throughout our 2 week trip in Greece. We were sad when our tour ended, because we had such a lovely time getting to know him and the island better. I highly, highly recommend this tour or any to tour with this company. My friend and I also had Mike the next day for the Santorini wine tasting tour and he was just as kind and pleasant.
