What To Expect
Oia
Begin your tour in Oia, which has earned Santorini its star fame and made countless people fall in love - and explore it with a local who knows its hidden stories, how to beat the crowds and get you those photo-ops and nice souvenirs without any “tourist traps”. Cycladic architecture at its finest: lovely whitewashed houses, cave homes, captains’ mansions, blue-domed churches, bougainvillea in full color.
Firostefani
Adding to that is Firostefani: with its winning central location, the Three Bells viewpoint offers you a closer perspective at the whole shape of the caldera and the younger volcanic islets in the middle, as well as an amazing guide-book cover shot.

5.00We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Daniel. We experienced delays in getting off of our cruise ship and he stayed in close communication with our group to ensure we could meet him as soon as we were able to get off tne ship. He also made adjustments to the tour to enhance our experience for the time we had remaining by the time we arrived. He shared quite a a bit of history about the city and took our group to multiple areas that allowed us to enjoy the city but also avoid heavy crowds. Would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Maria was our tour guide and did an excellent job of showing us Santorini! We were able to see many of the sites traveling through less busy alleyways to get where we needed and in the shade. Maria learned of our love and wine and we went to a fabulous family winery named Art Space. Fabulous Santorini wine and beautiful artwork!

5.00Excellent tour! Sakis is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. He provided lots of history and personal touches as he drove us around the island. From great photo opportunities to delicious food recommendations, this tour can't be beat. Thank you, Sakis!

5.00Guide Nicholas was the best! We signed up for a "small group" tour and ended up with a private guided tour by Nicholas, chauffeured all over the entire island of Santorini. He was very accommodating, incorporating sights we wanted to see, along with others we knew nothing about. The day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
