We did an full day private tour with Theodor with Kallisti Private Tours. Theodor was incredibly knowledgeable, polite and helpful. He showed us Santorini from end to end and bottom to top. He took us to a wonderful restaurant (The Good Heart) for an authentic Greek lunch and to a small winery (Art Space Cultural Center-Museum-Winery) and a tour with the owner. My wife and I had been to Santorini once before and now realize how little of the island we had seen. Theodor made this an amazing tour and receives our highest recommendation.
