Our guide was amazing!! This was a perfect way to see the whole island with an insider. And he made great recommendations like adding a winery tour and visiting a monastery. I highly recommend it.

We had a most amazing private tour of Santorini and I highly recommend this option!! Our driver’s English was excellent and he shifted the tour focus quickly based on the types of questions asked. This was truly a personalized tour!! We were allowed time on our own to wander the town streets, have lunch at Seaside restaurant on the one of the black sand beaches (food was to DIE for!!!), perfectly balanced with time with our tour guide. He provided historic, current and geographic information of Santorini; as well as answering any questions we had of Santorini and Greece in general. A great way to see the entire island, which is so much bigger than you would realize otherwise.PrashanthMS

We (family of three) took this tour. Our guide was Apostolos. He did a wonderful job of taking us around the island. He was attentive to our requirements and took care of it well. Based on our food preference, he booked a lovely restaurant at the beach for lunch. The tour of the winery was wonderful. We spent enough time at the places of interest, it was not rushed. Overall we were very happy with the tour & the service provided. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personalised experience of SantoriniHeather_M

It was just myself and my daughter and we booked this tour at the last minute. We loved Gabriel and we felt very safe and comfortable throughout the whole tour. We were able to see and do everything we wanted and then some. We saw the island from end to end, did some shopping and learned so much from Gabriel. Just an all around unforgettable, great tour. Thank you Gabriel!
