Book Stratos immediately - Explore the Island in one day with Stratos was absolutely amazing! Stratos was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were exploring the island with a friend. We visited all the must-see southern spots (per our request). — This was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Santorini! From the moment Stratos picked us up from the airport, the fabulous tone of our stay was set! Stratos shared stories and insights that brought the island’s history and culture to life. His laughter and sense of humor was contagious! Stratos-selfies are a must and such a wonderful way to remember to capture this MUST DO tour!!!

Fantastic and memorable experience - I booked a private tour because I have a 4 year old and worried about his behaviour as part of a group tour. I messaged Stratos in advance and asked if he could accommodate us and he was very swift with his reply and booked us in. He was very communicative on the lead up to our cruise arrival and was very accommodating with timings which could be different depending on how quickly we could get off the ship. Once on land he quickly met us at an easy to locate point and began our tour. He provided an amazing tailor made tour, highlighting the areas of interest people want to see, gave us free time in Oia, added in a stop at a winery for a glass with a view but my favourite was how he showed us the real local side if Santorini, driving us into local villages and even waving at his dad. My husband and I literally having stopped raving about Stratos and his tour since. I would and will be recommending him to any and everyone who visits santorini and wants a tailor made, initimate private tour or experience. His English is fantasic Great sense of humor Easy to chat with .... like a friend BOOK SANTORINI LOCAL GUIDES

Best way to see beautiful Santorini 💙 - My husband and I booked the Basic 4-hour Tour with Stratos of Santorini, and it was absolutely amazing! Stratos was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were exploring the island with a local friend. We visited all the must-see spots — Oia with its postcard-perfect whitewashed houses, Imerovigli with stunning caldera views, Firostefani and its famous Three Bells, the charming Pyrgos village on the hillside, the beautiful black sand beach of Perissa, and the fascinating ancient site of Akrotiri. Each stop was breathtaking, and Stratos shared stories and insights that brought the island’s history and culture to life. Santorini, you are absolutely beautiful — from your views to your people! We will definitely be back, and when we do, we’ll be booking with Stratos again without a doubt. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of Santorini with someone who truly loves and knows it.

Santorini in a day! - My family and I had an amazing time on this private tour. It was just the five of us in a private van with our tour guide Stratos… he was amazing. He picked us up at our villa and took us to all the amazing sites. He was super flexible and even took us to a pottery store that was out of the way for us to purchase authentic Santorini pottery… it was unfortunately raining on and off during our tour bet he got us as close as possible to sites… He dropped us back off at our villa at the end of the day… he is very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend him for all your Santorini tours!

Don't miss this tour - Fabulous we started out after a big breakfast so didn't have to stop for lunch. We hit 15 stops and covered the entire island. Estradiol was an amazing friendly guide. We highly recommend this tour.

What an incredible journey we were taken on from the moment we arrived in Santorini! From the hilltops to the beaches! - We could not have asked for a better host for our time spent on the island. We are so grateful and are looking forward to our return!

He tried to cancel my booking for no reason. Terrible driving, got car sick. Kept trying to end the tour early - He tried to cancel my booking for no reason a few days before the tour leaving me without enough time to book something else. I had to beg him not to cancel. Terrible driving on his part, I got car sick. He Kept trying to end the tour before 6 hr mark, asking if it’s okay if he dropped me off early. Nope, not okay. If you pay for 6 hours you want 6 hours. This wasn’t exactly cheap. I did see most of the highlights which is why I didn’t give one star. But honestly, save yourself the hassle and stress and book elsewhere.
