Five hour personalized private tour - Stavros was a personable and informative guide for our family of 5 adults. It was our last full day on Santorini and we spent 5 hours seeing all the sights before our flight. Akrotiri museum for an hour, the lighthouse, Megalochori and a traditional cave house, a photo stop at the 3 bells of Fira, ending with an hour in Oia. One end of the island to the other! We had seen the beaches from the water earlier in our trip, so we skipped the beach villages. He provided lots of great information along the way, too. As a history buff the only thing I would potentially do differently would be to take a separate day to go to Akrotiri in order to spend more time there, but for most of my family it was just enough. We would all do this tour again! Thanks, Stavros!

Santorini tour - We had an amazing 8-hour tour of Santorini with Kallisti Tours! It was exactly what we hoped for—we were able to visit all the places on our list, and everything ran so smoothly. Our guide, Theodore, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history and local insight along the way. He also helped taking nice photos. It really elevated the experience beyond just sightseeing. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island! This tour was the highlight of our trip to Santorini! Kallisti Tours helped us see everything we wanted in just one day, and it never felt rushed. Our guide, Theodore, was fantastic—so friendly and full of interesting facts about the island’s culture and history. It felt like having a local friend show us around. Definitely worth every minute. Thank you again for a memorable experience!

Great private tour experience on Santorini! - Theo was great! Really felt like we got to see a lot of the island! There were 8 of us and he had a nice big van to accommodate us all. We drove around to areas that the cruise ship excursions would never go to. So it was great that we got to see more than you would normally get to see on Santorini. Thanks again, highly recommend!

Six hour tour at Santorini - It was well paced for 6 hours and covered the Santorini island. We did not feel rushed and got adequate time at the Ia beach, red beach and black sand beach. Our guide Joanna was also knowledgeable.

Amazing Santorini - What a great day. Theo was an amazing and extremely informative tour guide. Being a born and bred local, he knows every last detail about this beautiful island. From the black sand beach to the monastery on the highest peak on the island I think we saw it all. The highlight for us was the stroll through the small and charming old village. I highly recommend this tour, and especially Theo as your guide to everyone!

Wonderful tour in Santorini - We scheduled a private tour with Kallisti Tours for our first full day in Santorini to give us the lay of the land and they didn't disappoint! Theo was extremely knowledgeable and curated the tour especially for our multi-generational family. We were able to spend longer in the areas we were most curious about, and he answered all of our questions while keeping us away from the crowds. We ended the day at the best gyro spot in the area!

One of the best tours ever! - One of the best experiences. Despite having to start later, due to having to disembark the ship later than expected, the tour was incredible. Theo was absolutely the best. Given the limited time we had, he made sure to show us the sights that were a must, was our "pro photographer" and truly made sure we enjoyed the tour. We had reservation to a restaurant and even called for us to ensure we were on time with a good table for the view of the sunset. I cannot wait to return to Santorini for more days and explore the beautiful island.
