BEST TOUR EVER! - Katarina was the BEST tour guide we have ever had!! She owns the company. She skipped touristy lines and knew the best places for shopping and pictures and even took us to a great local restaurant and ate with us.. She took her time with us and spoke perfect English. We fell in love with her!

Great tour - A lovely morning spent at 2 different wineries , we had an array of different wines and also some cheese and nibbles at each winery which was a lovely touch. We also got a tour of each of the wineries and how the wine was made and all, overall, a really enjoyable few hours.

Santorini Island tour - Excellent tour. Katerina was such a good guide with deep insights and so passionate about the island and history. My husband and I would highly recommend them. They gave us a wonderful goodie bag at the end, full of home made treats. Treated like family! Thank you again

More than you're hoping for! Simply the best! - You ABSOLUTELY should book a tour with Santorini Golden Tours! We not only had an amazing time with Katerina and Roula, but our interactions with them even prior to our arrival made me certain that I had made the right choice. They are simply the best! They were immediately welcoming and accommodating -- going out of their way to help plan several parts of our visit, not just the tour. Then, when we finally met them, it was like seeing old friends. We hung out, saw amazing places, ate at local (non-touristy) restaurants, and had THE BEST TIME!
Do yourself a favor and book a tour with them. Your visit to Santorini will be better than you've dreamed!

Great tour- great guide! - We had an amazing time with our tour guide Katrina. It felt like we were experiencing the island with a friend. Her knowledge of the island is exceptional. She made the tour interesting, engaging and relaxing. I would thoroughly recommend this tour - you get to see and experience a lot in the 4 hour tour.
Thanks Katrina!

You will not regret booking with them!! - Katrina made this island visit the best. We visited Santorini on a cruise, so short on time. I wanted to book a private tour to make sure we could see as much as possible with the history of the town. Katrina delivered! We had a photographer booked before meeting with her and they did not take them where I thought we could. Katrina still came and picked us up and a different location than where we planned to meet. She definitely went above and beyond for us. We got to see all what we asked to see, plus so much more we had no idea about. We absolutely loved every minute. My son started to get hungry and she took us to a mom and pop restaurant that has the best gyros ever! The meat was the most flavorful I’ve had. I couldn’t say one negative thing about our time on the island. We truly enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much!

This was excellent value, with an amazing host - Simply outstanding, and the perfect way to see hidden treasures in Santorini, away from the masses coming off the cruise ships.
Katerina took us away from the very busy places, had wonderful local knowledge, amazing wine knowledge, and made us feel as if the 4 hour tour was based purely on what we wanted to see.
Could not recommend this experience any higher.

Best way to privately tour Santorini’s hidden gems - This was the best way to experience Santorini’s hidden gems that take you away from the thousands of tourists that flock here. Katerina our guide, was not only knowledgeable in all things Santorini, but her level of expertise in wine made it an unforgettable day. She was so kind to our children and made sure they felt included in the tour. We got to experience Santorini as locals—with an individualized day filled with spectacular views, quiet villages, a trip to the monastery, a winery, and best of all an intimate tour of Santorini’s only farm with a private farm/to-table lunch.
