Great day trip for the family - We had a wonderful tour with Aris. He brought us to the main attractions and provided us with clear and detailed explanations. Our family enjoyed the trip. I recommend this tour to families and for the elderly

Highlight of our trip! Wonderful, comprehensive tour with experienced and engaging guide - Absolutely fantastic experience! We only had 2 days in Santorini and without this tour, would not have seen or appreciated nearly half as much of the island. Our guide was informative, engaging and a pleasure to spend a few hours with. Traveling by car to the must-see sights was comfortable and well worth the money spent!

Like getting a tour from a funny and knowledgeable cousin! - What a warm, friendly and knowledgeable guide! Aris soon made us feel like family as he picked us up/dropped us off, opened doors, took our pictures and chatted amiably about this site or that historic spot. We visited everything from a beach to castle's remains, plus a bit of shopping while hearing about the past and present, the people and society. When we were hungry he steered us to a spot that had the tastiest gyros known to mankind. Parking is scarce on the island and Aris would drop us off close to a site and then find parking and meet us at an assigned spot thus keeping our walking to a modest amount - but I'm sure his was off the charts by the end. Highly recommended - and the only tour my wife made sure I reviewed!

Santorini Dream Tour - We really enjoyed our tour in Santorini. The guide was very knowledgeable and tailored our experience to our specific interests. He also acted as photographer by taking pictures of the two is us with our phones. Lunch was at a restaurant called Forty One. It was a great location right on the beach and the Santorini salad was awesome. I highly recommend this company!

Early tour stop at Oia - What a great not-to-be-missed tour. Our guide Taso was excellent, helpful and knowledgeable. We took the earliest tour and missed the crowds at Oia to see the blue domed church. Sun popped out just in time. Also went to an archaeological sight and the red sand beach.

Great, enjoyable and do it again - Awesome private tour. Tour was flexible and catered to our requirements with some advice from our guide. Speaking of our guide Tasos was very personable, friendly and informative. He really made the day trip a great success. My family would recommend for a private family outing. Especially ask for the local restaurant for lunch.

Five Star Private Tour in Santorini!! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an excellent full-day private tour with Cyclades Shine in Santorini! The car was spacious, spotless, and comfortable. Our driver was friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating, tailoring the day perfectly to our interests. A truly five-star experience from start to finish—highly recommend Cyclades Shine for anyone wanting to explore Santorini in comfort and style! This tour was a bargain compared to the price being charged for a similar excursion on our cruise ship. Top Notch tour!

Individualized attention - I would definitely recommend this company when you are traveling to Santorini and want personalized attention. This tour was all we had planned. We were in touch with Aris beforehand to plan the kinds of experiences we wanted - specifically Oia, Akotiri excavation, beach. We did an olive oil tasting and coordinated the times with him to fit with our tour. Aris was very informative and engaged and definitely added to our overall trip to Santorini. We had planned a brewery tasting and dinner at the Ftelos Brewery and in addition to the tour he was able to provide evening transportation which made it much easier for us.
