Reliable transfers/great private tour - Great experience in Santorini with Nikos at Santo Luxury Escape! Professional, on time, and fun to spend the day with ! He handled our transfers both to and from the airport with an early departure. We also did the 4 hour private tour. We got in EIGHT stops thanks to the time of year with less crowds and traffic. Highly recommend. Book with him directly on his website!

Great day!!! - Our family booked a full day exploring Santorini with Nikos. We had such a good time. Nikos grew up in Santorini and knows the island well. He took us all around showing us different sights and places. Nikos was so accommodating. If you’re looking for a tour, do not hesitate and book now. Thank you Nikos for the memories ❤️❤️❤️ Sincerely Carolyn

Enjoyable tour and easy, comfortable transfers - We had such a wonderful experience on our tour with Santo Luxury Escape! Right off the bat, our guide Nikos made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. His English is excellent, which made everything easy to follow; but it was his kindness, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm that really stood out to us. He knew all the hidden gems and the best spots for photos, and made sure we had time to enjoy ourselves without ever feeling rushed. We loved being able to see different spots on the island and experience it a little bit more authentically, and were able to reach places we couldn’t have seen on our own. We booked all of our transfers while in Santorini with this company as well, as we were so impressed with them! We would recommend Santo Luxury Escape to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Santorini.

Highly recommend- one of the highlights of our trip! - We had arranged for Nikos to tour us around the island on our first day! It was such a wonderful experience! This was a mother / daughter trip and we wanted to tour the island with private transportation so that we would feel more comfortable getting around on the remaining days we were in Santorini. Nikos took us to the locations we wanted to see (Oia, black beach, wine tour and other scenic locations). Highly recommend as this was one of the best days of our trip. We also arranged to have transportation to ferry on our last day. Booking through Nikos was much less expensive than arranging transportation through our hotel. When we return to Santorini we will definitely book again!!

Awesome authentic Greek tour! - Girls trip! Our guide George was awesome! He took us to all the right places for awesome photos of Santorini blue domes. He made sure we had an authentic Greek lunch with a local off the tourist path restaurant. He went over and beyond what a typical tour guide would do. We would highly recommend Santo’s Luxury Tours, and would use them again if we ever get to go back! Thanks for the memories George!

Best tour and tour guide. - We had the best day exploring Santorini. George was the absolute best. He knew all the ins and outs of the island and even gave us cold water ,fresh squeezed juice, and the most yummy Greek treats. He made sure we saw all the sights and avoided all the big tour group traffic. He brought us to a great family restaurant and they served us an authentic Greek meal, it was hands down, one of the best meals I have ever ate. He also took us to the best shopping places and we saved lots on the items we purchased. Best tour ever!

Spectacular Iconic Day in Santorini - We had the most amazing day in Santorini with Santos Luxury Escape! Our group of 12 (4 families with teens) explored all the iconic spots in a comfy luxury vehicle, our guide found locations where we could take amazing photos without the crowds, enjoyed a refreshing black sand beach swim, and had a delicious and unforgettable lunch featuring delicious local cuisine. Every detail was perfectly planned and handled with such care, making the entire experience smooth, comfortable, and beyond memorable. Santos Luxury Escape truly made all our Santorini wishes come true. If you’re in Santorini, definitely book a private tour with them—it’s the absolute best way to see this magical island!

Splendid Santorini!!! - We were on Santorini, very briefly, a year ago with very little time to explore on our own. Booking a (custom) tour with Nikos was the best decision we made for this trip. His knowledge of the Island made our tour significantly better than we could have done on our own, again. Strongly recommend Santo Luxury Escape and Nikos for anyone seeking g a quality personal tour of the island.
