Beautiful Santorini! - George was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable and made us feel like a part of his family. We had the best time on Santorini and saw all the most beautiful sights. We would not hesitate to recommend George as a tour guide and we hope to see him again in the future!

Private Best of Santorini tour - We took a private two person tour of Santorini with Dimitrios. We visited Oia where the blue dome churches are along with the beautiful homes and streets are lined with bougainvillea’s. We went by Fira, then to black sand beach, go put your feet in it’s divine. Then off to Red Sea beach which got its color from the red lava rock. We went across town to one of the oldest working monasteries where nine monks still live there today. Our guide was wonderful and made our trip very pleasurable.

Take this tour. Ask for Thomas as your guide! - This trip definitely did not disappoint. We were a group of 6 (3 couples), and our guide Thomas was the absolute best. He was very knowledgeable, super friendly, and he was flexible about prioritizing the things we wanted to do most and where we spent our time. This was great to have our own private group and personal guide/friend for the day. He was great about communicating before and even after the trip (one of us left our phone in his van without knowing, and he returned it). Highly recommend this, and highly recommend Thomas if he is available.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Santorini Experience! - Here’s a review you can use for the tour:
Our private sightseeing tour with Aphrodite was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, she made sure we experienced the best of Santorini’s highlights. We were able to visit all the must-see spots, including breathtaking views of Oia, the iconic Blue Domes, and the stunning caldera. Aphrodite’s knowledge of the island’s history and culture added so much depth to the experience. She was also very accommodating, ensuring we had plenty of time at each stop for photos and exploration. If you’re visiting Santorini and want a personalized, unforgettable experience, this tour is a must! Highly recommend!

Discovering Santorini’s Soul - Our guided tour of Santorini was absolutely amazing! From stunning views and breathtaking photo opportunities to rich historical insights, every moment was memorable. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating details about the island’s culture and landmarks. We even had time to explore on our own, which made the experience feel perfectly paced. A highlight was visiting a local bakery, where we tasted authentic, freshly made treats. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a well-rounded, unforgettable Santorini experience!

Santorini highlites with Viator/Thomas - This tour is very good but the crowded areas with enormous number of tourists made it very difficult to take pictures. Our tour guide Thomas took us to iconic sites less crowded. He did an excellent job with his English communication skills. Our group felt rushed with his narrative and because of our very short time on the island. Thomas is very informative with Greece/ Santorini history. Will recommend Viator to family and friends.

Santorini with Thomas and Friends Oct 2024 - Santorini is beautiful but the short time we had and with the enormous number of people made it a challenge especially in taking photos of the blue dome. Our tour guide Thomas Michalios took us to iconic sites that was less crowded. He was very good in his English speaking but we felt very rushed overall. Nonetheless, we had a good experience given the short port time. Would have like to have a longer time on the island. Will highly recommend Viator to family and Friends.
