A must do thing in Santorini! - George was absolutely phenomenal at showing us the island of Santorini! We were able to hit all of the must see spots on the island without difficulty because we booked an early morning tour time. Would highly recommend doing the first full day on the island to discover what you might want to revisit or visit because of the tour!

Aphrodite is the All Around Tour for Santorini - OMG Aphrodite was AMAZING!!!!!! She truly knows how to read her clients and their needs. We had one member of our party that wasn’t a speed walker and she made sure to maintain a good pace and added additional resting places. She managed to get us to all the sightseeing spots before all the tour buses arrived. She has an amazing personality and had us laughing the entire time. We wanted to go to the black sand beach and she made it happen and we still saw everything and had an amazing meal to boot. Our next stop on our cruise ship was Mykonos and we didn’t have any plans. She gave us a great suggestion to visit the beaches during our spot. We came to Santorini not knowing what to expect, but it was one of our favorite stops and Aphrodite was our favorite Greek. You will fall in love with her like we did. This was the best private tour ever!

TZavákns “George” our guide was THE best! Five Star tour! - TZavákns “George” was hands down the best guide I ever had! I can’t say enough great things about this tour and went up and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. I was traveling with my 75 year old mother and 8 year old daughter and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. We never felt rushed and made out feel so welcome. I felt as though he was a friend taking us on a tour around the island, not just a guide. The vehicle he picked us up in was an immaculately clean BMW sedan for the 3 of us with a/c blasting on a very hot day to make sure we were all comfortable in the car. He took us to all the incredible sights listed on the itinerary and even more! The highlights for us were village of Megalohori, Black Beach and the most incredible sunset on the top of the mountain at Prophet Elias Monastery. TZavákns “George” was so knowledgeable and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini whether it’s their first time or not. If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing Santorini Tour - This was the most amazing and comprehensive tour I've taken. Our driver George was waiting for us at the appointed time and location with a sign displaying my name. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He took great care of while we were on tour. George had bottled water waiting for us in his modern luxury vehicle. He showed us the entire island of Santorini, including the red sand beach and the black sand beach. When we had time to explore on our own, George checked in often to make sure we didn't get lost. Throughout the tour, he asked if we needed to stop for food or restroom breaks. His customer service was amazing. George treated us like his family who came to visit. This was the most amazing tour and I highly recommend George and this excursion.

Grand Tour, supreme service! - Excellent service and great attention from Kostas , since we were contacted by swore was clear, positive and always forthcoming ; already in the tour was MAGNIFICENT, we enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend it because although we traveled with 5 children (9,6,6,4,1) it was really very practical and the children were happy. They really must hire this tour. Great! Thank you Kostas for your good attitude and great service. To eat Savvas Popeye is delicious! Thank you all!
