Private Tour of Santorini - Michael picked us up in Fira after we took the cable car up. We saw everything we wanted to see in Santorini. Since we only had 6 hours with him, he helped us prioritize what to see to make the most of our time. He spoke excellent English and provided us with an amazing amount of history/info during our time with him. He even arranged for a wine tasting, which we really enjoyed. This was well worth every penny we spent!

Very appreciative of having Notis as our tour guide and driver. Comfortable a/c van too! - NCL kept switching the port of call, first from the Fira port to the Athinios Ferry port, then last minute switched back to Fira port. We arrived at 9:30am, not knowing the port had been changed. We used the local people's phone to call, as we could not call from our phone. We were told the driver was waiting at the top of the cable car. I texted to the driver that the cable car line was very long and didn't know what time to meet him. He responded that he would wait at the entrance for us. We finally met him at 11:30am, 1 1/2 hr late. Notis, our driver & tour guide was wonderful! He took us to the best scenic highlights to take photos. He was an excellent photographer too, taking our couple & group photos for us! He also took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. The tour covers a lot of places & we took a lot of beautiful photos of Santorini! He compensated our lost time by extending the tour to 5:30pm! In addition to the beautiful sceneries, we visited the cave houses, the black sand beach and the red sand beach, etc. What a bonus he gave us! He is going to retire soon! Happy retirement to you, Notis!

Well worth the money for a private tour - Driver was fantastic. He zipped us around in a nice Mercedes. Ate at restaurant 42. Highly recommend.
Driver knew how to avoid the crowds. Ended at a spot high on a hill to watch the sunset. Beautiful.

Another excellent Viator tour, with great tour guide - As usual we booked this tour before we went based on our expiances with Viator in the countries. The tour guide (Nicolas) was really good, flexible, altering the route to avoid the crowds in tourist spots and resteraunts. Nicolas's English was good and gave us a good overview of Santorini. The tour was un-hurried and we had adequate time at each location including tourist spots, resteraunt and photo stops

Warm and flexible - It can be stressful trying to find the best tour to meet as many needs and wants to satisfy my family. At a certain point all the details and options can be overwhelming and there are so many choices but my time was rewarded when I booked with "I go Hellas". There's a list of adjectives to describe him but the most useful are that he's warm and flexible. When on a private tour you want to have someone who is personable as you'll be spending 6+ hours with each other. We listened to his recommendation and did our quick touristy/Instagram photos in Oia which is too small for the amount of tourists who arrive daily. We skipped a few stops because we elected to stay at the black sand beach. I've learned my lesson in the past not to over schedule yourself while on vacation. I enjoy adventure and activities but you have to allow yourself to enjoy yourself. We spent and extra hour at the beach and allowed the children to swim. I enjoyed the customization and the comfort of being in his Mercedes Sedan. When you're ready to leave you leave and when it's hot I can sit in the front and feel the AC. Ioannis was a great host and I may have lucked into one of the better tour guides on the island. Every stop we went people were greeting him with warm smiles. Save yourself the stress of planning and leave it up to this group to provide you a great value and fond memories.

Blue domes , shopping and sunset in Oia - Great tour! . Our driver Nikos made some wonderful suggestions of places to see. We visited the mountain top monastery, the red, black and white beaches, the blue domes, shopping and sunset in Oia. The Santo winery was very picturesque and a great place to rest and enjoy a glass of wine and a charcuterie. Then he dropped us at a restaurant for dinner. Great way to get around a fairly large island.
