Michael is the BEST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had the most amazing day with Michael. He was so patient with us when we had issues getting off our ship. He knew all the local spots for pictures without the crowds, and gave us so much information about the island. We took private tours in several cities, and Michael was by far our favorite guide. I can’t recommend him enough.

what a wonderful day in Santorini - My friends and I a wonderful day with Theodore. After a glitch where our group from the ship was dropped off at tge wrong location because of incorrect printed directoons grom my internet copy of the tour, we got to meet Theodore who was patiently waiting for us. Theodore took us in a very detsiled tour of beautiful Santori, pointed out so many sites and told us so much about climate and living on his island. we stopped for delicious greek pastries, tasted Greek wines and saw how cherry tomatoes grew on this arid island as well as seeing the spectacular architecture and blue domes! This tour was so exceptionally worth out timeband money. Thank you Theidore of Kallisti Tours.

Santorini's best in 4 hrs - From the moment we met, we realized that we're in good hands, was able to fully relax and enjoy Santorini's very best, although the time was (sadly) very limited. Our tour guide Michael presented local facts in condensed and interesting way, took us to best photo spots and took nice pics too.
