      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.

      Wonderful tour with Thomas
      We had a wonderful half day tour with Thomas. The covered all the places on our wish list in Santorini and Thomas went above and beyond. He proved great information and made us laugh throughout the tour. We loved the local activity recommendations including a perfect lunch. We highly recommend taking the tour with Thomas. Perfect!

      Take this trip. Ask for Thomas!
      This was an awesome trip. Thomas was our guide and he was great. He arrived early and waited patiently until our group was ready. He gave us all information and options and customized the tour based on our order of priorities. When he dropped us off afterwards he found my sister’s phone in the van and returned it to her. She didn’t even know she left it. We were a group of 6 and Thomas was like the 7th member of our group of friends and family. We were totally comfortable with him from the first moment. He took lots of pics for us so we could all be in together. Good photographer and also a great driver, which is a big deal bc the traffic and roads here can be kinda scary. Highly recommend this trip. Highly recommend Thomas, if he’s available.

      Excellent!
      George was an excellent private tour guide for myself and two of my friends while we visited Santorini in September 2024. He took us to all the top sites and was very flexible in what we wanted to do. He was very knowledgeable about the area and accommodating with such a friendly personality! Highly recommend!

      Santorini day tour
      Aphrodite was very nice and knowledgeable about the history of Greek mythology and the local terrain. She took us around and made sure to cover all the highlights of Santorini. I had a good time with my sister.

      An amazing day in Santorini with Thomas
      What an amazing way to start off our first cruise port. We lucked up and got Thomas M. as our driver and guide. He was FABULOUS!!! What a great historian and driver. He made it fun and educational. He also to us to his favorite ice cream spot on the island and it was delicious. Be sure to wear flat and comfy shoes. Some minor uphill terrain. This was the perfect time to go. Not too hot. No line at the cablecar. Thanks Thomas. If we come back, we'll find you. You rock!

      Wonderful experience
      Great experience. The staff was very accommodating to our needs before we even started the tour. Thomas, our guide was great, full of energy and knowledge. He never rushed us and we spent time on the places we liked. Show us some beautiful views. Thomas, listen to what we wanted and took us to a great restaurant. Would definitely recommend this tour and him as a guide.

      Santorini was a breeze with Aphrodite
      Aphrodite was an AMAZING guide. We went with our two young kids, she was super patient and so helpful. We had her for 3 days and she was just part of our family. We had to change our plans a bit because of our flight timings and she accommodated so well. During the day, she suggested many nice restaurants, stopped for breaks (kids were hungry, optty, etc ) and dropped us back to the hotel (Oia). Super trustable and reliable. Highly recommend.

      Great Private Tour!
      Our group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our Private Santorini Tour. Our tour guide was Kostas. He is a local resident with great knowledge of the island’s history, its hidden gems, and has a wonderful sense of humor. Kostas adjusted his schedule to accommodate our early arrival to the island. His Mercedes Benz vehicle was immaculate and had plenty of room for our group of 9 adults. Our 3 hour tour lasted for 5 1/2 hours. In addition to our planned itinerary, Kostas took us to restaurant at a beautiful beach, where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch, and also to an island cave home. We had a wonderful day. We couldn’t have asked more anything more. Thanks Kostas!

    Babis was our driver and tour guide and we couldn’t be happier with his services. He was very helpful and patient for the entire trip and showed us all the main attraction as well as a great history lesson about Santorini including his personal experiences as a local. He drew inspirational hand written maps and sent us links to help us navigate the busy hot spots. Excellent experience we would highly recommend.
