Hiden Gems Private Tour

Excellent tour with a personable driver/ guide.

Holiday mood tour hidden gems was lovely thanks to George. He was friendly, knowledgeable, informative. He comes highly recommended.

Did not realize bus ride would be as long as it was. Saw the island and had a good overview of it’s history.

This was a nice relaxing way to see the island of Santorini. Demetris, our driver, was kind and compassionate. He was also skillful at navigating tight parking and winding roads. We loved our stops at Pyrgos village and Black Beach. Our lunch was excellent. My sister has difficulty walking, and Demetris made sure that she was okay at all times. Thank you!

The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was enjoyable to travel with. He showed us sites that we hadn’t seen on the tour that we took the day before. We feel like we really got to see most of the island

Mario's picked us up from airport and he suggested he could provide a private tour for us. I discussed with his boss and came to an agreement for price and tour length. Excellent value for the money! Also Mario's was outstanding born and raised in Santorini so we had a very special tour with him. Mario's also suggested picture poses and was very happy to take beautiful pictures of us.best tour in Santorini

We had a wonderful experience working with this company. We were able to customize it to what we wanted to see and do. We also used them (Holiday Mood) for multiple transfers and they were very accommodating and flexible with us when making changes. Their communication was excellent and they even provided restaurant suggestions, which were great. Highly recommend!

Mario was our guide/driver and he is awesome! He was very professional and friendly, extra patience with the seniors and we enjoyed our time in Santorini with him very much.

Mario’s picked us up from our hotel and took us all around Santorini and sharing information about each place. He was brilliant and driving was perfect. He made it special. We enjoyed our tour tremendously and would recommend this company. We will definitely be using them when ever we come back to Santorini.

George made sure to take us to iconic sights in Santorini. He customized our tour to accommodate everything we wanted to see and do. It was comfortable, flexible and relaxing. The restaurant he recommended was superb too. Airport transfer was a breeze. Highly recommend!

Business owner George and his wife, Vicky, were wonderful guides! From the moment we arrived in Santorini, George took great care of us. He was always punctual and eager to show us around the island while sharing its culture and history. George is very knowledgeable about the area and seems to know everyone! He is honest, friendly, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini.

What a Lovely expérience!!! I book a transfert from the airport with george and the next day the 4h tour. Super service, very comfortable car, special mention to Marios my guide for the tour!!! Very profesional, friendly ( it s feel like i was with my friend) and very intesresting, he told me a lot of thing about the island and the people, i learn a lot of thing. Thanks you very much for that experience I highly recommend to engage Holiday Mood when visiting the island.

Wonderful private tour with excellent service. Very well organized, friendly guide, and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended!

George from Holiday Mood was a perfect guide for our visit in Santorini. Right from the pick up from the airport to providing us a very informative, friendly and private tour of the island, George was a great companion, more like a friend on tour with us. Not to mention a very comfortable car that George has, the entire experience was excellent. My family and I absolutely loved George’s service and we would highly recommend to engage him when visiting the island. George made a stunning island even more memorable. Thank you George !!!

We had an amazing experience on this private 5-hour tour in Santorini with George. He was not only professional and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the island. He took us to breathtaking viewpoints, charming villages, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. We also used George for private transportation. His vehicle was spotless, and the service felt smooth and reliable from start to finish What made our trip even better was his great food recommendations-he suggested fantastic local restaurants that offered some of the best meals we had during our trip. It truly felt like exploring Santorini with a local who cares about making your experience unforgettable. Highly recommend !!!!!!!

Our tour guide George was very good and took us to the beautiful places in Santorini. We enjoyed our tour of the island.

We took a half day tour around the island with Holiday Mood and also used them as transfer/taxi service to and from our hotel. She was helpful with planning our pick up time since we were on the ferry arriving that day. Marios was our driver. He was there to pick us up a few minutes early and stopped for us to get a bite to eat since we hadn’t had food since breakfast. He was a great driver and knew so much about the island. He asked about what we wanted to do and the best way to get it all done with the limited time since we also stopped for food. Holiday Mood was also quick to reply when we wanted transfer service and sent the license plate numbers which was helpful. All of the drivers we had were kind. I highly recommend Holiday Mood while in Santorini.

The tour operator was so understanding about our tendering delay and our driver and local guide, Mario, was wonderful. He gave us a comprehensive tour and we could not have been happier to have had us navigate the entire island!

We had 1/2 day, comprehensive tour. Peter was very personable, knowledgeable and open to make the experience ours. He took us to all the Island’s greatest sights, knowing the times when to avoid high tourist volumes. Highly recommend this tour.

A great tour with Marios , 5 hours in an extremely comfortable air conditioned van. A flexible tour where the importance is what you would like to see. Marios is well informed and a delightful and experienced driver. There were three of us all over the age of 65 and we all enjoyed it throughly.

The Van service is great!! Chris, the driver/guided took us to gorgeous places. 200% recommended!!!! George will manage everything for the best experience.

Our tour of Santorini was so much fun and informative! Marios showed us the best time, explained to us the history of Santorini and drove us to all of the places we wanted to see - plus he suggested a few on his own. It was an amazing and fun filled day! We all highly recommend Viator when booking a tour and request Marios when in Santorini! There was also an issue with seeing a winery that was supposed to be part of our tour - I reached out to Vasiliki, and he handled everything so professionally. We could not be happier!

Excellent in every way and flexible when we were delayed by late tenders from our cruise ship and a last minute port switch-they were awesome and picked us up!

The company went above-and-beyond! Our cruise ship had to change ports last minute and had delayed tender boats-they messaged me back right away and were super flexible with rescheduling our meeting place and time! Just incredible. The van fit all 6 of us comfortably, was brand new, with excellent AC and cold water waiting (we arrived during a heatwave), and was much appreciated. Our guide Mariel was prompt, warm, friendly, patient (4 kids), flexible, and asked us what we would like to do and see. We went from each village, to the highest overlook down to the beautiful beaches and caldera. We visited the museum, churches, shops, made a pit-stop at a delicious bakery for lunch and got to snap beautiful photos of all the famous landmarks and natural beauty spots around the island. He gave us a running commentary filled with historical and current facts about Santorini, just wonderful. He took incredible care of us and I would recommend this company and guide to anyone-especially families! No hassle, no driving, no parking headaches, no crowds, and all the flexibility for everyone to enjoy their day and fall in love with Santorini.

This tour company was extremely flexible with our ever changing cruise schedule. Our driver was extremely informative and nice!

A very good experience with the private tour. We could tell our guide where we wanted to go. We went early and beat the tour bus lines.

This tour was a great experience. Marios is very knowledgeable, courteous, and personable. Not only does he know the entire island well, he knows how to get around the various tours so that you are not stuck in huge lines ruining your experience. Because this was a private tour he was also flexible about adding or subtracting sights. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic day touring Santorini with our guide. He was very communicative, friendly and patient. He was also very flexible and accommodating with our needs/wants, and we saw so many beautiful sites. It was a lovely way to spend the day!

Erwin was a great guide and did a fantastic job showing us around the island. He took us to a great lunch spot seaside cafe.

Marious was a driver. He was fantastic. Took us to all the best places on the island. He made sure to avoid the crowds. You could tell how much passion he had for the island and the culture. Recommend very highly!

Mario did an excellent job showing us around the island. He was very nice and knowledgeable about the island.

George and his drivers are awesome! On time, polite, knowledgeable, safe, very friendly and funny!! Spoke English well! Everything you want in a transportation service! Chris and Mario were great drivers!

Anyone can drive you around to show you the wonderful sites on Santorini, but only George Pagias can bring the experience to the highest level. George regaled us with his charm and knowledge throughout the 6 hour tour. Before each stop he explained the history of the area in ancient times as well as present times. Every village came alive as he was welcomed in by all of his many friends and colleagues! He knows all of the authentic Greek tavernas - we could never have known without George. One taverna in particular served a beef filet that rivaled meals we have had a 2 Michelin star restaurants. George elevated our love of Greece and Santorini. And at each stop he was our own personal photographer! Some of our most favorite pictures were taken by George. George crafted a beautiful balance between driving and touring an area. 6 hours may sound like a lot of time - but it goes fast with George enchanting you throughout. Efcharisto!

Marios was very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. He let us go at our own pace, and talked to everyone in our group. He made a great recommendation for a lunch place at the end of our tour! He showed excellent hospitality to first timers to Santorini!

Friendly amazing good vibes knows everything i had one day gorge and 1 day petro thay are sus the best of the best. Comfortable cars drive in style. And thay take good photos of you while your scenic tour.. Thay are 👑

Fabulous private 1/2 day sightseeing tour. Our guide marios was excellent!Knowledgeable, friendly and an amazing photographer for my group of friends. We saw everything we wanted on Santorini in a lovely comfortable vehicle, even provided chilled waters for journey. The tour was flexible to our needs picked us up from hotel in Perissa and dropped us back no hassle at all. Would 100% recommend this company and this tour.

Fabulous private sightseeing tour of Santorini, lovely luxury car with driver/ guide Marios. He was knowledgeable, friendly and great photographer for my friends and I😂. We managed to see all the sights in comfort even providing cold waters. Would 100% recommend. Thanks for a lovely day.

Just the two of us and Phemis the guide and driver, a five-hour tour of all the highlights of Santorini. Really comfortable car, and Phemis helped us throughout (we’re quite old and there are lots of steps…). The trip was tailored for us, we decided how long to stay in each place, when to stop for refreshments. Overall a great experience for €55 an hour, good value, and great to go at our own pace without having to fit in with the fixed schedule of a larger group.

It was amazing country sightseeing. Santorini is mesmerizing. And more amazing was our dear tour guide and driver , Mr Manus, a really friendly guy taking pictures and all so entertaining. 5 stars to the company

There is nothing to say more about Santorini, a heaven in real as everyone already know. If you don’t wanna miss anything great thing about this greatest island that only local people knew the best, highly recommended Holiday mood Santorini. The owner and drivers from this service are so kind and nice. They never force you to spend money as many other services do. I feel they just wanna “show off” their beautiful island to the world with all their heart. Thank you for making our trip’s so great !

The views were amazing. Our tour guide George took us to the highlights of santorini and taught us lots on the history. He was also very helpful and even took photos for us.

Myself and my husband recently visited Santorini for my husbands 40th birthday. But honestly, what made it truly unforgettable trip was George and Vicky from Holiday Mood. George picked us up from the airport, and from that moment on, everything was just effortless. He's so helpful and professional, we ended up booking him for our entire stay, and I'm so glad we did. The island tour with George was a highlight. He showed us places we'd never have found on our own – hidden gems with breathtaking views. He clearly knows the island inside and out! Vicky, George's wife, a total star too. Together, they're the perfect team, making everything so easy and relaxed. They went above and beyond to make our trip amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. If you're going to Santorini, seriously, book with Holiday Mood. You won't be disappointed. We're already dreaming of our next trip back, and we'll definitely be using them again. Thanks again, George and Vicky for an unforgettable trip!

Me and my friend went to Santorini together and we are both 18 and were naturally quite nervous. We felt very at ease once we found this service. They were so friendly and helpful, giving great recommendations and advice. Timings were very flexible and booking was very easy. They went above and beyond for us and we felt very safe and comfortable

Started out with a couple of wine tastings which were very good! Then we were taken to a few different locations to check out the scenery and old towns in Santorini! The view from the highest peak was phenomenal and checking out the castle and learning about how old it was and it's history was nice to learn about. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared good conversation!

My fiance and I visited Santorini at the tail end of the tremor. George met us at the Ferry and took us on a tour two days later. Every step of the way he was there for us with essential advice...support and friendship. The tour itself was spectacular and fun and his enthusiasm and intelligence were indispensable.

Amazing views Had some best photos Mr george,our guide very professional Top man for the job and i would like to say a big thanks to him Recommended and affordable

Exceptional service & catered to all our requests. Super friendly & the whole experience was amazing! Will definitely pass on their info to all our family & friends.

Was the highlight of our 7 day cruise. Yiorgos was very thoughtful and helpful and we truly saw Santorini at its best. The transportation was very comfortable which helped overcome the chaos of dealing with the cable cars!

The most amazing service hands-down. George and his team did a phenomenal job providing excellent communication, kindness and hospitality. Whether it’s cancelled flights , plan flexibility or touring Santorini in detail, their service standard is exceptional!
