One Day In Santorini From Cruise Ship: Ultimate Island Tour

A wonderful day with a wonderful guide. Stratos was the best in keeping in contact with us before the tour and making a great tour, even when we were late getting off of our ship! Once on the tour, he made sure we saw everything on Santorini and also made it so much fun! Thank you for a great day! Nancy and David

Stratos was very personable and made the experience amazing! We got to see all of Santorini including the black sand beach. I would definitely book this with Santorini Local Guides again.

Exploring Santorini with our driver Stratos is a good time! We saw a lot of what the island has to offer and he was on time and flexible to meet our needs. Highly recommend!

Stratos was exceptional! He showed us the highlights of Santorini and we had the best day! We went all over the island and he took photos for us the whole way. Don’t hesitate to book with him. We loved it!

I cannot say enough positive things about Stratos!! First off, his communication pre-tour was the BEST of anyone I found. I had many questions which he answered with utmost patience. Stratos knows so much about Santorini, customized our tour to our needs and offered terrific suggestions for the tour to be amazing. We had an unavoidable change in our arrival plan, but he figured out a solution and saved the day! We stopped at all of the iconic vistas plus more. Thank you Stratos! I hope to return one day and will be in touch!

Really felt like we got to see and learn about all of Santorini. Stratos is wonderful and took us to all the best destinations and beautiful locations.

We had a fantastic private tour of Santorini, Makis was our guide, a 5th generation local with a passion for sharing everything about Santorini. He knew all of the best places to go, see and take the best photos away from the huge amounts of tourists. I highly recommend Makis, he will make sure you have a fantastic time!

My wife and I had an amazing tour with the future Mayor of Santorini! Stravos tailored our tour to our desires, allowing us to see everything we wanted, and got us around the entire island pointing out sights and giving informative facts along with way. He stopped at three beaches each with different colors of sand, parking very close and allowing us time to take pictures and take in the beautiful views. He even gave us non tourist restaurants to choose from before dropping us off when the tour ended. 10/10 guide and tour!

i just enquired 2 days earlier about their services , they responded well and we had nice experience. we haven’t felt like we were in an unknown place instead felt comfortable and secured. 👍

Great experience with Stratos. Very friendly, knowledgeable and has a great attitude. Very flexible itinerary to meet whatever a visitor is interested in. Helped with photos, directions, food recommendations were solid. Was great at allowing us to have more time when needed and less when we wanted to move on.

Stratos was our guide and was so kind and wonderful, took us to many of the picturesque locations around Santorini and gave us a VIP experience! Would recommend!

We loved our day tour with Efstratios in beautiful Santorini! He took my husband and I to all of the villages that we wanted to see and even fit in a stop to Perissa Beach so we could see the pretty black sand. Thank you, Efstratios for a lovely day! 💙

Stratos was great host and tour guide. We Highly recommended Stratos for your next visit in Santorini. If you are not sure what to do or go, he will look after you.

Stratos is the future mayor of Santorini and he may as well be the current one. I highly recommend this company for your Santorini tour. It was the perfect blend between sitting back while a local expert handles all the decisions, and also being able to request anything else you want to add to the route. Everything felt fun, safe, thoughtful, and organized.

Stratos is an amazing guide: punctual, professional, charismatic with excellent knowledge of island/sightseeings/perfect spots. We spent the whole day with this charming guy and left the island full of positive energy, simply WOW photos (yes, Stratos is a professional photographer as well- multi talented gentleman) and definitely we will return to Santorini again. This guide knows exactly how to make you fall in love with beautiful Santorini 💙🤍

Efstratios was a great tour guide and we really enjoyed it. We saw almost all the island . Thank you and we will be back soon.

We had a fantastic tour with Stavros. From the organising and communication to the locations it was all wow!!! He is really a great guide and very knowledgable. A bonus is he takes you to the best locations for pictures and takes amazing photos too. Would recommend him to everyone! Wine tasting was a bonus for sure.

Our tour guide in Santorini was excellent. Knowledgeable and personable , he made our visit to Santorini quite enjoyable.

Stratos allowed us to visit Santorini despite the limited time we had since we were on a cruise. He was kind, friendly, and helpful with us and our children. He met us at the agreed-upon location in Fira and took us to see the iconic sights and more in his air-conditioned van. Without him, we wouldn't have seen many wonderful places and would certainly have been much hotter. He told us a lot about the island and its curiosities, and we saw more picturesque, less touristy areas. We're happy we took the tour with him! We couldn't have asked for better!

After signing up for the One Day in Santorini from Cruise Ship: Ultimate Island Tour, we had an amazing day in Santorini yesterday! Stratos was a very knowledgeable guide, and he was warm and engaging. We went all over the island in his air conditioned minivan—seeing sights such as the Mountain of Prophet Elias, Black Beach, Pyrgos Village, Oia, and Firustefani. He even shared his wine expertise with us at a beautiful winery where we were treated to cheese, cold cuts, and wine tasting. This was a truly rich experience and the perfect way to get to know a little about this beautiful island. Highly recommend.

The views were amazing. Stratos is such a great tour guide and caters to the whole family. We saw most of the island and several beaches. My teenager kids enjoyed it as well. @Santorini_local_guides

The beautiful island of Santorini. It would not have been possible to see as much as we did without our tour guide, Stratos. The love he has for Santorini and his work really shows. Don't look any further and book his tour, you will be so happy you did.

Stratos really made our day special, for our multi-generational group. He picked us up from the tender and safely navigated us to Firastefani. Three of us headed off on the hike to Oia, while he took our Abuelita sightseeing. We all met up in Oia for lunch and then had the pleasure of ending our day with wine tasting. What a fun filled and memorable day for all of us. Thank you, Stratos!

This was THE BEST tour we have EVER gone on!! Stratos was spectacular! Genuine and friendly. He made the day special tailoring the tour to our needs and wishes. Knows everything about Santorini and its history. Cannot recommend him or this specific tour, strongly enough! THANK YOU Stratos!

Are you ready to live an amazing tour around the highlights, best views, landscapes and winery tasting around Santorini with an excellent tour guide who was born in Santorini and makes you feel confident, pampered and additionally you'll have fun? Well, you should hire this tour and most importantly, this company. Quality is superb... Stratos (El Colado) is the best ever. Well dressed, very punctual and he's full of knowledge. Since he's lical, He knows the history of every single place we visited. Additionally, he's an expert in winery so he can give you a full lesson about it. They took me to one of the most important wineries in Santorini and cold taste around 5 different types of wines besides they had some snacks prepared for me. The price you pay is worthy for the service you get! I widely recommend this tour, service and tourist guide! It's a 5 star. Thanks "Colado" for this amazing day!!!

Absolutely the best experience you can have in Santorini. We had limited time on the Island, however Stratos managed to get us to all the top sites. Very professional, educational clean vehicle, reasonable priced and lastly easy on the eyes.

Wow! What an absolutely cracking way to see the island and taste some of its wines. Stratos was a brilliant host & guide with lots of interesting and informative stories and facts. Real fun - thanks.

My family and I were in Santorini for 3 days, and out of the 3 days, we booked with Stratos 2 days. One for a full day tour and another for a half day tour. We were in Greece for a total of 9 days but by far the farm to table lunch that Stratos took us on had THE BEST meal we’ve had in Greece. Kids were ages 12, 14, and 16 and loved every single food placed in front of them, not leaving anything on their/our plates!! Stratos is friendly, very responsive to communication, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable about the island. He took us to many beaches, villages, lookout points, and hidden gems of the island I know I wouldn’t have found it on my own! He made our family trip to Santorini an unforgettable one for sure!! He also offered airport pickup and drop off services which we gladly took him up on. His vehicle was clean, comfortable, and always ready with water just when we needed it. If we ever go back to Santorini, Stratos will sure be the one we will call on again!

The best tour guide I ever had, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience unforgettable. Knew all the best spots and made the tour fun and informative. Highly recommend!

The views were amazing, our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and sensitive to our needs and wishes! We all enjoyed the experience and the tour! Thank you Stratos! 🙏🏾💙

Me n my husband are on our Greece tour. We decided not to plan ahead but reach the place & then decide.. We met Statos by chance & were really lucky to have him as our guide. We were going to do one day tour but ended up doing two days amazing tour with him. Stratos being a history teacher & a local greek person had lot of information & we could get good understanding of greek culture & some history. We visited the best spots for photoes. We visited Prophet Elias Monastery, the red, black & moon beaches were amazing. Oia a picturesque town & beautiful sunset in Ia Magalohori & so much more. Straros is punctual & came with a nice & clean Audi. We felt very safe when he was driving as there are quite narrow roads & uphill driving. We loved the greek music he put in the car. He made our 2 days trip an unfergatable experience.

I never write reviews, but this is one of those time that everyone that is traveling to Santorini should get to experience that best of the best on this 4 hour tour. Stratos, right from the start had great commutation and English was very welcoming. Stratos was very accommodating to our need and we did not feel rush at all from the first meeting. the tour was very informative and the sights was amazing. The car was very clean and comfortable. I would really recommend this tour if your looking to get the most information out of Santorini and enjoy the local experience, with great sights. Thanks again Strato, you were amazing and We will be seeing you again.

Stratos was amazing. He listened to what we would like to see but made some suggestions as well. The whole day was amazing! It’s refreshing to be guided by a true local that understands the island and its history. If you are looking for a Private Tour then you have found the right place!

This was a wonderful excursion. The local guide was amazing and very informative, showed us many local areas that we would never have seen otherwise. Amazing, highly recommend!

We would highly recommend Santorini Local Guides for seeing the best of Santorini! Stratos was an amazing guide, taking us to see all the highlights and beautiful vista points. He was charismatic, very friendly and impressively knowledgeable about the island and its’ history. We could not have imagined a better experience, tour or guide. We would definitely recommend booking one of these tours and we cannot wait to return to Santorini so that we may experience this once again. What a great day!!

Another great afternoon in Stratos’ company. He really is extremely knowledgeable and fantastic company. He bespokes the tours to suit his customers rather than offering the same itinerary to everyone. We got to end our day with a traditional meze and raki meal at his ‘local’. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this business and look forward to one final trip with Stratos before we leave this stunningly beautiful island.

Having enjoyed our wine tasting trip with Stratos so much, we booked him again to show us more of Santorini. Another great afternoon ensued. The itinerary was styled to suit our specific requirements and Stratos’ accompanying commentary was uniquely informative. After many stops at key viewing points, the trip culminated in a delicious meze style early dinner at a truly authentic taverna that we would never have found on our own. We can’t recommend Stratos’ services highly enough and we look forward to our third trip out with him later in the week.

We had such an amazing afternoon. Stratos was very friendly, full of knowledge and catered to all our needs. We got to see the very best of the island and had such fun along the way. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

We did this tour today on the 7th October and it was fantastic. We saw so many things and Stratos was so knowledgable. I can’t recommend him highly enough. If we visit Santorini again we will definitely use Stratos!

Had a great tour with Stratos. A very likeable and entertaining guide. We have lots of great photos to remind us of the tour. Recommend him highly. From Alan

This is was the first time for my girlfriends visiting. Stratos took us around to all the best photo spots. If you’re looking for a custom, catered and fun day, then this is your tour!!

My best friend and I had a wonderful experience! Stratos provided us a detailed, informative tour. He provided first class service to all the popular tourist destinations, even a few we were not familiar with. Stratos, thank you for everything! I’ll be sure to book with you again soon 😉.

Stratos was amazing we had a wonderful day trip to Santorini and even better local lunch dining experience at his recommendation! Within in 4 hours on the island we visited : Pyrgos Village Prophet Elias Mountain Megalochori The heart of Santorini Santo Wines Firostefani 3bells Church of Fira Oia Anhydrous winery Monolithos Beach Got some amazing photos and plenty of laughter with Stratos sweet heart and good humor! Would love to return just for Stratos’ good energy! This was the best tour for us girls period!

An excellent way to view the Island. From pick up at the hotel to drop off, we had a wonderful tour. The service from our guide was superb. Stratos was very passionate and knowledgeable about his island. He shared his knowledge in an interesting and relaxed manner. We would highly recommend this tour with Stratos as he listened to what we wanted from the tour and then delivered. Thank you Julia and Alan

We had great experiences, service is amazing! Photographer and tour guide were very helpful and friendly! I am sure will be back to this tour again!

We had an early flight into Santorini and time to kill before we could check into our hotel. Makis was there to meet us at the airport and showed us a wonderful morning! We had a great time!

Had a fabulous day with Stratos, he was a one of the best tour guides I have ever used. Stratos personalised the tour by asking us what we had seen and what we wanted to see on the Island. We learnt so much about the islands history, its people and local customs, his passion and knowledge of the Island was evident. We had a great day and would highly recommend taking a tour with Stratos, only wish we could have done the wine tour as well !!

Our private tour of Santorini with Stratos was truly memorable. He was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, giving us an insider’s view of his beautiful homeland. The comfort of the car added to the experience, and Stratos’ attentiveness allowed us to drive right up to the island’s most stunning sites. We loved how easily we could communicate with him to spend more time at places that caught our interest. The ability to customize the tour on the go made it perfect for our needs. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a unique and personalized Santorini adventure!
