The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and we visited beautiful villages, amazing viewpoints, and unique beaches. The tour was well organized and relaxed, with plenty of time for photos and exploring. A perfect way to see the highlights of the island. Highly recommended!

An excellent way to see the whole island in half day. We didn’t feel rushed at all and loved the whole of it . We recommend it!
We had a great time exploring Santorini. The driver was friendly and professional, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and everything was well organized. A very nice way to see the island. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful tour of Santorini with Eleni! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the island. Her stories and local insights made the experience both fun and memorable. She also showed us beautiful spots we wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend Eleni if you want a great Santorini experience!
We had a wonderful time seeing all the highlights of Santorini. John was a great driver and tour guide. Being a local he was very knowledgeable about this beautiful island and knew the shortcuts on and out of busy parts like Oia. He even patiently and obligingly took our pictures at the best spots. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. Thank you John!
Excellent! John was on time, friendly, flexible, good suggestions..would recommend..van was clean with ac
Yanni (John) is a perfect gentleman and guide. We had a great tour of the island. He was happy to stop at the most scenic spots and always offered to take pictures of us. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and he helped make the day special. Yanni has our highest recommendation.
Hands down Helen is the BEST tour guide we could have hoped for. I’m so grateful my hotel arranged this tour for us. We are a family of 5, with 3 teenagers. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the island and how to get around Oia to find the best spots. She took family photos for us, got us waters and evens small gifts. I liked that she’s a cautious driver. We took a tour of the ancient city of Akrotiri, went to the highest point in Santorini and hung out at the black beach. She would dropped us off at the front to go park the van and picked us up when we were done. I forgot a bag in her van, and she came to my hotel to drop it off after another tour. I highly recommend this tour and Helen!
It was an excellent tour planned and organized by Helen for our family. It is a memorable one for all of us and Helen took care of us by showing all the places in Santorini island and clicked pictures for our family. She knows the spots and time very well and wasted no time and let us enjoy this beautiful island. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to go around the island in one day.
Helen took my extended family on a spectacular tour of Santorini. This tour took us to so many beautiful locations on this picturesque island. We arrived on a cruise ship so Helen met us at the top of the cable car ride in Thira. She also walked our group back to the cable car station at the end of the tour to ensure that we didn't get lost and miss the departure of our cruise ship at the end of the tour. We had a group of 11 with ages ranging from 18 to 86 and everyone enjoyed the tour. We all fit comfortably on a large van and this transported us all around the island to the many scenic spots on the itinerary. Helen, being a native of Santorini, knew the top spots for the best photos. Helen jumped in frequently to take our large group photos for us! We will have incredible memories from this family trip that we will always cherish. Thanks Helen! You're the best tour guide!
Our Santorini land tour was fantastic! From the stunning views in Oia and the peaceful Profitis Ilias Monastery to the fascinating ancient ruins of Akrotiri, every stop was amazing. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the day feel smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Santorini!
This tour was the perfect way to explore Santorini! From stunning views to charming guide was fantastic, and whole exeperience wqs smooth, and full local charm. Highly recommend !!
Our tour with Eleni was the highlight of our trip. Warm, professional, and deeply knowledgeable, she tailored the experience to our interests and showed us hidden gems beyond the usual tourist spots. The ride was comfortable, the car clean and cool, and Eleni made sure we had water and good company throughout. Perfect for couples, families, and anyone needing a more relaxed pace—Eleni truly made us feel the heart of Santorini
Absolutely fantastic! Helen was amazing and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time - taking us to all the best spots, perfect little short cuts to see beautiful parts of Santorini that you would otherwise miss. It was the highlight of our trip and we were so glad we decided to book this tour. We have two under 5s and this trip worked well for them too.
This was by far one of the best experiences our family had in Santorini. We would not have been able to see so much of the island without doing one of these tours. We were so happy to pick this company! Eleni, our driver spoke fluent English and gave us every bit of information about all the beautiful spots we went to. She recommended places to have lunch and the beach we went to the following day, which turned out to be a beautiful experience as well. We also had Luigi as our driver to the beach. Their vans are spotless, air conditioned, and on time. The best way to travel in a very busy island! Thank you Eleni for an unforgettable day!
The hotel recommended this tour for my family ( my boyfriend, my mother in law, and myself). We went in blind because we had only been in Santorini for 1-2 hrs before booking this tour last minute. The hotel provided us the license plate of the car and the time of the tour. Suddenly, the tour guide contacted us through whatsapp. Amazing method to personalize the experience. I had every information at the tip of my hands. Easy to communicate with them. Then, Helen( our tour guide) drove us around Red Beach, Black Beach, Oia, Monastery At the Highest Point of the Island, and several viewpoints. One of the nicest and memorable things she did was that she stayed in the car with my mother in law who was having a bad time because she was terrified of heights and hates the cold. Helen also knew the way around crowded lines for photo opportunities in Oia. She also bought us all water bottles and Baklava. She exceeded every expectation ever! Oh did I mention that she hold your bags and purses so that she can take your perfect picture with the blue domes? Lastly she also deviated her route for a bathroom break! Insane tour, amazing feel. You can tell she works in hospitality. She has than human connection not a tour guide that is just interested in the pay. She loves her job and we love her. If you’re looking for someone that accommodates your tour to all the family members and their different ages this is the tour for you!!
Our tour guide Eleni was amazing! Not only was she so knowledgeable, she was patient, kind and very accommodating! We got to see places we would not otherwise see ourselves.
Helen made our experience very comfortable and lovely. She showed and explained us every place with detail and we had a great time.
Our pickup location and time was easy. Our driver, Helene was there exactly on time. A couple of minutes early in fact. She provided us water bottles. Helene was very knowledgeable about all locations in Santorini. She showed us all sides of the island and took great photos of us in front of the famous sights. This van tour is something we will always remember. Professional, friendly, patient, great clean and safe van. We highly recommend this company and in particular this driver/guide.
It was really amazing the way Helen managed our tour of Santorini in the short available time. We covered most of the destinations with ample time to spend at each site. Helen is very passionate about her job and that reflects in the way she patiently provides all the info, historical significance and always adjusting to your needs. Her sense of photography is cherry on the cake and she was so kind to take our couple photographs without hesitation and with patience. Lots of Love Helen
This was our first trip in santorini. Everything was amazing since the time we arrived . I totally suggest you this short tour so you don't miss anything!!
This tour is well worth the money you see the whole island, it’s very informative and our guide was a pleasure to be with, excellent
Helen (Blue Moon Tours) was an outstanding guide. She’s very down to earth and she was a good driver. She’s from Santorini so she was already passionate about the island. She was able to transfer her knowledge about the island and Greece in general in a relatable way. She also took us to and from the airport. She was awesome.
One of the best time with you elini Thanks for your service We liked it . Am personally recomended ! for tour in santorni She knows bestest places in santorni kind hearted girl with good knowledge Thanks for everything
Had the best solo tour in Santorini with Elen! She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and showed me the most beautiful spots, including hidden gems away from the crowds. The views were stunning, and the sunset was unforgettable. Everything was perfectly planned, making my trip easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend Elen for solo travelers!
My daughter and I didn’t have concrete plans once we got to Santorini so when our hotel host suggested this half day tour; we jumped at the chance. Helen was prompt, her car was clean and comfortable; and she made us feel right at home. The tour was full of information, beautiful sites, photo ops, and a restaurant recommendation that was delicious! When we come back to Santorini, we will reach out to Helen.
We had an amazing time!Helen was very kind and helpful.She took us to the most breathtaking views of Santorini and we really enjoyed it.Can’t recommend it enough!!
Best Guide ever ! We learned sp many things about history and visited beautiful places. Very profesional and friendly. The tour guide took us at the most beautiful places all over the island. Highly recomended!
We booked the tour back in January. Eleni, our driver took us to a lot of mesmerising spots where the view was out if this world. Perfect for taking pictures, while at the same time learning interesting and fun information about the island. Definitely worth the while!
Review for Helen: Our tour guide Helen in Santorini was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, it was clear how deeply she loves the island, and that passion was contagious. Helen shared fascinating historical details and hidden gems of the island that we never would have discovered on our own. She took us to the stunning red and black beaches, where we were able to relax and take in the breathtaking views. But the highlight of the tour was the local restaurant she brought us to—a spot where only locals hang out. The food was incredible, and it was such a unique, authentic experience. Helen’s warmth, knowledge, and personal touch made the entire tour unforgettable. The best part is that there were hardly any people on the island. Highly recommend!
Helen was absolutely amazing! We were limited on time but had a very fun adventure! It was like having a tour guide and photographer all in one.
We had such an amazing time! Helen was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She was so helpful, showed us around everywhere and was a joy to talk to. She even took SEVERAL photos for us. Thank you so much for making our day in Santorini!
“We had an amazing experience booking our tour with this company! From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and our guide, Eleni, was simply fantastic! She explained everything in an engaging way and took us not only to the most famous sights of Santorini but also to hidden, breathtaking spots we would have never found on our own. We can’t recommend this tour enough! We will definitely be back!”
Eleni was an incredible driver for us throughout our time in Santorini! She gave us her card after our first ride with her and she continued to drive with us for our entire stay whenever we needed to go somewhere. She taught us a lot about Santorini which we really enjoyed!
The best part of our trip to Santorini it was the tour . We enjoyed amazing views met amazing people we did go EVERYWHERE we didn’t miss a thing about Santorini . As a family everyone was happy from oldest to the youngest member . This is a must do in Santorini island and you will never regret it !
A must for anyone visiting Santorini. The lovely Eleni was our chauffeur, knowledgeable guide and unofficial photographer. The tour took us through the marble streets of Oia as well as the more tranquil but equally breathtaking sites around the island. We finished with an optional wine tasting on the clifftops whilst watching the breathtaking sunset of Santorini. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Eleni. Lorraine and Steve.
What an amazing excursion we had with Eleni! She picked up us on time and we started out tour. She took us to some really beautiful places where we could take some amazing pictures! After visiting them we were also taken to the black beach on the south side and we could enjoy our swimming time and the lunch at a great restaurant. Eleni's information about the island was also very interesting, we could learn something. Her driving skills were also amazing! She could drive even through the narrowest streets we've ever seen. Thank you very much Eleni! It was a big pleasure! We'll definitely recommend you to our friends & family!
After one drive with her. We had all tours with her. Her heart is as beautiful as she is.I left my phone in car arranged by her. She came all the way to Fira to return my phone. I will recommend Blue Moon to all my friends who visit Santorini because of her. May God bless her with success and growth. GD@ India

We had a great time on this tour. Our ship arrived late, but our guide was very flexible and helpful. She rearranged our tour schedule to better fit our new schedule. Thank you!
Very beautiful trip through Santorini, accompanied by a knowledgeable and kind guide. She was capable of satisfying our requests always with a smile. Thanks for everything Helen!
I had a great private tour with Eleni. I got so many scenic view of Santorini and pictures that I will look back. I recommend this tour if you want to learn about and explore the beautiful Santorini island.
Helen is simply great! She is very knowledgeable and punctual. She quickly learned our preferences and modified the tour to our needs. She made sure we were able to see all the major attractions of Santorini without any hassle. She also knows all the best spots and as a cherry on top, she is an amazing photographer!
Very professional driver and I learned a lot from Satorini. Amazing experience with Eleni as a driver, very kind a available.
Firstly, our tour guide/operator Helen was fantastic. After completing the booking she contacted me to confirm the booking. She was attentive to our schedule and to show the highlights of Santorini. Helen provided exceptional information for Oia, giving us an understanding of the history and culture. Each location we visited, Fira, FiraStefani, and Pyrgos she provided the difference of each town/village and their significance. We also visited the Red + Black beach and have many memorable photos if our excursion. I would highly recommend this Private tour + if you get a chance to meet Helen you will nit be disappointed. We wish her all the success in her journey's as well.
Fantastic Santorini Tour! I had an amazing experience in Santorini. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip both fun and informative. We visited all the key spots like Oia and black sand beach, along with some hidden gems. Highly recommend for an unforgettable Santorini adventure!
I had a fantastic 3 hour tour with Helen! I was SO happy it worked out, because I had a free day on Santorini and really wanted to see as much as possible within my budget. Helen is a great driver and is extremely pleasant. I enjoyed her good company as she brought me to several hill towns, a beach and scenic sites. She’s also dropped me off at Santos Wine and waited for me, so I could enjoy the spectacular wines and view. I was thrilled with her excellent services as a private tour guide!
I have no idea where to begin with praising our tour guide’s (Helen) professionalism, friendliness, and incredible ability to navigate any and all complications. She was always readily available to communicate prior to and on the day of our planned excursion. Which as a result was very comforting and helped ease the stresses when navigating to the island from a cruise. Her warm personality made it extremely easy to want to befriend her. Helen has the vast knowledge that comes with being a true local and you can’t help but fall in love with the island of Santorini, with the way she speaks about it. Although our time there was short (due to it being an 8 hour cruise stop), Helen was able to briefly show us all the parts that make up Santorini and of course, she was able to take us to all the tourist “hot” spots that social media brags about… and some of which are extremely underrated in their beauty. Needless to say, when I come to Santorini again (for a much longer stay), there is no doubt in my mind that she is someone I would reach out to for guidance as well as the warm company.
