My group had the chance the island of santorini with igohellas in a private guided 8-hour tour. Our guide and driver Mr Ioannis was absolutely fine. We enjoyed a lot with his funny stories about the local history and culture. He took us to the best iconic spots of the island! Highly recommended!

Itinerary
Visit Imerovigli, the highest village on the caldera, to enjoy breathtaking volcano views and one of Santorini’s most spectacular photo stops.
Discover the famous town of Oia, nestled in the hillsides. Oia is unique in every way with iconic blue domed churches, scenic pathways, stunning views of the caldera and the most spectacular sunset.
Admire the panoramic view of the island at highest spot of it - at the mountain of Prophet Ilias -2.000 feet (600 meters) above sea level.
Visit the unique Red Beach and get a glimpse of the red volcanic rocks. These rocks were created by geological formation processes that are still active.
Explore the village of Megalochori, which has been characterized as one of the most picturesque and traditional villages of the island. Historical mansions, restored houses and pirate hideaways are the top preserved features of this settlement.
Akrotiri Archaeological Site is one of the most significant prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. Akrotiri had once been a major city before it was covered in ash by volcanic eruptions. Luckily, the ash has preserved structures and their contents, allowing us to admire this wonder of antiquity.
Take the chance to swim at the dazzling crystal clear waters of the famous Black Beach (also known as Perivolos or Perissa). This seaside area actually forms the tip of the long black sand beach of Perivolos and is, without a doubt, the busiest and most remarkable beach of Santorini. Enjoy the spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and the nearby islands, as well as an optional lunch at a seaside restaurant.
It's time to taste and enjoy the famous local wine varieties of Santorini by visiting the biggest winery of the island with the best view.

That was a beautiful comeback to Santorini island! This full day tour with Janis gave us the chance to explore all the highlights of Santorini and many secret gems like the heart of Santorini and the windmills of Emporio village at the south of the island. The winery was great and the restaurant 41 in Pericles beach as well! See you soon!
My wife and I, along with another couple booked the tour for our cruise stop in Santorini. Our Guide was on time, knowledgeable, personable and took us everywhere we had asked to go, even the monastery so my wife could obtain another bottle of olive oil! He explained the best way to explore Oia, dropped us off to wander through the streets and met us when finished. He brought us to a wonderful outside restaurant he suggested for lunch on the black sand beach, and to a winery he suggested for a tasting and tour. We paid for an all day tour and we got an all day tour, a full 8 hours with our guide! We highly recommend this way to explore Santorini. It was a wonderful and worthwhile experience, well worth the cost.
This was a must do while on Santorini! We got most of the places we wanted to see and had great fun with this full day experience! Besides the iconic oía, we loved the mountain top and the three bells! Very flexible and accommodative guide! Highly recommended!
What a day! We began in Oia before the crowds arrived and were able to take pictures and enjoy the Blue Domes without a crush of visitors. Onto the highest points in the Island the Monastery towns the Red Beach and Black Beach where we enjoyed a lunch by the sea. Finished with a winery tour! Bill our guide was perfect in all respects knowledgeable helpful hints answered our many questions. One GREAT Guide! Highly recommend this experience if you want to see as much of Santorini as possible in a day!
Had a wonderful time. Friendly people and very professional guide and drivers. They make our Santorini experience wonderful.
Our private day tour in Santorini was awesome! I would like to notice the professionalism and the kind chara
Ian was very patient with our big family! He was very knowledgeable of Santorini island. He really loves his job and his island and that is reflected in his work. We will definitely call Ian when we visit Santorini again in the future.
We had an excellent day! Giannis is the best guide and he knows everything about Santorini! We got to see beautiful sceneries that no one else knew about!!We would definitely come back!
Yanis was our guide and it was excellent We went to the whole island explaing the culture and life of the people in the island
The best tour of the island with the best driver Ian ,who is the owner of the agency as well ! We visited places that we never thought existed ! Wish to come back again !
I loved this tour, Ian was very kind to me, he guided me at all times, I feel totally happy with this wonderful experience that I lived on my trip to Santorini, the culture and the beautiful places I met, My favorite place was Oia, it really was the most magical place I have ever known, I thank Ian who guided me on this tour, I was able to appreciate a little more the places and the culture that is lived in Santorini.
I have never left a negative review anywhere before. Unfortunately this time I feel like I have no choice. The so called tour was just driving us to the specified locations. The driver/guide would just point to where we should go and wouldn’t even come out of his vehicle. There were no facts, commentaries or even conversation to be had with the “ guide “. The few answers that we did get was when one of us would initiate the question. Just FYI, We saw many private small group tours like ours. All of their drivers would walk with them to the sites and would give some fun facts. So please do some research before hiring a driver/tour, cause we could of easily just gotten a cab for a lot less money.
Giannis, was fantastic, although the weather was rainy and overcasted that did not take away from the amazing experience we had. Thank you Giannis!
Great tour with friendly guide and driver! We visited all the famous spots of the island and we enjoyed the magnificent santorini sunset from a hidden spot close to Oia!
It was a fantastic experience and very informative. The tour guide mr stelios was very knowledgeable and our driver john friendly and smooth. I highly recommend this tour which was one of the best tours I ever had as a traveller!
Our day tour with ur guide Mr Harris was excellent! Also, the vehicle was luxury and comfortable! The wine tasting in a traditional winery was a unique experience! Thank you
JUNE 2022 5 stars!!! OMG what an AMAZING experience with Paul in Santorini Private day tour! PAUL is your man in Santorini… First, he picks us up in advance at our hotel with the luxury car and his lovely smile. We knew right away that he wanted to make this day the best of our Greece trip. We visited not only the planned trip from Viator, but Much more. Paul went the extra mile for us, stopped at places we wanted and came back safely to the hotel. Paul offered to book for us a Sunset Dinner at OIA or FIRA (THERA) and he would pick us up and return us to the Hotel. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? We surely accepted and enjoyed the lovely evening… Again, Paul was on time to pick us up to go to our dinner AND I asked a favour to go shopping for an art souvenir at Fira, which he did. Paul reserved the restaurant, (BEST SEAT at the restaurant!) offered us drinks and waited for us to finish our dinner to bring us back to the hotel…BUT WAIT, he did again the EXTRA MILE to have a Santorini Night Tour on our way back, which was SO BEAUTIFUL. To concluded, without Paul it would not been a GREAT Santorini memory… THANK YOU, PAUL, FOR MAKING OUR TRIP MEMORABLE! Karol
Excellent service with our driver guide mr John! We spend our day in santorini with the best company!
We booked this tour last minute. Mr John was an excellent host. Always on time and very informative and funny! Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!
Michaela was an excellent driver and guide! She is a happy personality and knownlegable guide of santorini.
Just amazing. It was my first time in Santorini and I wanted something special for me and my wife. I can't describe with words just to say that we will always cherish the moments. Thank you so much, Giannis.
That was an unforgettable tour experience! In our day trip with igohellas we discovered all the famous highlights of Santorini! Our guide was Mr John, an amazing guy! Friendly and highly knowlegable about everything in Santorini, even the wine culture! During our day tour we visited also a local winery! There Mr John gave us a specific lesson about santorini wines. Cheers!!! I recommend you this travel agency and mr John for sure!!!
We had a wonderful private day tour with John!!! He had expert knowledge of Santorini and gave us so much information about the island. We visited too many great places with breathtaking views of the caldera! One of the best private tours we had taken in any Country. We would definitely recommend iGoHellas as a tour guide as his knowledge of Santorini is outstanding. Thank you John for an wonderful memorable day. Elize and Ron
The driver was very friendly, the car very comfortable and the guided tour very rewarding, useful when you have a very short stay in Santorini, it is really the opportunity to acquire as much information and have a deep look at this environment rich in history and affecting all natural sciences. I recommend this agency.
We have the chance to know the true beauty of Santorini, with the accompaniment of our guide Yianis, of igohellas. We visited "goose" (I hope it's written like this "Οία"?) and saw the magic of firostefani in person. Then we went to taste genuine Santorini wine which is made on site in the traditional way. I thought I knew "good old wine," but now, no kidding, I was shocked. It was a bottle of the best wine in the world, I think. Finally we visited the black beach / "mavri paralia" in Perissas. So beautiful. Thank you very much from my wife and I, igohellas We offer it 100% Thank you for everything!
The place is just beautiful ❗ Beauty surrounds on all sides. We visited a lot of places. The sea, the archaeological sites, the restaurants and everything the travel agency plans is beautiful. Driver, top-level service. The whole excursion is just lovely ❗
Super nice staff, (Ian was very friendly and helpful), great experience and fair prices. Always happy to be there. It's all tip top. Santorini is beautiful!
Very satisfied, all top, great Service, nice staff, fair prices and beautiful views!!!
