A great experience with Mike. Ou first visit to Santorini and we had the full experience. Meet up was easy after our concerns about the tender procee and the cable car. We spent some time in Oia , blue roovest. Then to the highest point on the island, then to the brewey and finally a wine tasting. The final experience with the cable car was disappointing.
Mike was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and courteous.
Kostas did a wonderful job on our tour. He is a local and very passionate about Santorini and its history. The tour lasted about 5 hours and we had an opportunity to do a wine tasting, see the sunset from atop a cliff, explore a Venetian castle, and more. He was also nice enough to share tips for exploring the island during the rest our trip. I highly recommend both this company and Kostas in particular.
As first time visitors to Santorini, this was the perfect way to spend the day and get to know the island from an insiders perspective. Mario, our guide and local resident, was knowledgeable, kind, over the top helpful, and made us feel like honored guests enjoying this beautiful island. We felt like he truly enjoyed showing us around, in addition to being an excellent picture take 😊 His narration and explanations throughout the trip were interesting and insightful. Our time spent at the private wine tasting was also a great enhancement to the tour, having a chance to try great wine and enjoy learning about the history of wine making in Santorini. The overall time of the tour was perfect, too – we still had time to wander a little on our own afterwards and enjoy a great Greek lunch. Definitely recommend this, especially if you can request Mario!

We had a wonderful experience exploring Santorini with Dimitri. What made the day particularly special was that he is a local, and his knowledge and personal connection to the island allowed us to experience Santorini through his eyes rather than simply seeing it as tourists. Dimitri has an incredible knowledge of the local areas, history and culture, and he brought everything to life with his stories and enthusiasm. It was fascinating to hear about the places we visited from someone who genuinely knows and loves the island. He was friendly, engaging and clearly passionate about sharing his home with visitors. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Dimitri to anyone wanting to discover the real Santorini. The wine tasting was interesting too and the selection of four we tasted were all of a good quality. There was also a small tasting plate to pair with the food. I would thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone new to the island or wanting to explore new parts.
We had our tour with Mario a few hours after arriving in Santorini, and he helped us to quickly understand the magic and allure of this Mediterranean paradise, from our southern starting point of Perissa to the famous northern area of Oia. Mario was friendly and helpful throughout the tour. I’d highly recommend this tour for a great overview of Santorini, especially early into an extended stay. Turns out we liked the laid back vibe of Perissa more than the pace of Oia, but I can’t knock the beauty of any part of the island.
Dimitri was an excellent guide for our tour of Santorini. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the area and each city or village. He allowed us to go at our own pace yet adhering to the itinerary. He was very personable and knew several of the local people. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors to Santorini.
Our guide Mario was awesome. We had a great tour of the island and he showed us all the best highlights!
Michael was an excellent guide and driver. He had an itinerary ready for us, but also asked what we wanted to see on the island. He was knowledgeable of the history of Santorini, as he has lived there his whole life. I strongly recommend navigating this busy island with a local guide!
Just finished a fantastic summary tour of Santorini with Kostas and Santorini tours. My family, six adults and an infant, spent four hours with Kostas and got an excellent overview and history of the island. Kostas was extremely knowledgeable, tremendously flexible, and a very good person to spend time with. We’d highly recommend using Kostas and his company.
Dimitri was the best tour guide on Santorini! He knew so much history about the island, having been born and raised there. Not only was the history lesson fascinating, the wine tasting tour was wonderful. Having been on different wine tours around the world, the Santorini wine making process is completely different from anywhere else. And the wines there are amazing! Since we are still on the island, we will be booking another excursion with them soon!
Our travel agent found this tour, and it did not disappoint! Our guide Mike quickly became our best friend, and hustled for our three hour time window to ensure we saw a lot- the views & experience of Santo Winery was a highlight! Our ship had to depart two hours earlier than planned due to wind, and Mike went above and beyond to help reschedule our non-tour affiliated dinner reservations too. Very highly recommend this company, and especially Mike, for your Santorini experience!!!!
We had an amazing experience on this private Santorini tour with Michael. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. He tailored the itinerary exactly to what we wanted and made the entire day feel effortless and relaxed. Michael was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and his driving made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the tour. He showed us beautiful spots around the island and made sure we got the most out of our time in Santorini. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and we would highly recommend this tour, especially with Michael as your guide!
This is one of the best tours we’ve done in any country.Thanos was a great tour guide show us all the hidden spots. We were late getting to our meeting spot by an hour, but still took his time with us showed us the whole island. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide. It felt like we knew his family by the end of the tour had so much information to pass on to us.
We did this tour with Mike and it was honestly the highlight of our trip to Thira (Santorini). Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He brought us to so many amazing places and gave us so much information about Santorini. The scenery we got to see was spectacular. He was great with the kids and he was happy to bring us anywhere we wanted to go. It was a really relaxing and memorable experience for my whole family. I would highly recommend everyone do this tour.
We had an absolutely lovely day touring Santorini with our fantastic guide Alex. He was as nice and kind as he was knowledgeable. He went to every length to make sure we got our sunset at the Monastery on the hardest day of the year (Good Friday). His efforts were well worth it as our sunset was nothing short of amazing. We made the decision to end our tour in the village of Pyrgos for the Procession of the Epitaph. (A MUST SEE on this holy day! So unique). The village was overrun with people but Alex took the extra time to walk us into town (no vehicles for near the center of town) to get us situated (he even talked us into a restaurant for use of restrooms!) Highly recommend this trip and REQUEST Alex as your guide! A delightful, soon to be first time father!
If you’re visiting Santorini, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Thanos at Santorini Road Trips—you will not regret it! Thanos is a 9th-generation local who has grown up and lived on the island his entire life, and it truly shows in every moment of the experience. His knowledge of Santorini is unmatched—he knows every inch of the island, from hidden gems to the best local restaurants, and even the people who make this place so special. What sets Thanos apart is who he is as a person. He is incredibly personable, warm, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, tailoring everything to what we enjoyed and making us feel completely taken care of. By the end of the day, it didn’t feel like we had just hired a guide—we felt like we had made a true friend. We were talking about him all the way back to the ship! This was hands-down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had while traveling. Thank you, Thanos, from the bottom of our hearts!
Kostas went above and beyond to make our day in Santorini memorable!
Kostas was excellent! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Spoke very good English. I would highly recommend him.
Kostas was great the tour was amazing. He know all the secret places to take you to get the best pictures. I enjoyed that this was a private tour and not on a bus with a lot of people. I learned a lot about Greece and would definitely book with this company again.
We had an absolute blast with Kosta in Santorini. He mapped out a great itinerary that took us to the best locations on the island. I highly recommend this tour and Kostas!
Kostas was a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this company and ask for kostas he was born and raised in Greece.
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Santorini with Alex, and it truly made our trip unforgettable. From the start, he was thoughtful, flexible, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island and its history. What stood out most was how he tailored the entire day to match our interests—nothing felt rushed or generic. Alex didn’t just show us the major highlights; he elevated the experience by adjusting the schedule so we could take part in something truly special: the Good Friday celebration in Pyrgos. Seeing the entire village illuminated with thousands of lanterns was breathtaking—one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments you can’t plan on your own. The way he seamlessly incorporated this into our day showed both his expertise and his genuine care for creating meaningful experiences. If you’re visiting Santorini, don’t hesitate to book with Alex. He goes above and beyond to make sure your day is not only seamless, but truly memorable.
We had the best day with Mike! He was so accommodating and full of information. Placed the tour wonderfully and got so much information in.
Vasilis arrived on time, provided a history of the island that was fascinating, was a good driver and great host . I highly recommend the wine tour and our driver Vasilis!
Mario was a fantastic tour guide. He took us to local areas that were less touristy as well as to all the major tourist sites. He knew all the interesting history about the island and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend the private tour for a more personal experience of the island.
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and knew all of the shortcuts to top sites. He planned and revisited the plan in consultation based on time available.
My husband and I booked a tour to visit Santorini and have a wine tasting. We stopped in more than 5 different places. We had time to Walk, take our pics and enjoy the view. Our guide Micheal was very efficient, polite and drived very safely . A very beautiful day! Thanks Micheal!

Our family spent a great day visiting the sites of Santorini and visiting two wineries. George was a fabulous guide! Highly recommend!
Truly I would rate this experience 10 stars on a scale of 1-5. It was just that good. George was amazing. We became family the day of our tour. We were literally the only ones on the tour. George treated us like family from the first handshake to the last hug. He made the experience what it was, phenomenal. He taught us so much about Greece, Santorini and the history. Our faces hurt from smiling so much at the end of the tour. World class vistas and views. This tour is a must and George is too. Ask for him. Tell him Chris and Megan sent you. He will smile and you won’t regret a second of it. Thanks George, we will be back as soon as we can!
This Santorini tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish! We explored some of the most beautiful spots on the island, and the added wine tasting made it even more special.

We took two separate tours and George was our driver and Guide. He was professional, accommodating, flexible and personable. George asked us our expectations and he made suggestions that proved to be excellent. He was very aware of the time and crowds and avoided them as much as possible. Excellent!
Our private tour with George was absolutely unforgettable. He shared fascinating facts, guided us to breathtaking views far from the crowds, and made every moment feel truly immersive.
