Our tour was amazing and our guide Kostas came highly recommended. Cannot say enough good things about him as our guide just made that tour do much more enjoyable. He was very knowledgable, took the time to show you things you would have missed on a group tour. He knew short cuts so you did not have to wait in line for sights. We are planning another trip next year to Santorini again and will be booking with him again,

The village has several cultural attractions such as: The maritime museum, traces of a Venetian fortress and the captains houses. You may as well see the cave houses used to be the homes of ship crews, and the neo-classical architecture, when the village was inhabited by the affluent class of ship owners.

Michael was amazing. He knew everybody and all the different locations and knew all the history of everything. Highly recommend Michael if you’re planning a trip to Santorini. He was the best.
This was an amazing tour for a large and chaotic family. We were coming off a cruise and here for only one day and this tour made the most of our time. Our guide was Thanos and he was magnificent! We also had Mike and Michael because we were such a large crew (20 people) and we needed 3 cars to drive us all. All three of them were so informative, patient, kind, and accommodating. We had people of ages from 5 to 70 and every single person took something positive from the tour. Mike was the driver for me and he handled everything from little kid tears to grown up questions and an impromptu loud car sing along with a great attitude and amazing sense of humor. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They also were able tailor the tour to our needs (we had little kids with little attention spans and grown adults with bad knees, they were flexible and ensured we all got to see a little bit of everything haha). Thanos was so informative and charismatic. Michael was so present and intuitive. And Mike was a superstar who was ready for anything we threw at him. Awesome gentleman, awesome experience, awesome day! Truly cannot recommend enough.
Mike, Michael, and Thanos were AWESOME! So helpful and educational, even going out of their way to describe the history of Santorini. Great service
We just left Santorini and enjoyed a fabulous five star private tour with Mike. He made us feel like VIPs…. showed us all the best picture taking spots, taking us past all the lines (they were long!) to get the best pictures! He took us to a cute little hidden village where we purchased gelato and also took us to the Black Sand Beach for a wonderful lunch at a beach club. He’s a local and knows the island well! Very informative and had an amazing time! Thanks, Mike!
Dimitri was our guide and he was so knowledgeable about Santorini. He was patient and kind and helped us with our photos. The whole experience was enjoyable and memorable. I would recommend booking with them.
What a wonderful way to finish our time in Santorini. Dimitris was our amazing driver/tour guide. He took such great care of my daughter and myself, ensuring that we had the perfect experience. Highly recommend Dimitris and this company!
Our tour guide Giannis was excellent. It was the best tour we had on vacation and the most beautiful island of our vacation. He was very informative friendly and just told us so much information. We were so pleased he had so much knowledge he brought us to his home town, the black and red sea. He was wonderful. I highly recommend him and if I ever come back, I will definitely get in touch with him very very pleased.
The tour was amazing. Mario was professional, kind and very informative. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family
It was a amazing experience! Our guide Sakis was great and showed us around some gems of Santorini. We loved every second of it. Would definitely recommend!
Our tour guy Mike, was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. He taught us a lot about his culture, and helped us with taking pictures of the most beautiful sights. He has a ton of inside knowledge of where to get the best pictures and views. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Mike!
We had an unforgettable experience touring Santorini with George as our guide. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems. What really stood out was his flexibility—our group had a few people with mobility concerns, and George made thoughtful adjustments to ensure everyone could enjoy the day comfortably. The tour was tailored to our interests and pace, and we never felt rushed. If you’re looking for a personalized and insightful way to see Santorini, I highly recommend George and Santorini Road Trips!
Our guide Nikki was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. The tour operator, George, was very responsive and accommodated our large party via two separate booking, special drop off, & transportation transportation to old port from our special stop. We are more than happy with our experience, and will recommend to our friends coming to Santorini in a few months
George was our guide. He was fantastic. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Very accommodating to our plans. Took us to all the best places for amazing pics. Would highly recommend!
George was our driver. He was amazing. Plenty of knowledge and background. Took us to all the best areas for pictures. Was extremely accommodating to our plans.
Mike the tour guide was excellent, gave us a detailed history of the town his service was great. Overall experience impressed.
Our trip was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. George was an excellent guide—pleasant, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His deep understanding of the area's history added so much depth to the experience, and he made sure we were always well-informed and engaged. There were plenty of opportunities to take photos and capture the beautiful moments along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and insightful experience!
Absolutely amazing tour of Santorini! Our guide, Mike, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day feel easy and relaxed. He took us to some of the most breathtaking vistas on the island, places we never would have found on our own. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen and timed perfectly to avoid the crowds. His van was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We would 100% recommend Mike to our closest friends and family. Thanks, Mike, for an unforgettable day on Santorini!
Our private tour guide Sakis greeted us with extreme hospitality , transported us back into time of the ruins and landmarks making history fun again. Of course he didn’t need much help with the picturesque backgrounds Greece has to offer. The early Athene Noctua (little owl ) definitely “got the worm” and was able to see all the views requested, before all the cruise ships unloaded their groups causing chaotic lines for the churches and blue tops. Allowing us to stop at a local bakery, shops, and the breathtaking hike to the top of the cliff on the beach (violinist playing ) to end an exquisite tour. Sas efcharistó & Yamas Sakis
We had a great private tour with George. He was extremely knowledgeable of the sites and history but as importantly he knew how to navigate around the crowds. He was a pleasure to spend time with and to experience Santorini.
We had an amazing time, Santorini is beautiful! After a long two weeks of exploring Europe a nice car tour with stops was just what we needed. Our driver/guide vasilis was very kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend!
We were delayed in getting off the ship due to having to tender and the rough seas. George was our guide and he communicated freely with us via WhatsApp reassuring us that he would be waiting for us whenever we were able to get there (for those that do not know - the meeting point is at the top of the cliff but you arrive via tender at the pier down below. There is a gondola or you can walk or ride a donkey to the top). Though our time was cut short by a couple of hours, George took the stress away by reassuring us, being so kind and flexible! He was warm, engaging, and tailored the time we had to maximize our experience according to our preferences. We ended our day with the most delicious meal at a seaside restaurant of his recommendation. Amazing!!
George was an amazing tour guide, we had a good time with him. He took a bunch of pictures of us so it was like a free photoshoot.
George was a fantastic tour guide, made us very comfortable and showed us beautiful places to take photos, taught us about the history and we stopped for beautiful sunset pictures just in time to see it. Very pleasant experience and highly recommend.
Fantastic tour! Our tour guide was very friendly and accommodating! We loved it, it was a great way to see the island without a crowd.
Alexos was a great guide. Super personality and knowledgeable. We hit all the great spots of Oia for pictures. Tour was also flexible to include whatever we wanted.
Panagiota took us on this amazing tour and her knowledge was incredible, she is a lovely person who made us have the best day, thank you panagiota
Panagiota is a brilliant guide and a lovely person, she made our tour fun and interesting and her knowledge of the island is incredible, thank you for a brilliant day, I would give more than 5 stars if possible
We loved everything about the tour it was everything we wanted to do and see! We did our tour at 930 am which was a great way to beat the crowds .our driver George and tour guide ALEXIOS were fantastic!
Seeing the beautiful and scenic island of Santorini including Oia. Michael was a great tour guide. Showed us beautiful spots for photos and was very informative.
We are so happy we did this to her! One of our friends from the states recommended Nikos. I am really happy that we got him as a guide! He was very kind and drove us around carefully and made sure to make us aware of our surroundings. He knows a lot about the culture and a lot about the history of the island And he makes it fun! We were able to see everything we wanted to see and were very impressed with his tour and the comfortable vehicle we were driven around in. We got to see a lot and hear a lot of interesting information. Highly recommend! Thank you, Nikos!
We had a wonderful day exploring beautiful Santorini with Nicholas! He picked us up at Ammoudi Bay so we didn’t have to deal with the cable car and crowds. And then he drove us around the island to Oia, Imerovigli, Pyrgos, the highest point of Santorini, and more! We saw about 75% of the island and loved every bit of it! Nicholas was awesome and helped us navigate and avoid the crowds. This is a big deal, especially in August! Thank you, Nicholas for showing us your beautiful island and sharing your stories and history with us. Efcharisto!
Our guide Panagiota was wonderful and very knowledgeable about Santorini. As a native, she was very passionate about her home!
Nicholas was our guide and he was so much fun & friendly! He even give us a little souvenir at the end of the tour which was really thoughtful!
Our guide Michael is very professional , helpful and knowledgeable ! We highly recommend families to have Michael as their guide.
My driver was very nice and knowledgeable about the island.. it’s a little expensive just for a tour.
Our driver was awesome, took us to see all of the great sites and was very patient waiting for us when we were delayed.
Being able to see so much of Santorini at our own pace was amazing. Nicholas, our guide, was knowledgeable and extremely nice. He ensured we saw much more than most other tours. It was a great experience!
We would highly recommend this tour. Tasos, our guide was very informative and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Tasos ensured that we were able to see the sights before they became too crowded. We were picked up at 8am and dropped back to our hotel by 11am and that gave us enough time to enjoy the sights. We would recommend this tour as you get a much more personalised experience and you best the crowds. You will notice lots of other tours which are much busier and arrive later in the day. We bypassed all of them and focused on what we wanted to see. Thank you Tasos, you helped us have a great experience.
Tasos showed us the beautiful blue domed rooftops, explained the culture on the island, got us to wonderful locations of breathtaking views for great photos, and got us as close as possible to the cable car. He was so kind and patient especially with my mom who had walking issues. Highly recommend!!!
Michael was a fantastic driver and tour guide. He coordinated in advance our link up time. Was exceptionally early and even volunteered to start our tour sooner. He gave us options on the best places to visit. We ended up going to Oia and a vineyard. To my surprise, he took exceptional pictures with my camera so that i did not need selfies the entire time. We stopped at several picture taking spots along our drive. His Mercedes van was spacious, clean, and he had water for us with maps as well. When I return to Santorini, I’ll use Michael again. He exceeded our expectations.
We had a very knowledgeable guide, professional, and entertaining. We covered a lot of area in Santorini. He recommended a great restaurant with a awesome view. We would highly recommend the tour.
Dimitrios was a great driver. He was very punctual and arrived before the scheduled time. He was very informative. He took us to all the best spots for taking pictures. He always made sure we were happy and asked if there was anything more he could do for us.
Fun and friendly and accommodating with addition of two friends. Can’t wait to have my son tour with you in a week. George was easy going and patient
We saw beautiful views. Ate great local food. Learned important history. Visited the caves where the poor lived and survived
Our guide, George, met us in the melee that was the top of the cable car! How he found us in that mob I’ll never know! Great personality and fun to be with, we had spirited conversation about Greece, past and present. He expertly guided us to the areas that were important for us to explore and get the best experience on Santorini! After he left us we made our way back to the cable car. The tour operator sent us a message informing us that two glasses of wine were waiting for us at Kastro and to ask for Thanos. We were shown to a beautiful table with a million dollar view and treated like royalty by Thanos! A marvelous ending in Santorini!
We had a Great time! Tour Guide Vasilis was amazing, he told us so much history and took us to all the fun spots. Without him we would not have had the same experience. Highly recommend!
Our guide, Lazaro, was great. His explanations and stories of the amazing island were fantastic. We visited incredible landmarks and the service was superb.
Great experience, beautiful place , Casas the driver was amazing, very good gentleman, I am recommended to call George at the office and make your next reservation, here at Santorini. Thank you very much to both for letting us have a beautiful experience. Communication was excellent . Hugo and family
Micheal was really the best ever guide and driver, and he was super helpful and accommodating even with our large (and loud) family. Recommend for cruise excursions no stress whatsoever, and much more enjoyable than a bus tour!
