A fantastic experience with Tasos! He drove us all around Santorini and gave us some insights into the daily life of the locals of this beautiful Greek Island. The tour was personalised and Tasos drove us everywhere when I last visited, 20 years earlier! Before heading back to the ship, Tasos took us too a very nice Seafood restaurant near the airport! I assume this is where the locals go. The food was amazing and we didnt have any dinner that night! Highly recommend and we got back to the ship in good time!

Itinerary
Oia has an mystique scent attracting artists from all over the world. There are so many art galleries and other places of cultural interest to visit so you will never be bored. Take pictures of the whitewashed houses and walk around the winding streets. You will also have some free time to shop for souvenirs or taste some of the best local delicacies of the island.
Hosting beautiful views, in Pyrgos village you can find churches dated from the 11th century, as well as a Venetian castle.
A quiet, caldera-view village just north of Fira, known for its blue-domed church and sweeping views over the volcano.
Caldera views near Skaros Rock — one of the most dramatic viewpoints on the island, just past Firostefani.
Perissa with the extraordinaty 7km long black volcanic sandy beach is our next stop. The existence of the volcano on the island is obvious with the dark sand covering the beach. We are sure that you will find everything you want from this beach from crystal clear waters to amazing opportunities for water fun
Our tour would not leave out a visit at a traditional Winery so you can have the opportunity to taste sensational wines from some of the oldest vineyards in Europe. Try up the famous varietals of Santorini wines such as Assyrtiko, Nychteri and Vinsanto.
The Monastery was built in 1711, on the highest point of the island, 567m above the sea level. The striking view of the entire island is really amazing. Don’t miss the opportunity to taste the dessert wine, honey and extra virgin olive oil that’s made on site only by the monks.
The majestic Red Beach one of the most picturesque beaches of the island. The view of the red, almost vertical, volcanic rocks and the small, reddish pebbles will take your breath away.

Very great experience and a great driver. Took great pictures for us
Excellent tour of Santorini. Our driver drove us to all the highlights of the island including Oia , winery and the black beaches. He was very professional, gave us many interesting facts about the island and tailored the trip perfectly to what our interests were. He also took wonderful pictures of my husband and I. If you have a short stay in Santorini this is the way to see the island.
Angelos shared so much knowledge about Santorini and its history. He took us to amazing places we would have never toured on our own. Thank you Angelos for your kind spirit and wealth of knowledge.
Angelos knew all the best spots on Santorini. He was happy to take photos of us and helped us avoid the crowds. It was everything we hoped for our five-hour tour. A wonderful guide for this beautiful island.
We had the best time with Angelo! Highly recommend!
Arthur our guide is the KING! Best guide in Greece not just Santorini! I suggest to the whole earth to ask for Arthur! Don’t settle… he’s the MAN!
We had a wonderful day in Santorini with Angelo. He was professional, friendly and took us everywhere we wanted to go. He suggested a perfect local place for lunch and then continued the tour. We highly recommend him!!
Flexible guide made our day perfect. Showed us the whole island. Stopped for photos recommended a great spot for lunch. Ended at black beach. Excellent day.
This private day trip is worth every penny that we paid. Alex, our guide patiently waited for us because we had to take the tender from our cruise ship and the line was long at the cable car. We were able to see what we wanted to see within the short period we were in Santorini. Our guide was very knowledgeable with the history of Santorini. I would recommend this to anybody who only has a few hours to spend in Santorini.
Alex was a most knowledgeable and excellent guide. He personalized the tour to our preferences. Thank you!
Our guide, Angelo, was fantastic. We hit the sites and he also took us to a few “off the beaten track” places (literally!). He was knowledgeable, friendly, and good with the kids. We enjoyed our day thoroughly. One word of caution to anyone coming in on a cruise: if there are multiple ships tendering, the line for the cable car is outrageous (was 2.5 hours our morning). This company communicated well and waited for us, even though we ended up 90 minutes late.
This was a fantastic experience. We were only in Santorini for the day from a cruise ship. We wanted to maximize our time and see as much as possible. Chrysa and Angeles were the best. The took us to the best photo locations and some places that were off the beaten path we would have been known about. Bonus... we learned a lot about the island and Greek culture. It was great to hear it from a local.
We had a wonderful day with Jessica and Funni (believe that was our drivers name). Jessica was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and talked of the history of Santorini as we toured. I feel like we covered a lot of area in a short amount of time. She had great spots for photos along the way and was our personal photographer. Our day ended with a wonderful dinner at a restaurant on Black Beach. She joined us for dinner and helped us ordering food which we greatly appreciated. It was a great day. Ask for Jessica!
Very nice and professional tour guide and driver. Made visiting Santorini an incredible experience. Very complete tour. The car mas very nice.
Incredible tour of Santorini with Jessica and John! Jessica is full of energy and warmth. She had a whole day planned out, but was willing to deviate to see anything that wasn't on her list that we wanted to see. Based upon our research and areas mentioned by our hotel, we covered it all. We were allowed to spend as much or as little time as we wanted in each place where we stopped. We never felt rushed -we are big picture takers. Jessica was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions as well as giving us significant knowledge of the island and the sites. They were happy to go for wine tasting if we wanted, but we opted for drinks and appetizers at the Black Beach. They are very accommodating. We highly recommend!
John and Jessica showed all the highlights in just over three hours. We had some extra time in the morning before our ferry and wanted to see some of the villages and Fira before we left. They came through with just a phone call the night before. Very professional and informative.
Our guide Jessica was pleasant and fun to be with. My wife and I were 1 hour early and informed her about it. She arrived at the meeting 3 minutes later without us requesting it. How about that!!! Excellent start right away. We did a walking tour first of Fira which is where the cable car is located. Then boarded their BMW SUV to drive to Oia. This place will blow you away. She accommodated our request to have a pleasant relaxed lunch in one of the towns. Overall, we enjoyed this tour. Jessica provided us with useful information about Santorini and Greece as well. Highly recommended tour and tour guide and driver(sorry forget his name) as well.
Nafsika was excellent! She was accommodating when an unforeseen event led to our group running significantly late with start time. She was energetic, informative, and genuinely friendly. She quickly understood the type of tour my group wanted and made our day with her one of the highlights of our 2 week-long vacation. Thank you!
Angelo was recommended by the staff at Vassaltis Vineyards and on short notice he agreed to accommodate us the next day. He was flexible for our time and he picked us up in Oia in the afternoon for a private 5 hour tour in a comfortable Mercedes van. He is native to Santorini, personable, funny, knowledgeable and a good driver. He took us from one end of Santorini to the other, visiting the highest lookout, the village of Pyrgos, Akrotiri Lighthouse and the Red Beach. We stopped for a break at for a personal tour of the museum of Santo Wines and gave us time for a wine/snack tasting. His assistant Jessica is also knowledgeable and passionate about sharing facts & secrets about the island. This was the best tour of ou 5 week trip through Italy & Greece and well worth the price.
Georgia and our tour driver definitely turned our day into one of the best. We had a horrible experience on seajets getting to Santorini. They arrived 2 hours late yet Georgia and the driver waited patiently for us, not leaving us behind. They calmed us down and even took us to an xtra place not scheduled to see. It was a spectacular tour. They definitely were "angels" to us that day! Thank you both so much for turning our bad day into one of the best days ever!
As soon as we arrived at the airport, Angelos was there! The van was spotless! We served everything we asked for! Smiling and happy with every excursion we made! The other driver is Michael himself! I highly recommend it! Thank you for everything Angel! We hope to visit the island soon!
We spent a day in Santorini with Angelo four years ago and had such a great time that we came back for a week! We spent a day with him again and discovered even more wonderful places in Santorini. Angelo is extremely knowledgeable, and fun to be with. He is reliable and professional and I highly recommend him! He is GREAT!
