Santorini Skip The Cablecar By Watertaxi N Tour In Native English

We had an outstanding 6-hour Santorini tour with Themistoklis. He’s a native English speaker with substantial knowledge of Greek history and culture and made our visit to Santorini amazing. We strongly recommend booking your Santorini tour with Themistoklis. You will have an unforgettable experience!

We only had one full day in Santorini and this tour with Anglofone Greek Tours fit the bill exactly! My partner and I were escorted and chauffeured around the island, hitting the tops photo spots, hearing about the history of the island as well as the Greek culture. Themis is very engaging, knowledgable and easy to listen to with his perfect English. As his own boss, he was able to curate our tour to fit our requirements as well as ensuring we had the right amount of food and drink stops such as for a freddo cappuccino with a view! And then at the end, Themis suggested the best fish restaurant at black beach in Perissa ending with a lovely dip in the sea and relaxing on a cabana bed on the beach. Do not hesitate to book this tour as Themis will make sure you have the best experience! He is very easy to communicate with and therefore you can make sure you get everything you want from the tour.

Themis had great communication before I even booked the tour. He arranged for a private water taxi to take us to Oia to avoid the cable cars and donkeys. We had the best time seeing the villages, learning the history of Santorini, stopping at a beautiful monastery, having lunch and spending a couple of hours at the black sand beach. He arranged for a water taxi to get us back to Fira. My dad has a hard time walking long distances, but Themis helped him and was very accommodating. My kids are still talking about Themis and how he was their favorite tour guide. He was full of information and he kept us all entertained. Our day was perfect because of Themis- he customized the tour to what we wanted to do and see and to what my father was able to do. It was an amazing day, definitely a favorite for all of us!

Our Santorini tour with Themistoklis with Anglofone Greek Tours was one of our highlights of our 10 day honeymoon!! He did an amazing job not only showing us the island, but sharing his wealth of knowledge as well. We learned so much and had a great time! He even made accommodations for us when I realized last minute that I mixed up the tour dates and pulled together a tour for us with less than a days notice. Doing a private tour is so much better than the tour bus options. Highly recommend!!

Themistoklis from AnglofoneGreekTours is by far the most entertaining, funny and intelligent tour guide I've ever met. He's charming, handsome and brilliant. Amazing to spend the day with. He knows Santorini and Greek history in general like a true local tour guide. My sister and I had an amazing time with him as he guided us throughout Santorini for the most unbelievable tour of our lives. He absolutely took care of every detail, from arranging the water Taxi to pick us up from the tender port of Fira and brought us to the port of Oia with class exactly on time like he promised then he took us to see all the highlights of Santorini like a local. He planned it perfect to skip the crowds and he knew exactly what he was doing. Instagram photo stops, quaint villages, beaches and the Monastery. We enjoyed every minute of it. He took all of our pictures at every stop and made sure we were always happy and comfortable to have the best time possible. We definitely recommend Themistoklis to anyone wanting a first-class tour of Santorini for the time of your life! Book him today!

Themis was our outstanding and knowledgeable tour guide in Santorini .We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. He arrived on time , organized our water taxi for meet up in Oia early am, we walked through the beautiful village + visited a cute local coffee bar for iced lattes. We then ventured to black sand beach and enjoyed a delicious seafood restaurant called Do Do’s on the beach, which also provided us w lounge chairs. He ended our tour in Fira. We never felt rushed ~ it made our time in Santorini so much more enjoyable with no hassle of the large group excursions that cruise ships offer. He really knew all about the history of the island + how to avoid the crowds in this heat . He was very accommodating with my sister and I. Thanks so much Themis !

Our family of six did the Santorini tour with Themistoklis and we all absolutely loved it! Themis had someone waiting for us when we arrived from our cruise ship to pick us up by water taxi. Themis was there when we arrived in Oia. This was such an amazing tour that I would be writing paragraphs if I detailed all of the wonderful places Themis took us. It was just the right balance of tourist stops and the authentic side of Santorini. Themis went above and beyond in so many ways, including when one of my daughters didn’t want to be in the sun at the beach. He was running around, making sure she was happy while the rest of us were enjoying the water and the black sand beach. Themis is great company, informative, took pictures of our family all over Santorini, never rushed us, is very knowledgeable and showed us so many wonderful sites. We are back home now in the United States and we are all still talking about this tour. Highly highly recommend!

Our experience in Santorini was absolutely unforgettable, and that was largely thanks to our incredible tour guide. From the moment the tour began, his knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for the island made every stop come alive with fascinating stories, history, and local insights. He expertly balanced the must-see highlights with hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. Whether we were admiring the breathtaking views of Oia, learning about Santorini’s volcanic history, exploring charming villages, or enjoying local culture and cuisine, every moment felt meaningful and engaging. I highly recommend it.

Our tour with Themis was awesome. We learned so much about the island and were able to see all sides of it. One of my favorite stops was the black sand beach and local dining. There are SO many places and opportunities for photos in beautiful Santorini!

After touring with Themis in Athens, we decided to add a tour in Santorini after our flying dress photoshoot. In Santorini, Themis shared his knowledge of the island’s history and layout made exploring so easy and enjoyable. From the breathtaking views in Oia to the volcanic beaches and charming lunch at Dodo's on the black beach, every moment felt personalized. Professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about Greek culture — Themis made the experience seamless and memorable. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a deeper, more authentic experience in Greece!

Our Santorini Magic tour blew us away-guide Themis, an American who knew the island inside out, gave us deep dives into Santorini’s culture, lifestyle, geology, agriculture, and history, making it feel alive. With twenty-two family members, they tackled our disembarking delays, getting us to Oia via water taxi, guiding us in groups flawlessly, and ensuring we all got back on time for a phenomenal day. Seamless, five stars!

We had an amazing tour with Themistoklis Kalivas with American Greek Tours who was referred by a friend who did a tour with him in June. Our pick up was unique because of not being able to get a tender from our cruise line I had to book a tour and go to the tour drop off away from the cable cars and he didn’t hesitate to reassure us it would work out. We first went to Oia for my bucket list Flying Dress with Stella all arranged by Themistoklis and because of my husband’s limited mobility for stairs he took us to see sights where the tour buses did not go to. Even helped my hubby with the stairs wherever we went. We went from one end of the island to another. Like a beautiful church at top of island, black sand beach with an amazing lunch with fresh caught that day sea bass and red snapper, unique picture stops all while sharing about the island like the spices, winery plants and unique way they water and grow the plants on the island. He even took pictures and sent them to us before the end of the trip prior to getting us back to the cable cars in plenty of time to get back on the ship! We will be back and referring him to friends and family!

My wife and I had an amazing time with Themistoklis. We explored Santorini, saw everything we wanted to see, and avoided the unnecessary time waiting for specific spots. Themistoklis Was super knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. I would definitely recommend booking with Themistoklis.

Wow what an amazing day. Themistoklis arranged for us to do the flying dress my bucket list and Stella was awesome. My hubby has limited mobility and and Themistoklis arranged for us to see so many places that he was able to walk. From Oia to the mosque to lunch with a great authentic Greek family restaurant. I couldn’t have had a more perfect day on Santorini! You can’t pick a better tour guide than Themistoklis! Pearl and Chuck C

Themistoklis was fantastic! We booked a "best of Santorini" tour for the day while in port with our cruise. He arrived right on time and took us all over the island. We successfully avoided the major crowds in Oia and recommended a tremendous family restaurant right on the beach for lunch. He's very knowledgable about the area and if you didn't hear him speak English like an American, you would never know he wasn't born and raised in Greece. Highly recommend touring with Themistoklis!!

We booked a full day private tour of Santorini for 2 couples through Get Your Guide and Themostoklis was our guide. He clearly communicated the night before as to time and location of pick up. He showed us the whole island over our 6 hrs getting us to Oia before the crowds, taking us to small towns and the black sand beach. He suggested a wonderful restaurant for lunch where we had fresh sea bass with a view of the sea. It was a beautiful day. Themostoklis shared his knowledge and love of Santorini with us and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Themistoklis gave my husband and I the best private tour of Santorini! He was kind and very knowledgeable. He even helped us get the famous blue dome photo in a spot away from the crowds. We could see lines that would take over and hour for the photo and we got ours in seconds! Great tour for our honeymoon, he took us to a local restaurant for a fantastic lunch and even shows us a really cool beach bar. Don’t hesitate to book , we had the best time!

Themistoklis is an awesome guide! We had a private four person tour with just our family in Santorini. We were able to zip around the large tour groups for the best pictures we got a personalized tour of the island and the best part was the little beach restaurant he recommended for some amazing Seafood that really topped off the trip. My wife had made an appointment for a photo shoot in Santorini so the tour was arranged around that and he got us back right at sunset for some of the best pictures ever. Thank you for a great time

Themis took us on two tours. The first was a wine tour split between wineries inland and two on the caldera with breathtaking views. The best tour was a 6 hour tour of the highlights of Santorini, including Akrotiri, black and red beach, and some stops with amazing views of the caldera from different points of view, all spectacular! He gave us a great overview of the history of Santorini including providing information about each stop. We were there over Easter so he told us about the traditions and places we could go to view celebrations unique to Santorini. Highly recommend!

My family and I were very impressed with the amount of knowledge he had and he made our experience even more special with his sense of humor and kindness.

Themistocles is the BEST tour guide! We had such a amazing time with him and others in the tour . His upbeat personality and knowledge about Greece made the tour perfect. Also he is a great driver!

Themis was awesome! A knowledgable gracious host who knew the in's and out's of all things Athens. We went to every major attraction, and he also had all the tips to beat the crowds. Hidden entrances, things to do, etc. He took us to a local coffee shop as well, along with a beautiful scenic overlook to grab lunch. I highly recommend!! Will be back!

Best trip EVER! Thanks to Themis! His knowledge and understanding of the history of greece made this tour the best ever! Took us to the best locations! The best food! The best views!

Themistoklis Kalivas was a tour guide he made the trip more memorable. He was so Great very informative. An inspiration. His passion for Greece made me fall in love with Greece more. He took us to the best scenes. Best restaurant. The Black Sea. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been . Thank you Themistoklis Kalivas see you soon.

A brilliant day out with a knowledgeable tour guide. He was sympathetic to our families needs (elderly guests and a baby) and arranged everything perfectly. We are so grateful for the experience and happy we had the opportunity to learn so much about the island

A private tour of Athens done by a Greek who speaks perfectly English. We felt like we were Olympians. Very knowledgeable of sites and history. Know what time to go in places to avoid the crowds. Very organized, so you can accommodate as many sites as possible. Being a Greek, he made great recommendations for the best food. I will 100% recommend a private tour with Temistoklis.
