Stelio’s was a wonderful and fun guide during our visit to santorini. We travelled with our three teenage boys and sometimes tours like this can be “boring”. They all said they liked Stelios and enjoyed the small wine tasting he provided. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and provided a wealth of information. Plus when our boys were hungry and tired he gave us no problem when wr wanted to be dropped off to do some shopping and eating. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Tour guide treated us like family!

jenmarrott, Sep 2023

Our tour guide Jenny was fabulous; she treated us like we were family friends and showed us all around the island. She customized our tour to ensure we saw what we wanted too and she is an amazing photographer and took lovely photos of our family along the way.

Brett_D, Sep 2023

Our tour guides(Niki and Nick) were very friendly and knowledgeable. My wife has limited mobility and they adjusted the tour to meet our needs. The only negative is from the drop off point from the van back up to the cable car can be very challenging for someone in a wheelchair. The tour company should take this into consideration.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Brett thank you so much for your review , we really appreciate it. If you ever come back to Santorini do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you again

An amazing day in Santorini

Laura_Z, Aug 2023

Amazing experience and incredible guide. She seamlessly led us to the areas before the crowds arrived. She had a wealth of information and in 5 hours we saw more than most see in a day. Couldn’t recommend higher. Also communication was excellent and easy

Not our best private tour

Janine_M, Jul 2023

While Santorini is lovely (not our first visit), this tour left us unsatisfied. It was a 5 hour tour and we spent more time driving and being rushed than actually enjoying the tour. We visited OIA, which was overly crowded (not tour operator’s fault). However, we only spent 45 minutes there, which he told us was less than the bigger groups usually do. After a quick stop for a picturesque location, we went to a winery. We were told we had 30 minutes for a wine tasting. The wine came with snacks, and the tour operator told us we were taking too long. Rushed back to the van. Then on to the black sand beach and lunch. We were told we had an hour for lunch as our driver needed to be back for another tour. Again, Santorini is lovely, but overall, we really didn’t enjoy this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Janine , thank you for your review , we are really sad that the tour didnt leave you satisied. This is a custom tour and the tour guide asked you what would you like to do in the 5 hours tour. We would like to inform you that this is high season for us and we have too much traffic and there are distances between the destinations. Your tour guide tried to manage the time in order you to see the places that you asked for. Thank you in advance.

Amazing Santorini Tour

Jeffrey_B, Jul 2023

Stephano was our guide, and talking to him is like talking to someone you’ve known. Very friendly, informative, jokes around, personable, and the best part is he’ll do whatever you want to do since it’s customized and private with just our group of 11, although he will give suggestions of the best sites to see, ones that are difficult to reach (many stairs), etc., so we let him suggest because he knows best, and then we took out a couple things and added in a Santo Winery visit, and extra time in Oia for shopping. We went to Black Beach, Three Bells of Fira, town of Oia, etc. Tour was awesome, Santorini is amazing, and then to have an amazing guide on top of that, who will take pics for you, etc…couldn't ask for more. Oh, and you get picked up in a very nice, air conditioned mini bus…do yourself a favor and book the tour!!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Jeffrey , thank you so much for your great review , we are really happy that you enjoyed the tour and we hope to see you again

Phenomenal Santorini Toir - Thank You Jenny!

Jennifer_D, Jul 2023

Jenny was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to guide use through all of the sites while avoiding major crowds. There were sun people but felt like we were always ahead of or against traffic. Also able to have a great mix of must see spots, More traditional local stops, and the archeological site. Can’t thank her enough or picture doing it without ph her.

Lily was such a fantastic host for us. She had an extensive knowledge of the island and was able to give us a tour that left us with such great memories. We even got to go by her home and meet her parents!! 10/10. Can’t recommend enough. I should also mention Stelios our driver was also invaluable. He navigated the busy roads and took us to all the best spots!

This was awesome. We had a fantastic time and we were able to see so much more of Santorini than expected. Very informative. It was nice that it was also really flexible and we could see the sites and places we wanted to and spend as much time there as we wanted.

We are so thankful for his recommendations and how he pacled the tour with the most we could see and do! We can't wait to come back and do a full day custom tour with him again!

Most AMAZING experience EVER!!!

Joshua_H, May 2023

We had the BEST time traveling with Stelios and Jenny! We got to see parts of the island that you will never get to see on a normal cruise excursion and we didn’t have to deal with any crowds or standing in line. Our day was better than we ever could have hoped for and we became very good friends with our guides. We were sad to say goodbye at the end! They know the best spots for amazing pictures and we have some incredible photos that will last a lifetime. We will absolutely be back! If you are going during peak season give yourself 2 hours between your ship docking and the start of the tour! (Tender lines, gondola lines are extremely long, 1-2 hours). Thanks again we love you guys!!
