We really enjoyed this tour around the island of Santorini. Theo, our driver and guide was awesome. I was worried that 4 hours would be too long but the time just flew by. He took us to the more popular sites in Santorini but then we also visited a few "secret" sites that were amazing as well. Such as a quaint village with cave structures to show us how the people lived many many years ago. We went to a working monastery high on the mountain where views were amazing. We walked on the black sand beach and took pictures. We also visited a lighthouse which provided spectacular views of the island. Theo was very knowledgeable about the island and its formation, his information was very interesting. You will see incredible views and have many opportunities for picture taking. Theo is just a great guy and I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time on this trip. Our driver was right on time and had a proposed itinerary for us. He drove us around the island, took us to various sites and was very knowledgeable about each stop. He was flexible with our time and dropped us off at a different point than our pickup with no problem.

Our tour guide was Theo and we had an amazing time with him; he knew Santorini extremely well and not only did he show us all the tourist attractions, he also took us to some of the quieter picturesque viewpoints. He was enthusiastic and informative, ensuring we enjoyed thoroughly! Although we encountered some windy weather, we still managed to cover all the locations and this was by far one of the highlights of our trip - would definitely reccomend this tour.

Wonderful tour. We had a great time on this tour. Theo was incredible. He gave us historical information about the island and a personal perspective on it. He tailored the day trip according to our preferences and was very adaptable. He showed us the village of Pyrgos, the lighthouse, the Caldera cliffs, a delicious lunch at the black beach, a wine tasting, and finished at the town of Fira.

Our driver Gabriel, spoke excellent English. He gave us a great deal of information on the history of Santorini or as it’s also known, Thira.
He took us to a local taverna on the beach for lunch, which was very authentic (I know, because I was born in Greece). My granddaughters (ages 20 & 23), also enjoyed our guide tremendously. He had many anecdotes and a self deprecating sense of humor. We enjoyed the winery, and Fira and the various sites. Would definitely recommend this. Only two negatives (none his fault). The company said they could not pick us up at the hotel and gave us another point. I had challenged it by email but they were insistent because the hotel was in the side of the cliff. As it turned out, there was a parking area very close to it. Gabriel dropped us off at this parking lot on the way back.
The second item was the car had a strong smell of cigarettes. The car was owned by the company, not the driver.

Gabriel, was fantastic! He asked about our interests and took us to the different villages, monastery, picture spots, Akrotiri, and a winery with a gorgeous view. He proactively offered his recommendations but never pressured us to do anything not in line with our interests. Along the way to the sites, he told us stories about the island’s history and other notable things such as the grape basket vines. Our boys (13 and 11) were entertained throughout the tour. There’s only so much you can do in the allotted time so we are saving the rest to do another tour with Gabriel in the future.

Theo, our guide, was so friendly & welcoming! He was most interesting about the history of Santorini & we loved the stunning views through the streets of Fira & Oia, the chic boutiques & shops, the black sand beach and the beautiful view from the monastery high on the mountain. We definitely recommend Theo as a tour guide. We were so pleased, he was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and made our visit to Santorini memorable and most enjoyable!
