A wonderful day with Kostos
"We were a family of three adults and two children. Kostos picked us up in a large van, right on time, and immediately made us laugh. We spent a good part of the day with him, traveling around the island of Santorini, learning about the history, and visiting, not only the most popular sites, but many off the beaten track views. He took us to a fabulous place for lunch, right on the black sand beach, where there were hardly any tourists. The food was spectacular and we ate way too much, with each item more delicious than the one before. The whole day was spent being educated and laughing. Kostos is smart, funny, and made the day incredibly special. Our 9 and 11-year-olds especially enjoyed every moment. One might ask why you need a guide in Santorini. The answer is there is so much to see and so much to learn that we never could’ve done on our own. And Kostos was the perfect choice. He also recommended restaurants for our three nights here for dinner, and each one was a pearl of a find. He never steered us wrong. Thank you, Kostos for making our stay in Santorini so much more special."
"Our 18 year old girls were thrilled to meet Aphrodite. She showed us all the best places for their Instagram photos, & she took us to the most fantastic gelato shop for our pistachio fix! It was so easy to communicate with Aphrodite before & during our tour, & we will look her up next time we are in Santorini!"

Magical day in Santorini!
"Aphrodite is a terrific guide! She is full smiles, great energy and so much interesting information about Santorini! She thought of every detail! We learned so much about the island, its history and culture while feeling comfortable and safe. Highly recommended!!!"
"We were so pleased and impressed with Aphrodite's knowledge of the island, greek culture and history. She took personal time with us to answer questions, gave us options and choices so that we really felt like the tour was personal to us. I would highly recommend her as a guide on your next trip to Santorini."
"The whole day was exceptional. We had a late meeting due to tender from ship and cable car being slow but George waited and was very understanding. Although booking was with Apostolis, George turned up with driver Nick (Mr Volcano)
They were both polite, knowledgeable and experienced, avoiding traffic jams and crowds. We felt extremely safe, comfortable & relaxed. They showed us places we would never have seen or otherwise would have been crowded out. They work hard at providing a professional service and try their hardest to accommodate and make you feel relaxed. We had a great day chatting with George who has great knowledge on many subjects for one so young. Don’t hesitate to book with them, I doubt you will find a better guided experience with 2 such real nice guys. Good luck with your marriage George, no doubt the organisation will be exceptional & original

The best of Santorini
"Apostolis was our tour guide for the island of Santorini Greece.
We spent the entire day with him. He showed us the island from one end to the other. He explained the history of the island and took us to Hideaway places. He was friendly, courteous, and very professional, yet personable.
We had the best time with him and would highly recommend him for any tour you’re going to take of the island!"

Santorini at its best!
"Aphrodite was a wealth of information as she drove us around her island. It was both educational and entertaining. She catered to what we were interested in. We highly recommend using her as your guide if you’re ever in the area!"
"We booked a tour with Apostolis for the Highlights and Gems of Santorini by Car for 8 people (family and friends). Unfortunately, Apostolis was ill on the day of our tour so he had one of his colleagues, Agnes lead the tour along with a driver. They met us at the top of the cable car as we were visiting Santorini via a cruise ship. This all day tour took us to both ends of the island, walking through Oia, visiting both Black Beaches, Red Beach, famous temples and the highest place on the island, a Monastery. As we were a larger group, it would have been helpful to have whisperers. I highly recommend this tour. We visited in late October so it was definitely less crowded and the weather was excellent."

Amazing Tour
"Agnis is amazing. We had no real plans or ideas, but she took us to the most beautiful spots. It was easy & fun. Both the driver, Nick & Agni were so kind & easy going. Highly recommend going to Oia, Red beach, Black Beach, lunch at Forty one for the most delicious beach front meal and finished in Fira. "
