"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. "

Great 4 hour highlights private tour
"Apostolis arrived for hotel pick up on time, and was very patient as we were 20 mins late due to time mix up on our part. It was notable, and very pleasing that we were given this time back at the end of the scheduled tour time allowing us to visit the monastery per Apostolis' suggestion. Highlight of the trip was to Oia which we were able to see at our own pace but with Apostilis there to quietly advise and inform. It was also great to visit Santo Wines for wine tasting which again we were able to do at our own pace while Apostolis waited in the car. A couple of other viewpoints added to the enjoyment of the half day. Overall Apostolis did a great job, very knowledgeable, drove really well, great clean and comfortable vehicle too, and was also very flexible to what what we wanted to do but also made recommendations. Would recommend. "

fantastic
"Loved our guide! She was so patient with our young kids and liked their questions. Was so glad we used our own guide instead of a larger group session as it cut down on the wait lines for all the attractions and best picture spots. She was able to drive us quickly around the whole island without feeling like we missed anything. Was a great conversationalist and appreciated the personalization of the tour. Highly recommend!"

Review about Kostas
"This was an amazing tour!! Kostas, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing! So very knowledgeable! And so very personable and funny! He taught us so much history, but also kept us laughing the entire day. He was so kind and generous with his time. The highlights were awesome, many picture taking opportunities. He took us to an amazing restaurant by the black sand beach, and was willing to wait for us and give us extra time to enjoy the meal and the water! This experience was definitely worth the price and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Santorini! Also, I would like to comment that he was always so very quickly responsive to any of my messages. And he was also very helpful and helping me navigate the process of getting off of our cruise ship and Getting tender tickets. Little details that I had no idea about but he was so very helpful in all of these things. I greatly appreciate you Kostas! Thank you for such an amazing experience!"
"Apostolis was fantastic, he was super friendly. Took us around Santorini and showed us some great views"
