My 74 year old mother and my brother did a private guided trip with Santorini road trips. Our guide Thanos was very accomodating and took really good care of us especially making sure my mom could get in and out of the Mercedes van carefully. We went to a little town I dont know how to spell, Akortiri pre historic museum, Black sand beach, Red sand beach, and our favourite stop was a little Winery called Faros which also sells local produce and we had a wonderful lunch plus wine tasting. The owner of the place introduced us to her family and it was such a refreshing experience after being in busy Fira. Would recommend this trip to anyone especially the guide Thanos. Overall an awesome experience.

This trip was my husband and another couple, our dear friends. Our tour guides George and Alex were great! They took care of us in so many ways..sites, food, took our pictures just to name a few. We met as strangers and parted ways as family. Truly genuine gentlemen!

Vasili was an organized guide and excellent driver. He prioritized the areas I was interested in seeing and suggested others he thought would be of interest. Initially I had a little difficulty understanding him but that desolved as the day went on. Highly recommend this tour.

Oh my goodness! We just got back from our 5 hour tour with Thanos and to say it was exceptional, is an understatement! We were picked up at our hotel and Thanos was so kind and welcoming. To say we felt like we were family visiting his home is an understatement. He arrived in a Mercedes van and it was clean and pristine. He made sure the AC was working properly, that we had water, and that we were comfortable. He always opened the door for us and always ensured our safety which was much appreciated. Over the last several weeks, I have been working with the owner, George, to plan an itinerary of the main items that my husband and I wanted to explore. We did so via messaging on Tripadvisor and George was very helpful at suggesting items and timelines. I went a little crazy and wanted to do EVERYTHING which simply is not possible. The island is quite large and getting from one end to the other takes 30-45 minutes, if not more. So please be understanding of that when planning your itinerary. After George and I solidified our plans, it was all on Thanos to deliver and boy did he. Not only did we do all of the main items on my itinerary, but he also took us to small villages and taught us about the culture and way of life. Megalochori was definitely our favorite and we recommend everyone to explore it! Throughout the 5 hour adventure, Thanos taught us about the caldera, the area, the volcanoes, and even some helpful Greek words. Our last stop was the winery and that was pretty epic. Santos Winery is in the most gorgeous location and their wines are delicious. Thanos gave us an hour to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. We did so with a glass of wine, some cheese, and photos to last a lifetime. I couldn't have asked for a better person to be shown Santorini with! Thanos spoke from the heart and his love for his community radiated from him. It really was such a pleasure. Thank you Thanos! As for you, review reader, this was our itinerary as finalized by George: -Pick up at 10:00 -Megalochori village: 10:30-11:00 -Red beach: 11:15-11:30 -Black beach: 11:50-12:10 -Castelli of Emporio: 12:20-12:50 -Emporio Windmills: 13:00-13:15 -Santo Wines winery: 13:30-14:30 -Drop off at 15:00 We were staying in Oia and had explored Fira the evening prior, so we opted to skip those two villages. However, they are available upon request.

This was an excellent tour!! The whole experience, from the time I booked several months ago, was superb. George provided very timely and excellent support and communication throughout, and Vasili (and partner who he was training) took such great care of us, and gave such personalized narration. We saw and did everything we wanted and more, and 6 hours was a perfect amount of time. I'm so glad we chose this tour and this provider!
