We booked the Santorini Private Sightseeing Tour prior to visiting Santorini by cruise ship. Kallisti Tours had great communication from the minute we booked, and they took away any apprehension we had as first-time visitors to the island. On the day of our visit, we were fortunate enough to get Theo for our guide. He greeted us promptly at the top of the cable car, and from there the experience just got better and better! From the blue domed chapels to the black sand beaches to a spectacular front-row seat at a local winery to view a breathtaking sunset, Theo made sure we had the very best of everything. We sampled local Gyros - and they were the best we had during all of the stops in Greece! We book private tours frequently, and we can honestly say if you are considering this tour, and are fortunate enough to get Theo, you will enjoy one of the best experiences possible!

We opt for private tours when we cruise quite a bit - and this one was by far one of the best we have ever taken. Theo was our guide, and as a life-long native of Santorini he made us feel like we were special guests the whole time. We saw everything, including some of the most spectacular vistas we have ever seen! From the blue domed chapels to the black sand beach, he introduced us to the island and all its charms - we even enjoyed the best authentic Gyros we had during our entire time visiting Greece. Theo capped off the day with amazing seats at the Santo winery with views of the caldera and one of the best sunsets ever. A tip if you arrive by ship: TAKE THE CABLE CAR UP AND BACK DOWN! The path is long and steep, and the donkeys make a mess of it. We made it a point to be first off the ship and had a very short wait going up. BUT, we probably enjoyed the sunset at the winery a bit too long and got back a bit late. The line for the cable car was long and we decided to walk down MISTAKE! It was a challenge avoiding the donkey poop on every step, not to mention a rigorous physical exercise even though we were walking downhill.

Michael was a great tour guide! He was totally flexible in customizing the tour to what we were more interested in. So worth it to have a local to take you around and give you some context for the places you're visiting...and actually it would be worth it just to not have to navigate the roads and the traffic! Michael was very friendly, informative, and patient (when we were getting behind schedule ;) Highlights were Akrotiri, Santo Wines (not originally on the itinerary!) and getting a legit local-approved gyro for lunch in his home village. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get to know the island a little better.

What a great experience. We had a large group and they were able to accommodate all of our interests. We were able to experience some smaller towns for leisure shopping with fewer crowds, relax at the beautiful black beach and went to a fantastic winery at the top of the mountain. Wonderful day and great experiences. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating! Highly recommend! Ann O’
