Your guide will take you to a Greek Christian monastery that is situated at the summit before visiting Pyrgos, where you can explore the narrow streets that lead to the old Venetian castle.

First and foremost, Konstantinos was an excellent guide on the tour. His knowledge of the local history was outstanding. He was always able to answer a question we had, and tailored the discussion based on our interests as the tour progressed (if we could rate him higher than 5 stars we would)! Konstantinos and Alex (our driver) adjusted the tour based on our interests and we were very appreciative of their ability to accommodate us! Alex was a great driver who expertly navigated the challenging conditions in the crowded areas, he also added some information by quizzing us on the local herbs growing around the island. The mini bus was in impeccable shape and very clean upon arrival and throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about booking it as it is definitely worth the cost. To close I would like to say efchristo poly again to Alex and especially Konstantinos for the wonderful tour!
My family and I had the 6-hour private tour on May 1st with Jeannie and driver John. Jeannie is very knowledgeable and friendly.
You have a winning team with them both.
I have spent over 20 years of experience in the travel industry and I looked for a tour guide I would recommend to others. And I made the correct decision.
Thank you for showing my family your beautiful island.
No nos queda nada por ver
Great friendly overview of Santorini in a few short hours
We loved the private tour! Tour guide was the best – she was local and knowledgeable. She took picutures for us…even ones we didn’t know we needed. Driver was safe and friendly. A must-do in Santorini!!
