From start to finish this is one awesome private tour. Michael our driver and tour guide was very friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable and passionate about his home, Santorini. We had the best experience. You stop at all the picturesque viewpoints and after you have got your photos, Michael happily clicks heaps of photos of you. Oia the most photographed location in Santorini was just delightful to walk around with a local who knows all the good places. On this tour we explored Firostefani, Oia, Profitis Ilias, Megalochori, Faros Lighthouse, Red Beach and Black Beach. We had lunch at Forty One at Black Beach. A totally awesome day out. You won’t be disappointed if you book this private tour.

Booked this private tour as a way form my husband and I to see the island. Theodore was our tour guide - he was amazing & knowledgeable. He modified the tour to fit our needs and interests. In 4 hours we were able to see a lookout point over Oia, and scenic points in Imerovigli, Firostefani, & Fira. We went to both the Red & Black sand beaches, the tallest point of the island, and Santos winery. Our guide knew ppl most places we went, so that helped to facilitate getting us in and out quickly. Of note - because we were staying in Oia, we intentionally asked to exclude it from the tour. However, Theo still went above and beyond to give insider knowledge about where to go to take the best pictures in town, etc. He was also ready and willing to double as our photographer throughout the day, which was so kind!

Michael picked us up at our hotel in a clean, spacious van. He brought the infant car seat I requested. I had a few ideas of where I wanted to visit but asked for suggestions. We spent the next four hours visiting the blue domes, a lighthouse, the highest point on the island, the monastery a black sand beach and more. He was a great tour guide and it was the perfect way to see lots of Santorini. I highly recommend this tour.

Michael was amazing showing us the island and discussed everything in details.Santorini was breathtaking

Santorini is like no other...Michael, our guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable. Communication with him at Kallisti was amazing. I had read so many nightmare tales of not being able to find the guide because you have to travel up the lift to Fira...Michael made it as smooth as butter before, during and after. Santorini and its history and beauty were provided with such a personal touch. The best!

We had the best day touring Santorini with Michael. He showed up right on time and was super flexible with the itinerary we had in mind. The van was roomy, clean, the temperature was just right and we had plenty of water to help us stay hydrated. We visited Firostefani and Michael took some amazing photos for us. The view was spectacular. We then we went to the village of Pyrgos and loved all of the little places to shop on the hill in the caves. It was uncrowded and so unique and original. We got to walk through a castle and see many beautiful buildings. The view was pretty great too. Next we went to Monastery of Pirofitis. Wow! This was the highest point of Santorini. We were able to go into a church and light candles and say a blessing in front of a beautiful mural of sister Mary. We headed over to red beach and that was an incredible sight. Michael was able to capture some of our favorite photos of us there. We also saw a beautiful church along the hillside of red rock. Next we went to Santo Winery. The wine tasting and food was just what we needed to end a perfect day touring Santorini. The view at the winery was absolute perfection. I can not say enough about this tour. Having a private local who we adored show us all around and never once rushing us was so worth the money spent. We learned so much about the villages, and way of life in Santorini thanks to Michael. 5 Stars!!!!!

Michael was very knowledgeable, taking us to all the places was hoping to see. A bit pricy, but wouldn't have found 1/2 these places on our own and worth not having to drive those crazy streets!

Wonderful day exploring Santorini with Nicholas! He was an excellent driver and guide with fantastic suggestions for restaurants and wineries. Ezra

Kallisti Tours went above and beyond for our group. It was private and took us away from the larger cruise excursions, which I strongly recommend. They assisted us with lunch reservations and it was tailored to our needs. I cannot speak enough about how amazing our guide was. He was very dedicated and informative. If you are headed to Santorini whether cruise or staying, consider this company.

What an amazing half-day tour we enjoyed with Theodore! We saw so much of the island in a short time. We were in awe of the sites of Santorini. We visited Firostefani. shopped in Oia, saw the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and took a snack break at Forty One at Black Sand Beach. Try the tomato fritters, wine leaves, and the local wine. We would highly recommend Kallisti Tours. Ask for Theodore. He will show you the hidden treasures of the island at a leisurely pace.

We really enjoyed the insights to the island and history of the beautiful island. Michael was very informative and personable. The 6 hours went by so quickly and Michael did his best to make sure we saw as much as possible.

Our guide was fantastic. I have to admit our group was a little difficult. We ranged in ages from 40-70 and had competing interests. Our guide Theodore somehow found a way to make everyone happy! He took some people to villages, others to the beach club and did a great job dealing with what I will admit was a challenging group. I highly recommend!

The tour is one of the best experience during the trip in Santorini, our tour guy Mr. Sodori lives in Santorini so he knows all the beautiful places with breathtaking view, and there wasn’t many tourists! I don’t need to wait in line to take a picture with the blue dome, I can feel free to take as many photos as I want. The van is comfortable, he even prepared iced water for us, small detail but very important, in such a hot weather! I would like to recommend to all for their service!

We did a half day tour, which lasted about 5 hours. Great experience. The car was clean and comfortable, and our driver/guide -- Michael -- was so engaging and accommodating. He had a suggested itinerary when we met, and adjusted everything based on our preferences. We visited the beaches, Profiti Ilia, Akrotiri, Firostefani, and finished the day with a wine tasting at Santos Winery ... at a table with a spectacular view, which Michael had arranged. We stayed in Oia, and had done the Caldera hike from Fira to Oia the day prior to this tour, so Michael knew to skip those areas we had already seen. Great day.

Michael our tour guide was super knowledgeable and friendly. Michael gave us a wonderful tour around the whole island and hit all the highlights. He took us to a local spot for lunch which was fabulous!

Michael with Kallisti Tours was amazing. He picked us up on time. Asked what we wanted to see made a plan, and we were off... We saw so much, monastery was beautiful, lighthouse picturesque, and the restuarant at the black sands beach was one of the most delicious places we ate in all so santorini... thank you Michael for making of last day in Santorini memorable...

We reserved a full day tour and had a wonderful time. We gave Kallisti a list of places we researched that we wanted to visit and they took care of the rest including reservations. Michael was our driver. He was knowledgeable and friendly and took us to all the best spots around Santorini. We had wine with a view, lunch with a view, a tour of Oia, and he even took pictures for us at sunset. Michael was a great driver. If you have a whole day in Santorini, Kallisti tours is the way to see it.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all the sites we saw and kept customizing the itinerary as he got to know us better during the six hours. He made our day in Santorini all that we dreamed it would be.

Theo was the best! He went above and beyond to show us not only the best of Santorini but he was so much fun and knew all the best tips to make sure our experience was unique. Thanks Theo, we loved every minute of our tour!

Our tour guide, Theodore, was a fantastic emissary for Santorini. We saw the best of the island and some areas that may not be a typical tourist attraction. Kallisti Tours, and Theodore, we’re very easy to work with. Would do it again.
