Santorini is my dream vacation and thank you for the private tour guide by Thedore. The tour only have 2 of us and before we started the trip he communicates with us about the places we want to visits and make sure we are okay with it. I don't mind paying for the private tour so we can explore the island at our own pace and have time to take lots of pictures. Thedore help us took lots of pictures, I mean not just 1 or 2 , more like 10-20 🤣 each amazing spot he will offered to take picture for us. I loved it. You can tell he love the island and went to make sure we enjoy the island as well. Each stop he will explained all the history and details. And the lunch spot he took us at the black sand beach was amazing (Forty One) good recommendations and we stopped by the winery and visited the winery museum. We stop by the highest point of the village and so much more... We ended our day at the secret sunset spot which is so amazing and no crowd at all. Thank you for all the details and accomendation. I'm a frequent traveler and can appreciate the top services when I paid extra for the private tour. I'm truly happy about this tour and can not ask for more. Thank you again ThedoreJohnnyC897

On top of Santorini being a relaxing and beautiful place to be ,at the private tour we took with Theodore was excellent, he took the time to show and tell us stories about the history of certain places and also showed us some of the best places to eat gyros and wine ( which I bought a few ) and the highlight of the trip was the track up the mountain to see the castle and take pictures, which if you need a person who will get all angles it’s Theodore. Had a great time and can’t wait to come back !!!
