Great tour of Santorini . Stavros was nice. Took us for a tour all around the town and gave us a good feel for santorini . It was also good to have a tour that was personalized to our needs . We went to Oia , Akrotiri, small villages around (very cute ). If you aren’t interested in the wine tour ( we don’t drink ), consider personalizing and consider doing Oia on a different trip since you can do that on your own. All in all, highly recommend .We did the full day private tour with Demetrius. We could not be more impressed. He had intimate knowledge of the Island and helped us pick the places that we visited. I would give the tour more than 5 stars.

I would highly recommend this tour! Dimitras our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and made it a great day. The tour was completely customized and the driver/guide was flexible as the day progressed. He recommended many things and tailored the day based on what we wanted to see. We went all over the island and stopped for lunch at a great spot along the black beach. 6 hours felt like the right amount of time. I would highly recommend!
