Santorini First Impressions Private Tour

Sabine was amazing!! We loved having the freedom to choose our tour, we visited the black sand beach, Fira, megalochori, the monastery at pyrgos, etc. Sabine was so knowledgeable and taught us the history of the island and it's wonderful people?

Ted was very professional and took us to every corner of the island. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Santorini.
The highlight of the tour was lunch in Akrotiri at The Dolphin where we had a seaside table.
It was also a pleasure to finally meet Kathrin, the owner of Santorini Experts, whom we had been dealing with for over 3 years.
Wonderful memories!

A private tour is always how we start our visit to a new place. For us, we came to Santorini to check a box and say we've been. After our tour, we realized Santorini is quite a bit more than awful crowds in Oai. It is a beautiful island rich in history and full of small towns that are more authentic and the landscape is much more than a sunset picture. Our wonderful guide and proprietor of Santorini Experts, Kathrin, did a phenomenal job of showing us exactly what we were looking for - a true locals perspective and tour. Kathrin is a highly professional, intuitive and fun guide, and the personal connection you have on a private tour makes all the difference in the world. I would not hesitate to book another tour with her if we are ever in Santorini again (which is unlikely).

We only had a day and night in Santorini so we wanted an intensive tour of the island. Simone and our driver Nicos were outstanding and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of Santorini.

Kathryn was wonderful to work with and very detail oriented. She planned a full day for our group of 11 to maximize our day. This included arranging a private water taxi and catamaran experience followed by a tour of the island in the afternoon with a wonderful guide.

Eventhough we were late due to the crowd waiting for cable car. We were able to visit the major sites and eat at restaurant for dessert. . Our driver is great! She can maneuver around small streets that bus will not able to get through. I reccomend using private tour to personalize your itinerary.

Catherine was a great tour guide and I would very highly recommend this tour. Santorini is a spectacular island to visit but it was very busy with a lot of cruise ship passengers. I was glad we booked this tour ahead of time. Catherine spoke flawless english, was personable, friendly and very knowledgable. I liked how this tour could be personalized and I requested beforehand to go to a snorkeling spot (we brought masks and snorkels for the kids). She took us to the monestery, city of Oia and Amoundi Bay for snorkeling. The views from the monestery (highest point of the rim of the volcano) were very impressive but if I could do it again I would possibly skip the monestery so we could spend more time in Oia and snorkeling. All the adults enjoyed this tour very much and Catherine's company but this was by far my daughters favorite tour because of the snorkeling. Amoudi Bay was too difficult for the older adults to get to, but there were great restaurants on the shore for them to enjoy. The path was no problem for my daughters and they had a great time snorkeling with the fish and jumping off the church on St Nicholas rock.
By the way, we arrived on a large cruise ship so it took quite a while to get to the top (and back to the bottom). Elderly members of our party could not make the donkey trail so they had to wait in the long line for the cable car. If possible I would recommend taking the trail so you get more time to enjoy the island.

This was ann excellent introductory tour to Santorini and the perfect way to start our time on the island. We visited the highest point of the island and then worked our way down to explore Pyrgos, the medieval kasteli. After that we spent a short time exploring Kamari, a black lava sand beach, before heading to a private wine tasting at Estate Argyros. We then drove to Oia and explored its iconic Main Street, blue-domed churches, and breathtaking scenic views. Our guide dropped us off at the end of the tour in Fira to explore on our own. It was the perfect first day in Santorini! Great communication on front end, reasonable pricing, a knowledgeable guide, and comfortable transport.

We took a private tour, so it was just my husband and myself. Agatha was our tour guide and she was amazing. She took us to the main highlights, and was flexible based on what we wanted to do. My husband cannot do a lot of walking or steps so she tailored this tour specifically for us. This was exactly what we need to get an overview of Santorini.

A recent business trip to Athens brought back memories from a few years when my wife and I travelled to Greece. I thought this commentary could be important given that we truly have found memories of Santorini. Breathtaking views from the cliffs of Thera, great wine tasting at Santo vineyard, and so much more. Santorini is very touristic so target months that are less hectic (April, May, September, October).
