In my opinion one of the better ways to see the island. Amazing views, beautiful sunset and a very attentive driver and guide.

Had a nice experience with John our guide. John's expertise and passion for guiding really shone through during the tour. His in-depth knowledge of the sights and destinations, coupled with his friendly demeanor, created a fantastic atmosphere. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable experience, offering insightful commentary and interesting anecdotes along the way. It truly made the tour both informative and enjoyable.
John's warmth and patience in interacting with children, added an extra layer of enjoyment to the tour. He took the time to engage with her, answering her curious questions and even tailoring parts of the tour to capture her interest. Parents traveling with kids can rest assured that John will not only provide an informative and entertaining experience for adults but will also make sure that the little ones feel welcomed and included every step of the way.

We had an amazing tour with Bill (our guide & driver). He’s very knowledgeable and super nice. We learnt lots of history and got good pictures. We were able to cover every places that we want to go during the 6-hr private tour. Highly recommended this tour!
The owner (Nick) is also super nice. He drove us to the airport the next day, and allowed us to change the timing as the plan changed due to the bad weather.

Absolutely fabulous!!! Worth every penny of what we spent on this tour.
The tour was catered to what my family and I wanted, we were provided with a guide, Athena, who was brilliant, I can not faulted her for anything. She was knowledgable for every aspect, she spoke to us at the start of where we wanted to go, she recommended some very good sites to visit. The bonus was, she also knew the best spots to shop, which was useful to a group of women on tour.
My initial contact Nick, was fantastic. His communication skills were phenomenal. He responded quickly questions, told me which port to be, even looked at some extra that I needed for example the best place for water taxis etc. he was brilliant!! I couldn’t have asked for a better operator.
He made this completely bespoke to what was originally the plan. I must have messaged him 1000 times and each reply was patiently answered. Down from the very first communication , months before I travelled, to sending me pictures of my transport to the very end on the day of the tour.
Highly recommended!!!

We booked this through our hotel who recommended it and we thought it would be more than it actually was, given the price. This is not a proper guided tour as advertised but is rather a private car hire where the driver just takes you to all the hotspots and then leaves you to roam around in each of them yourself. The car was a nice Mercedes which is basically what they are charging you for.
Honestly, you can just go to all of these places yourself on the bus for much cheaper. Other organised coach tours take you to the same places, yes it wont be private but it will be exactly the same places with other people present and it will be an actual guided tour.
Our driver did not do much guiding at all, when he arrived he asked us what we want to see and we were confused as he should have had an itinerary to follow. Also, there aren't even any entrance fees to pay in these locations, so the high price is not justified. I would not recommend.

This was a really great private tour of Santorini. We were on a cruise, and one of our ports of call was Santorini. We decided to hire a private driver/tour guide to take us to see the entire island at our convenience. My husband and I were able to easily arrange the driver with Nick, who was super helpful and accommodating to our special wishes for the day. Our driver Nikolas was awesome. He was easy-going and knowledgeable about the island. He took us to all the spots we wanted to see, even waited for us as we took a swim and had a drink at Perissa Beach. He even booked a beautiful restaurant for a sunset dinner at Oia. Nikolas went above and beyond. We highly recommend Greece Holiday Tours! It was a memorable and special day for us. Thank you, Nick and Nikolas!

110% recommend this activity and especially with Nick (our driver/guide). Nick arrived early and waited for us to finish our breakfast before heading out to visit Santorini. He even asked what we’ve seen and adjusted our tour accordingly. We were able to learn about Santorini and took a lot of photos. Nick even offered to take photos for us! Nick even took us to a lunch spot on Black Beach and the view from our table was spectacular. The venue he chose (we asked him to select for us) had amazing seafood and for a good price. So if you have young children or an elderly parent traveling - do not hesitate to book this tour. You’ll thank yourself later. Oh! And one more thing about Nick: we asked for a last minute sunset cruise for our party and he made it happen. It was great and he made sure we were picked up and dropped off. So please ask for Nick!

This is definitely the right choice - Nicola is so friendly and knowledgeable. HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. The tour is customised depending on your needs. The car is brand new and comfortable. He also gives me advice on what I should do in Santorini
I booked a traditional boat for the next day and it was cancelled. Within a min, Nicola helped to sort it out with another provider which is cheaper and better (I have to say, he is well connected. He even gives me advice on where I should stay in Athens!)
He took me to various places with detailed explanation/ background introduction.
