We cannot begin to tell you how much we recommend hiring Markos if you plan to visit Santorini. It was the highlight of our trip. Markos was recommended to us by friends who had recently visited, and we were not disappointed. From the second you meet Markos; you immediately know he’s going to take care of you and make your day special.
My wife worked with Markos prior to arriving to see if he could arrange a tour for a group of 12. He made it easy securing a beautiful Mercedes van that could accommodate us easily and comfortably. We started our day with a walking tour of the small town Oia which included eating gelato at Lolita’s, a must do when you are there. Markos then took us to his home village away from all the iconic areas of Santorini to show us the true culture of Santorini life. It was quiet and peaceful, and it gave Markos time to educate us in the history of Santorini and how people actually live there on the island. He gives a lot of insight into his life and his family. This really gave us a great understanding of Greek culture and what it’s like to live in Greece. It was very special. After the tour of his village, he took us to the ruins of Akrotiri, which was extremely interesting and educational. After this, our group was hungry and VERY thirsty. Markos did not disappoint! He had already prearranged for us to visit a local restaurant on the black sand beaches of Santorini. The people at the restaurant were expecting us and we were provided VIP service during the entire experience, we were treated like rock stars. The setting could not have been better. Be sure to have Markos recommend some wines. The wines from Santorini are the best. After lunch we were taken back to the town of Fira which was a great place to end our tour.
Markos, we personally want to thank you again for creating an experience for us and our friends that we will not forget. Your enthusiasm, your passion, your love for your family and for what you do every day to bring a little joy into someone’s life is truly special. Remember what we said, if you ever get to the States, you have a place to stay in Florida!
Sincerely,
Lance & Lorie Howerton

We had a wonderful time with Markos. He shared numerous stories, fun facts and the history of Santorini. We had the best gelato in Oia and an amazing lunch on the beach. We explored a small town away from the busier tourist spots. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Markos.

We LOVED this tour and highly recommend it to anyone going to Santorini!
Marcos is very knowledgeable about Santorni & it’s history. He’s quite personable & fun to be around. We were able to experience local neighborhoods, along with typical tourist sites.
Markos also took us to a local Greek beach restaurant that had excellent food with a beautiful view!
We can’t say enough good things about this tour… you absolutely must choose this one while in Santorini!!

Booking direct on I am Santorini was easy. All tours were explained. We chose the Taste of Everything.
Markos messaged me the day before to confirm pick up.
Markos makes the tour, he is passionate, knowledgeable and fun. He goes beyond what we expected, taking us to places of interest and hidden gems on the island.
I would definitely recommend this tour, plus he does other tours too.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Markos. He was extremely attentive to our needs and very kind hearted. He told us about and showed us lots of Santorini- hot spots at the perfect time, and the quieter parts of town with no tourists. Markos is a lovely person who really cares for his guests and is passionate about his work. A very comfortable car too. Would highly recommend a day with Markos. Thanks again. Lynda and family 🩵🇬🇷

I did a lot of research leading up to our time in Santorini to find the right tour that would cover what we wanted to see, with the budget we had in mind, and with someone who we felt we would want to spend the day with. I knew right away from Markos' emails that he was the one for us! He was so kind, accommodating, and with a great sense of humour. On the day of our tour, everything ran perfectly - and we had the best day! Even my two sons loved it - and they are not always big fans of touring around all day in a car with us. Markos was so good at keeping them engaged and making sure that they, too, got what they wanted from the tour. SO many laughs were had as we drove around. The next day, our kids actually said they missed Markos! Highly recommend spending your day with Markos!

This was our first time visiting Santorini, Greece and Europe in general. Not wanting to deal with overcrowded cruise tours, we decided to take a private tour. Referred to “tours by locals” we came across Marcos. Needless to say it was an amazing experience from our fist conversation over email to the moment he dropped us off at the pier. Marcos was not only knowledgeable on the history of the island but he was knew where to take us to site see, shop, and eat. Very humble, kind, professional, on other words a real family man who made us feel welcomed throughout our entire private excursion with him. If you ever visit Santorini and want to have an amazing private tour, I strongly recommend reaching out to Marcos!
