Markis is amazing! His knowledge and passion are so obvious and he planned our trip so that we fit an unbelievable amt into 4 hours. We’ll be recommending him to all of our friends who travel to Santorini as well as to our travel agent.

Markus was very informative, honest, and tailored the tour to our exact request and suggested other items we didnt know about. His wine tour with art was so personal and fun. Price was also extremely reasonable

Our group of 6 had a wonderful experience with Makis. He was a wonderful tour guide. He has a true passion for his family and hometown. He made our trip very memorable. Seeing the sunset was so special to me due to personal reasons. I am so grateful I got to have that moment. I recommend Makis to anyone looking for a great guide. Thank you so much for spending your day with us!!!

Makis made our trip to Santorini absolutely unforgettable. My boyfriend and I visited Santorini as a part of our cruise and my dad is the one who recommended Makis’ tour. As a true local, he was able to give us an incredibly detailed guided tour around Santorini. We were able to cover the highlights of the island from black beach, a beautiful winery and the incredible Oia in just six hours. We are so grateful to have Makis showing us around and his recommendations were always spot on and with the limited amount of time we had, he was able to show us a fantastic day. Thank you, Makis for such an incredible day.
The only recommendation I have to others who are meeting for their tour at the top of the cable car, get there two hours earlier than you think, maybe three on busier days. The line was incredibly long and the cable car takes only so many at a time, we waited in line for an hour and a half and we were lucky to get through so quickly.
Within three days, I was already recommending this tour to other travelers. Our experience was absolutely worth every moment. Thank you for such an incredibly insightful and amazing tour!

03/16/23 We had an amazing private full-island tour of Santorini by the owner of Santorini Magical Travel , Makis Gajrilis ! We were picked up by our villa at 10 am and we’re together for 5 hours. We rode in a comfortable Mercedes sedan. Makis was a most excellent tour guide with passion for Santorini as a many generational full Santorinian and unparalleled knowledge of the island, it’s history, culture, food, and present day. He tells lots of fascinating stories in perfect fluent English and speaks very clearly. He is a gracious host and opens doors for his customers and we made coffee and food stops for sustenance. Even though there was a national strike today with many attractions closed, he was able to improvise with flexibility and provide us with other activities and places to see with suggestions and getting our in put. Makis is the guide you should get for your small or larger group tour! He will help you with all aspects of your visit to Santorini ! You will be happy and most satisfied ! Thank you Makis of Santorini Magical Travel!

Amazing tour! Makis is a Santorini native and provided an outstanding and comprehensive tour of the island. His experience and insights definitely made it a day to remember! Our three adult children (ages 18-25) loved the frequent stops and expert commentary. We highly recommend this tour!

If you want to truly experience Santorini and all it has to offer as well as its amazing history, then you need a private tour with Makis! He made our Santorini visit the favorite of the entire trip to Greece. He not only took us to the most iconic sights but gave us the history behind each one.
Then took us to a very swanky, relaxing, beautiful beach bar in black beach, 41- Forty One, Where the food, service, atmosphere and people were absolutely amazing!!! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Santorini!
Followed by the most breath taking place to watch the infamous sunset of Santorini, Santo Wines.
Our group cannot say enough about this private tour, and how lucky we were to have such an incredible guide! We so enjoyed spending the day getting to know not only Santorini but Makis as well.
When booking your trip to this beautiful island, you will need Makis to bring it all together, to make your experience as amazing as ours was.
Again we thank you and will never forget our day in Santorini!!!!
Much Love to you and your family,
P & P Smith
