We had the best day touring Santorini with Michael. He showed up right on time and was super flexible with the itinerary we had in mind. The van was roomy, clean, the temperature was just right and we had plenty of water to help us stay hydrated. We visited Firostefani and Michael took some amazing photos for us. The view was spectacular. We then we went to the village of Pyrgos and loved all of the little places to shop on the hill in the caves. It was uncrowded and so unique and original. We got to walk through a castle and see many beautiful buildings. The view was pretty great too. Next we went to Monastery of Pirofitis. Wow! This was the highest point of Santorini. We were able to go into a church and light candles and say a blessing in front of a beautiful mural of sister Mary. We headed over to red beach and that was an incredible sight. Michael was able to capture some of our favorite photos of us there. We also saw a beautiful church along the hillside of red rock. Next we went to Santo Winery. The wine tasting and food was just what we needed to end a perfect day touring Santorini. The view at the winery was absolute perfection. I can not say enough about this tour. Having a private local who we adored show us all around and never once rushing us was so worth the money spent. We learned so much about the villages, and way of life in Santorini thanks to Michael. 5 Stars!!!!!

Michael was very knowledgeable, taking us to all the places was hoping to see.
A bit pricy, but wouldn't have found 1/2 these places on our own and worth not having to drive those crazy streets!

Kallisti Tours went above and beyond for our group. It was private and took us away from the larger cruise excursions, which I strongly recommend. They assisted us with lunch reservations and it was tailored to our needs. I cannot speak enough about how amazing our guide was. He was very dedicated and informative. If you are headed to Santorini whether cruise or staying, consider this company.

What an amazing half-day tour we enjoyed with Theodore! We saw so much of the island in a short time. We were in awe of the sites of Santorini. We visited Firostefani. shopped in Oia, saw the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and took a snack break at Forty One at Black Sand Beach. Try the tomato fritters, wine leaves, and the local wine. We would highly recommend Kallisti Tours. Ask for Theodore. He will show you the hidden treasures of the island at a leisurely pace.

We really enjoyed the insights to the island and history of the beautiful island. Michael was very informative and personable. The 6 hours went by so quickly and Michael did his best to make sure we saw as much as possible.

Our guide was fantastic. I have to admit our group was a little difficult. We ranged in ages from 40-70 and had competing interests. Our guide Theodore somehow found a way to make everyone happy! He took some people to villages, others to the beach club and did a great job dealing with what I will admit was a challenging group. I highly recommend!

The tour is one of the best experience during the trip in Santorini, our tour guy Mr. Sodori lives in Santorini so he knows all the beautiful places with breathtaking view, and there wasn’t many tourists! I don’t need to wait in line to take a picture with the blue dome, I can feel free to take as many photos as I want. The van is comfortable, he even prepared iced water for us, small detail but very important, in such a hot weather! I would like to recommend to all for their service!

We did a half day tour, which lasted about 5 hours. Great experience. The car was clean and comfortable, and our driver/guide -- Michael -- was so engaging and accommodating. He had a suggested itinerary when we met, and adjusted everything based on our preferences. We visited the beaches, Profiti Ilia, Akrotiri, Firostefani, and finished the day with a wine tasting at Santos Winery ... at a table with a spectacular view, which Michael had arranged. We stayed in Oia, and had done the Caldera hike from Fira to Oia the day prior to this tour, so Michael knew to skip those areas we had already seen. Great day.
