- Jacques M.29 Apr 2026 5.0Well worth doing
We were very fortunate to have Kostas as our driver and tour guide. He was fantastic and we got to see many places all around the beautiful island of Santorini. The mini van was clean and luxurious. He took us to an authentic local restaurant for us to lunch. The food, service and staff could not do enough for us. The restaurant is called Galini and I would rate it 12 out of 10. Whilst we book a 6 hour trip this was not enough and suggest you book at least 8 hours if you want a full experience. We over ran our time by nearly 3 hours and were happy to pay for the extra time. I highly recommended this tour to anyone visiting Santorini. , A great experience!, Excellent!, Well organized!, A must do!

We had the best time! Our guide Dimitris was outstanding. He took us all over in a nice, air-conditioned van. He took us to a local beach club for lunch as that is what we wanted to do. He was open to take us where we wanted to go and took us to the best spots with amazing views! I highly recommend this tour! Wonderful experience!
