Nick was an incredible guide, with tons of knowledge about Santorini and Greek history. We went to several great locations for photographs, and he explained the significance of everything we saw. The winery and the monastery were highlights for us, and we left the tour feeling like we had left no stone unturned on this beautiful island. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for cultural insight as much as picturesque locations.

Our guide, Lydia, was extremely knowledgeable and very kind and helpful. The driver, Alex, was very prompt in picking us up at our hotel. And the company itself is very very good at communicating all information in a timely manner. You never have to guess when or if something is scheduled or confirmed.

Well organized and tailor to us, we had visited some areas hence the guide and driver adjusted to visit other neighborhood. It was great having locals show us around and visit places we had not thought about and learned about the history of the island. Definitely recommend this tours, 6hrs well sent and we got to get ice cream and lunch, very yummy!
