George was the perfect guide, giving us an overview of Santorini that we couldn’t get on any tour. He was like a family member who took us around to his favorite places. It was perfect and makes us want to come back again. George is the best!!!

We were a group of three. One of us had a hearing challenge, another a vision challenge, and the third a walking challenge. He was able to adjust the tour to all our needs. He is a very quick learner! George was an excellent guide. His expertise in planning a route for us based on our interests and abilities was outstanding. We viewed Santorini from many vantage points around the island. He customized the experience by eliminating some archeological sites, because we had seen so many on other islands, and he added more points of interest so we could become acquainted with life on Santorini from many perspectives. The stops for coffee and lunch added a “locals” perspective, allowing us the tastes of the area. Also, if you are a picture buff, he has a plethora of ideas for capturing the best photos. Ask for George by name if you want a more personal look at this gorgeous area.
