5-hour Private Guided Tour of Santorini

We booked this tour through Dimitri at Sunshine Hotel for us and our friends. Our driver was john in a beautiful clean Volvo. Our tour took us to the monastery at the highest point in the island, then onto other beautiful places, including red beach, white beach, the lighthouse, megalachori, Firostefani and finally to Oia to see the blue domes. John took us to some superb locations for photo opportunities. John has a fantastic knowledge of the island, and we can highly recommend him and the company he works for. John's english is excellent. Thank you so much.

Today, we disembarked our cruise ship in Santorini, Greece for a 5-hour shore excursion booked thru Greece Holiday Tours.

Our guide was Jannis “Jon” Mouzas. I have been on many shore excursions and tours in my extensive travels , but I have never met a more professional, courteous and knowledgeable guide. He shuttled us around the island in a luxury vehicle, which was very comfortable.

Jannis was able to tailor an island tour based on our interests, not a canned tour with planned stops.

Everywhere we went, Jannis was well known and obviously well respected by the staff and ownership, and due to our interests, he arranged last minute tours and tastings at a winery, a brewery and finally a fantastic beachfront lunch at a restaurant called “I Frati”, which is on a black sand beach and easily one of the better meals I have ever eaten, certainly the best meal of this vacation.

If you come to Santorini and want the best guide the island has to offer, than Jannis is your guy. He is definitely the “A” Team.

Much respect Jannis !! Don’t forget to look us up when you make it to Texas !!

An amazing day on the beautiful island of Santorini! We booked a 5 hour private tour guide and it was perfect. We were traveling by Cruise ship so our time on the island was limited. John was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful. He was a driver, tour guide, teacher, photographer, and even held my bag at times! He took us to all the highlights of the island. Viewpoints for photos, Oia for a little free time of shopping and walking through town, a winery and brewery stop, a quick visit to a monastery then lunch at an amazing restaurant, I Frati. It was on the black sand beach, beautiful view, unbelievable food even better service. It was the best meal we’ve had on this trip! Having John made everything better. He knew where to go and who would take care of us to make it the best day. Our goal of this entire Mediterranean cruise is to figure out where we want to go back for an extended stay… after today, Santorini tops our list of places we have to return!

The tour was amazing and Billy our tour guy was very knowledgeable and very personable! We had an excellent time in Santorini!

Billy is an experience tour guide who provided excellent service and took us to few beautiful places in Santorini! He is personal, approachable , and asked us the itinerary we preferred at beginning. We had a chance to take some pictures, our own time in Oia as well as watching sunset. The car is Mercedes Benz and very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Booked this trip independently from our cruise to Santorini, absolutely amazing experience from Billi our guide and chauffeur. Tailored our day as we requested, mixture of sightseeing and culture, hospitality second to none, would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Santorini for the day.

Enjoyed the experience, but most expecially Billy was very pleasant, knowledgeable and very interactive. The experience was full of fun, laughter.

We had the best tour guide Billy! He was promptly waiting for us at the top of the cable cars where he then took us to his very nice car with the best A/C. He gave suggestions on an itinerary and let us put in any input we wanted. We wanted to eat like a local so he took us to a nice spot by the beach. We got to see everything we wanted and more! He navigated us thought the crazy streets of Oia and even took some amazing pictures for us. He went above and beyond as a guide! By the time we left we were all friends. 10/10!

We did the private island tour with John (Yannis) and had a phenomenal time! Yannis went above and beyond to make us comfortable and explain/show us all of the sights of beautiful Santorini. He also took wonderful photos throughout the journey - he is a great photographer. This was the highlight of our trip, and the best tour we have ever taken! He made my birthday the best one yet! Thank you Yannis and Greece Holiday Tours!

Had an amazing time! Panos was an excellent tour guide! He knew so much about the island. Gave our group a brief history of different parts of the island. He showed us a cute coffee shop that had the best iced coffee. He also recommended a place to eat right on the black sand beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot to eat next to the ocean. If you’re only here for one day you have to get a tour guide. We would have never been able to see everything we wanted to see in 5 hours. Our driver knew ways to get around the traffic and help save us time on our tour.
