"We had a wonderful day in Santorini with Apostolis and his driver. He showed us the major sites and a few of his favorite local places. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, taking us to the major sites as well as a few of his local spots. He has a great personality and was really fun to spend the day with. "

Absolutely a beautiful day!
"Thank you Apostolis for showing and sharing Santorini with us! This was our second visit and you made it feel like our first. Apostolis gave us a VIP experience sharing some of his favorite places and we would do it all over again but next time stay longer. Thanks again for a beautiful day!!!"

Great Experience
"We received a last minute change when Apostolis had car problems. However, Jorja (sp) came instead and provided us with excellent service. She and the driver, Nick were very accommodating and she had a lot of knowledge about the area."

Private & Personalized Tours in Santorini with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Santorini, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Santorini spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Santorini.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Santorini, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Santorini awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Santorini, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Santorini. Get ready to explore like a local!
Always private. It’s just you and your local host. No strangers, no groups.
More you, less checklist

Unforgettable experience in Santorini
"It was our first visit to Santorini, and we were totally impressed both by the amazing views and the new discoveries made due to the professionalism and extensive knowledge of our wonderful guide Aphrodite. She organised everything perfectly so that we could see not only the well-known instagram spots (which were really impressive btw) but some hidden gems of the island as well. Aphrodite has an outstanding sense of humor and kept our spirits up throughout this wonderful journey. We totally recommend her as a guide for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the rich history, culture and traditions of Cyclades.
Elena and Ralf"

Wonderful Day with Aphrodite
"We spent a wonderful morning touring the island of Santorini with Aphrodite. We started the day with her picking us up from our hotel and then heading to Oia. Aphrodite took us to all of the great picture spots and we got lots of great shots with the famous blue roofs. Along the way she told us all about the history of the island. Next she took us further south to show us a cute little village with restaurants and shops as well as a traditional cave house that we were able to explore. Next we headed to Ancient Thera where we were given time to explore the ancient city on our own. Lastly, at our request, Aphrodite took us to Santo Winery where we were able to do a wine tasting in a spectacular settling cliffside overlooking the volcano.
Throughout the day Aphrodite shared so much information with us on Greek history, the common practices of the Greek people and details about the island. By the end of the day she felt more like a friend than a tour guide. I would highly recommend her as a tour guide. She was great at keeping both my husband and I as well as our 10 year old daughter engaged, she listened to our interests and adjusted the tour to what she thought would interest us most and gave us a wealth of information along the way.

Amazing!
"Aphrodite was an amazing guide, extremely nice and knowledgeable. She took us through Santorini to beautiful views in Fira, Oia, other little towns. We got amazing pictures and saw the cave houses. We ended at the beach where she recommended a great place for lunch. It was our favorite tour! Thank you Aphrodite!"

Save your time and avoid the crowds.
"This is a must if you are cruising to Santorini and want to see the best of it.
We were hosted by George, who was a wonderful tour guide and photographer! He took my camera and let me enjoy the trip, and captured amazing photos for us.
Being a photographer, he knew and picked the best scenery spots, avoiding the crowds and queues.
Based on our wish, he took us to an amazing restaurant/beach club where we had a 5-star seafood food meal in the vibrant black beach."

Beautiful day around a magical island!
"We are a family of five with three young kids and Apostolis was a great guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and patient with the kids. We had a very relaxing day whilst taking in so much of the views, the archaeological site, a winery and beaches. Would definitely recommend our guide and the service was very smooth given we just booked the previous day. Thankyou!"
"We absolutely loved every minute of our tour. Aphrodite was so knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and accommodating. If you are Santorini, this is a must! She showed us all the best spots and shared heaps of knowledgeable. Would highly, highly, highly recommend her and the tour. "
