          Amazing tour with Dimitris!!!
          My husband and I had the best time with Dimitris on our tour around Santorini! We saw all of the highlights and he shared his insight/knowledge on each of them! He was extremely friendly, easy to talk to, and gave us a wonderful experience that we'll never forget. We would absolutely recommend Dimitris and this tour to anyone wanting to hit the best spots & are good with a bit of walking! :)

          A great tour of the Island with a great guide Argyris. We visited Oia and a beautiful picturesque Village and the light house. Our stop by the beach was the highlight of out tour where we enjoyed some Amazing time swimming and having lunch by the water.

          Best tour ever
          We had an amazing tour with Argyris, our tour guide! We couldn't have asked for a better 6-hour overview of the island of Santorini. Besides visiting all the iconic places with the blue-domed churches, we explored many other spots in a relaxed setting. We really appreciated Argyris's flexibility and his effort to make the most of our time. Thank you once again for your excellent tour! This has been one of the best experiences I have ever had!🤗

          A perfect Santorini Adventure with Archie”
          Amazing Santorini Experience with Archie! My recent trip to Santorini was made unforgettable thanks to our fantastic guide, Archie. He picked us up in a brand new Mercedes and gave us a personalized tour around the island. Archie took the time to accommodate exactly what we wanted to do, and his professionalism and knowledge truly stood out. He was relaxed and easygoing, but also incredibly informative, sharing fascinating stories and history about each location. From breathtaking views to hidden gems, Archie made sure we saw all the best places. If you're visiting Santorini, I highly recommend booking a tour with him! Suzette Harper

          Beautiful, Fun, Insightful Day!
          This was the second time we had taken tour of Santorini with Argyris, and this tour was just as delightful as the first! Argyris is knowledgeable, fun, and we learned so much! He was able to customize the tour to our needs, and the tasting of rare wines at the Gavalas Winery was a huge highlight! I recommend Argyris for any tour!

          Beautiful Sites With A Knowledgeable Guide
          The views, food, and wine were wonderful on this guided day trip to Santorini. This is a great way to experience the island if you only have one day (although the island deserves a longer visit if you have time!). Our guide, Argyris, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the island, so we learned a lot while having a great time.

          Argyris is amazing’
          Argyris (Archie) was the most amazing guide for our day in Santorini. He is local and knows every corner of Santorini. From the “must sees” (but without the tourist trap lines) to the “you absolutely have to see” because he just knows and loves this island. You can’t do it all in 6 hours but he made every minute count and felt like a family member by the end of the day. Knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. He made our day in Santorini unforgettable!

          Beautiful Santorini
          We had an amazing tour with Archie! We enjoyed all of it, from the smooth pickup to Oia, the nice little town and the beaches. Cannot recommend it more than this to anyone visiting Santorini! Thank you!

          Wine Tour
          We had a great time learning about Santorini wine at three different wineries. Katarina was a great guide and very knowledgeable. The wineries were quaint and the wine was awesome.

          Super private tour of Santorini
          We booked Argyris (Archie) for our tour of Santorini based on the online reviews he received for his tours. We definitely were not disappointed. We travel throughout the world on a frequent basis and hire private tour guides wherever we go. In the opinion of my 14 year old, Archie was the best guide we have had. He was informative, knowledgeable, attentive and very personable as he guided us through our tour. Archie's communication was excellent, he covered the highlights of the island, along with giving us choices for what we would prefer to see. We highly recommend him to others for their tours!

          Argyris The Great
          Six of us booked a Santorini Must See & Wine Tasting Tour with Argyris (Archie)....he was FABULOUS! (Unfortunately, our tour was cut short by a few hours due to issues between Norwegian cruiselines & the local tender service....NOT at all his fault). Argyris was patient & waited for us at the top of the cable cars for 2+hours! (Some of our party took the donkeys up & recommend that). Archie made the most of our limited time in Santorini by taking us to amazing photo spots in Oia, a quick wine tasting at Gavalas & stopped for amazing chicken gyros. He provided cold water on the HOT day during our walk too. He had great communication throughout the entire process via WhatsApp. He speaks English well, has a great sense of humor & is knowledgeable about the area & wine. We highly recommend him & will refer to our friends!

        First of all, the booking was very smooth. I asked a lot of questions over email, but they responded very quickly with patience! Very accommodative in terms of where to pick up and drop off, and also the starting time! Argyris was our guide, he’s friendly and knowledgeable! We learnt a lot about santorini and greece during the tour! The van was also comfortable and spacious! Amazing tour, we had a great time!
