By Youliang Chen(TW)June 15, 2026Reviewed Tour Santorini: Private Sightseeing Tour with Flexible ItineraryFriendly and informativeNikos was very helpful from the start, promptly answering questions and arranging the private car touring. I had a 5+1 (extended 1hr for sunset) tour as soon as I got off the ferry. Nikos arranged two drivers for the tour; Samy and Marios; Samy is the younger of the two, very friendly and informative. Marios had more experience and his agility was superb, knew the exact spots to go to. Both drivers were attentive and helpful! I was glad I took this 6 hours tour to myself familiarized with the island.

By Lori(CA)July 25, 2026Reviewed Tour Santorini: Private Sightseeing Tour with Flexible ItineraryThe best way to see the IslandThis is the absolutely best way to see the Island. We combined this 5 Hour private driver with the Day trip to Santorini from Paros. We did not do the bus ride to Fira with the group. The driver, Sammy, was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. The communication about pick up was clear and he was waiting for us when we arrived at Athinos Port. Sammy took us to excellent spots in Oia to see the famous Blue Domes. We had lunch at Dodo’s at Perivolos black sand beach and went to see the beautiful spot called the “Heart of Santorini “. Sammy had us back at the port on time for our boat ride back. The traffic was crazy and Sammy navigated everything perfectly. I highly recommend hiring a driver to get the most out of the day experience.
