Helped us keeping the kids engaged and took us to a legitimate Greek restaurant to celebrate my birthday and had even ordered a cake for me ❤️ Words can't express how beautiful this experience was. Book with him. You won't regret it. P.S Santorini has a bad cable car situation if you're a cruise passenger. I later found out that Royal Caribbean sells a $20 usd Oía transfer. If you have that alternative, grab it!!! Meet Panos at Oía and thank me later 😁”

He showed us Santorini from his personal perspective and we feel like we got a tour from a dear friend not a tour company. Great value, incredible experience. If you do book this tour - and ask for Thanos - you are missing out!”
