About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ginalL1081YK0 contributionsGreat hike- money well worth it!Kathrin was excellent guide in what became a private tour since it was just my friend and I on the hike ftom Fira to Oia. She spoke about the island, the caldera, and stopped to highlight many of the interesting spots along the way. It’s a must do for people who like to sight see on foot! You could do yourself but then you wouldn’t get expertise of Katrin. she ‘s awesome!!Written November 11, 2024
- Luv2TrvlWW0 contributionsWonderful day trip around Santorini (Thira)Our first activity with Santorini Experts was to experience a tour of Thira with Agatha. We had customized the itinerary a bit, as we did not want to visit Oia on this outing. Agatha picked us up from our accommodations, and she was a delight. Full of history and great information. We visited the highest peak on the island for outstanding views, then to Megalochori, where we walked around this beautiful town. Lots of interesting stops, including red beach, black beach and windmills, and an amazing lunch. It was an awesome day. Agatha was a fantastic guide and great company. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it made it such an enjoyable outing. I would highly recommend her as a guide, and Santorini Experts tour company.Written November 1, 2024
- Luv2TrvlWW0 contributionsAmazing trip to ThirassiaOur second activity with Santorini Experts was to visit Thirassia Island with Kathrin. She picked us up from our accommodations, and drove us to the ferry dock, where we boarded the ferry for a quick crossing to the island. Great views along the way. A long climb up the stairs from the harbour to the town (not for the faint of heart) yielded great views (recommend you do this in the morning to avoid the heat). The town is charming and we walked around exploring, with Kathrin passionately describing the challenges these villagers face, and the history of the area. We then walked out of town, to visit the cave dwellings, since abandoned, and learned about how people lived in these caves until the 70's. From there we were picked and brought to a lovely restaurant for an amazing meal, then back to Thira on the ferry. Kathrin was a wonderful guide and great company. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made it such an enjoyable outing. I would highly recommend her tour company.Written November 1, 2024
- M3541SWdavidg0 contributionsAccessible Santorini Experts TourReally wanted to see some of Santorini from our cruise, but most tours said not accessible and we almost gave up! I emailed Santorini Experts and they came up with a perfect 4 hour, personalised tour for us! Kathrin was our driver / tour guide, she was the perfect host, made every aspect seamless, from pre-advice regarding the cable car, meeting us and dropping us off at the end. Kathrin has a wealth of knowledge regarding Santorini and I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Santorini Experts, especially if you have accessible needs.Written October 21, 2024
- N1171VVjulies0 contributionsFabulous Caldera Hike - Exceeded ExpectationsSantorini Experts was an absolute pleasure to work with on our recent trip to Santorini. We were a group of five, wanting to hike from Fira to Oia with transportation back to the cable car after lunch in Oia. Kathrin couldn't have been more helpful in advance of our trip. She answered all communication promptly, tailored the experience to our wishes and was flexible when our number changed. Agatha was a lovely guide, so warm, friendly and wise. We didn't think we needed a guide (we really just needed the confirmed return transport) but we were so wrong. She made the hike so much more meaningful, and we learned a great deal. She even let me hang on tightly to her arm as we navigated a bit of a narrow downhill stretch. Everyone was on time, accessible and communicated exceptionally well. Highly recommend!Written October 19, 2024
- dawn3213210 contributionsFantastic Tour!I contacted Santorini Experts to arrange a 4-hour tour for our group of 10. I explained that we wanted to see the island, learn some history, see the major sights and cities, and maybe fit in a wine tasting! A tour was created for us that met all of these requests. Communication with the office at Santorini Experts couldn't have been better. Questions and requests were promptly replied to, and directions for meeting our guide were right on target. Our guide Elisa was outstanding! She was knowledgeable, answered our many questions, and was a joy to be with. The van was comfortable and our driver did a fantastic job of drop off and pick up, since a couple of people in our group needed to limit their walking. We arrived by boat and had a fixed amount of time to visit Santorini. Santorini Experts made the best use of that time. I can't recommend them enough!Written October 14, 2024
- nancywS9416SN0 contributionsA private Tour in SantoriniBooking the First Impressions private tour with Santorini Experts was definitely a highlight of our port of call in Greece. Kathrin made the booking process very easy and the lovely Agatha met us at the exit of the upper cable car station in Fira holding a sign with our name. Agatha shared her knowledge of Santorini with such passion and energy that you couldn't help but fall in love with the island too. We can't thank you enough for such an amazing day that we will never forget.Written October 10, 2024
- Trip195862655840 contributionsA Fabulous Day!The 6 hours we spent touring Santorini with our expert guide Elisa and driver Tasso were spectacular! We saw and learned so much about the island - a whole lot more than we would have with a large group tour or on our own. Highly recommend Santorini Experts!Written October 2, 2024
- marleen7400 contributionsA breath taking tour of SantoriniIf you want to take a "quick view of Santorini" with beautiful views and interesting history, this tour should not be missed. Elena from Santorini's Luxury Travel was our guide, assisted by George our driver. They gave us a wonderful never to forget tour. They know all about the island and tailored the tour to our interests. Made sure we had pictures of all the beautiful sights. Don't miss this!Written September 23, 2024
- craig s0 contributionsHighly recommendedFor our travelling group of 18 Elisa provided us all a superb day. As well as being a fascinating person to listen to, she provided all the facts and stories on point. Highly recommend Santoniri Tours and especially Elisa for you all.Written September 22, 2024

- Trek683973245690 contributionsExcellent 6 hour tour, Thanks Sabina and KatherinExcellent tour with Sabina our friendly, fantastic and knowledgeable guide, highly appreciated and recommended. Thanks.Written June 28, 2024
- Vanessa B0 contributionsSpectacular views, informative guide.Led by our guide in a perfect size group of 4, we had a very informative and spectacular walk up to Oia. The going was tough at times ( steep inclines and tough stone underfoot - wear supportive trainers !) but the small group allowed us to tailor the pace to allow for photo and water stops . The views are very special indeed and go across to the Aegean too . We set off an hour early at the guide’s suggestion given the temperatures hit 30 degrees and the walk ends at the height of the day . We needed all the extra water we brought as well as loads of sunscreen .Written June 10, 2024
- dontknowname0 contributionsHighly recommendedWe had a panoramic tour with 19 participants led by Agathe. She was amazing - knowledgeable, positive, funny and with so much love of Santorini. We had people with different mobility issues and all were happy. Thank you Agathe for this unforgettable tour!Written June 4, 2024

We loved taking the journey across Santorini with Kathrin! She was an excellent resource for all of the important facts about Greece and Greek wine. She made us very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed her company. We loved tasting the wines special to Santorini and learning about how they are able to grow on this island. The trip was smooth and seamless. I would recommend this experience to any of my friends and family.

We are visiting Greece and the Cycladic Islands for the first time, celebrating our honeymoon. We only have a couple of days here on Santorini and booked a wine tour some what last minute. We enjoyed every moment! We had a comfortable and classy ride to the wineries, filled with historical and relevant information along the way. Each winery was different and special it it’s own way - the wines were delightful! We are dry and acidic so the wine paired well. Highly recommend Katherine and the Santorini Experts!

We wish you all the best for your life together and hope, that all your dreams come true and we will be able to visit you and your new project soon.

This wine tasting was amazing. Great selections of wines and very interesting learning about the production and history of wines. The food pairings made it exceptionally enjoyable. Our guide Markos was so friendly and really made the tour special. My husband said this was his favorite activity of our entire trip to Greece.

We booked a private wine tour with Santorini Experts and we received more than what we paid for. Assigned driver, Dimitris is so friendly and doesn't hesitate to share his knowledge on Santorini with us. It was a fun trip where we talked and laughed throughout. Highly recommend Dimitris :)

My sister and I enjoyed this tour just as much as the “Hidden paths” tour from Santorini Experts. Marcos was our tour guide and he was excellent. It really shows that he likes to work in this business and likes to do what he does. He was punctual, very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to 3 different wineries and we could really learn from their staff a lot about the wine making process and also details about the greek soils and the greek vineyards that make the wine have its unique quality and taste. We enjoyed several samples of Ouzo, and also wines along with some greek food delicacies. We really enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend it to whoever is into knowing more about the Santorini wines. 5 stars! :)

Wow! Thank you so much for your 5 star rating and wonderful review! We're so pleased that we had the chance to show you so much while you were here. You must have learned a lot and seen things that tourists wouldn't even imagine seeing on their own by taking the Hidden Paths tour and Wine Tour. Next time, let us show and take you hiking on the sister island of Thirassia. Thanks again. Kind regards.

My husband and I did a private tour with Marcos. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done. He took us to 3 very different wineries: one that’s basically a farm (Faros Market) with wine tastings pulled directly from the barrels (my favorite!! you would never find this place on your own), one award-winning vineyard and tasting room that was still semi-intimate in feel , and one larger and very posh vineyard. Something for everyone, a good sampling.
Our guide was enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed his job. Highly recommend!! You taste some great food at Faros Market as well.

Thank you for taking your time to leave this nice review on our wine tour. We're thrilled you enjoyed tasting and learning about Santorini's vineyards / wineries. We're also pleased that you enjoyed how we introduce them and show you the differences in each one. Faros is also my favorite and you're absolutely right that gems like this are often missed by most people. It's priceless to have a local, expert guide show you what you could have otherwise missed on your own. I hope you visit again. We'd love to show you even more of the hidden gems on the island!

Our wine tour with El was the highlight of our trip! She was very knowledgable about winemaking in the region and great company in general. It was great to learn more about Santorini and spend the afternoon with a local!

The tour was with a small group, so it felt more like an evening out with friends. Our host Alexandros made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The tour itself took us to 3 very different vineyards where we learnt about the way wine is made on Santorini. This is a must do when on Santorini!

Thanks for your kind review! We're so happy that your group had a blast. Aren't the vineyards and wine making here so amazing? I hope you liked tasting the different varieties as that volcanic soil is unique in how it's grown, but it also produces a very unique flavor. I certainly agree that this is a "Must Do!" Santorini is really so much more than just the caldera and volcano. So much to see, usually so little time. Let us show you even more next time. Best regards.
