Our guide, Thannos, was just amazing, his knowledge of the island's history and culture and his attentiveness and friendliness during our hike was just exceptional. The scenery on the hike is among the best we've experienced anywhere in the world and well worth the effort involved. Not overly strenuos or difficult, especially with the prefect weather we were luck enough to have.…

Our group of 6 had a tour with Nikos during our stop at port with our Norwegian cruise. Nikos was so friendly and passionate about what he was talking about and we learned so much from our time with him. He took us to different locations of the island by private bus and as we walked around he took us off the beaten path to see some things that we would have never found. He also helped us avoid some of the crazy crowds and other larger cruise tours making it a great experience. Thank you so much Nikos!…

My two adult children and I visited Greece for the first time - emotional for me since my Father's parents were born there. We traveled to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini and had arranged a few tours through a travel agency in Athens. Looking for a place to explore Santorini, I came across Santorini Walking Tours. It was just what I was looking for. Nikos met us in the morning - with espresso for all of us - and we began our journey. We took the Wanderlust tour but were also able to customize the morning with some sites in Oia. Our tour with Nikos was the highlight of our trip. We explored Pyrgos so intimately; we were truly amongst the people who lived there. The sites were breathless. So many times that morning people who lived said to us "you are in the best hands with Nikos". So very true. His knowledge, love of the island and the ability to tailor the tour to suit our needs and wants was beyond reproach. We truly feel we made a friend that day and hope return to his beautiful island of Santorini!…

We did the hike from Fira to Oia last week with Nikos and 2 other fabulous visitors from North Carolina! Yes you can do this hike on your own, but I feel the sheer enjoyment would be about 50% less without a guide like Nikos! He is so knowledgeable and sincere about his beautiful island and we learned so much about it from Nikos. The views were stunning!! It was a nice small group which we loved! It is so nice to be able to ask someone all of the questions that pop into your mind, and have a local guide explain the answers so well! The beer and lunch afterward was an absolute treat- thank you for the great memories Nikos!…

We were a group of 8 who did a private tour of Oia with Niko. He was extremely knowledgeable and really adored Santorini. He took us through parts we would have never seen on our own including some residential areas. He was able to tell us so much about the culture, the housing, the plant life and the history. He was so easy to get along with and I felt like we learned so much from him. We added a stop at a restaurant and he patiently waited for us to finish our meal, even though we invited him to join us. I would have loved to do some of his other tours only we didn't have time. He even told us to email him if we ever return so he could give us suggestions of where to stay, what to see and what to do. Overall an extremely enjoyable experience.…
