“Panos was an OUTSTANDING tour guide with historical knowledge that far exceeded our expectations!!! Panos made our experience to his island the most glorious experience we had on our entire trip! We were on a 10-day cruise with Santorini being our first stop! Everything and everyone after that paled in comparison to the incredible tour we had with Panos!!! It was my birthday and because of him, I will never forget this year!!!!! You have truly found a treasure in employing him and he has certainly set a standard in my mind that will be near impossible to reach or exceed!!! BRAVO PANOS!!!!!!”

She and the driver took my family of four to all the highlights in and around Santorini. We had lunch outside at a beautiful little restaurant next to the black sand beach on the Meditranian sea.
