• 5Must do this in Santorini!!

  What an unforgettable trip. Our tour guide Aris really made the trip great. He was very knowledgeable and had excellent English. He is a local from Santorini and he brought us to a few hidden gems first that were just as good as the tourist spots!.

• 5Amazing tour of Santorini with Aris

  This was a brilliant tour with our driver and guide Aris. He took us all over the island and showed us historical sites and told us all about the island, people, and history. We could not have asked for a better tour. Thank you Aris

  It is a customised tour of the island, we managed to see everything we had hoped too. The guide was a bit abrupt initially but he was friendly enough.

• 5Santorini in a private tour: Mr. Aris, a real professional tour guide that makes the difference!!

  Using Viator, we got Cyclades Shine Local Tour, and they send a driver named Mr. Aris, that gave us an excellent tour around Santorini in 4 hours, driving a pristine SUV... This tour guide is a seasoned professional with vast general culture and deep knowledge of historical, geographical and vulcanology, explaining to us the root causes of landscaping and the Santorini's way of living. This man makes the whole difference! Plenty of information but not boring, very precise giving instructions when we separate to meet a few hundred meters away because something interesting is near a pedestrian only way, and his passion for Santorini and his job was as contagious than the 4 hours looks like a half-hour friends conversation! We strongly recommend this if you want a private tour with a gentleman that does not guide you to places to spend money, and even didn't accept a cup of coffee when working! Mr. Aris is a Santorinian that was a real pleasure to meet and share a ride!!!!

• 5Private tour of Santorini

  We did a private tour. Tasos, our guide, made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to see and do. He was responsive hours before the trip and gave clear directions for pick up. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

About Santorini

Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.

The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
