★★★★★Viator review
Great tour!
Nathan_G, October 2026
Extremely personal and customized to what we wanted. Babis was great. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, gave us food tips, took our pictures, helped us skip lines, and gave us plenty of history. We saw so many places in 5 hours and can’t recommend Babis enough.

Private tour of Santorini with Babis
vishalprasad17, October 2026
We did a private tour of Santorini with Babis as our driver. This was our first time here and we could not have asked for a better experience. We saw the main sights - Oia, Fira, Traditional town and the highest point on the island, also squeezed in a wine tasting. Babis was a great driver and guide, very knowledgeable and great to converse with. Our family would highly recommend this tour and Babis to anyone interested in private tours in Santorini.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great Private Tour of Santorini
NicoStep, October 2026
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Babis. He understood the type of sites we were interested in visiting and knew where to take us for amazing views and to get the best photos. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Santorini and showed us a great little taverna at Black Beach for lunch. We would definitely recommend this company and Babis as a guide!
