Private Tour In Santorini! (Schedule a taxi)

Published on Oct, 2024

We reached out to Babis as a referral from a referral. This is what I love most about Greece. Everyone works together and they keep their promises!!! Babis sent a wonderful driver, he was prompt, knowledgeable, and his English was great!!! We had a five hour tour of Santorini, we saw so many things!!! This is such a great way to see the island. If you are in a cruise, this is so much more economical. The experience was top notch. Of all the tours I have done, this one was the best. (And I have been many places). Thank you Mr Babis!!! Please book with this company…Vehicle is good size and clean. Service is excellent!!! 5+*!!

Great day in Santorini

Published on Oct, 2024

Babis was an amazing guide and catered to all our needs. Very knowledgeable and showed us some amazing sites. Highly recommend!

Excellent local tour with many insights to the history and local culture.

Excellent local tour with many insights to the history and local culture. Artemis, a local to the island, gave us an incredible tour. Starting with a number of popular options, he also asked for our preferences and created a custom tour. A winery was one of our interests and he made arrangements with a local winery and host for a tasting. Artemis was also mindful of the time and adjusted routes and expectations throughout. He was very personable. In the end we feel we got the best tour possible to experience the best parts of Santorini. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a high quality custom tour experience.

10/10! We loved Babis!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

10/10 experience and worth every penny! Babis was our guide for the day AND he’s a local! He has so much knowledge of the island and the history. He took us to a few spots that were outside of our initial itinerary and that made it feel even more special. He took us to a perfect spot in Oia for the sunset and was kind enough to take beautiful photos for us at every stop. I would recommend any and everyone to take a private tour of Santorini with Simple Santorini Tours.

Babis is awesome

Published on Sep, 2024

Babis was absolutely first class with local knowledge, attitude and welcoming personality, an absolute gentleman. A definite must if you visit Santorini.
