We had the best day on the daytime semi private cruise. Unbelievably due to the current Covid situation there was just us and one other couple on board. Christina and the crew were all great and couldn’t do enough for us. Free flowing beer, wine and soft drinks. Appetisers served up before the most amazing lunch. Would highly recommend and Christina you did a truly fantastic job.

We booked a private tour as had teenagers and also an autistic son who would not have coped with an organised public tour. From the initial contact with Kallisti Private Tours we had every confidence we had made a good choice. Their communication was efficient throughout. Theodore was friendly and discussed with us what we would like to see, planning a personalised tour with us before we started the day. He took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of Santorini and its history was second to none and we could spend as much or little time in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle as required. Cold bottled water was provided all day. The views he showed us were stunning and there were plenty of photo opportunities and toilet breaks as required. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this Tour in order to see the entire island with a good English speaking guide with so much local, geographical and historical knowledge. Real quality.

I visited Santorini with my boyfriend last October and we had a photo shoot. The photographer, Vicky, was really nice, pleasant and full of ideas. The photos came out to be amazing, we really enjoyed it.
