Hi there! My name is Gabriel! I live in Santorini for the last 30 years where I offer my services as a private tour guide. I have a long experience in the hospitality & tourism industry, since I was previously employed as a tour escort and personal chauffeur by leading tour companies on the island. During the last 15 years of my life, I offer my services as a private Santorini tour guide where I offer to my guests the opportunity to tailor-made their itinerary, besides showing them the highlights of Santorini. I have given day tours for travelers coming on a cruise ship willing to explore within a few hours the highlights of the island to VIP tours for Royal families and celebrities such as John Travolta & Robert DeNiro! I look forward to meeting you and your family/friends in one of my private tours, and show you the most beautiful island of Greece - Santorini! All travelers are welcomed to contact me for any inquiries prior of booking a tour with me. I Look forward to meeting you in Santorini! Warm regards, Gabriel * I am licensed to offer private chauffeur tours of Santorini. * I have a higher certificate in English Language. * My private business is licensed, verified and legitimate as per Greek law practices.

Overview of your Santorini tour

Your tour begins with a visit to the island's half-submerged caldera—a picture-perfect setting. Strike a pose against the backdrop of the deep-blue Aegean Sea and take some memorable photos as your guide tells you about Santorini's volcanic history. Next, venture around the island's countryside and enjoy local stops away from the tourist crowds -hand-picked by your private guide. Have the opportunity to visit a traditional winery, where you can learn about the production of the local Assyrtiko wine and even stop at a local recommended restaurant to enjoy an optional meal of plates that Santorini is famous for. Round off your day on the Aegean waters with a visit to Kamari or Perissa, the longest black-sand beaches on the island covered with black volcanic sand, before returning back to your Hotel or Cruise ship.

This tour was fantastic! The island is gorgeous and the tour guide was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and interesting. There were 6 in our group and we all enjoyed Gabriel! He gave us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and we never felt rushed. We visited all of the famous places and many off the beaten path places! Loved it! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great day in Santorini with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Gabriel. The line to take the cable car from the Old Port (Gialos) up to Fira was very long. I wish there was a "skip the line" ticket because there were multiple cruise ships in port. Walking up is a better option if you can do it!

He gave us the option to see some areas frequented by the locals which were fantastic! We would definitely work with him again. He was a fantastic guide and we really enjoyed our tour.

We had a wonderful day with Gabriel. It was an amazing experience and so much better than the mass tours offered by the cruise ships. His knowledge and stories of the island made the place come alive and we got to experience everything through the eyes of a true lover of Santorini life. We can not thank Gabriel enough for such a perfect day!

We had a wonderful 6-hour tour with Gabriel. He took us to see all the major attractions in the island of Thira (Santorini). He tried to avoid the crowds by going through the back roads. He explained everything extremely well, and was very patient, passionate and flexible. The highlight of the tour was having a delicious lunch at a local restaurant with excellent view.
