I am Greek-Egyptian and have lived in Santorini since 1998. Since 1992, I have worked in tourism, offering top travel services here. I am good at communicating and can share the island's hidden gems with you. Living on the island all year, I know how to create unforgettable tours. I understand how important it is for guests to fully enjoy their holiday. Over the years, I have helped guests experience real island life, join local celebrations, and taste traditional food as locals do. Having traveled with my family, I know how important it is to keep everyone happy so we don't hear "I'm bored" all the time. From special and unique to amazing experiences, I offer exclusive tours that only a private local guide in Santorini can provide. I have worked as a local tour guide since 1992. Since 1998, I have lived in Santorini year-round, know the island's localities and traditions from an insider's perspective, and am licensed by the Greek Ministry of Tourism to provide tours. I studied Modern Literature (Paris VIII Saint-Denis) and the human sciences, and I have a Master's Degree in French literature (El Azhar University). My private business is licensed, approved, and fully legal under Greek law. Tour operator registry. Authorized travel agent by the Ministry of Tourism. I do not have a license to give tours inside the prehistoric site of Akrotiri.

I must admit I did examine amani's reviews and all were so true. What a wonderful patriot of santorini. She shared with us the real history of hardship for residents over the last 100 years..visiting an old village was great.but cooking with her friend in her restaurant was truly the best, for my wife to learn a few local technical, and me to drink all the wine, just a great tour, good experiences often cost money, which this is expensive, but our memories are worth so much more, till next time amani..

Amani is a great guide and able to adjust to our changing schedule. She helped us choose the best sites for our visit. LOVED the cooking lesson and a highlight of our trip. Amani's suggestions helped us connect to the locals and the heart of Santorini.

We had a great day with Armani, who was a lot of fun! Our day with her was like hanging out with a friend. Her English was perfect and she kept checking in to see if we were happy and if there was anything more she could do. The cooking portion of the day was so fun! Chef and taverna owner Litsa showed us the ropes like a pro, but the best part was the meal we sat down to after the class. I would definitely recommend this great day on Santorini!

Meeting location

Fira, 847 00, Greece

Airport: Cruise: When arriving in Santorini by cruise ship, they will anchor in the open just by the Volcano, and the visitors are brought to Old Port by tender. This happens because the main port is not deep enough to accommodate big cruise ships. To reach the top of Fira, take the cable car, as it is the safest and quickest way to the town center. As soon as you get to the cable car exit, I will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name.

  • You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
