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.

One of the best experiences we have ever had. It was our first time in Santorini and we were skeptical on using a company outside of the recommended ones, boy aren’t we glad we did!!! Amani made us feel like family the entire day and broke down so many things about Santorini that we didn’t even know. Absolutely Amazing and highly recommend Amani! A+++++

Our tour with Amani was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable about the island of Santorini. She speaks fantastic English and was very easy to understand. We started in Oia. She gave us plenty of time to wander around, shop and take pictures. She took many pictures of us that we will treasure for the years to come. After Oia, Amani took us to several other picturesque places and villages. We visited a small family owned winery for a tasting. It was delicious. We went to a restaurant with a view of the entire island and caldera to taste traditional local cuisine. Again the food was phenomenal! We will never forget this fantastic day. I would recommend having Amani show you around her beautiful island of Santorini, Greece.

Perused though all of the guides available and selected Amani Barakat. Since we are older, we wanted a 'mature' guide that we could better relate too. We hit the jackpot with her. She knows her island very well and it was obvious she loved it and her job. She took us to all the hot spots but also around the island to less touristy spots. My husband asks a lot, A LOT, of questions all the time and has a habit stumping people. He couldn't stump Amani about anything!

Amani was a wonderful guide for our tour of Santorini. She explained the history of Santorini as we walked through the various towns and villages. She drove us to beautiful overlooks of the caldera and parts of the island. We had a wonderful experience at the oldest winery in Santorini and then were taken to a traditional, Greek restaurant. One member of our group has mobility issues and Amani made a special effort to accommodate. I highly recommend her guide services.

We had a wonderful tour of Santorini to see all the main sites and Amani our guide was superbly informative her depth of knowledge of the Island was excellent The winery trip was excellent with 6 wines to taste and so relaxing after our time in Oia which was packed with other tours and tourists Amani was a font of knowledge with just the right amount of information rather than some guides who over talk there subject We will definitely be returning to Santorini and contacting Amani to show us around .

I highly recommend booking Amani for the Santorini tour, super knowledgeable, interesting and goes above and beyond to ensure your tour experience is amazing. She took us to areas that were less crowded and touristy which we really appreciated and would not have gotten to see otherwise. We had the perfect tour complete with island history, beautiful sites, great wine and delicious local food at an outdoor restaurant on the beach with Amani!

Other: Cable car tickets if you arrive by cruise ship (6 Euro per person per way) When arriving in Santorini by cruise ships, they will normally anchor in the open just by the Volcano and the visitors are brought to Old port by tender. This happens due to the fact that the main port is not deep enough to accommodate big cruise ships. In order to reach the top of Fira, take the cable car as it is the safest and quickest way to the town centre.
