Overview of your Santorini tour

From the southernmost part of the island and the beaches to the highest spot on the mountain until the famous Oia and the Blue domes on the cliffs! Back in the 90s as a young boy, I visited Santorini during a family trip. I couldn't even imagine back then the bonds that I would create with this magical place! Ever since then, I visited many times Santorini until I decided, 10 years ago, to stay on this island. Then everything happened so naturally! I met there my wife who comes from Santorini and we have an adorable little girl. And now all together we continue this journey of life! The bonds I have with this place and my profession allows me to know Santorini like the back of my hand! Don't miss the chance of this great experience and to take with you back home the best photos captured by a professional photographer!

We had an amazing experience on this tour! Vassilis was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire trip enjoyable with interesting stories and local insights. On top of that, he is an excellent photographer who knew all the best spots and angles to capture beautiful pictures. The photos turned out amazing and are wonderful memories of the trip. I highly recommend this tour/guide to anyone looking for a fun with beautiful pictures.

We haven't gotten our pictures yet and I'd still rate this tour 5 out of 5... 6 if I could. Vassilis was incredibly helpful and responsive in advance of the tour. He took us all over the island, stopping for pictures everywhere. He knew all of the key places to go, including ones off the beaten path. He asked early if we wanted to hear the history, and when we said we did, he did an amazing job of sharing the history of the island and different locations with us. We had an excellent lunch with him in his home village and he made sure we got safely to our next location. I can't wait to see our pictures - just off the few we took on our phones, we know they will be great. Vassilis was fun and personable - we highly recommend him.

We had an amazing day exploring Santorini with Vassilis (Bill). He was very professional, personable, and tailored the tour to our interests. From the iconic whitewashed villages to the breathtaking caldera views, every stop was memorable. The guide shared fascinating stories about the island’s history, traditions, and volcanic origins. Highly recommended Bill to anyone who wants to discover the island! We got the pictures and they were PERFECT! Kids love them too! We will tour again with Bill next time we go to Santorini. Thank you again!

Vassileios was an amazing tour guide and photographer! I would highly recommend using him while in Santorini. He brought us all around the island and took pictures of my husband and I for our honeymoon in the most beautiful spots. He knew exactly where to go and how to pose. We got to see a little bit of everything and learned about the history and geography of the island. He was very easy and fun to talk to, we really enjoyed our day with him!

Vassilis gave us a spectacular tour. We littoraly saw every part of Santorini from Oia to the lighthouse at the other end of the island. He was very knowledgeable and knew ŵhere the best spots were for photos. As a photographer, he took us to hard to reach spots and took many pictures of us. We are looking forward to the results. His photography skills were fantastic and definitely a value added to our tour. We highly recommend him and his skills for anyone else coming to Santorini.

Bill (Vassilis) did an absolutely impeccable job. The Island tour was amazing. He knew all the secret places to get all the best photos. Truly an instagrammable day. But it wasn't for us about the pictures. The information that he shared and his passion is what made the day amazing. Would definitely do this tour again without any reservation.
