Private Unseen Authentic Santorini Half Day Island Tour

A Santorini Tour with Markos was definitely a highlight on our trip and I 100% reccommend him. From Fira, he took us to both ti the touristy places (before the crowds got there), to the must-sees and photo opportunities but also took us off the beaten path to different points of the island with breathtaking views and hidden gems where he explained history, geography and how the locals work and live. From the beginning of our tour, he asked us to treat him like an old friend and indeed was he friendly, respectful and considerate on the needs of the group going above and beyond expectations. I will give you two clear examples: 1. A lady on our group had mild mobility issues, but he made sure to find even terrain and adjust the tour accordingly to make it easier for her 2. A strong rain started on the last minute before finishing the tour, but he drove around town for a while and tried to find the best drop off point that would be safe for us Thank you Markus! P.S if someone is thinking wether to reserve with Markos or not: * Santorini was definitely more enjoyable with a driver, as you will not get to see all of the views from just one point/city * He is an awesome guide and the experience is worth every penny P.S.2 Get as earliest as possible to beat the crowds. Seriously.

My family and I were in Santorini for a only a day in August during a Mediterranean Cruise and we were fortunate to have found Markos to give us a personalized tour of Santorini. Markos was extremely helpful in planning the tour before our arrival to ensure our two sons ages 13 and 10 would find the tour engaging. Markos immediately made us feel welcomed to the beautiful island. Markos does an excellent job of explaining the historical facts about each location we visited in a way my 13 and 10 year old boys could easily understand and kept them engaged and interested throughout the tour. We felt fortunate to have a true local show us around. He shared unique locations and beautiful views of the island for us to gain a true understanding of what life is like in Santorini. Our tour ended with Markos taking us to a quint family owned restaurant located on a black sand beach so we could enjoy true local Greek food with an amazing view. It was a truly unique setting and made us feel like locals. Markos does a great job of taking us off the beaten path allowing us to see the beauty that Santorini has to offer. Our tour with Markos remains one of the highlights from our 7 day Mediterranean cruise. Markos is extremely personable and responsive as we were planning our trip back in March. We highly recommend Markos and would definitely book another tour with him the next time we visit Santorini!

Thank you Markos for a truly Magical day in Santorini! Your fun, warm, welcoming spirit made our day extra special! We loved going to your beautiful small town on the coast away from the crowds, after visiting the main tourist spots! The family owned seaside restaurant you suggested was so delicious and we loved being treated like family there. Also, thanks for being our photographer too 🙂 to help us remember all the magical places you took us! If you are considering a visit to Santorini, I highly recommend Markos Greek Karma

Markos was such a fun, funny, personable, and knowledgeable tour guide for our family. Our boys loved the tour as he made it interesting and fun for them. He catered to our different interests (picturesque spots for me, interesting off-the-beaten path spots for my husband, and a collective family favorite local dining experience with delicious food and ambiance! Thanks for making our short but sweet stay in Santorini memorable Markos!

The private tour was the best way to experience Santorini. Not only was Yiannis a resident of Santorini, therefore very familiar with the island, he is also a sommelier! Although we are not wine connoisseurs, he taught us some very good information with the impromptu winery visit. Yiannis was very patient with my sudden shopping in Oia and also took us to the perfect photographic spots and played photographer. I highly recommend this tour/Yiannis and would do it again!
