What people are saying about Pyrgos Kallistis

This tour was great as was our tour guide/driver Gregory. He was on time for pick up. He drove that van like a pro. He told us so many interesting stories about the history of Santorini as well as some insights into modern day Santorini society. Audio in the van was good (loud and clear) and I'm somewhat hard of hearing. The winery we visit had the most amazing sweet dessert wine that I had to buy a bottle (and I'm not a wine person at all). The castles and their ruins were so interesting so see. Definitely take this tour, with Gregory if possible, to get a better appreciation for Santorini.

This tour was perfect for our group! Mary was our guide and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. We had some history buffs in the group and she answered all their questions adequately. She also did a great job of balancing the tour activities and knowing where to give-an-take as we were touring during low-season with moderate weather. Highly recommended this tour (and Mary) if you want a solid tour of the island. It's especially good for your Day 1 while there to get a feel for different areas and activities on the island.

Our guide was awesome! He gave us the opportunity to shake up the original sites we had booked and we are so glad we listened to his suggestions. He was informative, friendly and kept up a very good narrative while driving. Highly recommend.

The couch trip was well organised. Tour guide was very nice, gave lots of info, and did not rush us around. Good value for money. Halina

Fantastic trip well organised. Maria our guide was really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Coach was very comfortable.
