What To Expect
Firostefani
The village of Firostefani is located in the northern part of Santorini, between the famous towns of Fira and Imerovigli. Officially, this location is perceived as a separate village. However, the truth is different. It extends the village capital, Santorini's infamous Fira. Since Firostefani is located at the highest point of Fira, the name of this settlement can be translated as the Crown of Fira. In Greek, Stefani means crown. Therefore, it is the Crown of Nature.
Imerovigli
Visit Imerovigli, the highest town in Santorini, with white houses and blue-domed churches. Since Imerovigli is a preserved traditional settlement, the architectural style of the building remains unchanged, mainly in Cycladic and primarily local Fira style. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops visited by tens of thousands worldwide.

Best Private Santorini Tour Ever

5.00My husband and I had a private 6 hour tour on Santorini that was absolutely amazing and the highlight of our 12 days in Greece! George aka Mr. Patience, was our driver (the van was lux) and Mary, our tour guide were both outstanding. Mary covered from Oia to Agkistri—one end of Santorini to the other, filling us with historical facts, picture perfect photo spots, castles, and ending with a wine tasting at Art Space. While driving, Mary would get out the map and her ipad and show us more details of past volcanic activity and old photos of what some of the places used to look like. It was worth every penny! If you want the best, book Mary and George with Top Santorini tours today. You will not be disappointed.
Absolutely wasted a day and money

1.00We were so disappointed with our experience with George. He started out telling us that it was our day and we could decide what to see and do. Then telling us that we HAD to be back on the bus at noon but he actually was yelling at us. Didn't want us to go shopping and only allowed us an hr to do so after we demanded it. All he did was take us to take pictures when we wanted to see the winery and beaches. Yelled at tourists to move, and when I say yell, ppl literally ran away from him. Just a very all around mean disposition. But the worst part, he demanded that we go to a restaurant, we didn't get to order, they just brought us food, and 3Xs what we could eat. And then we get our bill, which we were under the impression that it was included in what we had already paid, came to $85/person. We had 15 ppl. It was clearly a set up, after that, we refused to spend another minute with him. They did give money back, which was weird that he had that much cash on him, almost as if he was prepared to give some back. Horrible experience.
Amazing tour but tour guide did yell at us

4.00Entering into Imerogvili with the breathtaking views, walking around the fancy Oia shops. George was great with customizing the routes as I have medical condition and cannot climb too many steps. If you have never been to Santorini, I recommend this tour. 4 starts because our tour guide yelled at as he told us to meet up in one spot and due to language issues we did not get the spot right. He should have been able to express his concerns in more civil way. Overall, The tour was well planned.
Great Tour. Sofia is the BEST!

5.00Santorini Visit. My husband, sister and her husband got the pleasure of having Sofia as our tour guide. She. Was. Amazing! Full of energy, funny, informative, relatable are just some things that describe her. She picked us up in an air conditioned electric Mercedes. We visited Oia, Fira, black sand beach, local restaurant, local winery. We had such a great experience.
Great tour!

5.00Costos did a great job! He was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with! He's a terrific photographer as well! He adjusted our route so that my mom (who is 79 years old) wouldn't have to walk too much.
