Amazing Day Tour My friends and I flew to Santorini from Athens for a tailor-made day excursion. What fun!! That morning, Amani greeted us at the airport and for the next 5 1/2 hours she gave us an amazing tour of Oia, Fira, and points in between. Taking us to the most picturesque spots on the island (most of which we would have never found on our own), she shared her extensive knowledge of local trends, customs, and history -- making the hours we spent there much more meaningful.Be forewarned, however, even with Amani's superb guidance, there is no way to get to the best of Santorini without lots of walking and steps, steps, and more steps. Did I say steps? Yes. So put on sensible shoes, wear comfortable clothes, bring your camera, and enjoy the show.Thanks Amani and Ibex Tours for a day I'll never forget.

Fun day exploring Santorini in December! Our tour on Santorini with Amani was one of the highlights of our trip. We were picked up on time Christmas morning from our hotel. Right from the beginning Amani was extremely welcoming and kind. Her wealth of knowledge of the history of the island was remarkable and we learned so much in the short time we were able to spend with her. Winter was a wonderful time to visit as we had Oia completely to ourselves and it allowed Amani to walk with us and show us around. Later we asked to shop for local goods. Amani’s good friends were kind enough to open their store on Christmas Day (no other stores were open) for us to shop. They sell ceramics from local artists and Sofia showed us around the store. She and her husband even invited us over for crepes the next day. After a tour of Pyrgos (Amani’s home village) and its fortress we headed down to the black sand beach. Normally the local tavern at the beach is the last stop on the tour but Amani was nervous they wouldn’t be open on Christmas Day. To our surprise (and Amani’s) it was packed with locals and live music! Thanks to Amani we got a table and had a great meal (the lamb chops were amazing!) to finish the day. Amani really went the extra mile to make our tour amazing, not to mention spending her whole Christmas Day with two tourists. If booking we would recommend requesting Amani, she was amazing. This tour is perfect for your first day on the island. You will appreciate the sites and history much more for the rest of your time here.

Wine & Food Tour Great husband and wife team! We did the cooking class and two winery tours with wine tastings. It was great having fresh authentic Greek foods and learning more about the culture and how they make their wines. They took us to another location (for free) to a local tavern to try the islands brand of donkey beer. Very similar to IPAs and loggers, very tasty! Definitely recommend this company

An Eventful Day in Santorini My friends and I had a wonderful day touring with Amani. Her knowledge of Santorini and presentation made it easy for you to grasp the information.Enjoyed the pacing of the tour allowing rest periods between the walking tours. Really enjoyed the vineyard and the discovery of the wine “Vinsanto”. Experiencing the taste of a good pizza lunch along the was special.. Thanks again Amani.

Cooking and wine tasting tour We had the pleasure of going on this tour with Amani Barkat. We had such an amazing time. We started off by going to a local tavern in a location that seemed in the middle of nowhere and got to experience local cooking and eating. We there went to a wine tasting tour. Amani was patient and knowledgeable. We really had a lovely time.

Hiking in Santorini We went to Greece and completed many tours but this hiking tour was by far the absolute best! Amani was knowledgeable and informative. Great personality!!! She kept a good pace so that all were included. I highly recommend this tour! The bus driver, George was so good that we used him for other travel arrangements.

You’ll see a lot and learn a lot from this tour company. Our tour guide Amani, was able to create an itinerary according to our wishes. The itinerary was flexible considering the needs of our group, which was composed of families and friends from different age-groups. And still we were able to see and visit a lot of places. She was very informative and knowledgeable. She picked us and dropped us fromAnd to the airport which added to the convenience and saved us our time.

An amazing 2 day trip in Santorini! We did a 6 hour private tour of Santorini with Amani and we had a great time! Amani was very informative and was very flexible. There were 14 in our group with kids, teens and a toddler and she made sure that all of us enjoyed the tour. She picked us up from the airport with a beautiful van and drove us to Oia where we were booked. It was a very memorable and stress free trip for us because Amani took care of us during our trip. She also helped us book for our greek isle tour the following day. Our needs have been met and we all had a wonderful time in Santorini! I highly recommend this tour agency especially Amani!

Best tour taken in Greece This was the best tour taken in the week we were in Greece! Our tour guide, Amani was very knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. During the tour we needed to stop to eat. She took us to her portion of Santorini for lunch. The restaurant she chose was amazing! The food, the atmosphere and the staff were authentic and just what we needed. This tour with Amani was worth the cost and something I would do again. She made you feel as if you were seeing Greece with a friend! We could not have asked for anything more. It was perfect!
