This is a highly recommended company to take you for a tour or provide transport services. They respond fast and are thoughtful in giving suggestions. Had a 3 hour tour with Jessica today and she took us to places suitable for me as I require less stairs walking. She was thoughtful and considerate and had good Knowledge to share. I would definitely use them again !Posted on Google![]()

The absolute best day of our trip! Highly recommend Nikos and Sammy! We found this tour company online while planning our cruise stop in Santorini, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. I communicated directly with the owner, Nikos, who provided excellent and fast communication. He was incredibly quick to answer all of our questions, making the planning completely stress-free. We were a group of 8 arriving by cruiseship for the day. To maximize our time, we took the tender to the old port and boarded a water taxi straight to Oia. Our incredible tour guide, Sammy, was standing right there waiting for us on the dock as soon as we arrived. Sammy was fantastic—highly informative, professional, and knew exactly how to navigate the island. He took us to all the main sites, made sure we stopped for delicious local gyros, and helped us take tons of amazing pictures. Thanks to Nikos and Sammy, our short day on the island turned into the absolute highlight of our entire vacation. If you are visiting Santorini, do yourself a favor and book with this company!Posted on Google![]()

Nikos was lovely, very helpful and understanding. The parts of Santorini that we saw were breathtaking. Nikos was able to take us to places where the tour buses can't go so there were less people. Overall, a great tour, would highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing trip on Santorini with our driver Sammy. Nothing was too much trouble! A few of our party have some mobility issues, but he made sure everybody was ok and even brought us water! The booking process was so easy, with great communication from start to finish! Great value for money, and if we are in Santorini in the future we will definitely use again - and hope that Sammy is our allocated driver! Thanks for a great tour and making our trip so enjoyable!

Monacu Taxi a été très professionnel, dans un contexte local d'alerte rouge météorologique. Notre trajet Héraklion Santorin à vu ses horaires de départs changés 4 fois en 24h. La communication avec Monacu Taxi via Internet et WA a été rapide, fluide et efficace. Ils se sont adaptés en nous rassurant d'un message à chaque nouveau changement. Et arrivés au Port de Thira, il était là, notre chauffeur avec le panneau qui va bien. Il a été très attentionné dans sa conduite, souple et tranquille. Heureusement, car mon épouse ne s'était pas encore remise d'une traversée épique et mouvementée. Je recommande pour un rapport qualité prix juste, une communication rassurante, un service efficace. Monacu Taxi was highly professional, even amidst a local red weather alert. The departure times for our trip from Heraklion to Santorini changed four times within a 24-hour period. Communication with Monacu Taxi via the internet and WhatsApp was fast, seamless, and efficient. They adapted to the situation, sending a reassuring message with every new change. When we arrived at the Port of Thira, our driver was there waiting with the appropriate sign. He was very attentive behind the wheel, driving smoothly and calmly. This was a relief, as my wife had not yet recovered from a rough and turbulent crossing. I recommend them for fair value for money, reassuring communication, and efficient service.
