We had the most wonderful time with Nico. He shared so much information about the island, answered all our questions, and made sure we had the best day. A private tour is so worth it!! Especially when you get to spend the day with such a great guide.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful private tour of Santorini with **Santorini Best Tours by Omega Travel**. Our guide, **Anna Kallisti**, was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and made our day very enjoyable and memorable. The tour was well organized, relaxed, and a perfect way to experience beautiful Santorini. **Highly recommended!** We would definitely recommend this tour, especially to cruise passengers looking for a comfortable, personalized, and memorable way to experience Santorini.
We had a wonderful time with Tasos as our guide. We were with our friends for a small group of 4 that toured the island, spent some free time in Oia and had a lovely time at Santos winery for snacks and a tasting of their wines. Tasos was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful. We look forward to a longer visit to Santorini in the future!
This morning my husband and I went on a private taxi tour provided by Santorini Best Tours by Omega Travel. For just the two of us when we booked we thought the private tour was well priced for a 4 hour trip. Having been on the tour we feel that it was worth every penny and great value. Our driver was Nico and he arrived to collect us a few minutes early. After initial introductions he asked if we had any particular places we would like to visit then added his own suggestions to put together a good itinerary for us. Nico’s vehicle was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Throughout our tour Nico was very welcoming, friendly and full of information about the island and the places we visited. Although not officially a guided tour, Nico walked with us and showed us places in the villages that we would not necessarily have found ourselves. His love of Santorini is evident. All in all we have had a wonderful tour around Santorini with Nico and would heartily recommend.
Our guide Tasos was unbelievable. So much information could with so much passion for the island. We were picked up exactly on time at the top of the cable car. We spent the whole six hours traveling the entire length of the island while learning the history, the geology, and the culture of Santorini. We stopped by some special unique places that avoided the crowds, and took some beautiful family photographs. As the tour was winding down, we asked Tasos for some dinner recommendations. We requested local food and he personally drove us to a restaurant by the beach with an amazing beach side view and the freshest sea food I've had all vacation. Tasos gave us a couple of hours to enjoy our meal and was back to drive us back to our cruise. Unforgettable memories with my family, can't thank you enough. Highly highly recommended!
Our driver Aris was the absolute best! We needed to stop by a pharmacy to get medication that was somewhere with my husband’s lost luggage, and Aris not only took us there, but walked in with my husband as well. His kind and caring nature was ever present throughout the tour. His knowledge of Santorini and its history was more impressive than I was expecting. We were excited that the crowd size was just the two of us!Our experience on this tour has not been matched yet…Aris set a high standard of tour guiding that has yet to be duplicated. The length of the visit was surprisingly not an issue, as it was over before we knew it! The atmosphere and conversation with Aris was exceptional!
We loved Sophia!!! She was absolutely awesome and went above and beyond our expectations. We will remember Santorini because of her.
We spent our last morning on Santorini with a private tour by Aris. We had previously only explored Fira on our own, and Aris (who was also our driver to dinner the evening before) showed us both the popular and the unexpected sights in Oia, all the while sharing with us interesting things about Santorini and Greek history and culture. He answered all of our questions and made our experience very enjoyable. We feel like we became friends over a very short period, and we all took a photo together at the airport when he dropped us off. Highly recommend this experience, and ask for Aris!
We absolutely loved our tour with Santorini Best Tours with our tour guide Tasos! He was so great in picking our family from Fira (it was a bit crazy to get up the cable car, so we were so glad to see him) and whisk us away from the craziness and show us all of the great sites around Santorini! He took so much time in explaining the history of the island and engaged our kids in questions and discussion. We never felt rushed and he was a great photographer too in helping us take photos. You can't go wrong with hiring Santorini Best Tours. We highly recommend them!
Aris was a wonderful guide and driver. Very comfortable, informative and knowledgeable. Beautiful clean car. We took a 4 hour private tour and saw everything we desired. Ask for Aris- he is the best!!
Panos was the most incredible tour guide.First class five star service. If I could give 100 stars I would. Professional, kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and great with the family.Gorgeous scenery. Couldn’t have dreamed of more.. Thank you! -Carolyn Criscitiello
Hired a driver for a private tour. We did 4 hours. Nikolas (sp??) was our driver and guide. He was THE BEST!! SOOOO nice, took us wherever we wanted and also suggested other places we went. Showed us a LOT of the island in 4 hours!! Highly recommend!!
The tour was amazing and Panos, our guide ,was absolutely fantastic. Norwegian Pearl tendering was a nightmare. Two and a half hours late for our tour. Panos continually assured me that it was fine and everything would work out once we got into town. While our tour was cut short by an hour and a half because of Norwegian, he showed us the most beautiful highlights of Santorini and we learned so much about the history, culture, and uniqueness of the island. Thank you so much for all of your help!
Aris was very helpful and professional in driving and navigating at Santorini and bringing us the highlights of the places. 5hours is sufficient to cover from Imerovigli, Oia, Firostefani, Prophet Elias Lookout Point, Perissa Black Beach, Back to Hotel at Fira. We had many photos taken, almost 1hour shopping time and had a stop by a bakery quick bite for lunch. Our private chauffeur Aris’ car was the Jaguar F-Pace SUV, new and clean, luxury with reasonable price. It was all very wholesome and time efficient for us both. 60€ per hour
I was looking for a good tour and through google search and Trip Advisor i found Santorini Best tours... Glad that I did Veronica & her husband Bakothanasis Panagiotis made our tour very memorable! They are so caring and made us feel so comfortable. In 8 hours tour we were shown everything worth visiting and explained well the history and significance of the places... Beautiful pics were taken from the prominent touristic sites at Santorini even though there were long lines..! The whole trip was made so memorable & special by him. They are most highly recommended
We had a fantastic time on a private tour with our tour guide, Aris. He was fabulous and so knowledgeable about the island. He took us to a winery in a cave that was out of this world. Best wine my husband or I ever had. In Oia, Aris pointed out the high points and we throughly enjoyed our time with him. The time flew by! I highly recommend booking a tour.
I had a wonderful experience on the private tour. I had a comfortable vehicle to move around. Nikolas, my guide, was very accommodating and showed me sights that a tour bus may not be able to reach. He was knowledgeable about the island and the places to visit. I had a great time. I will definitely be visiting Santorini again and will book Santorini Best Tours by Omega Travel.
Amazing tour. Ask for Panos as your driver. He knows where to take pictures and is basically a professional photographer. He provided extensive knowledge with an overview of the area—including the vineyards and island history. Wonderful experience!
Guide and driver Panos was very knowledgeable and showed us interior places, which normally we miss, and explained history of the place. Helped us in taking photographs of places and was very professional.
Tassos was really great! We had a wonderful day! He is very knowledgeable and found really good stops in a busy few hours. He did a really good job and we would recommend him!
Pants, our driver, was very understanding that we were elderly people with mobility issues so he always dropped us off as close to where we would walk and then would park the car. He could have shown us a lot more but we would have had to walk more. All in all 6 hours well spent with a pleasant, caring young man.
Excellent day In Santorini! Our guide was amazing! We saw all the best photo worthy views. We learned about the island and area, toured the beautiful rooftops in Oia and had a great wine tour and tasting, and then saw the sun set in a non-busy local area with breathtaking views. Truely a remarkable day!
I think his name was Tiso?? Please let me know I was there on May. I cannot give him enough accolades He was the best. Unbelievably informative, kind, professional just honestly the best tour guide I ever had. I would do it all over again.
We had a wonderful tour saw thing we would of never found on our own, really got to know the island history and culture. Our driver was excellent and a great photographer as well!
Our tour guide, Natalia was awesome! She took us to 6 or 7 gorgeous areas, several off the beaten path, but also included the iconic “tourist spots”. We walked among so many scenic villages, had an authentic Greek lunch and took in the spectacular scenery…She spoke several languages, was knowledgeable and energetic. She took many great photos of our group, kept us on schedule but didn’t rush us. Our private driver, Tasos, was great too, and allowed Natalia to focus on our tour vs driving also. Our group of four did a 14 day Adriatic cruise, Santorini was my favorite!
We enjoyed a great half day private tour during our recent stay on the island. We had considered hiring a car as the island is not large but decided that a guided tour would be more beneficial to find out more from a locals perspective. Our hotel suggested Omega, after a private tour guide we had booked before arriving on the island failed to confirm our booking and did not turn up on the agreed day. As it turned out, we had a great tour with Omega and we could not have asked for a better guide than Panos, who was incredibly knowledgable and professional and we were able to visit locations that we would probably not have found ourselves. The trip was a combination of 'must see' sites recommended by Panos as well as locations we wanted to see - a great benefit of a private customisable tour. We visited Oia (best to do so in the morning before it gets too busy), the lighthouse, monastery, Megalochori (a beautiful unspoilt village), grape vines and spectacular views from different parts of the island. Thoroughly recommended
We had a lovely time with Natalie touring the island of Santorini. She was knowledgeable and informative, and was respectful of the fact that I struggle with a lot of walking. She showed us many beautiful sites on the island, ending with Oia and the more famous photograph spots. Thank you for a wonderful day, even though it was very warm!
Fantastic tour with amazing guides in a clean comfortable bus. We were met on time by our wonderful guide that led us to the very clean bus. They took into consideration our requests and we visited the sites we were most interested in. Our guide in Akrotiri was beyond great. She shared so much knowledge and was so proud of her heritage that we left very impressed. Our tour guide shared a lot of knowledge and suggestions and was always happy to answer a question or provide guidance. We always felt safe with our driver, even in the very narrow Santorini streets! Omega Travel was always very responsive with great communication. Highly recommended!
We visited all the sites that we wanted to and had a very local experience. The guide Helen and Driver Alexis were amazing making us feel very welcome and were very knowledgeable. Amazing tour highly recommended
Panos was very helpful throughout the private tour and would highly recommend going around Santorini with him.
This was exactly the tour we needed for our first trip to Santorini. Our driver/guide Panos asked, early on, what we would like to see. We told him everything we should see except we did not need a winery tour As he said at the end “I have shown you all the best of Santorini.” Coming via cruise ship he was punctual for pick up at the pier and got us to the major sights before the crowds. He knew all the small alleys and walkways from which to take the best pictures. I’d say book it!
Absolutely amazing tour. The perfect way to spend our Santorini day of our cruise. Our driver and guide were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We basically allowed them to choose what to do for us and it was the perfect day. Special thank you to Veroniki, as I choose the wrong date when booking my tour. She caught the mistake just in time and emailed/called me when she realized the cruise ship name and the date it was in port did not match. Without her catching MY mistake we would have missed out of this amazing experience.
Our guide Natalia and our chauffeur drove us to the most wonderfull places of the island. Everything was so interesting and we enjoyed the tour so much !!!
We were in Santorini for a little over two days and we wanted to see everything that we could. We were LUCKY to find this private tour led by our guide, Panos. He greeted us at the time we specified, and after a brief chat about what we wanted to see during our five hour tour, he took it from there and provided us a tour that showed us all of the highlights, as well as those areas that are often overlooked when exploring the island. Panos’ knowledge of the island, people and culture were so helpful for when you want to learn as much as you can while there. If you are able to have Panos as your guide, you will have an absolutely memorable experience, from someone that knows the island through and through. We are so pleased with our day and will remember it for the rest of our lives. Don’t give this a second thought. Book it.
Had a great private tour with Panos last week, visiting Firostefani, Red Beach, Emporio Village, Pyrgos, and a beautiful Art Space winery. Panos was on time, was fun and super helpful and even took some amazing pictures for me. Really lovely day.
We were met by Andrea at the cable car. She asked us how we wanted to structure our tour and then we set off. She took us everywhere we wanted, told us which sites to see, where to go to get the best views, and alittle of the history within each one. We were given plenty of time for our own time but still enough time to see the site's. Our driver (I won't get his name right) was also great. While going in-between sites, we all had great conversation and good stories to share. They were some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable tour guides we have dealt with. Would recommend to anyone. Just a wonderful day.
By far the best guided tour. Beyond the beautiful city of Santorini our Tasos guide was the best guide. He brought us everywhere and he was very interesting. Really thank you Tasos and if you are looking for the best guide ask Tasos.
Yesterday we were lucky enough to enjoy a private tour of Santorini with Santorini best Tours and it was spectacular! Thanks to this fantastic tour and the hand of our lovely guide and driver Panos, we were able to discover the most authentic and traditional side of Santorini. We visit beautiful villages such as Pyrgos, beautiful beaches such as Red Beach and Black Sandy Beach, the wonderful blue domes of Firostegani and Theoskepasti, the mythical monastery of the Prophet Elijah that is also the highest point on the island of Santorini and enjoys extraordinary views, and an unforgettable sunset next to the Akrotiny Lighthouse. If you are looking for how to enjoy the most authentic side of Santorini, at your own pace and in a comfortable, flexible and private way, only for your family, we can not fail to recommend Santorini Best Tours by Omega Travel, they will adapt to your request, they will make wonderful suggestions and you will enjoy a special, private and charming tour of the best of the popular island of Santorini. Thanks again for this wonderful Santorini tour: We will always remember.
The guide and the driver met us from the ferry. Natalia initially asked what we would like to see and chose the appropriate route. In addition to the well-known village of Iya, we visited sparsely populated but no less beautiful places where she photographed us together. Learned a great deal about the island's history and traditions. Very informative and factual. Natalia also recommended to us which souvenirs should really be taken instead of useless trinkets. The tour was so enjoyed that we are thinking of returning to Santorini, but already for a few days :)
