Private Santorini Full-day Guided Sightseeing Tour

The whole trip was smooth and easy to manage The guide was polite and stayed helpful throughout the day He listened to our requests and made sure we did not have to wait much The car was clean and pickup timing was good What I liked most was the flexibility with the route and schedule Since Santorini can get busy this kind of service made the day much simpler and less stressful It felt like a dependable local service and the experience was very convenient from start to finish.

Felt like being taken around Santorini by a family member! LOVED George, our guide and driver- he managed to take us to wonderful places, take beautiful pictures of us there (somehow SANS other tourists in the background, even though it was already May!) learn about the island's history, AND have a wonderful meal in one of the most picturesque restaurants.. Definitely recommend! Highlight of our Greece trip!

This was everyone’s favorite tour of our trip!! Our driver Harris was awesome!! Highly recommend this tour. Great thing about being private was we managed the time and stops based on our desires. Spent lunch and some time at the black sand beach- our favorite spot! If I go back, I will ask specifically for Harris. He took group pictures of us, had conversation, and kept us entertained.

You will see the best picturesque views/places in Santorini. Some experiences require additional entry fees. The guide.. Harris was knowlegble about Santorini history and Santorini today.

Our tour gentlemen was awesome. Professional kind smart funny very informative. He made me fall I. Love with Greece. An amazing tour guide.

My wife and I are on the Explora 1 cruise celebrating our anniversary and we decided we wanted to have a tour guide take care of our only day in Santorini. Mary was our tour guide and did a fantastic job making our day as special as it could be. Taking us to private wine tasting, monastery at the highest point of the island, an amazing lunch on the beach at Mario’s restaurant and accompanied us to a private photo shoot in Oia. Overall we were impressed with her knowledge of the island and appreciated her kind heart. Thank you 😊

The guide was very knowledgeable. We were able to customize the tour to fit our interests. It was a comprehensive day tour.

Antonis was very knowledgeable about all the sights and towns he did a wonderful job explaining everything. He asked for what we wanted and provided it. We got to see a lot and spend some time at the beach. It was a wonderful day.

The experience was incredible!!! The day in Santorini was absolutely amazing! Our driver was knowledgeable and made the experience extremely enjoyable!

George was an amazing guide. He was so kind and went out of his way to make my kids and family feel special. We were able to create some amazing memories that we will cherish forever. I’ve got so many great pictures. Loved seeing the entire island. This is a must see tour. We can’t wait to come back

Wonderful tour all over Santorini with private tour guide and van. We paid extra for wine tour and Akrotiri which guide could not come in to explain what we were seeing. We were on cruise ship and getting to the top to reach the guide was 40 minutes. This was in May we docked with a tender. Beautiful island and views don't need to return.

Mary was great very knowledgeable about Santorini she was on time easy to find with a sign great transportation and lots of fun! Awesome day she kept us out of the crowds and got us a great lunch location alao

Our guide for the day was George. Couldn’t have asked for more, he was personable, knowledgeable, receptive, patient and very thorough. Going to Santorini, you have to ask for George!

We had a great tour of beautiful Santorini with Fotios! He was thoughtful, timely, funny and a great music lover! Great guide! Our only tip is to be sure to be on the first tender so that you can get in a full day- the cable car line is no joke!

Fotios gave us a wonderful tour around Santorini. He was warm, lively and considerate of our needs and interests. Along with many interesting anecdotes and information on Greek culture and natural history, he made an effort to find us a lovely traditional meal. He paid special attention to other travel needs and took great care of us. We highly recommend his tour company and his local guidance.

There are not words that can properly describe how enthusiastic George, our guide, is about his job! A good tour guide can make all of the difference, especially when you are trying to get in authentic experience in a destination like Santorini that can be very touristy in some areas. George took us to all of the highlights on the island, as well as some off-the-beaten-path local spots. He is also an excellent photographer and amazing storyteller. If we were eve back in Santorini, we would absolutely reach out to George for any tours of drives that we need. A trip to Greece wouldn't be complete without him!

This was the most incredible and well done tour ever!!! We are frequent travelers and have done many tours over the years and this by far was completely off the chart!! George has ruined us for all other tour guides. He took care of our every need. Great communication, luxury Mercedes, constant cold bottles of water, covered the entire island in a day. Culture, history, all the best places and service was top notch! Red beach, black beach, smallest church to the most famous, absolutely spectacular views at all the best places, amazing farm to table dinner with wine tasting and impeccable service. George took care of every single detail. This man loves his job and it shows in every aspect of this tour! He was so gracious- snacks at his favorite and most popular bakery, helped up pick out amazing local food choices, and constantly fluttering about making sure we were able to see and do everything imaginable. He started with making sure he knew what our desires and expectations were and tailored the tour to make sure we did it. He delivered in an unimaginable way! Blew it out of the park!! He even made sure we got our Santorini sunset in. You will not get more value and high quality service than picking this tour— make sure you ask for George. If your on a cruise ship and only have one day to see all the beauty that Santorini has to offer— this is the trip for you. If you want 5 star service- this is the trip for you. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Well spent money and worth it. Did I mention he will be your personal photographer?? We have so many amazing photos- too many to share. Tip him well- this guy works his tail off to take care of you and he deserves every penny!

Sophia was amazing! I’d ask for her by name. Sophia gave us her ideas and we discussed them to be sure it would work for both myself and my three teenage daughters. She added so much color to our tour. Wish we could have been with her for two days!

We had an incredible day exploring Santorini with Maria! She met us right at the exit to the cable car when we arrived from our cruise ship tender. The view points she guided us to were beautiful, and also took us to spots that were not overly crowded which we never would have found on our own! There is a bit of walking to get to some view points so keep that in mind! The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was right on the beach, and food was delicious! Highly recommend this tour for anyone spending a day in Santorini!

We were short if time because of the unexpected influx of tourists that came down from 3 big cruise shops. Our guide, Dimitris, still managed to bring us to iconic places of Santorini. He made our Santorini visit memorable and enjoyable despite the shortened time. I give him 5 stars 🌟

This tour has been the highlight of my vacation. Our guide, Theodore, was well versed on the history and culture of Santorini. After spending time traveling through the villages and seeing the sites, Theodore took us to a beautiful restaurant on the water where we dined on fresh fish, local wine and other local culinary delights. Then Theodore took us the black sand beach where we we watched the sunset. Was well worth the expense for such beautiful memories. Thank you for fabulous time!

Our tour guide Maria did a wonderful job of taking us to the points of interest on Santorini! We had lunch at a very good restaurant by a black sand beach. If you are in town ask for Maria!

Marie did a excellent job guiding us through to see everything we wanted to see one of the best tours we have ever done really gave us a feel of what the local life is here we were so grateful for such professional and knowledgeable tour staff we had Alex driving us around the island and show us some of the plants that grow on the island very unique it’s was a very amazing experience they really put a lot of effort forward for us to have a great experience!!!

I was hesitant to spend the money on this but it was 100% worth it. Our guide was so sweet, beautiful and generous. She really did an awesome job and tailoring to our desires and just made our trip amazing. I feel like we got to see everything in just one day.

Really enjoyed our day with this company. Our guide was beautiful and kind, and listened to our interests and created the perfect day for us. She was great at taking photos for us and finding the best food. We liked them so much we also used them for private transfers the next day. I highly recommend this company. I’m also pretty sure the owner was our driver and he was also very very nice and accommodating. I hope to be back and use them again.

I went to Santorini with my mom and Grandma and had the most WONDERFUL time with our tour guide Mary. She showed us all the hidden gems and the most stunning views. She was so patient with my Grandma with all the walking and tried to get us around the big crowds to make it easier. She brought us to the most delicious place for lunch and the most beautiful winery where we tasted some of the best wines I ever had! Our driver was amazing as well and really made us feel at home and have the most amazing day filled with so many memories! Thank you for showing us such a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back and visit!

We visited Santorini in May and had a wonderful experience with Yota, our guide, and Alex, our owner/driver. Yota was very knowledgeable of not only Santorini but also of the US to some extent which was impressive as we discussed similarities and differences between our countries. She was considerate of my physical limitations and took it into account in the way the day was planned always making my safety a priority. I would highly recommend this company.

We spent a fantastic day with our tour guide Ted! He was hands down the best guide we've ever had. He was both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Indeed, that's what we appreciated most about Ted. He was so passionate about the history of Santorini in particular and Greece more generally. We not only had fun, but we also learned quite a lot in the process. The tour itself was very comprehensive. We saw all the major towns, the black sand beach, an archaeological site, some vineyards and a winery, as well as a ride up to the tallest point on the island. It really was a full day, and yet, it went by so quickly. The whole way through, Ted was cracking jokes, telling stories, and thrilling us with his insights into life on Santorini (past and present). And because Ted knows all the short cuts and off-the-beaten-path corners of the island, you're not simply sitting in traffic the entire time. In short, I highly recommend this tour, it was more than the worth it!

Santorini was one of the highlights of our journey. we had a wonderful guide sitting with us in a Mercedes wagon as well as a driver, which is much better than a driver who is also the guide. She shared so much knowledge about the island, the people and the culture and took us into many townships into areas that could never be accessed by large busses. We walked through these towns, visited shops, saw many villas and hotels overlooking postcard views that is was way beyond our expectations. We also visited a vineyard and winery to see how differently grapes were grown in the country, then visited a black sand beach with limestone cliffs carved beautifully by Mother Nature. We also had lunch, a. very special Easter holiday lunch (lamb cooked over open fire) overlooking the a town and the Aegean Sea--it was so surreal. We found some beautiful and unique shops with ceramics and jewelry and overall had a fabulous time.

This was a great tour. The sights are amazing, the history is intriguing, and the food is outstanding. Ted was awesome. He is very nice and professional, and I enjoyed our conversations throughout the day. He is just a cool guy. I highly recommend this tour!

We loved the full day private tour because they tailored it perfectly to our pace and interests and because our guide Mary had wonderful and interesting information about the history, about current developments and took excellent care of us from start to finish. Our best tour ever!

Santorini was a stop on our cruise. We booked the full day tour and everything was PERFECT. Top notch service. Worth every penny. Our guide, Christos, was exceptional. This was easily the highlight of our 10 day vacation. Can’t wait to go back.

Our guide was awesome! She was so knowledgeable and open. Felt like we were being guided by a trusted friend! Love her cat stories too!

What a great day! On our first day in Santorini and faced with impossible choices of what to see and do, this was the best choice of all. Picked up at the door of our hotel, Kostas, our guide, and Yiannis, our driver, spent the whole day making sure we had the best overview of the island, tailoring the day to include our requests that included touring Akrotiri and a winery, while also assuring we didn’t miss the highlights of the island. The pace was perfect, and we learned much about the history and evolution of the island. Kostas made sure we had great photo stops and was such a skilled and willing photographer. Since this was a private tour, we had first-class treatment and courteous attention from these two young men who made sure we were cared for and informed. Highly recommend.

All I can say is WOW! This company was incredible to work with for months in advance we talked to perfectly tailor the day for my wishes and it was the best! Our guide was Menha and he was fabulous as was our driver! We hit almost every one of the important stops on the island, he walked with us and gave us such interesting history and highligts, and we had time for pics in many places, a great time at Venetsanos Winery doing a tasting and a lovely delicious lunch at Remvi. Then he took the time to walk us through Oia giving us history and pointers along the way. And recommended a wonderful restaurant to enjoy the sunset over Santorini for dinner! A perfect day in a perfect setting!

We had great experience with Maria for 2 days. She helped us to prepare a program for our shooting in different locations of Santorini. Everything was upon the schedule what was the most important for us. The transport provided by the company was outstanding, the cars were new, always in time. Thank you

Minas was the best tour guide around. Communication before the tour was easy and he arrived at our designated spot on time. Our tour was beyond what we thought it would be. Yanas our driver was very skilled as driving thru Santorini isn’t easy. Minas was very thorough and his English was amazing. He explained everything and his knowledge was incredible. We saw the whole island then He suggested a lunch venue as our children wanted Gyros and it was great. Then suggested a winery which was incredible. If you have one day in Santorini you must get this tour. You see everything and request Minas. You won’t be disappointed

Our guide was a no show. He didn't answer his phone. He didn't answer texts. He didn't respond when we tried to contact him through Viator.

Today we experienced a fabulous tour with Mary and our driver. Both are very knowledgeable of the history of the island and since they live here, they know those special tips and tricks to make the tour more intimate and personal. We were able to see and do everything we wanted including a great lunch with a seaside views. To end this perfect day we were treated to the most spectacular sunset with very few other people around. You will have to go on this tour with Mary to find this special place!!! We highly recommend taking this tour with Mary!!!

Minhas our tour guide along with Sophocles our driver were excellent. They ran the tour based on our comfort. Minhaas is extremely knowledgeable about Santorini. He has a pleasing personality . He made the whole day very memorable . Santorini overall is a beautiful place

I would definitely recommend this trip. To start off we booked the tour to start at 1:30, however with the size of our cruise ship, we didn’t make it to the meeting spot until 3:30! They were very understanding and waited on us. So if you’re on a large cruise ship, plan accordingly! The lines to the cable car are huge and I do not recommend the stairs! It’s 400 meters up and has over 300+ steps. My son and I took the steps while the wife and in-laws took the cable car. Wow! It’s a hike. You can also ride donkeys up the hill, but I don’t recommend that either. Do a Google search about the donkeys and you’ll see they don’t treat them right. Overworked, saddle sores, and in some cases they have spinal injuries. On our walk up you can see they look exhausted and I did not see them give them water. They stop them short of the water and turn them around. Oh, and their poop is all the way up. It’s all you smell and the wind will blow up the dried poo all over you. Anyways, enough on that. I just wanted you to be aware of that. I felt really bad for them. Once we met our driver Karametos Aris, he spoke good English and we had no problem communicating. He picked us up in a very nice Mercedes van with good A/C and dark tinted windows. He took us to all the popular spots and we were able to see just about the whole island in our now shortened time frame. We literally went to all sides of the island. He even took us to a small roadside shop where I could buy wine and their “moonshine” for a cheaper rate than in the tourist areas. If you want to see all the spots of the island, in luxury, in the amount of time you have, take this tour. You won’t be able to see it all on foot! Again, Karametos made the trip a heck of a lot better than I expected. Your tour guid can make it or break it and he definitely made it!

Fantastic tour of all the classic Santorini sights and more. Loved the hike to the hidden church in the hillside. Got a great feel for the “real” Santorini as well as the popular tourist sights. Learned a ton… Angelo is fantastic and incredibly nice. Came in on early morning flight and left at night, but really think I saw everything I wanted and didn’t even feel rushed. Sunset was magical. Would definitely recommend full day tour.

We had a wonderful day with Mary and our driver. The planning and execution of the tour was perfect. Mary’s knowledge of Santorini is extensive and we saw so much more than we would ever seen on our own. They made our day in Santorini wonderful.

What an amazing tour with an amazing company. Kostas our guide and Alex or driver were amazing! Not only did they take us to see the beaches, the towns, and everything else, Alex provided an extremely detailed tour of all the herbs and spices that seem to grow wild and natural on the island. It was a fun and unforgettable time and a great way to see almost everything there is to see on Santorini.

We elected to take this private tour, while friends on our cruise took a group tour. We saw so much more and learned so much more about the history and culture of the island with our guide Minas, who is an archaeologist by trade, and the tour was truly customized for our interests and preferences. Minas made the tour fun, interesting, comfortable, and truly showed us the incredible beauty and gave us a feel for the island and it’s people. We highly recommend this tour… and ask for Minas!!

This comes highly recommended.We were received by Marie our very friendly and knowledgeable guide and taken all over in a comfortable Mercedes van .Marie customised our tour according to our wishes and very enthusiastically showed every bit of the island. We had one of our best lunches at the Forty one restaurant. Marie is from Santorini and knows a great bit about the history. It was great .it was my birthday and she got me some desserts Our sunset view of Oia was far from the crowds and truly awesome Our driver too was very expert. Thanks a lot for the wonderful tour

Our tour guide, Mr. Andrew, was so knowledgeable and was also very accomodating as well as our driver, Mr. Alex. There was no boring moment during the tour.

We booked right away another tour! It was awesome the guides know the best places. The schedule can be fixed or flexible. It is up to you. They showed us also places we didn’t even know we need to see and it was great! The Bus is really luxury and has AC, you get also water served. I would recommend you to book a private tour because you can keep it flexible and don’t need to follow a specific schedule. I loved it!

What a way to see the island and get some peace of mind after all the lockdowns and time spent indoors. We were full of energy and excited to start this tour as we knew we had a lot to cover. The buses were so comfortable that after every stop it was like home heading to the next spot. Our guide was engaging and informative without getting too technical to make us feel bored. A great way to see the whole island in a day and take the most amazing pictures of your life.
