Our tour started off with a pick up at our hotel and ended with a fantastic meal. We stopped at so many places with scenic views of the island. Giannis was an excellent guide who provided us with historical information and entertaining conversation. Gavalas winery has amazing wine, friendly staff and was the perfect pre-dinner stop. Giannis taught us a few Greek words and recommended a fantastic restaurant at the black sand beach to complete our tour.

Itinerary
The prettiest and most popular town is located on the northern part of the island, famous for the traditional cave houses built on the cliffs, the Venetian castle and the breathtaking sunset. We will stroll through the village to the famous view point of the blue domed churches and give you the opportunity to take memorable pictures. After taking your postcard there you can have a cool drink admiring the cliff side view.
A quick stop at this small cute town to take pictures of another famous blue dome and admire the infinite blue of the Aegean sea.
It’s the highest spot of the island. From its top – at about 2000 feet (600 m) – you will enjoy the panoramic view over entire island and the Aegean sea. The Monastery was built in the 18th century and has an important collection of icons and artefacts of the Greek Orthodox religion.
Taste different types of volcanic wines along with snacks at one of the oldest wineries overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini.

What a fabulous time! One of the best tours we’ve done to date (voted from our entire group). @giannis flont was the BEST guide. We learned so much about the history of the Greek islands, Santorini specifically, got amazing photos & thoroughly enjoyed his recommendations on both wines and dinner venues, HIGHLY recommend!
We had an amazing tour with Giannis. Our group was three couples and he picked us up from our resort in Oia and showed us several picturesque spots throughout Santorini and taught us a ton about the island, region and history. We also toured the castle in Pyrgos (amazing views and history), had a wine tasting in Megalochori, and caught a beautiful sunset on the drive home. 100% recommend this tour and asking for Giannis specifically - he is super knowledgeable, friendly, and very adaptable to what the group wants to see and do.
We did a wine tour with Giannis and it was the best day! He was extremely knowledgeable about every detail and fact and was so attentive to our group. We enjoyed our time with him SO much; we booked him for the next day for a tour of Oia and a traditional village. He completely blew us away!! He knew all the special spots for photos of the blue domes and was patient while we took photos or sat down for a snack. Book him for the most amazing tour during your time on Santorini
Had a great wine tour! 3 amazing and very different wineries. Giannis was a very knowledgeable guide, took great care of us, and was enjoyable to talk to. Highly recommend.
Jannis is awesome! Must do in Santorini!
Our tour guide Yannis was extremely knowledgeable and flexible with our requests of what we wanted to see. He added in a few of his own suggestions and All were amazing! He may pick up and drop off very easy. I highly recommend this company.
We had a fabulous time touring Santorini. Loved hearing about the history and culture of this beautiful island. Our tour guide Giannis was wonderful. He was very friendly, patient and very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. We would highly recommend him and this tour!!! “Something happened here”!!!! Shout out to Giannis!!! Great JOB 😊
We made this trip on 7 May 2026. A group of 4 friends. Marios was our chauffeur and guide. He was very knowledgeable and added a lot of humour and stories to the places he took us. Also accommodating to our requests, took us to the secret gems in Oia, bet the queues to allow fantastic pictures, helped us to experience the wild beauty in the red beaches, the authentic Santorini in village of Megalochoria, enjoy the sunset at the lighthouse in Aktratori. Will highly recommend him to anyone who is keen to explore Santorini with varying interests.
The experience was outstanding! The whole transfer was amazing and the staff was so polite and accurate! Especially Michael-Angelos was a perfect driver, so kind, helpful and well informed about the roads and the history of the island to the point where everything went down smoothly! Cheers from Thessaloniki!
Mario was the best tour guide! He gave us s wonderful afternoon on Santorini. We explored the whole island with a wonderful stop at a winery. Mario is very knowledgeable and shared great information.
Michelangelo was our tour guide on this wonderful extensive tour of the island. We learned about the history, geography and culture while seeing fabulous scenic views. This is not to be missed if you really want to get to know Santorini.
Michelangelo is a great guide! And the island is magnificent! Beautiful landscapes, amazing food, great hospitality.
Our Guide Michael Paparetopoluis ( sorry if I misspelled), was the best tour guide I have had, plus the cutest 😇 He was both knowledgeable, polite and humorous. His command of the English Language was inviting as well as his patience in teaching me how to pronounce Greek words . While we had a 4 hr private tour, which I would suggest as bus loads of people following en mass trying to hear a guide is not what you want from your experience. Michael knew the rich history of the island and his culture as well as hitting the highlites of the Island . We did not feel we missed out on anything! Ask for Michael and you won’t be disappointed , oh the Mercedes van was so comfortable. Thank you
We had a great 3 hour private tour of the island with MichaelAngelo. He gave us plenty of interesting facts about the island and took us to lots of interesting places. Highly recommend it.
Little did we know how good the wines of Santorini are. After visiting three different wine estates we were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the wines, especially the white wines. Due to the unique microclimate, the Santorini soil and mist the bush vines produce exceptional wines. We had the please of meeting Mr Stefanos the winemaker at Anhydrous winery and he made the experience even more special with sharing the wine story of Santorini. Our Tour guide; Michaelides was professional, polite, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The wine tasting was brilliant with x4 wines to taste at each winery. Celia the winemaker sommelier at Argyros was very informative. The cherry on the cake was the sunset tasting experience at Santo wines on the cliffs. A wow 🤩 experience indeed. Wines to buy is not cheap, like most tourist attractions in Santorini but the wine tasting experience is well worth the money. We highly recommend this tour activity.
Had an excellent experience our guide Michael- Angelo . He was very knowledgeable and also very funny. Would definitely recommend for your Santorini tour
We had a great time with our tour guy Micheal Angelo. He was so knowledgeable and nice. He told us about the islands, the history. He took us to get some authentic food and we ended with purchasing gifts for our love ones.
Panos brought us around on a tailor made tour around the whole Santorini! We love it! 🥳 He is so funny and also an expert navigator! We love our 4 hours spent with him! Highly recommend if anyone is looking for a quick tour around the island! Thank you Panos! 😌 όπα 😝
The tour was great! Our driver was, Michael, was equally impressive!! We felt safe and comfortable. We even had time for an unscheduled stop.
Mike was fun and easy going. He was very flexible in our itinerary and had great suggestions for our short time on the island. Great communication in organising the trip before we came too.
My wife and I had an excellent tour of three wineries around Santorini made all the more enjoyable by our guide/driver Michaelangelo. We had considered organising our own transport and picking out some wineries but have no regrets about being taken to these wineries and having all of our random questions answered by someone (after tasting a dozen or so wines not having to organise a way back to the hotel is a big plus).
Highly recommend this tour if you only have a short time in Santorini. Our tour guide Michael Angelo was very informative and knew all the right spots to take us for great pictures. The wine tasting was also great! Got a lot of information about the wine of Santorini.
If you are looking for a private driver and guide I advice the best person is Miacel- Angllo.He is very kind professional ,helpful and friendly.He is a very nice person. He was the best guide.
We just did a 4 hour private tour with Michael today and I can’t say enough good things about him and our service! He was a wealth of knowledge and history about the island. We thoroughly enjoyed his humor as well as history and navigating us around the island to the spots we wanted to see as well as spots he recommended. We felt like we were in the car with a very good friend showing us around. I highly recommend this company and ask for Michael- you won’t be disappointed!
Marios was Very friendly and Very Nice to me. We went to visit the wine's business and It was a great experiencie. O really loved it. Thank you so much.
We hired Premium Tours for 8 people and had an absolutely fantastic time. Our tour guide Kostas was very knowledgable and also entertaining. He gave us excellent insight into Greek traditions in the secular and the religious space. What we really appreciated was the fact that we could customize the tour to our liking. For example, we did not want to visit the winery as everyone in our group had visited wineries multiple times. Instead we let Kostas recommend other places worth seeing. Overall a very enjoyable experience and to top it off Kostas was a very safe and responsible driver skillfully navigating the at times chaotic traffic. Perfect day.
The images my family and I captured were beyond words. Lefteris was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, while driving us to our wine tastings. He was extremely accommodating. His personality and patience with such a large group was impressive. The language difference was no issue. He communicated and comprehended details about reservations, our Airbnb, and many other topics. Overall, my family and I would rate him and this company a ten out of ten. Well done! This trip was unbelievable ❤️
Michael Angelo was fantastic. Nice Mercedes, even catered for the air con on freezing request. Fantastic knowledge of Santorini, wine tasting was a nice touch. 5*!
10/10 experience! Great mix of history, culture and wine. Beautiful views and Michilangelos was a terrific local host and guide.
Wonderful day with Michael F (the handsome one)! Brought us to all the best spots around the island, answered all our questions and took all the photos for us. Highly recommend!
Marios was a wonderful tour guide. Skip the line tour, inc glorious private areas. Great historical knowledge. And to end a wonderful day the vinery was superb.
Michael, great professional driver and a good entertainer. He showed us Santorini in 3 hours. Will recommend him as a driver but also as a tour guide.
This was the best private tour we have taken. Michael Angelo was the nicest person, very respectful, informative, and accommodating for any request we made along the way. He took us to Oia, Venetsanos Winery, profet Elias Monastery, and Akrotiri Pre-historic town and we enjoyed every single one of those places. Highly recommend this tour and definitely ask for Michael Angelo.
This was a great way to go around exploring Santorini. Michael was a great host and getting around in a luxury car was a nice touch for such a warm and windy day. The tasting included was amazing. Would recommend to anyone visiting Santorini.
Michael was a great guide. He has a great sense of humor, his English is excellent and he has knowledge and the passion to show Santorini to new visitors. He was very flexible in putting together our itinerary, which we changed on the fly. Highly recommended!
An amazing half day tour with Michael, we explored the south of the island and avoided the crowds. Michael was informative and generous with his knowledge. We ended at an amazing winery Venetsanos with views over the Caldera. Highly recommend to explore Santorini especially with limited time.
Michael was an amazing tour guide - safe driver, knowledgeable, friendly,. The best qualities..we saw the entire south side of Santorini including a winery..historic, beautiful views.. one of the best tour and tour guides ever.
Michael was an amazing tour guide. He showed us many interesting sights and knew the history of all and was full of so much information. We loved the day and highly recommend Michael and Santorini Premium Tours.
We had a great private tour with Marios. He showed us many interesting and picturesque spots on the island including the monestary, Akrotiri, the Red Beach, the traditional village of Megalochoiro, and Gavalas Winery. Marios was informative and very genuine and engaging. Marios took us off the beaten path to get the true vibe of Santorini.
Terry was our guide for the day and he did a fantastic job taking us around the island. He has an amazing personality and would definitely hire him again when we come back. He also knew of a very special restaurant that the locals eat at and it was amazing.
Took a tour of Santorini today with Michael. He was great! Michael was very knowledgeable and took us to the top destinations. He was very friendly and patient to teach us about the island’s history. Would definitely recommend.
Michael was fantastic and very informative. He took us to very scenic spots apart from our wine tour and was very accommodating. Even though we were late for the tour, he was able to call the wineries and keep our schedule, this is going above and beyond. We also were picked up from the airport with 7 big suitcases and he was well prepared to adjust them in. Overall we had a great experience and would love to come back and explore more.
Michael went above and beyond from the moment he picked us up at our hotel until drop off, to show us the best day in Santorini! He is so knowledgeable about the island (and Greece as a whole!), outgoing, and lots of fun. We shared lots of laughs, jokes, and made wonderful memories! If we could give him 10+ stars we would-highly recommend Michael and Santorini Premium Tours!
Lefteris was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable of the area on our tour. He helped us see the sights and accommodated our requests. Made the ride, sights and day go by smoothly and efficiently. Thank you for the experience!!
This was a great winery tour with Lefteris, who is new to this company but was a great driver and guide. We visited3 wineries, including the oldest on the island, the largest, and the one with the most spectacular views. Wines were good too! Highly recommended!!!!
Excellent tour! John our guide was wonderful, very informative and made the best of our time in Santorini. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.
There are plain(like bread).. regular tour guides and there is Giannis..! Great character with knowledge (in history, arts, alcohol..), brilliant asset with a great sense of humor, best wine tour ever! Request a tour with him and you will thank me after!
Giannis took my wife and I to three differently unique winery's across Santorini. His knowledge of wine and attention to detail was unmatched. We were grateful for his passionate expertise and friendly customer service. Giannis made our experience so much better than going by ourselves. We highly recommend you book this excursion with Giannis.
We had one day to see the most important sites on Santorini. Giannis expertly guided us to all the must see locations. We really appreciated his attention to detail and knowledge of the Island.At the sites he took us off the standard path to areas where we saw unique views. The tour was personalized, easy going, informative and fun. We had a fabulous day . We highly recommend Giannis.
