Santorini Highlights: Private Sightseeing Tour In Santorini

Thomas was a wonderful guide. We customized the itinerary and he knew Santorini very well. We had the best spots for the pictures in a nice air conditioned van with cold water! We ended with a wonderful lunch before heading off the island. It was great.

My wife and I booked the sunset tour yesterday evening, and I just wanted to say that our driver, George, was absolutely outstanding. From the outset, he made us feel completely at ease. He was like our minder, tour guide, and photographer all in one. George was so professional, friendly, and genuinely a lovely gentleman. I honestly cannot recommend your tour enough, and especially George. He really made the experience memorable for us.

Our day trip around Santorini was wonderful! From the start, Babis was responsive to all our messages and made us feel welcome even before we arrived! On the day my husband and I had Artemis as our tour guide, and he did a fantastic job! He met us with a very comfortable vehicle, and he immediately took the time to get a feel for what we were interested in. He then added his own suggestions so that we can have a complete and unique experience. Artemis was so warm and friendly, we couldn’t ask for a better guide! Thank you Simply Santorini Tours for making our short stay on your island so enjoyable!

We had 4 hrs to spare between getting off our ferry from Paros and our plane home . We had already spent a day in Oia at start of holiday but never got to see the rest of the island . Babas was amazing!! . Picked us up from the port promptly. He then took us to several amazing villages with great photo opportunities while stepping in as photographer. We even had a little time to stop off in beautiful Kamari next to Black Beach for a quick bite to eat. He explained in detail about the history of the island and we very much enjoyed chatting with him . He gave a whistle stop explanation at a local vineyard and explained quite clearly how the grapes grow in such a dry country and we then proceeded to Santo Wines for the Sunset where we were given front row seats to our last amazing sunset on the island . We were then dropped to the airport which was nearby. If you have a few hours to spare and just want to experience village life around Santorini , we highly recommend Simply Santorini and especially Babas . With his obvious local knowledge we found the most amazing quieter spots to view and appreciate . Don’t hesitate , just book .

They were able to personalise our tour to suit what we wanted to do on the island of Santorini for a group of 4 adults. The car was new an clean with amazing AC. Babis was so kind and lovely and took us to a local Taverna for the best and freshest seafood lunch and he guided us through the crowds with ease. Highly recommend for value and finding the hidden local gems.

Whether you are calling at Santorini by cruise ship or staying on the island I can highly recommend Santorini Highlights. We arrived by cruise ship and opted to book our own private tour rather than those promoted on board. We met our guide, Babis, in the main town. He spoke fluent English (other languages too) and his MERCEDES vehicle was very spacious and comfortable. Babis took us to all the main highlights of Santorini where we experienced the breathtaking views this picturesque Greek island has in abundance. We stopped several times and our tour ended back in Fira with time for a sundowner and dinner. Anyone looking for a private tour with an experienced and knowledgeable guide - look no further! PS Babis is an excellent photographer too! 👏👏👏😉

A Perfect Day in Santorini – Highly Recommend Babis as Your Guide! On August 11, I finally set foot on the island I’d been dreaming about for years — Santorini! If it’s your first time visiting and you only have a day or two to explore, my tips might save you a ton of time and make your trip unforgettable. Meet Babis, the Best Local Guide Ever! Let me just say this: if you want to see all the highlights without wasting time, Babis is your guy. At first, I heard his name and thought of Babyliss (yeah, I totally pictured a stylish young woman 😅) — but nope, he’s actually a super friendly, reliable, and easygoing gentleman. Thanks to him, we managed to hit all the must-see spots in just one day — places that would normally take two or three days to cover on your own. He knows every hidden gem and exactly where to go and when, so we never felt rushed or lost. Lunch at a True Local Spot For lunch, Babis took us to a real local favorite — not one of those overpriced tourist traps. The food was insanely good, portions were generous, and the prices were totally reasonable. Honestly, it was one of the best meals I had during my entire summer trip. Why This Trip Stands Out. This summer, I visited five different Mediterranean destinations, but Santorini with Babis was hands down the highlight of my whole vacation. Between the breathtaking views, the insider stories about the island’s history and culture, and his perfectly planned route, everything was just flawless. Final Thoughts If you want to: See all the best spots in Santorini without wasting time. Learn about the island’s history, culture, and daily life Enjoy amazing local food at non-touristy spots. And make the most of a short trip~!!! …then trust me — Babis is the guy you need. You won’t regret it. Enjoy your Santorini trip! 🌅🏖️

We only had one day in Santorini and my friend recommended Simply Santorini Tour, Babis is in the best! He took my family to the best spots for photos and videos, we had an amazing lunch at a local spot, he managed to take a beautiful picture at the Domes . He made our experience super memorable and enjoyable. Thank you so much and I hope see you next time!

We had so much fun with Kostas. He gave us an informative history lesson with a comedic touch. He also took us to great places to have ice-cream and lunch and found us a place to buy souvenirs that weren't too over priced. Lastly, he took us to the beach and also got us back to the cable car area in time to get us back on our cruise boat.

Constantine was the best tour guide. He was very funny and entertaining and very kid friendly. He brought us to some hidden gems for some beautiful photos. He was very accommodating to what we wanted to see. Hes a local with a wealth of knowledge of Santorini history. The van he drove had really good AC for the hot weather.

Absolutely fantastic tour! My favourite of our trip. Kostas is such a great tour guide, he's friendly, funny, knowledgeable. He comes across humble and proud of everything that makes greece and santorini a wonderful place to visit. The transport was clean, fresh and excellent air con. Kostas takes you around santorini showing you all the sights and while providing a good history and cultural talk which is humouring and funny. Our kids absolutely loved him. The tour stops are scenic, and he manages to avoid all the long cues. There are no tourist traps on this tour. No hassle. To finish we went to an amazing Greek restaurant... Family owned and the food was top quality. We even had a swim in the beautiful santorini sea. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

We had an amazing time with Artemis in Santorini! There were 10 of us and it was an extremely hot day. Artemis made sure we had the best experience. He started by asking us what we wanted to do and recommended some places, most of which were not the most touristy places. This was supposed to be a 4-hours tour, but it ended up being 6…at no extra charge! We visited a couple small villages, went to the highest point in Santorini, visited to red sand beaches, stopped in Klamath for a swim and early dinner and, of course, walked around Fira for a bit. Artemis even took us to his own church and let us in to walk around! He told us all about the history of the island and the places we visited, and was awesome with the kids in our group! All in all a fantastic experience that was exactly what we had hoped for! Thanks so much for the amazing time, Artemis! You can’t go wrong with this company!

Went here on our Honeymoon & got the absolute best service. Babis was a local driver which gave us insight into the true history and appreciation that they have for Santorini. It was the perfect combination of leisure fun and history. We personally loved the background information but Babis is very understanding and ensures that you see and learn what is actually interesting to you! Cherry on top, he took us to a wine tasting at the end! It was awesome all around

This tour was amazing! Babis was so welcoming, informative, and provided a personal touch that made the overall experience truly so worth it. We came here for our honeymoon and loved our experience with Babis. We would recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing all of and learning about Santorini while here! We loved every minute of our experience.

Bobis was amazing! He was able to plan our tour around the time of day based on crowds and tourists. He knows all the secrets to avoid the crowds and provide a true personal experience of the island. The information he provided about the island and area was so helpful and enlightening, he answered every question. Being born and raised here, Babis was able to share about the rich history of the island while providing his own experiences. The sights of the island are only part of the tour, Bobis makes you feel like local family while providing wonderful local secrets for dining and shopping too. Thank you for a wonderful day.

From the minute I booked the tour, I felt completely relaxed. Lots of communication beforehand and Babis suggested going earlier to avoid the crowds as cruise ships were due on the same day. The tour around the island was perfect, with Babis giving us lots of info, only known by locals. We all had a great time and can honestly say it’s one of the best trips we’ve done. Would definitely recommend.

This tour company calmed me down when I got extremely excited because our Tender was running late because of rough waters in Satorini, They assured me everything was gonna be fine. We had to make special arrangements to pick up more passengers after he picked us up and he explained how to get up to him with the cable car, and they were waiting with my name on a sign so that there was no problem. The tour was wonderful. The tour guide was wonderful. I would recommend this tour and this tour company to anyone going to Satorini Greece.. We booked a private tour and it was truly a wonderful experience.

Excellent tour guide, 5/5, Babis showed us prominent places, and gave very thorough explanations including history.

Our tour was excellent and personalize we whent to all the beautiful places and avoided big crowds, our tour guide Babis was very kind and knowledgable about the history of Santorini and knew all the right spots, he took us to an amazing restaurant ( Psaraki Seafood Restaurant) where we have the most memorable lunch! Food and service were excellent

Can not say enough positive things about Babis. From even before we were picked up, he had offered 5 star service. He reached out to confirm the tour and pick up location and graciously accommodated our preference to start a bit later than planned. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the island. Each stop he offered recommendations, took pictures, shared local context and his own family experience. It was an ideal way to see and learn about the island away from the crowds in a clean, comfortable vehicle with a true local.

We reached out to Babis as a referral from a referral. This is what I love most about Greece. Everyone works together and they keep their promises!!! Babis sent a wonderful driver, he was prompt, knowledgeable, and his English was great!!! We had a five hour tour of Santorini, we saw so many things!!! This is such a great way to see the island. If you are in a cruise, this is so much more economical. The experience was top notch. Of all the tours I have done, this one was the best. (And I have been many places). Thank you Mr Babis!!! Please book with this company…Vehicle is good size and clean. Service is excellent!!! 5+*!!

Babis was an amazing guide and catered to all our needs. Very knowledgeable and showed us some amazing sites. Highly recommend!

Excellent local tour with many insights to the history and local culture. Artemis, a local to the island, gave us an incredible tour. Starting with a number of popular options, he also asked for our preferences and created a custom tour. A winery was one of our interests and he made arrangements with a local winery and host for a tasting. Artemis was also mindful of the time and adjusted routes and expectations throughout. He was very personable. In the end we feel we got the best tour possible to experience the best parts of Santorini. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a high quality custom tour experience.

10/10 experience and worth every penny! Babis was our guide for the day AND he’s a local! He has so much knowledge of the island and the history. He took us to a few spots that were outside of our initial itinerary and that made it feel even more special. He took us to a perfect spot in Oia for the sunset and was kind enough to take beautiful photos for us at every stop. I would recommend any and everyone to take a private tour of Santorini with Simple Santorini Tours.

Babis was absolutely first class with local knowledge, attitude and welcoming personality, an absolute gentleman. A definite must if you visit Santorini.

Babis is a wealth of knowledge. He shared a great deal of history and facts about the island. He took us to many places that are off the normal tourist path. He is a very cautious and safe driver. He brought us a sweet treat from the local bakery. He delivered us to a nice restaurant near the beach. Good food and drinks and a beautiful beach. Babis is a kind and caring tour guide. Would definitely tour with him again!

I booked a tour with Babis to enjoy a tour of the island in private. It was the most amazing experience!! We did a five hour tour which started with being picked up at our hotel, and ended with a wine tasting and drop back to our hotel. Babis was amazing - from start to finish , he knew everything there is to know about Santorini, took us all through Fira, Oia and other surrounding towns. We got to see caves, the older buildings and learnt so much of this beautiful island. It was such an enjoyable incredible experience. I would 10/10 recommend Simply Santorini Tours to anyone visiting the island ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Babis was our host for our private land tour and he was amazing from start to finish! He was incredibly knowledgable (answered all the questions we had), friendly and personable. He let us customise the trip but also gave very helpful input when we asked for it, he covered lots of areas in the short time we had and even though we were running out of time, we didn’t feel hurried or rushed. We had a great time with Babis, highly recommend. Thank you Babis!

First time to Santorini and Babis made our experience even more enjoyable by his knowledge of this beautiful island. His van was very comfortable and he also had ice cold water which was very much appreciated 😊

Booked a group and Babbis was beyond my expectations. The professionalism, the service, the knowledge and the friendless was so very appreciated by EVERYONE in our group. One of the MOST thorough excursions I've participated in. We were able to see so much of Santorini that I had to refer him to friends traveling that same week!! EXCEPTIONAL

Fantastic day thank you so much. We spent the day travelling around Santorini and Babis was a great guide, he was very friendly and informative. Would really recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic tour! Babis was our guide and whisked us all around the island for a highlights tour during our cruise stop. It was a spectacular day with a very special guide in Babis. He was fun, caring, and informative, and took excellent care of our whole family, including our three young kids. Please book this tour—you will not regret a minute of it!

During our recent visit to Santorini, we had the pleasure of taking a five-hour luxury mini van tour with Simply Santorini Tours, guided by the wonderful Babis. This experience was truly the highlight of our trip, offering a perfect blend of breathtaking sights, local insights, and unforgettable moments. **Professionalism and Warm Hospitality:** From the moment Babis picked us up, it was clear we were in for a special day. He greeted us with a warm smile and a wealth of knowledge about the island. The mini van was impeccably clean, comfortable, and luxurious, making our journey around Santorini both relaxing and enjoyable. **Tailored Experience:** What stood out most was how personalized the tour felt. Babis took the time to understand our interests and preferences, tailoring the itinerary to make sure we experienced the very best of Santorini. Whether it was exploring hidden gems or visiting iconic spots, he ensured that each stop was meaningful and memorable. **Exploring Santorini’s Beauty:** We visited a variety of stunning locations, from picturesque villages to panoramic viewpoints. Babis's deep knowledge of the island's history, culture, and hidden treasures made each stop even more special. He shared fascinating stories and insights that brought the island to life in a way we hadn't experienced before. **Sunset at Franco's Cafe in Pyrgos:** The grand finale of our tour was the sunset at Franco's Cafe in Pyrgos, a truly magical experience. Babis timed everything perfectly so that we arrived just as the sky began to transform into a canvas of vibrant colors. We enjoyed a relaxing drink as we took in the breathtaking views, a perfect end to our day. **Conclusion:** Our tour with Babis from Simply Santorini Tours was more than just sightseeing; it was an immersive journey through the heart of Santorini, filled with warmth, beauty, and unforgettable memories. If you're looking for a truly personalized and luxurious way to explore Santorini, we cannot recommend this tour enough. Babis's expertise, hospitality, and passion for the island made this experience one we will cherish forever.

Best ever!!! Our guide was simply amazing. Highly recommend thus tour. I am so very happy I chose this company for my family. Loved every minute!!!!

Absolutely incredible tour with Artemis. He took us to all the gems of Santorini including ones most tourists miss out on. He was so funny and kept children engaged. One of the best tours we have ever done! Absolutely spectacular

Having grown up on Santorini, Bibas has an incredible knowledge of the island. A truly fascinating and beautiful excursion, and a great way to see the island. Bibas was an excellent host. We were enjoying it so much we added on an extra hour. I would highly recommend you talk to Bibas about what you would like to see and he will make your trip to Santorini one you will never forget.

Babis was excellent!!!! Very knowledgeable because he grew up on Santorini He showed us the hidden gems of the island , explained the history and on short notice accommodated our schedule picked us up at requested time completed the tour and had us on time at the restaurant we had reserved earlier Top quality all the way around Santorini’s Best Tour !!!!!!!🤙 and the homemade cookies were out of this world

Our Tour guide Babis was exceptional, he went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect sitting in all The sites he could going out of his way, even had a little extra. He was very attentive and knowledgeable about the island and we all came away learning new facts about Santorini. He was very kind and even brought us some local fresh made Greek pies which were amazing. The transportation was also very comfortable with air-conditioning. We would definitely recommend this private tour. It was a great day for us all.

Babis gave us all we hoped for- and more. Great to have as our driver and guide,a person born on the island with such a wealth of knowledge about Santorini and its history. Could not have been more accommodating in ensuring we saw the sights we wanted to visit. We would definitely recommend this company for a personalised tour of the island in a very comfortable air conditioned vehicle.

Babis is an amazing local tour guide who was extremely knowledge about the island, so friendly, and excellent English! Absolutely worth it to see santorini with a local! If you only have a few days on the island, you should absolutely book a tour with him! He shows you all of the well known spots as well as the lesser known ones. Thank you, Babis for an unforgettable day!
