Santorini Private Tour – See The Best Of The Island In 6 Hours

Our tour guide Stavros was excellent! Very knowledgeable and friendly person! Hope to meet again soon!

Our private all day tour of Santorini exceeded our expectations in every way! The driver was professional, friendly, and so knowledgeable about Santorinis culture and history. He made the day effortless and completely enjoyable for us, and tailored the day to avoiding the inevitable crowds when cruise ships are in port. He took us to places we would have never found on our own and was very patient when we wanted to stop at viewpoints for pictures! The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, we never felt rushed and the perfect little taverna was recommended for lunch. Thank you, Epitome Travel, for our wonderful day in Santorini!

Logistics we're smooth, pick up, comfortable transport, enough time at each location etc. You get flexibility in one day to experience the main parts of the island.

From the very beginning, everything was handled smoothly. Pick-up was exactly on time, and the van was clean, spacious. What stood out the most was how effortlessly Alex mixed history, local stories, and light humor.

We arrived and was jet lagged, but this tour reset my mood. We enjoyed so much and I'll recommend if you want something calm, real, and uncomplicated in Santorini, this tour delivers without trying too hard.

We love each and every moment in santorini, Alex and Stavros both were great with us and especially with kids, they are really professional.

Was traveling solo in santorini and wanted to see more than just the usual touristy spots. This private tour actually turned out better than expected. I could actually enjoy the views instead of constantly checking the time. Great option if you're solo.. Just an easy.

We had a great time. Mikas was our guide and he was so knowledgeable, which really made the tour interesting. I would heartily recommend the tour for anyone who wants a personalized tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide.

First off, the van felt like a VIP lounge with Ac, WiFi (thank the gods). Alex shared architectural history, volcanic geology, and island folklore in a way that didn't feel like a lecture. All in all we learned so much while seeing Santorini's best.

Finishing up at the Monastery of Profitis Ilias at the very top was epic, you could see the whole island from there! Our guide was great, gave us enough time everywhere, and was really friendly.

Ending the day at the monastery of profitis Ilias on the island's highest peak gave us truly unforgettable views of all of santorini. We had enough time at each stop and sharing interesting details.

The guide was friendly and we enjoyed this tour of Santorini and we had ample time to relax and soak in the atmosphere. It was a well thought out itinerary and covered iconic spots such as Oia, Fira, and the stunning Red Beach. A day we will always remember.

Overall, the tour was organized properly and we appreciate how it balanced activities with some downtime. For us, the highlight was a stop at the volcanic beach, where we had some time to relax and enjoy a swim. This tour gave us a great taste of what this beautiful island has to offer.

This full day tour was the best way to see the highlights without the stress of planning everything ourself. We particularly liked the visit to Oia, where we had sufficient of time to explore the charming streets and experience the breathtaking views of the caldera.

The guide was not only friendly but also knowledgeable about the island’s history and culture. We had ample time to explore, take photos and even grab a coffee at a local eatery. We had an enjoyable day.

We got a passionate guide and we explored charming villages. We experienced the charm of traditional architecture and the warmth of the locals. It was not just a day out, it was a day we will remember for a long time.

The 6-hour tour with Stavros was exactly what we hoped for. We got to see some amazing spots, both popular and more quiet, and everything felt well-balanced. Stavros was a friendly and professional guide, giving us space to enjoy, but always there when we had questions. It was a relaxed way to explore the island without rushing from place to place.

This tour gave us a really nice overview of the island, not just the views, but also the local feel. The timing was well managed, and we never felt rushed. It was the kind of experience where you get to enjoy the scenery, learn a bit along the way, and still feel relaxed the whole time. Simple, smooth, and very enjoyable.

We really enjoyed the 6-hour tour with Stavros. It gave us a nice balance between the iconic spots and quieter, more authentic areas. Each stop had its own character, and the pacing felt just right — never rushed, but never slow. Stavros was welcoming, informative, and made us feel comfortable from the start. The vehicle was clean and spacious, and everything ran smoothly. It was a great way to experience Santorini in a more personal and relaxed way.

We booked the 6-hour tour with Stavros and it was a great way to see different sides of the island without feeling rushed. Oia was as beautiful as expected, and Megalochori was a nice contrast — quiet, traditional, and very charming. The stops at the Lighthouse, Red Beach, and Black Beach gave us a good mix of views and landscape variety. Profitis Ilias offered a great panoramic view to end the tour. Stavros was professional, easy to talk to, and gave us helpful information without overloading us. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable, which made the ride between stops very smooth. It’s a solid choice if you want to see both the well-known highlights and some more local areas of Santorini in half a day.

This tour is exactly what we were looking for - a mix of famous sights and local gems. Stavros took us to Oia early before the crowds, then to the quite village of Megalochori, which had so much charm. We also visited the Lighthouse for incredible caldera views and saw both the Red and Black beaches, which gave us a real feel for the island's volcanic beauty. Profitis Ilias was another great stop - the highest point of the island with amazing panoromic views. Stavros was a wonderful guide throughout calm, professional and full of interesting local stories without overdoing it. If you want to explore beyond the basics and see Santorini's true character, this tour is the choice.

Our 6 hour tour with Stavros was an absolute delight. He picked us up right on time in a sleek, air-conditioned van and took us through the most iconic and scenic parts of Santorini. From the magical views in Firostefani and Oia to the charming backstreets of Megalochori and the dramatic cliffs near the lighthouse. Every stop felt like it had a purpose. Stavros is more than a guide, he’s a storyteller. He shared history, local culture, and personal anecdotes that gave real depth to the experience. The timing was perfect, with enough of time to explore, take pictures, and also enjoy each spot without ever feeling rushed. Highly recommended if you want a half-day tour that still gives you the full magic of Santorini, guided by someone who truly loves his island.

Our 6-hour private tour with Stavros was the best part of our trip. He picked us up in a luxury van and showed us the most breathtaking spots on the island, stunning caldera views, charming villages, and a fantastic winery with local wines and amazing scenery. Starvos was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience feel personalized and relaxed. If you want to see the real Santorini in comfort and style, don't miss this tour. Worth every Euro !!!

This was the most amazing activity we did on this trip. Stavros was our Tour Guide and he is the sweetest and most polite person. He made the experience so memorable that he made us fall in love with Santorini. He showed us all the amazing spots, explained everything about the places and even the history of the places in a very detailed but, easy to understand manner. He was also patiently waiting for us to explore all the places in our own time and even took us to an authentic Greek restaurant for traditional Greek food. Stavros showed us every part of the Island may it be east, west, north or south of Santorini and it's bound to make you want to come back again because Santorini is just so beautiful. After the tour ended he even told us some recommendations for places and restaurants near our hotel which were very helpful.

Our 6-hour private tour with was simply outstanding! From start to finish, everything was seamless and luxurious. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and tailored the experience to our preferences. We explored breathtaking spots like Oia, Imerovigli, and Pyrgos, enjoying stunning views and a fantastic wine-tasting experience at a top winery "Estate Argyros". The luxurious vehicle and VIP service made the journey even more special. For a first-class, private Santorini experience, it is the perfect choice.

I highly recommend Stavros if you are planning on visiting Santorini, he is very polite and has alot of knowledge about Santorinis history. He drove us around the whole island explaining along the way each point of interest. I also had a list of hidden spots that I had seen on Instagram and Stavros made sure to stop at each location for us to see and take amazing pictures👌🏼 Also I'm very greatful with Stavros we lost our connection flight before arriving in Santorini I contact him from Germany explaining our situation and I was very concerned because we got rebooked and were going to arrived in Santorini after midnight and the car rental office would be closed, he didn't hestitate and offered to pick us up at the airport and transport us to our hotel! Very greatful!
