Top Santorini Attractions: 5-hour Custom Private Tour With Local

Our 5-hour private tour with Santorini Tours was the perfect introduction to Santorini. Themis was punctual, welcoming, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We explored Oia, Fira, and several breathtaking viewpoints while learning about the island's history, culture, and local traditions. The flexible itinerary allowed us to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. Some of the best locations required walking and climbing stairs, but the incredible views made every step worthwhile. Comfortable shoes are definitely recommended. If you have limited time and want a personalized, well-organized experience with a knowledgeable local driver, this tour is an excellent choice. Highly recommended for first-time visitors.

Me and my family were fortunate enough to go on several guided tours while visiting Italy, Greece and Turkey. By far, none compared to the OUTSTANDING experience we had during our time with tour guide Themis. The tour was well-paced and allowed us to explore as if were locals living the experience of Santorini - something the other tours lacked. Themis presented not just facts and history, but his personal story and experience living on the island which brought a visceral element to his tour. His pride and passion for the land he loves came through and made it a connected and memorable experience for us all.

Our guide Mary was amazing. Her knowledge of Santorini and it’s history was unending. We totally enjoyed her company, her expert direction and fantastic information. Our driver Dimitrios was also excellent. Our tour in Santorini was wonderful.

We booked an evening sunset tour with Themistoklis the 🇬🇷Greek-American🇺🇸. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to see some amazing places we would have never come across. The views were outstanding and we wouldn’t have found them without Themistoklis! He’s was extremely knowledgable about the island and its history which was amazing to hear and then he took us to the nightlife in Fira which is exactly what we came for! We had an amazing night and would definitely recommend anyone to book to see more of the island! 🌅🇬🇷🧿

Our family had a blast! Our tour guy was the best! He was attentive to each member. He assisted in ordering drinks for everyone and offered multiple rest areas. He knows the quickest and best spots for pictures. We love Themistoklis Kalivas!! Highly recommend this tour for any first timer to Santorini!!!

Our customized tour was fantastic and the tour guide, Mary was incredible and very knowledgeable. The tour included an arranged guided tour of Akrotiri, a wonderful lunch and beach stop at Perivolos Beach (incredible), tour of Megalochori, and the Prophet Elias Monastery. Mary recommendations for additional sites to see and restaurants across the island enhanced and added great local flare to our trip. The ability to customize the tour to met our interests was much appreciated.Highly recommend!

Muriel was a wonderful guide and took us to some beautiful places on the island, away from the busy touristic places. We particularly enjoyed the small local village and the cave house.

Our guide, Mary, provided incredible insight to the sites we visited. Plenty of time was allowed for casually walking through the attractions all the while hearing insights about the area from Mary. Along with the driver, they were waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and after a beach front lunch they returned us to the airport for our return to Athens.

We had the BEST time with Santorini Tours when we visited in August. We were a family of 6 and had the time of our lives. They were able customize our tour based upon what we all wanted to do. The absolute highlight of our trip was ending up at an organic farm with our tour guides and enjoying an authentic meal together. I cannot recommend Santorini Tours enough! We will use them when we inevitably come back!

This was my wife’s bucket list destination and it exceeded our expectations. Our Driver FOTIOS helped make Santorini come to life. We were on a cruise ship so we’re worried about the crowds so we picked a private tour. FOTIOS picked us up at the port and since we were in a small private car he beat all the crowds to Oia. We stopped along the way to several amazing spots for pictures and still beat the crowds. We felt like we had Oia to ourselves for the first hour or so that we were there. Just walking those streets without all the crowds really made all the difference in the world. FOTIOS showed us all the cool spots to take pics. He let us set our time and never pushed us to hurry like some guides. Next he took us to a restaurant for lunch that was not near the tourist traps. It was absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic and the views being right on the ocean really made it amazing. Fotios helped us order several traditional Greek seafood entrees. The food was better than we could have ever guessed. Overall I highly recommend this tour and ask for Fotios because he treated us like family and helped our one day there fulfill all of my wife’s dreams. Thank you again Santorini Tours and thank you FOTIOS!

Our guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was able to customize our tour, since we have a son with a disability. We kept our walking to a minimum, since stairs are difficult for him. She made Santorini much more meaningful for us!

We met Ted, our English tour guide, at the cable cars from there he guided our group of 9 on a customized tour of Santorini with our driver Alex. Both Ted and Alex knowledge of the island was amazing. The tour was both insightful and amazing. We saw all the magnificent views of Santorini, historical sites and toured a winery. It was a great day that left all of us wanting more! I highly recommend Santorini Tours - they were easy to deal with from start to finish and provide a Superior Service!!!

We took the Santorini half day private 5- hour tour. Our tour guide Angelo was fantastic, He met us at the Fira cable car exit and for 5 hours we were in his excellent care. He took us to see magnificent views of Santorini, historic churches picturesque villages and wonderful local sites. We were provided coffee and local snacks and he took us to a wonderful local restaurant (Afros) across from the black sand beach in Thira. Angelo insured we tasted all the local Greek dishes. Santorini Tours provided a superb experience and I would highly recommend them.

I arranged for a private group tour, and our guide, Andreas was wonderful. We all loved him! He speaks English fluently and was very friendly to all of us. He knows Santorini very well and he even took us for a good local meal. Can’t wait to take my group on this same tour. We had so much fun on the beautiful island!!!
