The absolute BEST way to see Santorini—Tasos is a legend!

If you are coming to Santorini on a cruise, do not book the big boat excursions—book this tour instead! From the moment we stepped off our cruise ship to the second we were dropped back off (with plenty of time to spare!), our day was seamless, stress-free, and utterly unforgettable. Our guide, Tasos, was phenomenal. Right out of the gate, he laid out every possible site we could visit and helped us curate the perfect custom itinerary to see the entire island. Because of his expert planning, we got quick, hassle-free access to all the major spots while totally bypassing the massive lines and crowds from the cruise ship tour groups. The sites were spectacular, the food was incredible, and the entire day felt effortlessly tailored to us. As a HUGE BONUS, Tasos is also a professional photographer! He knew all the secret, postcard-worthy angles and took the most incredible photos of our group throughout the day. We walked away not just with amazing memories, but with framed-worthy pictures. We couldn’t have asked for a better day in Santorini. Thank you, Tasos! 10/10 recommendation! Visited: Oia, Black Sand Beach, Red Beach, Art Space Winery, drove past Pyrgos, drove past Windmills of Santorini, and several other locations.

The best of Santorini

Our trip to Santorini was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to Dimitris, our incredible driver and guide! Not only was the driving stress-free in the summer heat, but his local knowledge brought the island to life. Engaging, professional, and deeply passionate about the island, we couldn't have asked for a better host. Thank you for making our time here so special!

Santorini Full Day Tour: Fira, Oia Sunset & Beach (Small Group)

Pamela_P, Jul 2026

Best tour of Santorini!

This was an amazing 10-hour tour with our brilliant guide, Gregory. We visited different parts of Santorini and were given plenty of time at each stop to explore and take photos. Gregory has a wealth of knowledge and a true passion for this beautiful island; we learned so much interesting information from him about both local life and history. We were so pleased that we decided to pay the extra fee for the interactive and extremely fun musical show at Symposion. If you are unsure about booking it, honestly, go for it—you will not be disappointed! The included wine tasting was also a lovely part of the tour. We tried some wonderful wines and had the opportunity to purchase them at the end. The sunset in Oia was the perfect end to the day. We had plenty of time to look around Oia before finding a prime spot to view the sunset, and Gregory gave us some great tips on where to go. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough, and having Gregory as our guide was the best decision we made! Thank you Gregory!

Great time with a...

Great time with a knowledgeable guide, free water bottles and air conditioned van. We got to see the main highlights of the island, the photo spots and some hidden gem village spots! Very good driver! Easy communication and coordination. I don’t recommend bringing young children, there is a decent amount of walking and little shade and the break for lunch wasn’t until 3 pm. Lunch isn’t included so bring card or cash. Overall I definitely recommend this tour to make the most of a day seeing all that Santorini has to offer!

Our driver for the tour was amazing and took us all over to see all the local spot and a few hidden gems. Would definitely recommend this tour, we got amazing pictures and fantastic gelato, we even found our own pumice to take home. We were underground to look at the homes and where the people of the town live. It was fantastic!
