What are people saying about Santorini

Haley_C, Aug 2026

Fantastic day in Santorini

Our family had a wonderful 4 hours in Santorini thanks to our knowledgeable guide Dimitri. We were able to see beautiful views of the caldera, take the iconic picture with the blue dome roofs, wander around traditional towns, and catch the sunset before returning back to the cable car station to catch our cruise. Dimitri went above and beyond to accommodate what we wanted to do with what we were physically limited to do as we had elderly members in our party. For anyone looking to see the best of Santorini in a limited amount of time, we would highly recommend this tour!

Santorini Half-Day Small Group Tour: Villages, Oia, Caldera Views

Christine_M, Aug 2026

Amazing half-day in Santorini with Nefeli!

Our guide Nefeli was fantastic — knowledgeable, warm, and clearly loves sharing her island. The tour hit all the highlights: charming villages, stunning caldera views, and beautiful Oia. One of the best surprises was a coffee stop at an incredible little establishment with wonderful wine and the friendliest staff — the kind of authentic spot you'd never find on your own. Perfect pacing for a half-day, especially coming off a cruise ship. Highly recommend!

Small Group Sightseeing Tour: All Santorini’s Treasures

Dorissa_H, Aug 2026

Santorini Tour 🇬🇷

We had an incredible experience exploring Santorini with Nikolaos! He was warm, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of the island. Rather than rushing us from one stop to the next, he took the time to make sure we experienced the hidden gems as well as the iconic sights. His honesty, local knowledge, and friendly personality made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. We never felt like just another group of tourists—he truly wanted us to fall in love with Santorini, and we did. If you’re looking for an authentic, memorable experience with someone who genuinely cares about showing you the very best of the island, we highly recommend him. Thank you! 🇬🇷

Ian_D, Aug 2026

A great day on Santorini

The ladies on the dock did a fantastic job getting us all together and to the tender. George, our guide, was very informative and entertaining. In the short time we were on the island we got to see a lot of beautiful sights and learned much about the island.

Maree_D, Aug 2026

History enriched tour

We were so glad we did this skip the line tour, as the cable car queue was extremely long. George, our guide was were knowledgeable, telling us all sorts of interesting facts about Santorini. We went to places we would not have seen if not for the tour. We explored many areas in our 5 hour time frame. Our driver was great on the busy narrow roads. Thanks to him and George for a fabulous day. Highly recommend.

Sunny Santorini

Our guide Tasos was incredible. He gave us a lot of good information and took us to some outstanding places. He was funny, personable and knowledgeable about Santorini. I highly recommend him. He took us to a restaurant for lunch off the beaten path which was incredibly good. We loved everything about our tour and would not hesitate to book with Viator again. Thanks for a great experience!

Santorini Must-See Highlights Private Tour

Denise_M, Jul 2026

Great tour for family of 5

This is a great tour if you prefer small, private tours over the larger group tours and want to get a really good overview of the island. We did the 5 hour tour and really enjoyed the sites we got to see. When we stopped in the local village, we ended up eating lunch there so we didn’t get to see the red beach or black beach, so timing and the amount of things to see is really up to you, which is nice. Zafiris, our tour guide, was really knowledgeable and I learned a lot about Santorini from the tour.

Heather_W, Jul 2026

Great Day!

We had an excellent expirience on this tour. The only thing was initially when we found them with the sign there was well over 100 people waiting for the same excursion. That scared me ! BUT they divided us into groups so once the boat got us to our destination we went on large vans with about 18 others. Our guide ( I wish I could remember her name because she was amazing) was wonderful. Santorini was nothing I expected but I am glad to have expirienced it. Got a good amount of time at each stop and the best part was the tiny village at the end! Would absolutely recommend this excursion

Santorini Shore Excursion: Private Tour with Tender Port Pickup

Anita, Jul 2026

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!

Santorini's Iconic Villages: Oia, Imerovigli & Firostefani

Jennie_K, Jul 2026

It's a small,...

It's a small, semi-private group tour but we got lucky since there were no cruise ships docked on the day of our tour. We had the tour guide/driver to ourselves and he did a great job of taking us to see the main sites of Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani. We got some great stories and interesting history behind each of the stops and we were able to explore Oia at leisure for about an hour.
