Top Santorini Half-day Tours - page 5

What a wonderful tour! After getting off our tenders we boarded a ferry around the island then boarded a Mercedes minivan for an intimate tour of Santorini. There was a lot of driving but it was very scenic. We're able to get the iconic pictures of the island despite the crowds. Our guide Santiago and driver Chris were fantastic 😊. They pointed out amazing scenic points as we were driving and slowed down for us to take pics. They were knowledgeable and we had wonderful conversations. Location was easy to find and signage was clear. Definitely recommend!

My husband, 9 year old and I did a day trip to Santorini (traveling from Naxos). We did the 4 hour private tour with Dimitris and it was an excellent way to see a lot of the island in a short amount of time. We learned history and efficiently made our way around in air conditioned comfort. With more time perhaps local buses and taxis would be okay - but everything is very spread out - so this tour worked better for us. Highly recommend!!

I cannot share enough positives about the experience we received from our tour of Santorini provided by Kallisti Private Tours. While most passengers on our cruise ship were displeased with their tour experience provided by the cruiseline, it was our favorite experience over two weeks in Greece. Theodore, our driver, was extremely informative, engaging, and knew how to navigate the city in efficient ways and avoid big crowds and long lines. We hit all of the typically crowded tourist areas before the crowds, took a fabulous winery tour and tasting, shopped where the Greek pottery is actually made, and ate at a great restaurant on the beech. Our deepest gratitude goes to Theodore and Kallisti Private Tours for a day of special memories. We give them our highest recommendation without reservation!

A HUGE THANK YOU! Gregory was Fantastic, Excellent, Helpful & Extremely knowledgeable! He was friendly considerate and picked us up at the gate of AirB&B and made U turn (with a huge van) to drop us off at the doorstep of AirB&B. He really didn’t have to. Tour was worth every Euro. Best Tour guide EVER! Thank you: Euxaplotw (ef-khah-ree-STOH!

If we could give Petra Kouzina more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! This cooking class was worth our entire trip to Santorini. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed like family. George and Paula are truly incredible people whose passion, vision, and love story shine through in every aspect of the experience. The food was beyond amazing—authentic, fresh, and some of the best we had during our time in Greece. But what makes Petra Kouzina so special is that it’s much more than a cooking class. It’s an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, culture, connection, and genuine hospitality. You can feel the heart and soul that George and Paula have poured into creating this experience, and it shows in every detail. We cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re visiting Santorini, this is an absolute MUST DO. Seriously—if you skip Petra Kouzina, you’re missing out on one of the best experiences the island has to offer. Thank you, George and Paula, for the memories, the incredible food, and an experience we’ll never forget! ❤️Robin & Andy

This tour became a highlight of our time on Santorini, and Nick, our driver and guide, set the tone from the first stop. He’s a sommelier, and it showed. We learned about the island’s wines and its volcanic terroir, and he shared all of it through real conversation. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. The lineup of gave us a real feel for Santorini’s wines, the Assyrtiko especially, and we ended up buying two bottles to bring back. We started with a tasting and a real lesson in the island’s vines, moved on to a lovely dinner at the second stop, then finished on the caldera with sunset views. Smoothly run, unhurried, and personal from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good wine and good company. Thank you, Nick!!!

This tour is the perfect way to see all the key parts of the island. The small group size really enabled us to experience a lot of the island in a short amount of time. Our tour guide Theo was phenomenal. He truly customized the tour based on our interests and the other tours we were planning to take during our trip. Theo was friendly, informative, and made sure we had a memorable experience. We booked this tour on our first full day in Santorini, and it was the perfect way for us to get acquainted with the island!

We were on a 6 hour tour with Sara who was a wonderful tour guide! She asked us what we wanted to see while in Santorini, so of course we said the views. Sara knew all of the best places for gorgeous views! We saw Fira, Oia, and some smaller local villages. We also had lunch at a local restaurant at the black sand beach which was delicious, especially the fresh fish.
