Santorini Highlights Private Tour

Gregory_S, Apr 2026

Dramatic beauty and picturesque coastal views that are simply breathtaking

We enjoyed an exceptional and picturesque tour of Santorini, and our driver and guide Angelo significantly enhanced our experience by collecting us from the airport. The tour comprehensively covered the entirety of the island, with Angelo leading us to all prominent attractions and optimal photography locations. This included a guided walking tour of Oia, which is accessible on foot or by donkey, and he introduced us to an excellent gelato establishment. Angelo provided clear explanations throughout the journey, and the walking tour at the Akrotiri Archaeological Site was particularly noteworthy. The tour was characterized by numerous highlights, all experienced without undue haste, and concluded with a mid-afternoon meal at the stunning Perivolos Beach, at Angelo's recommended restaurant, Forty one 41, situated on the beach's edge. While the tour's quality is contingent upon individual participation, a skilled & engaging tour guide such as Angelo undoubtedly renders it unforgettable, and we extend our gratitude to him for creating lifelong memories.

Trip Highlight

Amazing experience! We got to see so many things we wouldn’t have seen without this tour. My husband and I decided to do two separate ATVs because we both wanted drive and it was great. It was our first time riding an ATV and we felt super safe, the guides stopped to help start and stop your vehicle at every check point. There was a perfect amount of riding and walking, we had the best time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Small Group Sightseeing Tour: All Santorini’s Treasures

Linda_M, Jan 2026

Best Tour Ever!

Sometimes in your travels you meet the perfect person, on the perfect day, in the perfect place, …. and that is what happened on our tour of the island of Santorini Greece! Our tour guide, Christos, was beyond wonderful. He shared the history of the island as we drove to incredibly picturesque photo stops. He drove to places we never could have seen or known about without him. One of our favorites was the Church of Prophet Elias built in 1750 on the top of a high mountain. We even met the man who is the caretaker and helped rebuild the church after it was destroyed in the 1956 earthquake. He drove us through adorable villages and to the top of the highest point in Santorini. He took us to the black sand beach and found the best seafood restaurant called Perivolos Fish Tavern. We all had fresh fish that had just been caught from the sea! It was excellent! He shared so much interesting information with us and listened to all our many stories, too! On our way back to our place in Oia he even agreed to stop at a market so we could pick up a few groceries!! Chris is not only an absolutely magnificent tour guide but a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful man! Best Tour Ever!!!❤️

So happy we chose this tour!

This tour is a great way to see Santorini’s highlights without the long wait for the tram from the port. When we visited, the mule/walking path was closed due to repairs, so we were happy with our choice of excursion. Our guide, Zeus, was excellent. His knowledge of Santorini was exceptional and his enthusiasm was contagious. We had so much fun exploring the towns, although we could have spent an entire week without seeing it all.

Exclusive Cooking Experience in our Cave Home by Petra Kouzina

A highlight of our trip!!

My husband and I booked this cooking experience while in Santorini on our honeymoon. We highly anticipated the experience and it was everything we had hoped and more! The class was led by a knowledgeable, funny chef and his lovely wife. They welcomed us into their home and we learned recipes and techniques that we are brining back into our home! It was a highlight of our trip!!

Jennifer_B, Oct 2025

The best decision ever!

We booked a 6 hour private tour and could not have been happier! George ( our driver) was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, friendly and very informative. The Mercedes van was fantastic! He went out of his way to make sure we saw all the things Santorini has to offer - from popular tourist attractions to hidden gems. He gave us tips and suggestions as we explored Santorini. We appreciated how helpful he was and we really enjoyed getting to know him! We could have easily spent several more hours with him. It was definitely the highlight of our 12 day adventure around Italy and Greece. Seriously-we rave about that trip and George every chance we get! Don’t hesitate to book this excursion- the entire process was smooth and communication was wonderful!

Santorini Highlights Small-Group Tour with Wine Tasting option

Matthew_F, Oct 2025

I’ll Miss You!

We loved this stop! Penny was our tour guide and she was adorable! George was our driver and we loved him, too. It was a sunny day, but super windy (25-30min) and about 67 degrees (Fahrenheit). We all had light sweaters/jackets and it was perfect. Some even wore shorts and were fine. My advice, take all the photos and consider turning them into puzzles or canvas or wall art because WOW! We didn’t get to ride the donkeys since there was a recent landslide, but the cable car experience was quick and easy. We did the half day tour and added an extra winery to our stops. We are wine lovers, so this was perfect for us! We did prefer the first winery, though. It was called Artemis Karamolegos. We ate lunch and did a tasting. We also got to see the production and barrel rooms. The food was amazing and the wine was delicious. We bought 2 additional bottles and they said they distribute to the states. Something to know before you book, if you do the winery, the lunch is paid on your own there and the tasting is paid the day before to the travel company. They will send you a link to prepay. The tasting was €20pp. For lunch, we all shared a bunch of things and it was somewhere around €25pp. There were 11 of us. Overall, I recommend this tour! Penny and George made the experience so fun and Penny is even a certified sommelier, which was perfect for our wine loving group. We learned quite a few Greek words and a few “bad” ones too! Our transportation was comfortable and roomy. We will definitely return to Santorini!

Private Shore Excursion: Best of Santorini Customized Tour

Casey_C, Oct 2025

My husband and I did a...

My husband and I did a full day private tour, around 6-7 hours, and thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end! Theodore was our tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun. He drove us all over the island and gave us a lot of information I don’t think many tourists get when visiting Santorini. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant, a little off the beaten path, but on the beach, for a DELICIOUS meal and some great local white wine. Overall wonderful tour! We loved Santorini and will definitely be back again. Thank you, Theo!
