Designed for cruise passengers who want to see Santorini without wasting time in port, this shore excursion comes in three ways. The 5-Hour Shore Excursion visits the Three Bells of Fira, Firostefani's Blue Dome Church, Oia's blue-domed streets, Prophet Elias Monastery, and a swim stop at Kamari's black sand beach. The 3-Hour Express covers the Three Bells, Firostefani, and free time in Oia. Water Taxi + Shore Excursion skips the cable car queue: we collect you by water taxi at the Old Port and drive the same 5-hour route from Athinios, returning the standard way with time to spare before your ship sails. Cruise passengers: your tender brings you to the Old Port; our guide meets you at the top of the Fira cable car for the standard options, or you're collected by water taxi. We'll message you on WhatsApp beforehand. Staying on the island instead? The same tour works well for you too — choose your pickup point at checkout.

What are people saying about Santorini

Heidi_R, Aug 2026

The most awesome excursion ever!!

So worth every penny!! Katerina was so informative and helpful. Took pictures for us and knew exactly where the best photo spots were. Made sure the whole group had time to take them. Just loved this so much and skipping the cable car made it worth even more! Since there was a landslide everyone had to take it except us.

Small-Group Skip Cable Car Santorini Tour for First-Time Cruisers

Angela_O, Jul 2026

This tour delivered a great day in Santorini

I booked this tour to skip the cable car line. It was a good call. . If you’ve never been to Santorini before it’s a tender port and once you get off tender must take cable car or donkey up to city. Our guide Elyssa was fantastic We enjoyed all the stops The ferry boat and mini bus were comfortable Our second and best visit to this beautiful place. 10:/10 recommend!

Skip Sky Tram !!! ZERO-STRESS CRUISE-FRIENDLY 5 Hour Tour

Robin_H, Jul 2026

Cruisers! You Want to Book this Excursion!

Avoid the cable car madness and book this tour while in Santorini! During our cruise there was a 4 hour queue to ride down to get to the pier to tender to the ship at the end of the day! Booking this tour ahead of time helped us avoid that whole debacle! Our tour guide Alex was so wonderful and helped make our time in Santorini special with his commentary about the history and ways of life on the island! He took us to all the places on our itinerary and made sure we got some great photos! The lunch spot he took us to called The 41 was delish, get the Rose on your Nose cocktail! Thanks Alex for the best time in Santorini!

Exclusive Santorini Flying Dress Photoshoot with Pickup

Katie_W, Jul 2026

Amazing fun experience in Santorini

My mom and I had an amazing experience doing our flying dress photoshoot. Our photographer was highly professional, funny, and very kind. He went out of his way to make sure that we felt comfortable throughout the process. His assistant was equally wonderful. She styled our dresses to make us feel beautiful and helped us throughout the shoot to make sure we looked our best. The boutique had lots of colors and styles to choose from and our pickup and drop off process was easy. I highly recommend doing this with friends or family for an unforgettable experience and priceless photos!

Olivia_L, Jul 2026

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!

Best Of Santorini Private Tailor Made Tour

terry_b, Jul 2026

Santorini at is finest!

Dimitris was absolutely the best! This was our first time in Santorini and he made it unforgettable. He helped us experience the culture, the food, the sights, and everything else in between. We were not treated like customers or clients, instead we were treated like family for our entire time with him. I would recommend this 100%.

Santorini Shore Excursion: Skip Sky Tram & Port Pickup

Christine_D, Jun 2026

Wonderful tour to see everything Santorini has to offer!

This tour was fabulous! Katarina knew the very best spots to take amazing pictures and great information about all the sights. We felt like we were able to see so much of the island in a short time without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. The only thing that wasn’t clear was that you do have time to actually go in the water at the beach stop, but we just ate great food and drank local wine while others went in the water. If you are on a short amount of time due to your cruise schedule, I highly recommend this tour to see nearly everything! And if Katarina is your guide you will love it even more!

RKSORCI, Jun 2026

Highly recommend

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!

Skip Cable Car® Santorini Shore Excursion for First-Time Visitors

Robert_M, Oct 2025

Great tour from the tender port

Our ship arrived and we took the tender 10 minutes to shore to the little port. Was easy to find our guide. Be sure to arrive on time as a boat picks the guests up and takes us to another port. The beauty of this excursion is that you do not need to take the cable car. The line for the cable car was insane. AND we only had two cruise ships in port that day. Heard the day before was 6 ships! The boat ride to the other port is only 10 minutes. Then get on a shuttle bus with 16 people. The guide was very knowledgable. Stopped along the way for amazing photo opps. Then went to Oia, the most amazing of all Greek towns on the hillside with the most wonderful panoramic views. This is where all the buildings are white and the church domes are blue. When you think of Greece, you think of Oia. Once in the town square, we were given free time to walk around, take photos, grab a baklava. This too is a very crowded area. Then back on the shuttle and drove to a traditional Greek village with a guided walking tour. Then back on the shuttle to go to the black beach. This is where we had free time for lunch. There are several wonderful restaurants ON the beach to choose from. Back on the shuttle to go to the port to get on the boat to go to the other port and then to the tender to get back on the ship. Wonderful day. Great guide!
