Santorini with private guide

We had a great experience with our tour guide Mary. She was willing to go at our pace as my mother is 81. She was willing to do things that we wanted to do and showed us many many things. She knows all the best areas for photos. She took many photos of the three of us in our party. We had a wonderful time seeing Santorini.

Fantastic Private Tour with Yannis!

Our experience for our 3 hour private tour with Yannis was fantastic, and we highly recommend this tour! Yannis took us all around the island to many major locations within a short period of time. He shares tons of info and history about the island, and it was a great way to start our trip to get a good understanding of the island! Yannis was kind and helpful, and he provided lots of recommendations and tips to navigate the island even after our tour. We highly recommend this tour!

Perfect Santorini Photos with private tour

We hired Fon for an Instagram photo private driver tour around Santorini and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the island — full of local stories, history, and insider tips. He grew up on the island! He took us to the famous blue domes for that classic Santorini photo, and even took the photos for us so we could both be in the shot together, which was such a thoughtful touch. He made sure we hit the best viewpoints and spots at just the right times to avoid the cruise ship tour buses and the whole day felt relaxed and personal rather than rushed like a typical group tour. The Mercedes min van was cool with WiFi and AC. Fon had ice cold water for us as it was hot mid afternoon. If you’re visiting Santorini and want a driver who really knows the island and makes the day feel special, ask for Fon. Highly recommend!

Fantastic day with Luigi

We were taken around the island of Santorini by a wonderful guide named Luigi. He was absolutely terrific He took us to all the hot spots on the island as well as some places we would never have thought of. He was friendly and accommodating. Santorini is a beautiful island but can be very crowded. Having a local like Luigi was so beneficial to us. We very much appreciated his helping us to get the most from our tour. Thank you Luigi!!!

This was a great tour. If...

This was a great tour. If you want to see all the highlights of Santorini this is a great way to do it without taking the bus, cab or renting a car. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which is so convenient. Mario was our tour guide and he was wonderful. We told him exactly what we wanted to do and see and he planned and timed the day perfectly. We were even able to make a stop at a winery for a wine tasting (Santo Winery which is gorgeous). He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and knew how to bypass the crowds. The only thing I would do differently would be to have chosen a longer tour. I think 6-7 hours would have been better. I would definitely recommend this tour and if you can ask for Mario to be your guide.

Amazing Private Tour of Santorini

We had such an amazing experience touring Santorini! One of the best parts was how private and personalized the entire tour felt. We were able to explore so much of the island in one day without ever feeling rushed or like we were part of a large, crowded tour group. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Santorini and knew exactly where to take us. He showed us some of the best spots around the island, including beautiful viewpoints and places we may never have discovered on our own. It felt like we were truly getting to experience the entire island rather than just visiting the typical tourist stops. We especially appreciated being able to relax and enjoy the day while he handled everything and shared his knowledge of the island along the way. The privacy of the tour made the experience feel even more special and allowed us to enjoy Santorini at our own pace. Such a wonderful way to see this beautiful island, and easily one of the highlights of our trip to Greece. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini who wants a more personal and memorable experience!

The best way to see Santorini!

What a phenomenal way to see Santorini!! Our driver/tour guide, Theo, treated us like royalty. Cold waters, perfect driving and quick access to all of the best spots for remarkable photos. He never rushed us and gave us all the historical significance of the sights throughout the island. We will recommend this tour to anyone coming to Santorini.

Cruise day trip with Nicholas!

We did 7 excursions while on a cruise with Norwegian Pearl in late July 26. This was by far the best one. We booked the Santorini day trip as a private tour and had no idea what to expect. It was a great day. Nicholas was the best. Can’t say enough about how knowledgeable he was and friendly. He catered to our requests and made sure everyone was included. My best advice- book with Nicholas! We all got a big Greek hug when the day ended I think I even got two.

Great experience , ...

Great experience , incredible views. The food is fantastic, the hospitality is 2nd to none. We travel many places and this place will not disappoint. Lots of shopping, not too pricey. The wine is also something to try. Refreshing whites and pairs well with the food. Our driver was very informative,so we also got a history lesson during the day as well.

Santorini Beyond the Postcard

We had an amazing guided tour of Santorini with Sara and Stelios. The experience was very personal, thoughtful, and rich in details. It was much more than just seeing the famous views. For anyone who wants to understand Santorini beyond the obvious postcard image, this tour offers a deeper look into the island’s culture, history, landscape, and everyday life. Sara and Stelios shared stories and insights that made the experience feel authentic and meaningful. It was a beautiful way to connect not only with the place, but also with the people and the soul of Santorini.

Amazing Santorini Experience!

We had an absolutely fantastic private tour of Santorini and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our tour guide was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the island’s culture, history, and traditions. They took the time to explain not only the famous sights, but also the stories and local way of life that make Santorini so special. We visited beautiful viewpoints, charming villages, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. The tour felt personal, relaxed, and tailored to our interests, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos. If you’re visiting Santorini and want to truly understand the island beyond the postcard views, this private tour is absolutely worth it. It was one of the highlights of our trip and left us with a much deeper appreciation for Santorini. Highly recommended!
