What are people saying about Santorini

Amy_T, Oct 2026

Great way to see the highlights

We booked this tour because we only had one day on a cruise in Santorini. The whole experience was seamless and exactly what we were looking for. Even though the crowds were insane we got a glimpse of the most popular areas and also were able to get acquainted with some of the small, local villages. Our guide was amazing and very helpful.

Santorini Shore Excursion: Private Tour with Port Pickup Options

Neda_B, Oct 2026

Santorini private day perfection

We came off a cruise ship, and booking a Private tour was the way to go! It was cheaper than the cruise ship tours. We also had a water taxi arranged via the tour company, so we had no lines, they grabbed us right off the tender, and put us on a boat. The views were gorgeous on the water taxi. Our driver came immediately and took us to many towns avoiding crowds and the larger tours. He was an excellent photographer and took many awesome photos of us at all sites. Nikos was full of island history and we enjoyed his company. We saw so much in the time we were together, and he brought us to an excellent lunch place in Oia to end our day. We really enjoyed our tour, worth every penny, and we saved a lot of pennies by not booking through the cruise! And personally, I prefer being in a comfortable sprinter van for the 4 of us, rather than a large bus on those small cliff roads.

Exclusive Santorini Flying Dress Photoshoot with Pickup

Sherri_D, Oct 2026

What a dream!

Visiting Santorini? You must do the flying dress experience, and this company is the best. From the pick up from my hotel to help with the color selection of the dress, these folks did everything to make this experience special. I was blessed to work with Elvis and Renata. They're the dream team. They told me how to pose, made sure I stayed as warm as possible on a very chilly October day and helped my husband have fun with the experience as well. Before I saw a single photo, I knew I would love them. I felt beautiful, and that was in no small part due to Elvis and Renata. I also really liked that I was not crowded by lots others who were seeking just the right spots. These folks take you away from the crowd. They even made a little video for me just for the 'haters.' Super fun experience. Book it.

Santorini road tour with our terrific guide, George

We shared a half-day private road trip of Santorini with the charming and knowledgable local, George. By the end of it we were wanting him to come visit us in Oakland, California! In other words, he was great and we would recommend seeing his version of this beautiful island.

Santorini Wine Adventure with 12 Wine Tastings, Tapas and Sunset

Santorini Wine Tour

Our guide Maria was outstanding! She was both knowledgeable and entertaining. She had a great sense of humor and was playful with the guests. She made sure everyone was included with any dietary needs or food aversions. All the food parings were spot on even some more unusual combinations. Her welcoming attitude was contagious. The group mingled well with her encouragement. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in the unique microclimate on Santorini where the grapes are grown.

Santorini Flying Dress Experience with Hotel Pick up And Drop Off

Jaquita_W, Oct 2026

We felt like queens

What a wonderful experience! We were on a cruise, and our arrival to Santorini changed twice. The staff was very flexible, and had no problems adjusting days/times. Once we arrived, everyone was so accommodating and attentive to our needs. There were dressing rooms, and someone to fit the dress for you. Elvis and Renata were phenomenal! They worked so well together, and with us. I would recommend this experience 100%.

Santorini Private Customizable Land Tour with Local Driver

Jone_W, Oct 2026

Out and About in Santorini.

Today we had a 6- hour tour of Santorini. I here were 6 of us with our guide, Tosos. He was fantastic and took us all over the island. We drive through the capital Fira and saw the path up the hill the cruise ship visitors take (along with the cable car option), went to the small town of magalochori and saw one of the old cave houses, had lunch at a great restaurant on the beach and walked on the black sand beach. We also went to Imerovigli, the highest central part of the Caldera and toured the Akrotiri archeological site covered by ash from the volcanic eruption in 1615 BC.. lastly we ended up at the monastery at the top of the hill that gave us great views of where we had been. It was a fabulous day and our guide was really lovely!

Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver

Yannis was great!

Be sure to have the What’s App application installed and working as soon as you book this tour. The tour operator will use it to communicate with you before and during the tour. Yannis did a great job zipping us all over Santorini with lots of history and photo opps included. He would drop us off at various sights, then give us a time and location to return to the well equipped Mercedes van. When we desired more time, we used the app to let him know we would meet back up later. In the afternoon he took us to a seaside restaurant on Black Beach that had authentic Greek specialties. The food was good and very reasonably priced with entrees in the €15 - €22 range. Then it was back to Fira to a 100 year old Baclava pastry shop for the best ever. A very enjoyable 6 hours.

Santorini Classic Catamaran Cruise with BBQ, Drinks and Transfers

Michael_M, Oct 2026

Santorini by water

Wonderful experience. The tour was everything we expected and then more. Great group of people and great swimming and snorkeling. The only issue was the pick up at the hotel that arrived earlier than we expected (as we never received a pick up email with a time) so very stressful start but once we set foot on the boat we relaxed the day away

Amazing day with great food

What a fantastic day from start to finish! The pick-up from Oia was seamless, with just a short 25-minute journey straight from our hotel to the port. The crew were lovely — friendly, warm and clearly very experienced. The food was delicious, and the whole experience was so relaxing. We met some lovely people from the US and Australia, and swimming in the sea was just perfect. A truly wonderful day and an experience we would highly recommend!
