Top Santorini Half-day Tours

Christos was very helpful and accommodating. He made my travel to Santorini worth it. I am glad that I booked this tour and more glad that Christos was assigned to me. He brought me to different places that I would have not be able to go if I just rely on Google and maps. He was also very kind enough to take photos of me, although he don't need to. He took me lots of good shots. It was the best decision to book the tour. He was also providing me background and history on the places we go which made it more memorable. I would definitely recommend VIP transfers and tours. Katerina was also very nice and messaged me before the scheduled trip.

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.

We had the pleasure of sightseeing with iGoHellas Tours on the island of Santorini. Our tour guides Gina and Yannis were amazing! We took the 3 hour highlight tour and it did not disappoint. Our guides were so knowledgeable and brought us to the best locations. It is a memory we will always remember. Thank you Gina and Yannis our group loved you!

This cooking class was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini! It felt incredibly authentic—fast-paced, engaging, and filled with a true sense of Greek family warmth. The setting inside a traditional cave home was pristine and beautiful, with an upscale yet cozy atmosphere that felt worlds away from the tourist crowds. We loved that we got to prepare and eat the very dishes we touched and cooked ourselves—everything was delicious, and there was plenty of wine flowing throughout! The hosts shared their beautiful family story, making the experience feel personal and meaningful. It was also very educational—full of practical tips and recipes we can now bring home to extend the charm of our Greek adventure through its cuisine. A high-end, off-the-beaten-path experience that we’d absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Santorini!

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!

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!

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!

George was a great host of Santorini. Highly recommend, can't get this level service with a cruise ship buses. Hit the attractions in great comfort and avoided the big crowds. We've been on a lot of cruises, and this excursion was one of the best, well organized and extremely informative.
