The Ultimate Custom Highlights Tour of Santorini

If you want a truly personalized and stress-free way to experience the magic of Santorini, booking a highlights tour with Kostas is an absolute must. From the very start, Kostas tailored the entire day entirely to us. Instead of a rigid schedule, he gave us the freedom to build our own itinerary based on our specific interests, energy levels, and what we had already explored on the island. His local expertise is unmatched, particularly when it comes to beating the crowds. While Oia was beginning to swell with morning tourists, Kostas expertly navigated us to breathtaking viewpoints without ever having to wait in the exhausting, infamous lines for that classic Instagram photo. He is also a master of efficiency. To maximize our sightseeing time, Kostas gave us all the historical context, introductions, and background information while we were comfortably in the car. That way, the moment we stepped out, we could dive straight into exploring and covering as much ground as we desired. Engaging, deeply knowledgeable, and wonderfully personable, Kostas was the perfect guide to introduce us to the soul of Santorini. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Our tour was fantastic...

Our tour was fantastic based on the knowledge and passion of our tour guide George. George has been coming to Santorini well before the island became a tourist destination. He personalized our tour based on our interests and presented us with amazing views, interesting history, and ended with with a stunning wine visit, where we enjoyed great wine, delicious small bites, along with a stunning view. By the end of the tour George felt like a close friend to us. Please ask for George and you will have a special experience.

Wonderful day exploring Santorini with Thanos!

Our group of five had a fantastic time on this private 5-hour tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Thanos. He picked us up right on time from our hotel in Fira and made us feel welcome from the very first minute. Thanos was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his island. His commentary along the way was interesting and full of local insight, and he was happy to answer all our questions. Because the tour is tailor-made, he was flexible with our plans and suggested great spots we wouldn't have found on our own, while making sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop and take photos. The air-conditioned van was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for our group, and the bottled water and WiFi on board were nice touches. If you want to see the best of Santorini at your own pace with a guide who genuinely cares about giving you a great experience, I highly recommend this tour, and especially Thanos. Thank you for a memorable day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sights of Santorini

Paulina was a wonderful guide. We were running a bit late due to taking the tender and the cable car, yet she was able to get us to all the sights with plenty of time for photos, shopping and ice cream! She navigated the roads and traffic beautifully! Highly recommend this tour with Paulina! She is very knowledgeable!

Spectacular Santorini Tour with Theo!

Theo showed us around Santorini for the day on our honeymoon and it was truly a phenomenal experience. He is so knowledgeable and efficient, he got us all around the island in the 4 hours we had booked with him! He brought us to incredible picture-worthy spots. He was so attentive and kind, gave us great recommendations and is truly a fantastic guide. I highly recommend booking a tour with Theo to get the ultimate Santorini experience especially if you’re only there for a day!!!!

The Private Tour of Santorini is amazing! You will see so much & get a great feel for beautiful Santorini!

We had a terrific private island tour of Santorini today with Lisandros! He was an amazing guide & the van was really nice! We had been to Santorini before so we told him a couple places to see & let him choose favorite places to take us - they were perfect!! We loved everything we saw of this beautiful island. He even made a lunch suggestion & reservation at a restaurant near the tram called Rastoni. It was delicious! We went to several cities, including small local villages also. It was nice to see where locals live. Thank you for an A+ 5 star day!!

Great way to see the Island!

This was a great way to see most of the island and the major photo-op locations. We started the tour with Elpida and then Duke took over after the 2nd stop. Both were engaging and very knowledgeable of the island and Greece’s history. They were also focused on making sure we were happy with the itinerary, answering questions, and maintaining a good dialogue throughout the tour. They did a great job of planning the stops and routes to avoid peak crowds.

OMG! If you are looking for a truly memorable and luxurious experience, look no further! From the pick up to drop off, these folks made us feel like celebrities. The boat was epic, the food was world class, but the best part was the staff, they are world class, these guys really know how to do it right!

The BEST tour of Santorini!

This was a 5 hour tour of Santorini with ability to customize the experience. OUTSTANDING tour! Dimitris was our guide and EXCELLENT. Truly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, engaging. Very safe driver. We enjoyed him immensely! Our chosen itinerary was a visit to Fira (we were staying in Oia, pickup there included with drop off later, seamless!), Church of the Three Bells, on to Akrotiri archeological site- well worth the €20 ticket). We spent a hour there. Then on to black sand beach, the Monastery of the Prophet Elias (highest point on Santorini, beautiful), finished with glass of one at Santo Winery with a little charcuterie. We could not have enjoyed this tour more. Dimitris knows this island well and has any variety of sights and places to customize your tour anyway you wish. We loved that. It has high marks on Viator by reviewers and no wonder why now. We are from USA and Dimitris spoke English fluently and clearly. I think we can be tough critics most of the time in these types of tours, but this hit all the marks. Hope you enjoy it too!

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.
