Top Santorini Day Trips

Fantastic trip with excellent guide, Victor. We learned a tremendous amount about Santorini from our guide. The ferry ride was simple and easy to find from the main port. I’m not sure it saved us a lot of time over the cable car as it wasn’t super crowded but regardless I enjoyed the tour and our guide made sure we got incredible photos.

Our driver Lee was very flexible. I wanted to visit the Red Beach, Vlycada Beach and Pervilos Beach. He also took us in areas we had not planned and they were nice. He recommended a place to eat on the beach that was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I was physically challenged on some of the visits and he was ver accommodating. This tour was great if you wanted to customize where you were going and not follow a standard tour guideline.

Very good pickup at the tender port, boat to different dock where we were met by mini-buses (12 guests per) and our guide Alex who gave excellent commentary about Santorini. A little history, a little about economics, culture, science, and the magnificent views.....He made sure we had health breaks and opportunity for snacks/food and some shopping. The driver did a super job on the twisty, narrow, crowded roads and returned us to the dock where we again boarded a boat to the tender port. This was an excellent tour for an overview of Santorini and avoiding the gondolo/cable car. Alex was attentive and knowledgeable and personable.

Excellent experience from start to finish. We appreciated the flexibility for the start time as the tender and cable car availability is an unknown. Our guide George was professional and kind. He was extremely accommodating for my husband who had some mobility issues. We got to see almost the entire island and learned much about the culture and customs. Would highly recommend this tour and request George.

If you want to learn about the history of Santorini and go to traditional villages and other places around Santorini do this tour. Our tour guide, Gregory was so knowledgeable and he knew his history of Santorini. We learned so much. We loved going to the traditional villages, the black sand beach, Oia and so many other places. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It was a full day but so worthwhile! I loved this tour.

Gregory's knowledge, kindness, and humor were absolutely perfect. He tailored his narration and descriptions to our small group's interests and questions. I would give this long (10hrs) trip 10 stars if I could. It was the perfect in-depth overview of the whole island

Our tour guide was great and provided so many interesting facts, many which we shared with other people after the tour! The hostess recommended a place for lunch and we 100% appreciated the local suggestion. The only thing that slightly bothered us was that the hotel guests received priority pickup & drop off. This also caused our tour to end at least a half hour early because they needed to catch a flight... While those of us from a cruise had plenty of time. They also had us meet by the cable car, but this isn't where the tour ended. We wish they just had us meet at the office building where they took us to; we would have explored the city a little more before the tour starting (we had to wait an hour so grabbed coffee and watched the mules at the coffee shop across from cable car-- also a nice experience)

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!
