Pickup details
Important Cruise Info Meeting Point: For cruise passengers, the default pickup is the Old Port — where your ship's tender drops you off. A crew member meets you onshore with a sign showing your name, so there's no navigating the cable car alone or hunting for your driver. Getting Up to Fira: The Old Port has no road access, so you reach Fira by water taxi or cable car. We can arrange a private water transfer for an additional €40 — fast, scenic, and no queue. Prefer not to? Take the cable car for €10 per person. Either way, we coordinate the timing around your tour (the shared water taxi runs about once an hour). Running Late? No stress — message us and we'll adjust your pickup. We stay in contact throughout your visit. First Time in Santorini? We've guided thousands of cruise passengers smoothly from ship to sightseeing. Just ask — we're here to help.

If we could give George our tour guide for the day a 100 instead of a five-star we give it to him! When we saw my name in his hands we were thrilled! We told everybody he was ours! Not only did he show us the sites around the island but he was our personal photographer and made us all feel beautiful. We had a wonderful lunch with him on the black sand at the 41 restaurant. Lunch was delicious.
Response from Host, Nov 2026
A hundred stars—what an amazing compliment! Thank you for bringing such warmth to your review. George will be thrilled to know he made everyone feel so welcome and cared for. It’s the laughter, easy conversation, and shared moments that make a day especially memorable, and we’re so happy your group left with those memories.
We’d love to have you join us again for another beautiful day in Santorini!
With appreciation,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
Our guide was exceptionally well informed. He educated us on so much of Santorini’s history as well as the Greek life and culture. We drove all over the island , stopping for closer inspections and getting beautiful pictures with amazing vistas. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for this wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted that the tour offered such a rich glimpse into Santorini’s history, culture, and scenery.

Bill was fantastic. He was warm, accommodating, and knowledgeable. This was my second trip to Santorini, and Bill made this excursion so much more enjoyable than the first one.
Response from Host, Oct 2026

This is the best bang for the buck. I think that the trip is timed well and was offered to go anywhere we wanted to see on the Island
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for this fantastic feedback! We’re so pleased the tour offered the flexibility and time to enjoy the parts of Santorini that mattered most to you. Our team works hard to make each private excursion feel personal and worthwhile, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
With thanks,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
There were some things I had asked to visit that were missed entirely, and apparently we ran out of time. I don't feel that I received the tour I thought I was booking. Perhaps I should have been more adamant about seeing those things.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that your day did not include everything you had hoped to see.
After reviewing the itinerary with your driver-guide, we understand that your tour included Oia, Imerovigli, the Three Bells, and Megalochori. Some requested stops, including a visit through Pyrgos village, involved steps and uneven cobblestone paths, so the route was adapted with your comfort and mobility needs in mind.
We always aim to balance guests’ preferences with a comfortable pace. Your five-hour tour was extended by approximately 20 minutes to allow more time without rushing, although we appreciate that the places you missed were important to you. We regret that the adjustments and their effect on the itinerary were not made clearer during the day.
Our team’s intention was to provide an enjoyable, thoughtfully paced visit, and we’re sorry the experience fell short of your expectations.
Kind regards,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
This was the perfect way to see Santorini on our stop. 6 of us traveling together and Paulina was the best tour guide, the vehicle was clean, new, and comfortable. Communication about where to be and when to be there was excellent and our tour guides knowledge about how to get to the popular attractions was outstanding.
Book this tour if you have a day to spend in Santorini!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
A recommendation like this means a lot—thank you! We know cruise visits give you a limited time on the island, so our team takes care with the planning and details that help make the day count. Paulina will be thrilled to know she made such a positive impression on your group. We’d love to welcome you back to Santorini, or help friends you recommend plan a memorable visit.
With appreciation,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
Santorini is a must-see! 😍 The views are absolutely gorgeous everywhere you go. Our tour guide, Mary, was amazing! She drove us around the beautiful island, showed us the best spots, and even took stunning photos of us with the breathtaking scenery. She made our Santorini experience extra special. Highly recommend visiting this beautiful island! 🇬🇷❤️
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for sharing such a generous review! Mary will be touched to know that the thoughtful moments she added to your day stayed with you. We’re proud of the care she brings to our shore excursions, and grateful you trusted our team with your time on the island. We hope you return someday, and would be glad to help friends you recommend enjoy their visit as well.
With thanks,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
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.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
This is such a wonderful review to receive! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We put a great deal of care into coordinating cruise-port arrivals and shaping private tours around each group, so it’s especially rewarding to know the day felt so worthwhile. Nikos will be thrilled to read your generous words; his knowledge and personal attention are a real asset to our team. We’d be very happy to welcome you back to Santorini, or to look after friends you send our way.
With appreciation,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
Seamless booking and transportation arrangement! The agent worked with us in booking water taxi and gave useful suggestions to get on and off our cruise. George, our guide, went over and beyond and made our experience wonderful! We appreciated his knowledge of Santorini!
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for this fantastic feedback—it will mean a lot to everyone involved. We’re pleased our team could help you feel prepared for your cruise-day arrangements, and George will be especially happy to hear how much you valued his care and knowledge. We’ll make sure your kind message reaches him. If Santorini brings you back, we’d love to help you make another special day of it—or welcome friends you send our way.
With warm thanks,
The VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini Team
Great Tour. Our tour guide Paulina was very knowledgeable about the town history and popular picture landmarks. She did a great job at coordinating a seamless arrival for us from the cruise ship port and back. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2026

Our tour guide Dimitri was wonderful.
A very good guide, very informative and took us to all the good photo spots.
He took us to a lovely restaurant right on the beach so we could have a swim while we waited for our lunch to be prepared.
I would definitely recommend this tour and if you get Dimitri as your guide it will be a wonderful bonus.
Thankyou Dimitri from the 6 Australians 🥰🥰
Response from Host, Oct 2026
What a wonderful message from your group—thank you for sharing it! Dimitri will be so pleased to know he helped make your day in Santorini memorable. His thoughtful approach is a lovely reflection of the care our team puts into each private shore excursion, and we’ll be sure to pass your thanks along to him. We’d be delighted to welcome you back someday, or help friends of yours enjoy their own Santorini visit.
Warm wishes,

Our private half day tour guide, Mary, was magnificent! She was so knowledgeable, considerate, energetic and informative. She really wanted to make sure we got the tour we had envisioned. We went at our pace and saw things we wouldn’t have had we been alone or with a large group.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you for choosing VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini for your visit. We’re delighted our team could help make your time on the island feel special and well suited to you.

To see the island in a relatively short period of time, it is very helpful to have a driver and guide. Our main goals were to see Oia and the ancient city of Akrotiri, which are on opposite sides of the island. The tour was customizable to our wishes since it was a private tour. Our guide was a great driver and very friendly but did not provide a ton of historical information. I would have liked more information as we were driving the island. We booked a water taxi to/from the Fira cruise tender port. This saved a LOT of time by not lining up for the cable car. However, the water taxi driver made a mistake and took our party along with another party of 8, who had actually booked a different taxi. We had to stand the whole time and couldn't see anything. For 120 Euros to go 20 minutes, that's an expensive mistake on their part and no follow up was given, not even an apology.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re genuinely happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Santorini, especially Oia and the fascinating archaeological site of Akrotiri.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the historical information provided during your tour, and we would like to clarify something that may be helpful to future travellers.
**Our private sightseeing tours are conducted by experienced local drivers who share their personal knowledge, stories, and genuine love for Santorini.** The experience is designed to offer a comfortable, flexible, and personal introduction to our island rather than an in-depth historical or archaeological presentation. For guests who are particularly interested in a more detailed exploration of Santorini's history and archaeology, additional arrangements can be made upon request. We would have been happy to discuss these options with you had we known this was one of your main interests.
Regarding the water taxi, we are sorry to hear that this part of your visit did not meet your expectations, and we would like to clarify a few details for you and for future travellers.
**The water taxi is an optional, shared transportation service operated by independent third-party boat companies.** It is not included in our private sightseeing tour and is offered separately for guests who prefer to avoid the cable car queues at the Old Port.
Depending on the number of passengers and operational arrangements on the day, the boats used by our partners can accommodate approximately **12 to 50 passengers**. The service is therefore not a private boat transfer for the 3 of you, and it has never been presented or sold as one.
We recommend this option purely as a **convenient way to reach your private tour without spending valuable holiday time waiting in the cable car lines in some cases for hours**. It is intended as transportation rather than a sightseeing cruise or an additional part of the guided tour experience.
Regardless of the service being shared and operated by a third party, we are sorry that your journey was not as comfortable as you had hoped. Your feedback is important, and we will certainly share it with our water taxi partners.
Above all, we are pleased that you were able to make the most of your time in Santorini and visit the places you had been looking forward to seeing.
Thank you again for choosing **VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini** We truly appreciate it and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our beautiful island someday.

Mary was amazing! We had some time conflicts with the tender boats and they were very accommodating. Great way to get a lot out of a day on the island.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We’re so happy to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring Santorini with Mary! She is such a caring and dedicated member of our team, and we know how much she enjoys making every guest feel welcome and comfortable.
We also understand that arriving by cruise ship can sometimes be unpredictable, especially with tender boat schedules. That’s why our entire team always tries to be as flexible and accommodating as possible, so our guests can relax and make the most of their time on the island.
It means a lot to us that, despite the timing challenges, you were still able to enjoy such a memorable day!
Thank you again for trusting **VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini** with your visit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back someday!

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!
Response from Host, Oct 2026

Jiannis was a wonderful tour guide and we highly recommend this for your trip to Santorini! He was so kind and helpful as we had one family member with limited mobility. He showed us all the beauty and history of the island and we had an amazing lunch. Definitely don't forget the black beach ;)

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring Santorini with us.

**VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini**
Our driver and guide was Nikos. He was very nice and showed us all around Santorini while allowing us to customize the itinerary.
His knowledge of the city and how to get around the crowds was incredible and saved us a lot of time. He took photos of us from various angles at each location and because of his access, we never had to stand in lines. Other people from our cruise had to wait in lines 1hr+ for some photo spots.
We saw all the highlights, and ended with an amazing dinner at a beach club on the black beach.
My only gripes were that he was hard to understand sometimes, and they picked us up a little bit late. However they did add the time on at the end and communicated throughout the process.
Overall a great experience and I’m so glad we did the private option.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re very happy to hear that choosing the **private tour** allowed you to experience so much of Santorini while still having the freedom to customize the day around what you wanted to see.
We’re delighted that **Nikos’ local knowledge** helped you navigate the crowds, avoid long waits and discover the best locations and photo spots. Finishing the experience with dinner by the Black Beach sounds like a wonderful way to end the day!
We also genuinely appreciate your constructive feedback. We’re sorry that **Nikos was occasionally difficult to understand** and that your pickup started a little later than planned. We’re glad our team kept you informed throughout and that the delayed time was **fully added back to your tour**, ensuring you received the complete experience you booked.
Thank you again for choosing **VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini**. We’re especially pleased that, despite those small issues, you had a great experience and were happy you chose the private option. We hope to welcome you back to Santorini one day!
**VIP Transfers and Tours Santorini**
Excellent tour from start to finish, which included Fira, Imervogli and Oia. Our guide, Konstantinos, not only was very knowledgeable and shared much history but also told stories of Greek life. We were able to hit all of the highlights and even recommended an incredible restaurant for lunch which is a must for great Greek cuisine. Must also mention that he’s a very good photographer and took some incredible photos at the best spots. He entertained us in the car with music and he’s also very funny. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2026

For us, those personal touches are what turn a sightseeing tour into a real experience of Santorini, and we’re very happy that Konstantinos made your day both informative and fun. We’ll certainly make sure he sees your wonderful comments.
