On this tour, you’ll see and taste the highlights—including the cliffside village of Oia—in just one day. Let someone else handle driving the windy, crowded roads as you relax and enjoy the scenery. Plus, because your tour is private, you’ll get plenty of individualized attention along the way.

Great way to see Santorini in a day!

Martha_S, Oct 2025

We had 12 travelers & they were able to accommodate our group in a very nice van. They were also able to shift to an alternative port pick up at the last minute when there was a power outage at the main port with the funicular. Our guide was able to show us the whole island, avoid the crowds & do a wine tasting all in 6 hrs. Fabulous day! Definitely recommend doing a private tour with them on Santorini. Very worth the price! Slight hiccup at the end of the day with a super long line for the funicular due to the earlier power outage & 5 cruise ships being in port, making us a little late for our ship. We were assured by our guide that we would not be left & they were right! One of our memorable stories to tell.

Amazing Santorini - Full Day Private Tour

Our tour was exceptional! Our guide George was waiting for us as soon as we got off the ship. He took us from the south end of the beautiful island of Santorini to the north end. He arranged a wonderful dinner place for us by the black rock beach that had the best fresh fish I have ever had! We shopped, had time to go to the beach, ate a wonderful dinner and saw the beautiful island. Not to mention, George got wonderful pics of our family at all the most beautiful locations! Thank you for the memories in Santorini!!!
