Pickup details
1. Hotel & Airbnb Guests Pickup Pickup is available from all hotels and Airbnbs in Santorini. If your hotel or Airbnb is not accessible by car due to pedestrian-only areas or other restrictions, pickup will take place at a nearby main road location, within a short walking distance. This is standard practice for all tours and excursions in Santorini, as many hotels and Airbnbs are not directly accessible by car due to pedestrian zones and steps. 2. Cruise Passengers Pickup Santorini is a tender-only port. You will be tendered ashore to either: Athinios Port (road-accessible), or Fira Town Port / Old Port (not accessible by car, serviced only by cable car). If you are tendered to Athinios Port, we will pick you up directly from the Athinios Port (road access available). If you are tendered to Fira Town Port instead, pickup will be from the Santorini McDonald’s near the top of the cable car, please note that in order to reach Santorini McDonalds you must take the cable car from the Old Port (3 minutes ride, bottom to top). Cable Car Tickets: €10 per person, per ride (extra cost, paid directly at the cable car counter; tickets cannot be pre-purchased, cost is not included in tour cost - must be covered on your own). The tour operator has no control whether you are finally tendered to Fira Town Port or Athinios Port; this decision is made solely by cruise line/ship. 3. Travelers Arriving by Ferry (not Cruise Ship) Complimentary (free of charge) pickup is provided from the Santorini (Athinios) Port. 4. Travelers Arriving by Plane / Helicopter / Commercial Flight This tour provides complimentary (free of charge) pickup from Santorini Airport as well as all heliports and helipads in Santorini. 1.

F.A.Q - Cruise Passengers: "I am a cruise passenger, what happens if I arrive late, I am nervous that with the tendering and cable car logistics I might miss my private tour/driver appointment"/ Answer: We are aware that Santorini is a tender port, and we understand that the “logistics” with the cable car and tenders is somewhat unpredictable. Regardless if you arrive late on your private tour/driver appointment, there is no need to worry. Your “tour/driver” time starts from the moment you meet with your guide/driver, not before. Our staff member/members will be waiting for you for as long as it needs – complimentary. Additionally, our Customer Support/Service Team is always with you via live WhatsApp Chat, to guide you through every process, emergencies and last-minute assistance where needed.
Itinerary
Before you head anywhere, chat to your friendly guide about the sights you want to see and visit during your tour. As your tour is private, the itinerary is completely flexible and can be customized to match your interests and preferences.
Perhaps start with a visit to one of Santorini’s must-sees: the timeworn excavated ruins at Akrotiri. Here, stroll around the remnants of the Minoan Bronze Age settlement that was buried, and preserved by, volcanic ash as a result of a major eruption in the second millennium BC.
You may also want to relax on one of Santorini’s black sand beaches or delve into its picture-postcard villages, such as Pyrgos and Oia—the latter known for its spectacular sunsets. Then, maybe finish with a visit to a traditional winery to taste or purchase (own expense) some of Santorini’s fresh and distinctive wines. The island's winemaking history stretches back more than 4,000 years, and its varietals are renowned for their crispness and high acidity.
Alternatively, ask your guide for their inside take on what to see and do, and perhaps discover some of the experiences and places that other visitors never get to see.
