Santorini in off-season shows off its friendly and industrious people while you enjoy the beauty without the crowds.
Cristos was our guide and made friends easily and comfortably. We enjoyed each other’s company as he showed us many beautiful spots on the island without traffic or congested streets. He was a joy to have as our guide. I can’t imagine a more perfect, sunny blue-sky day and enjoyable excursion as we visited many of Santorini’s treasures and beautiful people.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Christos was very helpful and accommodating. He made my travel to Santorini worth it. I am glad that I booked this tour and more glad that Christos was assigned to me. He brought me to different places that I would have not be able to go if I just rely on Google and maps. He was also very kind enough to take photos of me, although he don't need to. He took me lots of good shots. It was the best decision to book the tour. He was also providing me background and history on the places we go which made it more memorable. I would definitely recommend VIP transfers and tours. Katerina was also very nice and messaged me before the scheduled trip.

Sometimes in your travels you meet the perfect person, on the perfect day, in the perfect place, …. and that is what happened on our tour of the island of Santorini Greece! Our tour guide, Christos, was beyond wonderful. He shared the history of the island as we drove to incredibly picturesque photo stops. He drove to places we never could have seen or known
about without him. One of our favorites was the Church of Prophet Elias built in 1750 on the top of a high mountain. We even met the man who is the caretaker and helped rebuild the church after it was destroyed in the 1956 earthquake. He drove us through adorable villages and to the top of the highest point in Santorini. He took us to the black sand beach and found the best seafood restaurant called Perivolos Fish Tavern. We all had fresh fish that had just been caught from the sea! It was excellent! He shared so much interesting information with us and listened to all our many stories, too! On our way back to our place in Oia he even agreed to stop at a market so we could pick up a few groceries!!
Chris is not only an absolutely magnificent tour guide but a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful man!
Best Tour Ever!!!❤️

My boyfriend and I booked this tour with no idea what to expect we just knew we had limited time in Santorini and wanted to see the most we could. Nikos went above and beyond for us and we cannot recommend him enough. He not only took us to all the sights but really gave us so much information on the culture, history of the island and so much more. I highly recommend this tour even if you don’t have limited time it is so worth it. Nikos, thank you so much for making our vacation perfect.

What a magical day! Santorini was my non-negotiable cruise stop selecting our cruise. My dream destination and it did not disappoint. George was an amazing tour guide. Showed us all the best spots. Places you can’t believe you’re seeing with your own eyes. Highly suggest this tour. Communication was great along the way and meeting up in the cruise port area was super easy.

Our tour guide George was fabulous…..
he was on time, informative and passionate about the history. Unfortunately it was a stormy rainy day, he tried to accommodate us to make sure that we saw all the sightseeing. He even took us to a winery that was not included in our tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Patricia, for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that George made the best of a rainy day and went above and beyond to ensure you still enjoyed all the sights, including the extra winery stop. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to him. We hope to welcome you back to sunny Santorini in the future! Thank you for choosing VIP Santorini for your tour in Santorini!
Terry_G, Oct 2025
This a mixed experience, driver was mostly polite and helpful but got angry at me and others in the group as well as passers by several times which was very unpleasant and not what you would expect. On the upside he took some great photos of us in some excellent locations.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you Terry for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful locations and the wonderful photos taken during your tour.
We’re sorry to read that part of your experience felt uncomfortable. Our guides always aim to create a friendly and professional atmosphere for everyone in the group. Sometimes, in the lively and crowded setting of Santorini, our Mediterranean energy and tempo can be perceived differently — but please rest assured that our intentions are always to provide the best experience possible for our guests.
Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team as part of our continuous improvement efforts. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future for a fully enjoyable experience.

My wife and I returned to Santorini on a cruise ship. Since we only had one day, we booked the small group tour “All Santorini’s Treasures” to revisit some of our favorite spots. Even though we’d been there before, our guide, Nico showed us new scenic places we had not seen before. He was a friendly, knowledgeable guide that knows all the most scenic places and the very best spot for the best pictures! We had a wonderful time!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Nico made your return to Santorini so special, showing you new scenic gems even on a second visit.
It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the tour and captured beautiful memories along the way. We hope to welcome you back again!
Debra_S, Oct 2025
The tour was nice but the tour guy was ok. We felt the guy fell short given information as we pasted several interesting things Several periods of silence with no communication from the tour guide. Would not use the same guide again.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall, though we’re sorry to learn that the guiding style did not entirely meet your expectations.
Our guides are experienced professionals who always aim to create a pleasant and engaging experience. However, during small-group or private tours, there are often moments of quiet — this can happen when there isn’t much to comment on along the route, when guests prefer to relax and enjoy the view, or when the guide senses limited interest or response from participants and adjusts accordingly. Sometimes silence simply allows everyone to take in the beauty of Santorini at their own pace.
We truly value your comments and will use them to continue improving our tours. We’re glad you still found the experience enjoyable and hope to welcome you again in the future — perhaps with a different tour style that better matches your preferences.
Carol_R, Oct 2025
Tour guide was just okay -- each time we got in the van I had to ask where we were going next. I missed seeing the activity level for the tour -- way too many steps for me. I waited at the van a number of times
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you very much Carol for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you joined our semi-private small group tour, and we truly appreciate your honesty regarding your experience.
Santorini’s unique beauty often comes with its own challenges — especially in the cliffside villages, where there are naturally many steps and uneven paths. We completely understand how this can make certain parts of the tour less comfortable.
For guests who prefer to explore at a gentler pace or with limited walking, we always recommend booking a private tour. This allows the itinerary and timing to be adjusted entirely to your comfort level, ensuring a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
We sincerely regret that this aspect impacted your day, and we appreciate your understanding. Your comments help us continue improving how we communicate activity levels in advance so every guest can choose the most suitable option.
We wish you the best!

Nikos was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, efficient, caring and showed the group some amazing spots on the island.

I had the pleasure of touring Santorini with Nicos, and I couldn't have asked for a better guide. From the start, his deep knowledge of the island's history, culture, and hidden gems was evident, making each stop feel like an educational experience. He was incredibly flexible, tailoring the tour to my interests, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had the best experience possible. Nicos is also a fantastic photographer, capturing stunning shots of me in the breathtaking scenery. On top of that, he’s extremely relatable and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini!
