Meet your private driver-guide at your Santorini hotel or Santorini cruise port, hop inside your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and set off on your custom tour of the island. Your tour includes all transport, with all meals and entrance fees at your own expense.

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 witness. 

See the Itinerary for examples of the different activities and attractions you can enjoy during your tour.

Fabulous tour

We were a group of 6 adults ranging from 60-80 years old. Gabriel was our driver and guide. He picked us up right on time. He took us to all of the highlights of Santorini and then he took us to places the locals go to. We all thoroughly enjoyed him and his expertise! We highly recommend him.

Gabriel was a great guide. He has lived on the island for a long time. Knew all the cultural and historical details. Very enthusiastic. Enjoyed the tour of the wine museum and the evening views of Oia. Unfortunately missed the Akhritori site because it was shut down due to the coronavirus scare.

Amazing shore excursion with Doris
Tracy_F
, Nov 2019
This company was very responsive from before I even booked the tour, and on the day of tour the lovely Doris met us and gave us a very enjoyable tour of the island, including lots of little snippets of interesting information and local perspective, which we appreciated. She also showed us less touristy spots which were very beautiful and not as crowded. We highly recommend this tour company. Dimitris was kind and helpful everytime I spoke to him about our tour. Within 5 hours, Doris had us cover all the parts that we wanted to see and more at an enjoyable pace, and back to our cruise ship in good time. Highly recommend and thank you for the great time.
