Santorini Private Tour Flexible Hours

Personable & Professional

Booked in June 2024 for a family of 8 people. We used this service to make some reservations I had already made - Ancient Akrotiri and a couple wine tastings. Sikas, our driver, was very helpful and fun to spend time with. I wish I hadn't booked as many things in advance, because Sikas had so many great recommendations for views, food, etc. that I would have loved to participate in. Great service and would absolutely recommend.

Wonderful experience

Santorini is so beautiful and our tour really let us experience that beauty. We only had time for a shorter excursion but our guide knew exactly how to make the most of it for us. Excellent

Great tour

Tour was great. If you go, ask for "Billy". He made suggestions on things to see which was great. Ask for him !!

Very complete tour

This was a very complete tour. Leo was a very able guide. We toured from one end of the island to the other. Leo was very knowlegable and informative. We had agreat time. Would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour

We were 3.5 hours late meeting up with our driver Theodoros due to slow tendering and walking up the hill because the cable car line was very long. He waited for us and gave our group of 7 a fantastic abbreviated tour of Santorini and made sure we were back in time to make the trek back down and be back on the ship before it left. He gave us a lot of interesting information about the island and was very knowledgeable when answering our questions. We would definitely book this tour again.

Personalize the trip as you would like. Great deal!

It was nice that we could tailor our trip to our needs. We asked to be picked up and dropped off in a different location and that was no problem for them. We had a good time and our driver was kind and knowledgeable.

Beautiful Santorini

We took a tour on a flexible schedule of Santorini. The tour was exceptional and our guide (Lee for short) was wonderful. Our visit to Oia was wonderful and we experienced the monastery, the windmills and of course the blue domed churches.

Our driver was...

Our driver was excellent.. very professional, friendly and accommodating - even met us at Oia per our request. He drove us to Red Sand Beach then to Santos for the most awesome view and wine recommended by our driver and finally to Black Sand Beach. Highly Recommended! A++

Good guide, good time.

Leonidas was a very calm and confident guide in a chaotic environment. He was able to accommodate returning to the cable car to get the rest of our guests at a later time but still get us to other requested sites while they were waiting. We were able to see everything we requested in a condensed amount of time. He would wait and check to make sure our whole group was together and offered walking breaks for the older people in our group. I’m sure he felt like he was rushing the tour, but he had to due to time constraints and we were happy with what we were able to see/learn. Would recommend him to friends who were going to Santorini.

Perfect

What an incredible afternoon. Our host was friendly and knowledgeable and let us plan our own itinerary with a few helpful suggestions. Sunset was amazing and his recommendation for a less crowded space was much appreciated. Five stars all the way!

Silent guide

Lack of conversation from the guide. Where we went was beautiful but we had to ask everything there was no knowledge imparted as we drove along no stories told. Nothing!

Perfect in every way!

We had the best tour guide— Ilias! He was flexible, knowledgeable about the area, and knew all the best places for photographs. We adored our time on Santorini and it was because of him and his kind demeanor.

Fantastic tour

Our tour guide & driver Chris was wonderful & very considerate of our physical limits (my husband walks with a cane. We rode in a comfortable limo van & were supplied with water. We liked the fact that at a couple of places Chris would drop us off, we walked at leisure to where he would meet us.

Santorini must

Very comfortable van and the driver was super nice to us. Didn't get to see too much as it was dark but he was a good driver

Taxi ride

It is a taxi He take you there and there and He cani leave car so He cant do you photo etc , so strange touryst do you photo its even not that great because strange people cant do hood photos

Seeing. Santorini the perfect way!

We went on a four hour tour from 10:00-2:00. Our guides Cristo and Brisiilda were very informative about the island. We learned much about the local culture. They also knew exactly how to navigate our tour to miss the crowds in the beautiful places we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend their services. We had a lovely time.

Excellent! Book this company! You will be glad you did.

Our tour with Leonidas was so enjoyable! He was a great guide to show us around the islands and since this was a customizable itinerary, we told him places we wanted to see to add on to his normal route. Leonidas was knowledgeable and so so personable and was someone we could actually be friends with if we lived in the same town. The tour was so great! My husband and I will be keeping this company’s information if we ever have the opportunity to come back to Santorini.

Enjoyed our private tour

Made the tour very accommodating to our needs and wants. Very flexible and pointed out the highlights.

It was a great experience to book through Viator.

The driver Christos was knowledgeable about the places he drove us to, and he was kind and considerate. He found a shady place and escorted two in our group there. He made us comfortable.

Wonderful

The best part of the trip was our Driver Leonidas. He really showed us around the island and gave us a lot of information and history about our tour of Santorini He was Knowledgeable, funny, professional hospitable and just a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Santorini

Be careful about the meeting point

Our trip started out rocky as the pick up/ meeting place on the app took us on a 15 minute walk to a travel agency that we never could find. After using the chat to talk to an operator, he connected us with our driver about 45 minutes late. After that, the tour and driver were AMAZING! We had a wonderful time.

Santorini

Leo was so nice! He pick it ID at Amaury Bay We have a nice time but be prepared to wait for the cable car long lines or stair for returning to the cruise! And please DONT use Dunkins is dangerous

Santorini Sampler

The reason that we chose the private tour was that it allowed us to sample the entire island of Santorini during the limited time that our cruise was docked there. We had a list of what we hoped to do while we were in Santorini, and our guide, Andreas, recommended the best route for doing that. We skipped the cable car line at Fira to catch a water taxi to Amoudi Bay, and our guide met us there. Andreas was more of a capable driver than a talkative guide; we appreciated him getting us to our destinations safely. Thanks to Andreas, we were able to see Oia, Firastephani, the Red Beach, and climb the peak at Mount Profitis Ilias in addition to Akrotiri. We saw all of that and still had time to wait in the immense cable car line to return to our cruise. For the money, this was a much better option than anything the cruise line had to offer.

Cristos showed us the Heart of Santorini

This was absolutely one of our favorite tours of our cruise! Cristos’s van was so luxurious! He was so passionate and enthusiastic about this island where he grew up. He took us to so many hidden treasures of Santorini that make this island so special! We loved strolling through the little town of Ola. The views were breathtaking! Cristos even took us to the hidden “ Heart of Santorini” and a. Little cave church. There was some climbing involved, but it was relatively easy. Our family would highly recommend this tour especially if Cristos is your guide!

Bucket list excursion

Of course the Blue Dome on Oia and dinner at Villa Bourdeaux the food was exotic and the view was very romantic if that's what u r looking for. And are guide Leo was excellent spoke very good English and helped with translations. Fyi much better than a bus excursion with a bunch of people

PRIVATE TOUR OF THE HIGHLIGHTS

We chose this tour initially because we had missed out on booking a cruise ship shore excursion...BUT it turned out to be so much better than any large group tour could ever be!! The guide/driver, Zafiris, was completely open to adapting the tour that he had roughly planned for the 3 hours we had booked, especially once we told him that my husband had hurt his knee earlier on our holiday. He drove to numerous sites on the island, concentrating on the beautiful scenery and quaint little villages that interested us most. Zafiris was full of information and able to answer any questions we had along the way. He was friendly yet professional, drove extremely safely on the narrow roads and scheduled the whole tour to perfection to have us back to the chairlift in plenty of time for our ship's departure. This tour was a perfect introduction to the highlights of beautiful Santorini...highly recommended!

Great drivers - poor guides

I thought we would have a knowledgeable trained guide based on your description. Most disappointed in the knowledge . Very nice and polite when they weren’t on their cell phone but poor knowledge for this tour . It is sad 😞 We travel all over and have not been disappointed like this . The guys stayed on their phones with Very poor knowledge.

Tips when visiting

Our guide Michael was excellent! He showed us around Santorini and gave us very helpful tips. They were waiting for us outside on time and their communication was excellent. My tip to others is to start in Oía the trip as it could take you most of your time there.

Best way to travel

The driver was realy great. He took us to were wanted to go and leaving us time to enjoy freely. And every question we had He had the answer.. thanks for the great service..

Paradise grantee!

Awesome tour! Reliable, fun ,safe day! Our guide made sure we made great timing decisions to beat the crowds.

The best of santorini

This was truly the best and most incredible way to visit santorini. I would recommend this to anyone I would ever come in contact that would like to visit. Our host did a truly remarkable job! Well done

On your time schedule

Great to go at your own pace, and where you want to go. Although the roads have lots of curves and elevations, not recommended for those prone to motion sickness. Oia was the most beautiful village with lots of shops, restaurants and stunning views!

Santorini with Leo

The tour operator Leonardo or Leo for short was amazing. He actually felt like he was a long time friend. He asked questions get to know us which helped him tailor our experience better. He took us to various places around the island. Would definitely recommend doing this activity. Thanks Leo!!!

Seeing the sites of Santorini

My husband and I were in Greece for our honeymoon - we scheduled a private tour for the day we got into Santorini as we weren't planning on renting a car and wanted to get a lay of the land and visit places we wouldn't otherwise be able to get to. Our tour guide, Christóforos (?) was very knowledgeable and personable. He got us to Akrotiri, to the red and black beaches, the and a traditional village and cave house - it was a great way to start off the Santorini leg of our trip.

Fabulous day in Santorini

One of our favourite tours. Our private driver let us dictate the places to go and he recommended a great seafood place for lunch out of tourist area. Highly recommend this tour!

Informative Santorini Private Tour

Panos was our private tour guide. He was waiting at the airport with a sign with my name on it as soon as we stepped off the plane and exited towards passenger pick up. He was friendly and informative. He answered any questions we had and was very patient with the bathroom breaks that was needed for my small son. We explored the red beach, Pyros village, Fira, and Oia village during our tour. Panos also made sure we were picked up at the end of our day and transported back to the airport safely! Thanks you for a great experience!

Great tour and guide

Vaios was waiting for us as soon as we got off the cable car. He was a great tour guide and took us everywhere we wanted to go. Was very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. Would definitely recommend this tour and Vaios!

Stunning Santorini

Amazing private tour around Santorini, our guide Christoph (I think this was his name)was outstanding and very passionate about Santorini. He asked what we would like to see, we weren’t sure so left it to him, wow wow wow he took us to some amazing sights, the busy tourist sights, the highest point on the island where we visited a monastery which was beautiful and tranquil and then he took us to his favourite part of the island where there were hardly any tourists, again stunning and beautiful. We really enjoyed our time with Christophe and answered all our questions too, I would recommend this tour if you would like to see most of Santorini with a local, we loved it.

Great tour!

Excellent tour. Our guide showed us the best of Santorini, and was very respectful of our time restrictions due to the fact that we were only in Santorini for 8 hours. He made sure we saw the sunset from the most beautiful spot on the island, and shared with us a lot of history about the island.

Beautiful scenery

Our guide waited an hour for us to get up the cable car (if you’re coming in a cruise ship, give yourself AT LEAST an hour for the line) and was very gracious about it. He learned it was our wedding anniversary and brought us to very beautiful and romantic settings. He also asked if we had anything in particular we wanted to see, so there is freedom to customize your trip. (Again, if you’re getting back into a ship allow lots of time to either get back down the cable car or take the stairs. The wait for the tram was in excess of 3 hours to go down so we took the stairs - there are 600 and they’re slippery marble. Be prepared!)

Bad experience- don’t use this company

Unable to fulfill plans because driver was late. Did not help with any advice or direction. Old uncomfortable van that did not accommodate our group.

See Santorini with a local guide

We had a great day. We spent almost 6 hours exploring the entire island. We visited a momentary, a black sand beach, a beach with red rocks, small little villages and then Oia. Our guide knew just where to be at the right times to get amazing photos and to try to avoid some of the crowds.

We paid for up to 12 hour...

We paid for up to 12 hour tour and we only got six hours was not happy about that. There was no water in the van and the Tour guide barely gave us any information on Santorini. I it seemed a little on organized and their part. I’ve used them before and had no problem but this was not a good day.

Wonderful day in Santorini

What a perfect day! Pick up was an easy met at the top of the funicular. Our driver/guide was wonderful. Very personable and informative. With this tour we were able to see the highlights of the entire island. Highly recommend.

Santorini tour in one day.

This tour was perfect for our group as we we’re only in Santorini for 6-7 hours and only needed someone who was familiar with the island and could get us from each location we chose to visit quickly and Theo our tour guide was amazing. He was kind, funny, very friendly and knew where to go and what we would be interested in the most. It was a great tour.

Quick highlights

We told Christo what we wanted & we got exactly that & more. He was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour operator.

Wow ! Magnifique excursion !

Quelle belle journée passée avec notre guide Leonidas ! Nous avions notre guide privé ! Il nous a conduit dans les plus beaux endroits pour prendre de superbes photos à Santorini. Il nous a conduit au plus haut sommet de l'île au monastère où on avait une splendide vue de 360°. Par la suite, on a fait un petit arrêt à la plage Perissa qui est une plage de sable noir. Leonidas a répondu à toutes nos questions et nous a donné beaucoup d'informations tout au long de notre excursion. Il est un guide extraordinaire et très professionnel. On le recommande fortement ! Cette excursion a été au-delà de nos attentes et demeurera inoubliable. Merci Leonidas !
