Private Santorini Tour: Oia Sunset, Villages & Black Sand Beach
Description
This private Santorini tour covers the island's most iconic landmarks in five hours, with a knowledgeable local guide and a luxury vehicle entirely to yourself.

The tour also includes a stop at Artemis Karamolegos, one of Santorini's most celebrated wineries, before ending at the iconic black volcanic sand beach of Perissa.

Sophia is a wealth of knowledge and knew people at every stop. George knows his way around the island very well as they have been doing this for sometime! Excellent and Fun tour guides. Would definitely recommend them as a team!!!
A very nice experience with punctuality and flexible attitude of the guide. The route is changed as needed and is therefore always kept up to date. We were very satisfied with Sofia as host.
Sofia picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable vehicle, and proceeded to introduce us to Santorini from end to end. Her warm personality and humor made it a delightful day. She was knowledgeable about the history of the island, and her delivery brought it to life. The factual information was sprinkled with the stories and anecdotes of island life. The restaurant she chose for lunch was excellent and she went out of her way to coordinate with another guide so that we could meet our daughter and her family for lunch. Sofia also took pictures along the way to record the highlights. I can't say enough about the experience and we would highly recommend it!
We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
My boyfriend and I spent an amazing day with Sofia exploring the whole island, including wineries, beaches, the monastery, and Oia! Sofia is the best guide - fun, knowledgeable, and easy to hang out with. We genuinely enjoyed her company and felt like we spent the day with a good friend. I cannot recommend her more! An added plus is that she was our personal photographer for the day, capturing moments we would not have documented without her :-) Thanks Sofia, Kevin and I can’t wait to come back to Santorini!

We had good time with Sofia during Panoramic tour of Santorini. She was a good driver and caring. She picked us from hotel
Sofia was exceptional in all ways!! She was on time, responsive and professional, and make sure that we had the experience that we wanted as a group. She also gave us a lot of recommendations on nightlife, excursions, which were all top-notch. I would highly recommend Sofia if you are looking for a personalized private tour in Santorini..
Sophie provided us with a personalised experience and ensured that she provided us multiple options to chose from. The sites that she took us to made our day memorable. Sophie also went above and beyond in providing excellent recommendations when we asked her for the same and extended that across different cities in Greece Thanks Sophie for an amazing time!
Excellent . Sofia and George are the best. For cruse passengers i highly recommend!! Friendly and high knowledge!!!!!
Awesome time with Sofia. Lots of laughs along the way, and learned a lot about the ancient and modern history of the island. Do your research before on what you want to look at, and the service is more than accommodating to your needs.
If you’re looking for a truly unique way to experience Santorini, I highly recommend booking a private tour. From start to finish, the whole experience was tailored to our preferences and felt incredibly personalized. Our guide was not only friendly and professional, but also extremely knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems. We had the flexibility to visit iconic spots like Oia and Fira, but also discovered lesser-known treasures like secluded beaches and quiet villages. It felt like we were getting a local’s insider perspective! The itinerary was perfectly paced, with plenty of time for us to soak in the views, take photos, and explore at our own pace. We were driven around in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, which made the whole experience even more relaxing, especially during the hot summer days. One of the highlights was watching the sunset in a quieter area, away from the usual tourist crowds. It was a magical moment that we’ll never forget. We also had time to stop at a local winery for a wine tasting, where we learned about the island’s unique viticulture. This private tour was worth every penny. It allowed us to experience Santorini in a way that large group tours simply can’t offer. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a more intimate and customizable Santorini adventure!
