Tour Options
Itinerary
Begin your tour in Oia, which has earned Santorini its star fame and made countless people fall in love - and explore it with a local who knows its hidden stories, how to beat the crowds and get you those photo-ops and nice souvenirs without any “tourist traps”. Cycladic architecture at its finest: lovely whitewashed houses, cave homes, captains’ mansions, blue-domed churches, bougainvillea in full color.
Adding to that is Firostefani: with its winning central location, the Three Bells viewpoint offers you a closer perspective at the whole shape of the caldera and the younger volcanic islets in the middle, as well as an amazing guide-book cover shot.
Continue your journey to the traditional village of Megalochori, which is known for its vineyards, artesans and quieter charms. Walk with our small group down the sloping street and let gravity finally be on your side as you get a personalized glimpse of Santorini’s everyday life further away from the usual caldera spots.
Last but not the least, rest your feet at the world-famous Perivolos Black Beach. Whether you feel like taking a dip, just lounging with a drink or having a delicious locally sourced lunch, enjoy the crystal-clear waters and breathtaking volcanic sands without the rush of a big bus tour.

We had an amazing tour in Santorini, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized, the van was clean and comfortable, and our driver was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the island. We visited breathtaking locations, learned interesting facts about Santorini's history and culture, and enjoyed a relaxed, personalized experience without feeling rushed. The itinerary was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy every stop. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini. It’s a fantastic way to explore the island and create unforgettable memories. Thank you for such a wonderful experience Gina and Gianni!!
Yanis was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning more about the island and seeing the beautiful sites.
Great tour! We had a nice overview of the island stopping at important landmarks that would have been difficult to get to on our own. Angelo was very informative giving us a lot of historical details and answering our questions. Highly recommend!
Would not recommend for cruise travelers. We communicated early our ship arrival time and while the company was friendly and responsive, they left on the tour without us and without communicating they were leaving the meeting point. We had no control over our ship & disembarkation process, but followed the company’s suggestion of taking the cable car. They even told us to “be prepared to wait in line for a while.” We communicated that disembarkation was taking longer than expected and while the company waited, they did not reach out about when we would be arriving to the meeting point. We did not make the tour and a refund was refused. Overall, would not suggest for people coming from a cruise ship, as neither the early time nor afternoon times are suitable or respected by the company.
Great tour around the island! Our guide did a great job driving us around and explaining about the island and its history
We really enjoyed the personal approach the guide took on our tour. He was well versed in the history and culture of the island. The trip to the black beach was wonderful. We highly recommend this tour.
A sensational visit; we booked a group tour, but since it was full, they offered us the option to do it privately for an extra fee. We had a great tour with our driver-guide YANIZE, who showed us the best of the island with sensational historical knowledge. Thank you, YANIZE, for making this trip unforgettable!!!!
Angelo the guide is very nice, he has good knowledge of the surrounding areas. I learned a lot about the history of Santorini. Customer service staff is also always available when being messaged. He is highly recommended! This tour is 10 over 10.
