This was one of the best excursions on our trip to the Greek Islands. The tour guild and bus driver were very professional. They waited for us at the destination we were supposed to meet at holding a sign with our name on it. They took us everywhere we asked and we even got to take a dip in the Adriatic ocean. I would defiantly recommend this tour.”

Our guide Filippa and driver Angelos were wonderful. We could not have picked a more perfect trip. It was designed for the things that we were interested in and that we wanted to see. We only had three days on Santorini so we wanted to make sure that we got the best of everything and this trip delivered that 100%. Because it’s private you can really customize it to your needs. There really was no other need for us to book any other additional tours.”

Spectacular views, rich in tradition and culture. All brought to life by our OUTSTANDING tour guide. This was so much more than private transportation. This was a complete tour narrated by our guide in perfect fluent english. Well Done! And if you can request it, ask for Maria - She is awesome. Totally Recommend.”

We had an amazing guide and the tour was exactly what we were hoping for. got to see everything and learned a lot of the history and life on the island. We have never had a bad experience booking with Viator”

this was wonderful tour. Enabled us to see the whole island of Santorini. Leaving early helped us to avoid the cruise ship tours and the crowds. So much historical information was given and this made the tour even more enjoyable. So nice to have native of Santorini as a guide - the history becomes so alive. Beautiful lunch at seashore made the trip even more delightful. We have used Viator many times in the past and have never been disappointed. Will continue to use Viator for our future travels.”

We visited Santorini as part of a cruise, so our time was limited to one day. We were a party of six - two had visited before, but four had never visited. We chose Viator primarily because the cost for six people with Viator was cheaper than booking a tour through the cruise line! We were fortunate enough to get Dora as our Tour Guide for the day. Dora met us at the top of the funicular in Fira exactly as planned and our visit began. Our first stop was at the Monastery and we enjoyed the beautiful views, next, we visited Venetsanos Winery for tasting and then had a late lunch on the black sand beach. After that, we headed to Oia for the sunset. Dora is very knowledgeable about the history of Santorini (as well as current affairs) and shared that information as well as her enthusiasm, both of which "made our day." Dora made us all feel that we were the most important people in Santorini. If you're going back and forth whether to book this tour or not - do it. You won't regret it.”

Jeannie was THE BEST. Along with Alex our driver this experience was a true highlight of our whole vacation. Could not have been better! The spots were beautiful but Jeannie is the person you want to spend your day with in Santorini. By the end of the day we all felt like family - enjoy!!”

Toured Oia, Monastery Of Profitis Ilias, the red and white beach, and a couple of other areas. Our Tour guide and driver were superb and immersed us into the local culture. If you only go on one your, THIS is the one.”

Panos, our driver was the perfect guide. He shared his knowledge of Santorini and we saw everything. Panos somehow had us in places avoiding the crowds and gave us time to walk around. He took pictures for us, had a great sense of humor and made our day perfect. My daughter and I are still talking about this wonderful day. An absolute must to do this tour.”

This tour was one of a kind! Simply fabulous! Constantine (Stan) was amazing!! His knowledge and ability to cater to his client's needs was phenomenal!!!!!! He was genuine, caring while focused on the task on hand. We received knowledge, amazing picture and an unforgettable experience! Would definitely recommend him and this tour to anyone that will listen!”

The best experience we had in entire Europe. Many people think Oia is "THE" place to visit in Santorini, but thanks to Constantino, he showed us so many different places and amazing views in Santorini. It would have just not been possible for us to just rent a scooter or car to see all these places as no website talks about all these beautiful places and views that only an expert local guide like Constantino would know. In the beginning of the trip Constantino asked us if there is anything specific that we would like to cover in this experience and we requested for all the best views to take the best pictures for our memories in Santorini. Constantino is an amazing photographer and he not only had tons of patience but he made photography as a story line for the entire trip. Constantino, a big thank you for making our trip to Santorini such a memorable one.”

Santorini was all that we expected and a private tour was well worth the money. Our driver was great, treated us with fresh tomatoes from the field, figs from his yard. Our tour guide was very informative, at times a little to much. We enjoyed our lunch at a sea side shore restaurant. We had a group do 7, including 2 teens, we all enjoyed the experience.”

We had an amazing time on our tour in Santorini, Ginni and Mr. John (our tour guide and driver) were the best. Ginni explained various locations, actually gave us many options of things to see and our party very much enjoyed being in their company. An example of our experience was Ginni recommended a place to stop for lunch, the food was amazing, and at the end of the meal we were invited to smash dishes on the patio of the restaurant...Opa! In my opinion this was the best way to see Santorini, with a tour guide and diver. The car was large and clean, and very comfortable. I would recommend this tour to all”

Stephanos led a great tour of Santorini, giving the 4 of us a personal look at the island with insights of the culture and history. We visited various areas from busy cities to quiet towns, farms and even a really interesting winery. The itinerary was very flexible and Stephanos listened to what we wanted to do and also made great suggestions. We really enjoyed our time. The van was clean and comfortable with a very capable driver as well and cold water was always available. One of our group left a scarf behind in the van after the tour and they were very responsive, found the scarf and arranged to have it returned to us back in the states within a week! Very impressive, I'd highly recommend this tour.”
