Itinerary
Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah) mountain is the highest spot of the island (567 meters) and located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain's name, coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.
After it, we will meet Akrotiri Red beach that it is arguably one of the most famous and beautiful beaches of Santorini. It is located only some steps away from the ancient site of Akrotiri. The small size of the beach creates a much crowded atmosphere and there are many days where most of the visitors choose not to make it all the way down to the beach and instead admire this unique landscape of red and black volcanic rocks from the headland.
Next stop in Black beach that distinguishes for its sparkling azure blue waters and tranquil atmosphere. On the beach front there are numerous taverns, pubs and restaurants serving fresh fish and local delicacies. We will stop there for 1 1/2 h to relax, swim and for food.
We will meet Imerovigli village. There we will see Skaros, a grand rock, the remnant of the most important castle. we will have the opportunity to walk around and explore the Village and take breath taking photos.

This was a great tour. Our driver, Kostas, was excellent and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this.
Santorini was so beautiful! Our tour guide took us to all of the spots we wanted to see and some we didn’t know about! He was very knowledgeable and we’d highly recommend this tour!
We (3 retirees) flew in from Athens for the day. We were in Greece for a wedding and felt we had to see Santorini and we were so glad that we did! We were picked up at the airport as scheduled by Panagiotis, who was very pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. He took us directly to Oia early enough to avoid the crowds from the cruise ships. He knew the best places for great photos, and along our walks and drives with him, shared info about the history of the island and all its beautiful views. You could tell he loves the island and his job. We went from one end of the island to the other, stopping at Fira, Imerovigli, the Red beach, Black beach, Akrotiri, and the monastery on the highest point of the island. Along the way, he brought us for lunch overlooking the Black beach. The food was delicious, outdoor dining and the staff was excellent there. We traveled at a moderate pace, never felt rushed. He took us everywhere we wanted to go, avoiding the crowds. His driving skills were really put to the test on some of the mountain roads, but he maneuvered the van like a pro. We felt that the best things about Santorini were the amazing views and beautiful scenery and Panagiotis, who gave us the most perfect day of our stay in Greece. We felt the cost of that flight and tour of Santorini was money well spent. Thanks again to Panagiotis for making us feel welcome and giving us a wonderful tour of his beautiful island home.
It was a nice experience. Going around the island to all the different place. The driver is nice and friendly and take us to a good seaside restaurant for seafood lunch.
Wonderful full day tour! Our guide and driver was very informative and pleasant. Be advised that if you choose to do the stairs they are killers! Once on top lots to see and do.
He was an excellent driver. However, he was not a local and certainly not a tour guide. He answered questions if we asked. I excepted a professional tour guide not a taxi driver.
Dear Linda, First of all we would like to thank you for the feedback. Our tours we write that they are not with a professional guide but with an english speaking driver that he can give you some informations for the island and ofcourse to take you at the must see of the island. Thank you, Martha
Our guide navigated the crowded tourists area extremely well, nee the history, knows the hidden gems as well as catering to our interests.
Excellent guide, very friendly. He made an effort to explain the most important things about each site. I would use it again
Nikos was easy to communicate with via Whats App for pickups. He was friendly & helpful. We opted to spend a few hours in Oia, then an hour at black sand beach and then we had a reservation at Santo Wines. Be sure to make a reservation at Santo Wines for dinner. We had a reservation for 730pm and enjoyed the best view of a sunset ever over wine flights and dinner. Our servers were so fun and attentive. This was the highlight of our 11days in Italy & Greece!!! It is crazy coming into Santorini so we were thankful to have a private driver/guide for our party of 6.
Disappointing and unprofessional. After zero communication and me having to reach out to ask them where to meet and what the plan is, they canceled the private tour booking a week before the date. Why did you take my reservation if there's no availability that date? I just went back on the website and they're still listing that date as available, but I'm definitely looking elsewhere. Now I have to scramble to find a new activity for my family.
dear sir/madame,,, As I undertand you never did the tour. about the cancellation that you write i am sure that you are correct but unfortunately we have availability only for 4 tours per day and viator did for this day 5bookings that it is not suitable for us. after this problem we communicated with them to fix this problem from automatic reservation to manual so we will be the company that we will check availability and confirm about this. final, we cancelled the reservation 1week before not the last minute and ofcourse with full refund. thank you, Martha
