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.

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.

We had a great time with Angelo. He was very knowledgeable of Santorini and Greece as a whole. He was on time picking us up and he provided us with safe transportation to all locations. He took us to places to capture great pictures and videos, and he also assisted with pictures when needed. We would certainly recommend this tour with him. We are thankful for him making our first time trip to Santorini memorable!

We undertook a day-long fly-in, fly-out (45 minutes flight) excursion to Santorini, prioritizing maximum time in Greece and experiencing the island's renowned attractions. Our comprehensive island tour concluded with an early dinner at Forty One 41 restaurant, situated on Perissa's black sand beach. The highlights of our visit included Oia, famous for its picturesque whitewashed houses nestled into the rugged clifftops, breathtaking caldera views, blue-domed churches, and narrow cobbled streets accessible only by foot or donkey, as well as the Byzantine Castle Ruins (Castle of St. Nicholas), Profitis Ilias Monastery, the island's highest point, the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, a remarkably preserved 3,000-year-old Minoan city, and the Akrotiri Lighthouse. Angelo was an awesome guide!
