Description
Explore Santorini at your own pace with a private driver-guide and vehicle — just for your group, no strangers, no shared seats. Choose your tour length: 4 hours for the essentials, 5 hours for more sightseeing, or the 8-hour VIP Experience, a fully curated day with a private winery visit, an exclusive sunset spot, and help booking dinner. Every tour starts with pickup from your hotel, the Fira cable car, cruise port, or airport, in an air-conditioned vehicle sized to your group. See Oia's whitewashed streets and caldera views, the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and Perissa's black sand beach. The 5-hour tour adds the caldera villages of Firostefani and Imerovigli. The 8-hour VIP Experience shapes the day around what you're looking for. Add a wine tasting stop to any tour, priced per traveler, or extend by up to two hours, priced per group. This is a private tour — only your own group travels in the vehicle.

Itinerary
Oia's Main Street
Oia has an mystique scent attracting artists from all over the world. There are so many art galleries and other places of cultural interest to visit so you will never be bored. Take pictures of the whitewashed houses and walk around the winding streets. You will also have some free time to shop for souvenirs or taste some of the best local delicacies of the island.
The castle of Pyrgos
Hosting beautiful views, in Pyrgos village you can find churches dated from the 11th century, as well as a Venetian castle.
Firostefani
A quiet, caldera-view village just north of Fira, known for its blue-domed church and sweeping views over the volcano.
Imerovigli
Caldera views near Skaros Rock — one of the most dramatic viewpoints on the island, just past Firostefani.
Perissa Black Sand Beach
Perissa with the extraordinaty 7km long black volcanic sandy beach is our next stop. The existence of the volcano on the island is obvious with the dark sand covering the beach. We are sure that you will find everything you want from this beach from crystal clear waters to amazing opportunities for water fun
Megalochori - Traditional Village
Our tour would not leave out a visit at a traditional Winery so you can have the opportunity to taste sensational wines from some of the oldest vineyards in Europe. Try up the famous varietals of Santorini wines such as Assyrtiko, Nychteri and Vinsanto.
Monastery of Profitis Ilias
The Monastery was built in 1711, on the highest point of the island, 567m above the sea level. The striking view of the entire island is really amazing. Don’t miss the opportunity to taste the dessert wine, honey and extra virgin olive oil that’s made on site only by the monks.

Wonderful tour of the Santorini island
Excellent tour of Santorini. Our driver drove us to all the highlights of the island including Oia , winery and the black beaches. He was very professional, gave us many interesting facts about the island and tailored the trip perfectly to what our interests were. He also took wonderful pictures of my husband and I. If you have a short stay in Santorini this is the way to see the island.

Exceptional experience
This private day trip is worth every penny that we paid. Alex, our guide patiently waited for us because we had to take the tender from our cruise ship and the line was long at the cable car. We were able to see what we wanted to see within the short period we were in Santorini. Our guide was very knowledgeable with the history of Santorini. I would recommend this to anybody who only has a few hours to spend in Santorini.
Operator response
Thank you for your excellent review! We understand that arriving from a cruise ship can sometimes involve unexpected delays with the tender boats and cable car, so we’re delighted that Alex’s patience and flexibility helped you make the most of your limited time in Santorini. It’s wonderful to hear that you visited everything you wanted and enjoyed learning about the island’s history. Thank you for your recommendation!
