Description
This private tour is designed for travelers who want the freedom to experience Santorini in a way that actually suits them.
Instead of following a fixed route, you can shape the day around your own interests, whether that means iconic blue domes, caldera viewpoints, old castles, prehistoric history, local snacks, hidden neighborhoods, or quieter villages away from the busiest tourist flow. Your local guide helps bring the island to life while adjusting the experience to your timing, pace, and travel style.
This is a good fit for food lovers, history lovers, photographers, families, couples, and travelers who want something more personal than a standard sightseeing tour. With a private vehicle, onboard Wi-Fi, and flexible planning, the experience stays easy and comfortable from pickup to drop-off.
No set itinerary, no unnecessary rush; just a Santorini day built around you.

Expert Tour!
I cannot say enough about Aphrodite and Santoriginal Tours. From the outset, she was a wealth of help and knowledge. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and helped us plan this bucket list trip I desired. I had no worries we would be taken care of upon arrival. She met us with a smile, and we were off. She expertly navigated the island and took us where we wanted to go, and we also trusted her recommendations. We enjoyed getting to know her and the island. We left with wonderful memories and felt like we had made a friend as well. Thank you Aphrodite!

Spectacular - Private Tour with Aphrodite
Our private tour with Aphrodite was absolutely amazing, and a highlight of our trip to Greece. We would highly recommend her. She was extremely knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and just a wonderful person to be around. She structured the day perfectly, so we saw everything we wanted to see, without ever feeling rushed. She made the day feel magical. She also took the best pictures, especially in Oia, where she maneuvered our way through the crowds to take great pictures. We felt like her friend by the end of the day. We can't say enough about Aphrodite, she was beyond spectacular and felt lucky to have spent the day with her.

Best 65th Birthday ever on Private Tour with Aphrodite!
We knew we had limited time in Santorini on our cruise stop so we booked a private tour on my twin and I's 65th birthday. Our guide and driver was Aphrodite and she was beyond amazing. Cruise ship docking can be complicated in Santorini and Aphrodite reached out several days prior to confirm all the details. She met us right where the tenders dropped us off at the port and from the moment we met her we knew we were in for an incredible day. She had figured out the best route to avoid the crowds and was so knowledgeable about the area. She had a fun personality and we felt like a friend was showing us around. We were stressed about the cable car after reading so much about the long lines. Aphrodite knew all the cruise ship schedules in port that day and dropped us off at the perfect time and we walked right onto the cable car no lines! Definitely would recommend this tour.

The only and best way to really see the beautiful island of Santorini!
From initial contact with Aphrodite, to our tour with Nikolas, the entire experience went seamlessly well!
We didn’t know what to expect. Aphrodite was warm and suggested we do a minimum of four hours which turned out to be the perfect option.
Nikolas greeted us as a stranger and we left feeling like we made a good friend. His vibrant personality and deep knowledge of Santorini was truly evident from the start.
Nikolas treated us like family and the entire experience was meaningful and a total pleasure! Do not hesitate, I don’t believe you will find anyone finer to take you around Santorini and make you feel so appreciated!

Best tour of Santorini.
Authentic, informative, very personal. If coming off a cruise ship allow minimum one hour to get to shore and get up the tram. We did the donkeys , which is how people got around in santoriani for years.

Your note about allowing enough time from the cruise ship to reach shore is helpful for future visitors, because good timing makes the whole island day feel easier.

Fun cruise excursion, reasonable price
Thomas guided our tour - 15 people from one family, three generations. We had a great time and Thomas made it a fun, memorable experience. He was friendly, capable, flexible and knowledgeable. The van was cool and comfortable. They represented that it was custom and it really was - whatever we enjoyed, we did more of. Would recommend without reservation.
Operator response
Thank you for your generous 5✨ review! We’re so happy Thomas made your Santorini private tour memorable for three generations of your family. A group of 15 needs flexibility, comfort, and good timing, and it means a lot to hear the day felt custom, relaxed, and worth recommending. Wishing you the best in all your future endeavors and travels! 💙
