Private Full-Day Santorini Sightseeing Tour
Overview
This flexible, 7-hour tour begins as early or as late as you wish: head out from any time between 7am and 9pm. Your private driver will meet you directly at your accommodation, cruise ship port, or even Santorini airport. Once you hop in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, the tour is officially underway.
Begin your sightseeing adventure in the north of the island, at the scenic village of Oia: one of Santorini’s most visually striking locations. The village has long inspired artists with its beauty, and sits overlooking the island’s caldera.
Next, head to the traditional cliff-top village of Imerovigli before venturing to Firostefani, another nearby village that's famous for its distinctive, blue-domed church.
Santorini is also home to its own ancient ruins: the site of Akrotiri, an ancient Minoan village that was buried by the island’s colossal volcanic eruption. Don't miss the chance to see the incredible, well-preserved remnants of the settlement for yourself.
Afterwards, it’s on to the island’s appropriately named Red and Black Beaches. Both are named for their distinctively colored sand, and offer stunning views over the Aegean Sea.
Lastly, wind your tour down with an indulgent stop at a local winery.
Santorini has produced its own wine since ancient times, and sampling its varietals is the perfect way to get a taste of the island’s history. Note that bespoke itineraries and custom additions to the tour are also available. Your tour will conclude when your private driver drops you off at your accommodation, cruise ship port, airport, or any other preferred location.
This tour is available from March to November.

Great experience! Our guide was extremely nice and helpful! He took in all 14 of us (11 adults and 3 kids), gave us tips on where to go in Oia and took us straight back to the cable car in Fira. Would definitely choose this service again!

I enjoyed the optional tour (7 hours) in Santorini, where I visited as a port of call,. Theodore, my tour guide, was very kind. In a limited time, he took me to plenty of attractive places. I could not have done such an experience by myself. He had lots of knowledge and taught me about the history of Santorini. When I forgot my cell phone at the shop, he swiftly and expertly dealt with that. He was so nice that I felt sad to be leaving. I want to ask him for a guide again when I visit there next.

We had a private tour with a nice guide which lasted 7hrs. He took us to all parts of the island that we wanted to see. If you are not renting a car this is the best way to see all of the island. He gave us his recommendations of places to see but at the same time made sure that he prioritized the places we wanted to see first. He took so many pictures for us on so many different angles..its like were having our own photo shoot. Also since its a private tour you go on your own pace which is always a plus. A piece of advice..its better to start your tour early. That way you can get great pictures and it wont be too crowded.
