Itinerary

Kamari Beach

Meet your private driver-guide at your Santorini hotel or Santorini cruise port, hop inside your air-conditioned vehicle and set off on your custom tour of the island. Your tour includes all transport, with all meals and entrance fees at your own expense. Before you head anywhere, chat to your friendly guide about the sights you want to see and visit during your tour. As your tour is private, the itinerary is completely flexible and can be customized to match your interests and preferences. Perhaps start with a visit to one of Santorini’s must-sees: the timeworn excavated ruins at Akrotiri. Here, stroll around the remnants of the Minoan Bronze Age settlement that was buried, and preserved by, volcanic ash as a result of a major eruption in the second millennium BC. You may also want to relax on one of Santorini’s black sand beaches or delve into its picture-postcard villages, such as Pyrgos and Oia — the latter known for its spectacular sunsets. Then, maybe finish with a visit to a traditional winery to taste or purchase (own expense) some of Santorini’s fresh and distinctive wines. The island's winemaking history stretches back more than 4,000 years and its varietals are renowned for their crispness and high acidity. Alternatively, ask your guide for their inside take on what to see and do, and perhaps discover some of the experiences and places that other visitors never get to witness. See the Itinerary for examples of the different activities and attractions you can enjoy during your tour.

Incredible Private and Custom Tour of Santorini with Leonidas

Published on Sep, 2024

We had the most enjoyable day sightseeing with our professional and fun Driver Leonidas. We customized our Tour to avoid Oia and instead went to Profitis Hlias Imerovigli for the highest vantage views, Monastery Fira, Red Beach, Akrotiri Archaeological Museum, Faros products Akrotiri for lunch, Perissa black sand beach culminating with the magnificent 3 Bells Firostefani. We paid 50 euros to extend our Tour to 6 hours. I highly recommend this Tour with Leonidas. The vehicle was an ultra comfortable van and Driver Leonidas very experienced and kind. Not worth hiring a vehicle with such an amazing Tour.

Exploring Santorini with Poulus

Published on Oct, 2019

Poulus is a great guide and driver for the private custom tour we had as a family of 5 adults and 2 kids. The tour was supposed to start at 9:00 am but since we arrived in Santorini at 8 am, he graciously was very flexible with time and picked us up at the airport at 8:30 am. Since we didn't know what to visit in the span of 5 hours in Santorini, he made recommendations and asked us which areas we wanted to see and if it was feasible for the span of time we had him with us. He recommended we start at Oia, since it's an area where tourists flock to from the cruise ships, so going there in the morning was a better choice since it gets too crowded in the middle of the day. His knowledge of Santorini is superb since he grew up in the area. For him learning English just for the last 4 years is admirable, he can express himself well and answered our questions with ease. He showed us a lot in Santorini, even extending it a bit to compensate for our lunch. He took us to see a lot of places in the span of 5 hours, from Oia, to the chapel of Nektarios, to Megalochori, then to the lighthouse, red beach, black beach and finally to Fira where we watched the sunset and took the bus to the airport through his recommendation. Per person the fare in the bus is 1.50 Euro. It was a fantastic 5 hour tour. I recommend his services. I like his philosophy, "my time, my rule." When we were trying to say we have to make our time worthwhile and skip lunch but he graciously had us go to lunch and even had the kids go swim and try the black beach while waiting for our food for lunch. he continues to say, "enjoy your stay in Santorini, don't worry about time." He is a superb host and driver.
