About this activity

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.
