Great experience in one day
The tour was great. Very convenient with our driver Nicolas and our tour guide Helena. We thoroughly enjoyed it. They very proud of their beautiful island. We saw all highlights of Santorini and other best kept secret spots in 7 hours. Well worth the money.

Great experience, great guy and a good price.
We spent an amazing day, Kostas tailored the tour for our needs and requirements perfectly. We had so much fun. We saw all the sights and all the coast, we had cocktails but more importantly Kostas was great at explaining the history and culture of the island and Greece. I would highly recommend him, great guy ,really interesting, friendly and helpful. Thanks Kostas.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review! 🙏 It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m delighted that I could tailor the experience to your interests and make it such a memorable one. For me, sharing the beauty, history and culture of Santorini and Greece is much more than just a job — it’s something I genuinely love. Meeting wonderful people like you and seeing them enjoy the island makes it even more special. I’m very happy we had so much fun together, and I truly appreciate your kind words about me and my service. It was an absolute pleasure having you as my guests. Thank you once again for your trust and recommendation. I sincerely hope our paths cross again someday — perhaps for another unforgettable day in Santorini! 🇬🇷❤️ Warmest regards, Kostas

A tour around Santorini
Our driver and guide was kind and patient and on time. He took us to all the sites we wanted to see and gave us information on all of them. Spoke perfect English. 6 hours is perfect to see all the main sites. The car was comfortable and clean. Seeing other sides of Santorini is a must.
Response from the operator: Dear sir thank you for your kind words and support. All the best Kostas Ioannidis

Wonderful tour of Santorini!
Our tour guide, Kostas notified in advance of the tour to remind us of pickup time and location. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and arrived on time. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, Kostas was engaging and kind. He took lovely pictures for us and found all the lovely views for us to see. Kostas was asked to leave us at our last stop, the black beach and told we would get a cab home. Kostas wouldn’t hear of it, dropping us off at the beach and speaking on our behalf to the beach “concierge”, getting us a lovely group of lounge chairs. Kostas arrived back on time, affording us over an additional hour, recommended a lovely bakery and stopped for us to get our sweets before taking us back to the hotel. It was a lively day with a kind and experienced tour guide - I highly recommend booking if you would like to see the best spots in Santorini!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour of Santorini and i help make it such a memorable experience. It’s always our goal to offer not only beautiful views and comfortable travel, but also a smooth and personalized experience—especially when time is limited. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Santorini someday for more unforgettable moments. Kind regards Kostas

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos cost?
+
Prices start at $257 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santorini usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santorini is not rushed.
Is 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santorini can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santorini and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6hr PRIVATE Santorini Tour, All Must-see Places plus photos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santorini within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santorini?
+
On Outty we rank every Santorini experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Premium Catamaran Cruise in Santorini including Oia, Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!, Private Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santorini?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santorini?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
