Amazing Santorini Tour — Maria & Vaggelis Were Fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic experience with Marinakis Tours! Our private 4-hour Santorini tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Maria was an amazing guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to all the perfect spots, including Fira, Firostefani, Oia, Kamari’s black-sand beach, and Pyrgos. She also took some great pictures of us along the way. Vaggelis was our driver and truly saved the day when he noticed my wife had left her phone in the van. He contacted us right away and met her to return it. Incredible service! Highly recommend Marinakis Tours, especially if you’re visiting Santorini on a cruise. Worth every penny!

Wonderful tour guide. Very professional
She has very professional knowledge and always ready for our questions and wanted to take many places as much as we can.perfect English speaking also suggested us many places to see of which we couldn’t make in 4 hours. Not only places to see but recommended a couple of places for dinner and shopping. We had wonderful time and experience. 彼女は精力的にしかも我々のペースを気にしながら丁寧に案内してくれました。もしサントリーニ島で観光ガイドが必要であれば、この人をお勧め致します。
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and for trusting us to help you discover our beautiful island ! Nikolaos Marinakis

Experience the best of Santorini
Amazing! Nick greeted us with a warm smile, and was friendly and knowledgeable. He has over 36 years experience of living in Santorini so he knew all the history and best kept secrets of the island. We didn’t feel comfortable driving the island so the money to tour the entire island with Nick was well worth it. We got some some interesting historical facts, and beautiful pictures. He was patient, warm, and kind. If you have limited time and want to see the best spots on the island, his personal tour is a lifesaver!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for what you said about me what you wrote l hope you will come again Santorinil will make it again nice tour Nikolaos Marinakis..

Tour with Nik
Getting to santorini was a stressful experience from the cruise ship, all off our stress was was relieved from Nik our tour guide. He was extremely kind and gracious. He made me feel like my Greek uncle was giving me a tour of the island. Took us to great spots for pictures and gave us a lot of neat facts about santorini. I would not have enjoyed santorini without nik. He knew the exact spots to take us in the short time we had because of mistakes our cruise line made. Will return to santorini, and definitely use Nik again!

We loved the trip
We were on a a cruise and did an Excursion at Santorini with Marinakis Tours. We were a large group of friends, we had 3 buses and we Nikos the owner did not have to but he accompanied our group. Yes it was a hot day and lots to walk, but people who wanted to enjoy did have a great time and appreciated the excursion. I would recommend Nikos and Marinakis Tours to anyone if you want to have an excursion for a small group or a large group. Wine and flowers was a nice touch from Nikos. Diana and Maxie - June 2023

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 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 Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour)?
+
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 Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour)?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) 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.
What is included in Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour)?
+
Included: Private Tour Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour) offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Santorini with us (4 hour private tour)?
+
