    What you'll see and do

    1. 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

    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

    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.

    Response from the operator: We are really glad that you enjoy your day with us. We hope you will visit us again!! Best regards ...

    Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.

    How much does Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $206 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 Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon )?

    +

    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 Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon )?

    +

    Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) 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 Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon )?

    +

    Included: Private driver-guide; Mineral Water (1 bottle per person); Transport by air-conditioned minivan; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Cable car tickets for cruise ship travelers (6.00 Euros per person, per ride); Entrance fees at museums and Akrotiri excavations(optional visits); and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Custom Tour : Santorini Half day 5 hours ( morning or afternoon ) include hotel pickup?

    +
