Great Santorini island tour and wine tasting
A private tour is a perfect way to do it how you want. Our guide was brilliant (sorry my recollection of Greek names is poor! And my attempt at spelling worse!!) he treated us with a snack from the bakery and then whisked us off to Oia to beat the crowds and high heat. All the way and throughout the day he provided just about every fact you could dream of covering the history and geography of Santorini, a bit of geology and a good dose of jokes and humour. I could go on, but not into essays.. needless to say and absolutely worthwhile experience made by our guide. Thank you! Oh, forgot to mention but have to add we included a trip to a winery in our tour. We visited the Gavalas winery… a gem, small family multi-generational business. Fantastic wines, a must visit!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Santorini in the future. Best regards, Amani

Excellent family tour of Santorini customized to our family’s requests
We had an amazing family tour of Santorini with Armani who has lived on Santorini for about 30 years. She adjusted the schedule and order of events to accommodate our plans for the day and was very kind and pleasant and incredibly knowledgeable about Santorini and Greek life and culture. She took us to a beautiful place for lunch and a winery as well as her own village and the village of Oia. We had a wonderful day with her as our tour guide.
Response from the operator: It was our pleasure to have you on one of our tours. We hope to see you again next time on a longer stay.

Unforgettable Private Tour of Traditional Santorini – Stunning Views, Charming Villages, and Excellent Wine
Our private tour of traditional Santorini was an absolutely amazing experience that gave us a deeper appreciation for the island’s unique beauty, culture, and history. From start to finish, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and amusing — he made the day both fun and insightful, ensuring we saw all the most interesting and scenic parts of the island. We visited the striking Red Beach and Black Beach, both breathtaking in their own way and unlike anything we'd seen before. We also explored several small, picturesque villages, each with its own charm, stunning architecture, and tranquil atmosphere. Along the way, we learned about the building rules and traditions that give Santorini its iconic look — whitewashed walls, blue domes, and narrow stone paths. A highlight of the tour was the wine tasting, where we sampled local wines unique to Santorini’s volcanic soil. The winery offered beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere, and the wines (especially the Assyrtiko) were delicious. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch featuring fresh, local ingredients and classic Greek flavors. This tour was the perfect blend of sightseeing, culture, and relaxation, and thanks to our fantastic guide, we felt like we experienced the real heart of Santorini. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to go beyond the postcard views and connect with the island’s rich traditions!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you had an absolutely amazing experience on our private tour of traditional Santorini. It's truly wonderful to know that our guide contributed to making your day both fun and insightful, and that you enjoyed exploring the island's unique beauty, culture, and history. Your kind words affirm our commitment to providing memorable experiences that go beyond the usual postcard views, allowing our guests to connect with the real heart of Santorini. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation!

See the island
Do not miss the opportunity to start your adventure on Santorini with this tour and company. You will be especially please if Amani is your guide. The information and tour is enhanced by her knowledge and sharing of history to understand the importance and beauty of Santorini. It is more than Oia !! You see the entire island and will assist you to go back and see more. The personalized tour we received to meet our needs and wants to see the entire island. Again, do not miss the opportunity to explore with her and this tour company.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the positive feedback! It’s a joy to share the beauty and history of Santorini, and I’m glad I could enhance your adventure.

Beautiful Santorini in a day.
Amani was amazing. Her English is fantastic and easy to understand. She is extremely knowledgeable about her beautiful island. She met us at the cable car early so we could beat the crowd to Oia. We had free time to take pictures, shop and enjoy the views. She then took us to many picturesque places and took pictures of us we will treasure forever. We had a wine tasting at a small vineyard that was so good. We then enjoyed traditional, local cuisine at a restaurant with a view of the entire island and caldera. I would recommend this tour and guide for your next trip to Santorini, Greece.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tour and enjoyed exploring Santorini. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I'm delighted you have beautiful memories to cherish. If you ever plan to visit again, I'd happily assist you with anything you need.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Private Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day cost?
+
Prices start at $372 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 Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day 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 Private Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 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 Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day?
+
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 Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day 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 Private Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day?
+
Around 14 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 Private Guided Tour of Traditional Santorini with wine tasting- Full Day 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.
