The Ultimate Custom Highlights Tour of Santorini
If you want a truly personalized and stress-free way to experience the magic of Santorini, booking a highlights tour with Kostas is an absolute must. From the very start, Kostas tailored the entire day entirely to us. Instead of a rigid schedule, he gave us the freedom to build our own itinerary based on our specific interests, energy levels, and what we had already explored on the island. His local expertise is unmatched, particularly when it comes to beating the crowds. While Oia was beginning to swell with morning tourists, Kostas expertly navigated us to breathtaking viewpoints without ever having to wait in the exhausting, infamous lines for that classic Instagram photo. He is also a master of efficiency. To maximize our sightseeing time, Kostas gave us all the historical context, introductions, and background information while we were comfortably in the car. That way, the moment we stepped out, we could dive straight into exploring and covering as much ground as we desired. Engaging, deeply knowledgeable, and wonderfully personable, Kostas was the perfect guide to introduce us to the soul of Santorini. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Santorini- The prettiest Greek Island
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Santorini Road Trips – Ask for Thanos! One of the Best Tours in 20 Years of Traveling! My wife and I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively over the past 20 years, experiencing countless tours and excursions around the world. I can say without hesitation that our private tour of Santorini with Santorini Road Trips was one of the absolute best experiences we have ever had! Our group of eight booked an 8-hour private customized tour, and we had the pleasure of spending the day with Thanos, who was simply outstanding! What made this experience so special wasn’t just the incredible beauty of Santorini. It was the extraordinary effort Thanos put into making sure every moment of our day was memorable. He didn’t simply drive us from attraction to attraction. He genuinely cared about our experience. At every stop, he went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. Whenever we stopped at a restaurant or somewhere to enjoy the scenery, Thanos would personally go inside ahead of us to arrange a great table and make sure everything was just right. And the photo opportunities were unbelievable! Thanos knew exactly where to take us for those breathtaking, postcard-worthy views of Santorini. From the iconic blue-domed churches and beautiful villages to the dramatic coastline and spectacular overlooks, he made sure we saw the island at its very best. His knowledge of the island, attention to detail, warm personality, and incredible work ethic were second to none. He made our group feel like friends rather than customers. In more than 20 years of traveling, Thanos is genuinely one of the nicest, most hardworking, and most accommodating tour guides I have ever encountered. I also want to give special recognition to Santorini Road Trips, the local company behind this fantastic experience. They clearly understand what exceptional customer service should look like. If you’re planning a visit to Santorini, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Book directly with Santorini Road Trips and ask for Thanos! You can also find their tours listed on Viator if you prefer booking through that platform, but I personally encourage travelers to contact the company directly. Supporting the local tour operator is a great way to make sure more of your money stays with the people actually providing these wonderful experiences. Our tour was an absolute highlight of our Mediterranean vacation, and I would book with Santorini Road Trips again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Thanos, and the entire Santorini Road Trips team, for an unforgettable day! Five stars simply aren’t enough. If I could give you ten, I would!

Great Tour of Santorini with Thanos
We had a great day in Santorini thanks to our amazing guide Thanos. He was so proud of his island and the local culture. Even though the best picture spots were busy, he got us by the crowds to make incredible memories. The knowledge of the local history and culture would not have been as authentic with a mainland guide.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2,905 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Santorini, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!?
+
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 Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!?
+
Around 1,017 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! 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 Tailor-Made Santorini Land Tour with a Local Driver, Santorini Wine Stories: Sunset Tour with Tasting & Dinner. 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 Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest!?

Does Private Santorini Tailor Made - Choice of the Guest! include hotel pickup?
+
