Santorini - private tour with Mike
We had the best day with Mike in Santorini. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to all the highlights of Santorini. If you get Mike as your guide, you hit the jackpot!
Response from the operator: Dear Kristin, Thank you very much for your 5-star review and for choosing Santorini Road Trips. Our local guide Mike is grateful for your support, and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us. Warm regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.

Wonderful day in Santorini
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mike in Santorini , Greece. From the very beginning, the service was professional, friendly, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. Mike arrived exactly on time, the vehicle was spotless and comfortable, and we immediately felt that we were in safe and capable hands. What really stood out was Mike’s knowledge of Santorini. He knew the best routes, beautiful viewpoints, hidden gems, and interesting places to visit. I have a broken ankle and he was mindful to point out potential hazards and the shortest way to reach our next vista with the least amount of walking possible. Beyond the excellent transportation, what made this experience special was the genuine hospitality. Mike was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly proud to share the beauty and history of Santorini with us.
Response from the operator: Dear Patty, Many thanks for your lovely 5-star review. Mike our local guide takes pride in what he does,and your recognition means a lot to Santorini Road Trips.We hope your memories from the trip stay with you for a long time,and we'd be honored to welcome you again someday. Best wishes, The Santorini Road Trips team

Highly recommend!
We had an amazing tour yesterday with Kostas! We had some ideas of where we wanted to visit, so together with Kostas’ knowledge we made our perfect itinerary. As a local he could tell us so many things about the island, and took us to some wonderful places. Kostas is such a friendly, fun person, and the passion he has for his island is lovely to listen to. Really recommend this tour if you want to get to know Santorini and go to places you would otherwise miss! Thank you so much Kostas for a brilliant day!
Response from the operator: Dear Rachel, We greatly appreciate your 5-star rating.Our local guide Kostass enjoyed showing you the highlights of Santorini. Thank you for choosing Santorini Road Trips. Best regards, The Santorini Road Trips team

Personalised land tour of Santorini
We had an amazing, fully customised, 6 hour tour of Santorini. Not only did we choose our own destinations to see but we also asked for recommendations of our tour guide, Kostas, for his local knowledge. Kostas was incredible and he really made our tour come to life. He was so knowledgeable, showed us really cool places we would never have thought to go ourselves and gave us insight into life in Santorini. He also knows the best photo spots! I would definitely recommend this type of trip. And if you can, ask for Kostas! What a superstar ⭐️
Response from the operator: Dear Steve, Seeing that you had a 5-Star experience is the best thing we could hope for.Your review means a lot to us,and our local guide Kostas will be more than happy and proud for his service towards you. We look forward to serving you for many years to come. Best regards, The Santorini Road Trips team

Best Santorini guide for the best island
Our guide, Thanos. was superb. He has a fantastic wealth of knowledge about Santorini and Greece. We went all over the island and experienced his own personal experience from growing up here. Our discussions were broad and deep, and gave us a great understanding of life here. We learned about Greek Orthodox history and traditions. We visited all the must see sites from north to south. He took us to his favorite local bakery where we had great food and some free treats. At the end of our tour our goodbyes were genuinely heartfelt. He is a safe driver, great host for Santorini and a good person. You cannot do better.
Response from the operator: Thank you kindly for your generous 5-star review. We are delighted to khow that your experience with Santorini Road Trips met your expectations. Thanos, as one of our most valued local guides,takes pride in providing memoroble experiences.We are looking forward to welcoming you again in the future. Warm regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.

Why this scores 95
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 $30 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 2,619 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 917 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 Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations, 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.
