What you'll see and do
Imerovigli
Since the time of Byzantium, Imerovigli, one of the most impressive villages of Santorini, has stood on the highest point of the caldera. It is believed that the early settlement of Skaros was built in 1207 by the Venetian James Varotsi, who was granted Santorini after the conquest of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204. The modern village towers over an impressive volcano about 300 meters above sea level. It is about 3 km northwest of Fira on the road to Oia. In addition to the paved road, the village is connected to the capital of Santorini by a path offering endless views of the unique volcanic landscape. Since Imerovigli is a preserved traditional settlement, the architectural style of the buildings remains unchanged. The buildings are mainly Cycladic and mainly local Fira. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops visited by tens of thousands worldwide annually.

Argyros Assyrtiko is a "quiet" power between ASSYRTIKO, the island, with excellent balance and an impressive and delightful acidity-like aftertaste that will not go away. Many outstanding awards and recognitions abroad promised a miraculous way to try to exacerbate the extroversion of the estate.

Its philosophy is based on wines with purity, primary varietal characteristics, and balance that reflect the connection with the anhydrous soil of Santorini, the majesty of the land, the volcano, the sun, the sea breeze, the Cycladic air – the intense personality of this unique PDO land.

A Wine Tour Worth Remembering 🍷
This private wine tour was one of the most enjoyable parts of the Santorini trip. Visiting three different wineries gave the day a nice variety, with excellent wines, generous snacks, and beautiful settings along the way. Elias was knowledgeable about both the local wines and the island, and everything felt relaxed rather than rushed. The final winery was especially memorable, with an incredible sunset that made the experience feel even more special. The price was on the higher side, but the quality, food, wine, and overall experience made it feel well worth it.
Response from the operator: Dear Allan, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a great time exploring Santorini with Ilias. It’s fantastic that the tour struck the right balance between your preferences and his local insight. The wine tasting sounds like a lovely way to end the day - and we're happy the whole family could enjoy it. We hope to welcome you back soon for more island discoveries!

Unforgettable Private Tour with Themis in Santorini.
The experience of the private tour in Santorini with Top Santorini Tours was simply amazing. Along with the well-known popular spots, we were also shown some lesser-known, hidden beauties, which made the whole day even more special for us. Our guide Themis was very sincere and humble. Throughout the tour, she provided a lot of information about Santorini, and went out of her way to help us capture beautiful moments of our family at each place — which will be priceless memories for us. The extra care and compassion she showed to my mother while climbing the steep and high stairs was truly touching. Her warm hospitality, deep knowledge, and meticulous attention to detail made the entire tour seamless and meaningful. I highly recommend this private tour service to anyone who wants to experience Santorini in its truest form, in a relaxed and premium way.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your incredible 5✨ review! We’re so happy to have created such a memorable private Santorini driver tour; combining scenery, local flavors, and relaxed timing is exactly what makes Santorini unforgettable—wishing you the best in all your future endeavors and travels!

Great Experience
About 3 hours total - the wineries are very close to each other so not much travel time involved. Opportunities to purchase wine after each tasting but no pressure either. Our driver Nicholas was a local who was proud to share the history of Santorini as we traveled.
Response from the operator: Dear Amy, You are the best! Thank you for the lovely feedback! We're so glad you had a fun and memorable day exploring Santorini with Nickolas. It means a lot to hear that the whole team made your experience smooth and enjoyable. Looking forward to welcoming you again!

Exceptional Family Support.
After being scammed by another company, we were extremely stressed, especially while traveling with a child. That’s when truly came to our rescue like a blessing. We booked the package, and from the beginning their team was incredibly professional, flexible, and supportive. Our guide George especially made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. Even without an airport kiosk, they arranged vehicle pickup directly from the airport, which helped us a lot. What impressed us most was their support during a difficult situation involving a possible missed flight — they stayed in contact the entire time and continued helping us without hesitation. The quality of service was outstanding, and the pricing was far more reasonable compared to many other providers. For families looking for reliable and genuinely caring service in Santorini, I highly recommend them.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a great time exploring Santorini with George. It’s fantastic that the tour struck the right balance between your preferences and his local insight. The wine tasting sounds like a lovely way to end the day - and we're happy the whole family could enjoy it. We hope to welcome you back for more island discoveries soon!

Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup 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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup 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 16 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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup?
+
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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup 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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup?
+
Around 6 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 Santorini Half Day Wine Tasting & Winery Tour with Pickup 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.
