    I appreciate and highly recommend his service.

    Felipe was excellent guide—polite, professional, and incredibly helpful during both my pickup from the port and my drop-off at the airport. My ferry was delayed by about 45 minutes but Dimitri the driver patiently waited for me without any issues. For my departure, he ensured I reached the airport right on time, without having to wait around unnecessarily. I also wasn't aware that my hotel in Oia required navigating around 135 steps to reach it. Dimitri went out of his way to call the hotel and arrange a porter to help with my luggage, which made a huge difference. I truly appreciated his kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend GooSantorini services to anyone visiting Santorini.

    Best private tour with wine tasting in Santorini

    The private tour with wine tasting was fantastic. We loved our visit there in the morning, enjoying the fresh air as the sun shone through, seeing the most popular places of the island. The wine tasting was also sublime. We love the red beach that we visit. All have their own charms. Overall a day well spent.

    Best guide on Santorini

    Best guide on Santorini—in English, Greek, French, Spanish or Italian. If you want to see far more, beat the crowds, go to the famous and/or unknown secret sites with a master naturalist, historian and bests local guide veteran in Santorini, in a private new airconditioned minibus and endless icewater, whether you arrive by cruise, ferry, or plane, book a tour with GooSantorini Travel. They adjust the entire tour to your needs and wants. I’ve travelled to over fifty countries and am a top tour guide myself, and you can’t find a better person or tour guide than Sergio. Thanks! My expectations were high and you still exceeded them!! What an amazing day we had!

    Lifetime experience

    It was honestly a once in a lifetime experience. I would definitely recommend trying this particular tour, we were group of 8 adults and our guide 'Sergio' was very knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We were also fortunate enough to catch a beautiful sunset on the end, as well as capturing the picturesque scenery along the cliffside.

    Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $618 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 Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour 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 Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour?

    +

    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 Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour 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 Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour 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 Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Wine Tasting; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 373 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour?

    +

    Is Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Santorini Highlights and Wine Tasting Private Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
