Wine and Santorini Tour
I highly recommend this woman owned tour company. The owners care deeply for their business and their customers. Their communication is excellent. They are honest and exuberant and take great pride in their island. Trust that they will work hard to make your visit memorable. We toured Santorini with them in May 2026 as a group of four in our mid 50s. The winery they chose for us was so unique and the wine was delicious. The guide, Panos, at Art Space winery was excellent; he has great energy and educated us in a fun and engaging way. Enjoy your island experience with Roula and Katerina! 🇬🇷💙
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful words and heartfelt recommendation! 💙🇬🇷 It truly means the world to us that you felt our love for Santorini and the care we put into every experience we create. Hosting wonderful guests like your group is exactly why we do what we do with so much passion and dedication. We are especially happy that you enjoyed the winery experience at Art Space Winery and that Panos made the visit both fun and memorable with his energy and storytelling. We always try to choose experiences that feel authentic, personal, and connected to the real spirit of the island. Thank you for trusting us during your time in Santorini and for supporting a women-owned local business. Your kindness, detailed feedback, and mention of the experience itself help future guests understand what we truly care about: genuine hospitality, meaningful moments, and unforgettable memories here on our island. We hope to welcome you back to Santorini again someday! Roula & Katerina Santorini Golden Tours

AMAZING!!!
Our private island and winery tour with Katerina & Roula was truly one of the highlights of our time in Santorini! We made so many memories that we’ll cherish forever. From the very beginning, they were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and communicative — we felt taken care of even before the tour started. When we met Katerina in person, it honestly felt like reconnecting with a friend we’d known for years, which made the entire experience so comfortable and enjoyable. We explored beautiful parts of the island, including hidden gems that many tourists would never think to visit. Of course we visited Oia, and Katerina even knew a hidden path that helped us avoid the massive crowds and long lines so we could get the perfect blue dome photos without waiting for hours! She also took photos of us throughout the entire day and sent them afterward, which made the experience even more special because now we have all of those memories captured forever. The winery stop was wonderful as well — delicious wines, light snacks, gorgeous views, and so many vineyards and grapes to see. Afterward, we visited several more charming villages before being dropped back at our hotel. What really stood out most was how much Katerina went above and beyond. Even after the tour, she continued texting us recommendations for the rest of our stay and reminded us to reach out if we needed absolutely anything during our time in Santorini. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat and cannot wait for the day we return to Santorini and see the girls again. Highly, highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review! We are truly honored that your private island and winery tour became one of the highlights of your time in Santorini. Creating personalized experiences that allow our guests to discover the island's hidden gems, authentic villages, local wine culture, and beautiful landscapes is exactly what we love to share. Your words about feeling welcomed and cared for from the very beginning mean so much to us. We believe that a great Santorini experience is about much more than sightseeing, it's about genuine connections, memorable moments, and helping guests experience the island in a relaxed and authentic way. We are especially happy that you enjoyed the winery visit, the quieter local spots, and those special photo opportunities around Oia. Knowing that you left with wonderful memories of Santorini is the greatest reward we could ask for. Thank you again for your trust, your recommendation, and your warmth throughout the day. We already look forward to welcoming you back to Santorini someday and sharing even more hidden gems, local experiences, and unforgettable moments together. Roula & Katerina Santorini Golden Tours

Exceptional Shore Excursion - Flexible, Professional, and Authentic!
The planning and communication with Roula and the tour with Katerina were exceptional. Even though we had to slightly change our plans due to unforeseen weather conditions, we had a great day! Our shore excursion was the highlight of our cruise. Katerina whisked us away from the crowds to the Prophet Elias Monastery for stunning 360-degree views, followed by a stroll through the charming streets of Megalochori. The day also included a spectacular lunch at a taverna. Sitting right on the beach was pure magic! We feasted on authentic local dishes—the tomatokeftedes (tomato fritters), fava, and grilled octopus were all outstanding and of course enjoying the delicious local wine! Katerina made sure we saw the best spots, ate the best food, and got us back to our ship exactly on time. If you are visiting Santorini on a cruise, do yourself a favour and book with this Golden Girl team! 🇬🇷✨
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Santorini Golden Tours with your cruise day… We’re truly happy we were able to adapt your experience despite the weather and still create such a memorable day for you. It means a lot that your shore excursion became a highlight of your cruise. From the views at Prophet Elias to the charm of Megalochori and your seaside lunch with local flavors, these are exactly the moments we love sharing with our guests. Ensuring a smooth, relaxed experience and getting you back to your ship on time is always a top priority for us. We would be delighted to welcome you back again in the future for more authentic Santorini experiences. Roula & Katerina Santorini Golden Tours

Gorgeous Scenery, Warm Hearts with Top Tier Service!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Booking Santorini Golden Tours was one of the best decisions we made on our trip! The whole day just felt easy, relaxed, and really special from start to finish. Roula and Katerina were amazing. They are fun, warm, and genuinely kind, and you can tell they truly love sharing their island with others. It never felt like a typical tour. It felt personal, like we were experiencing Santorini through their eyes. We saw some incredible places, including the red beach and the black beach, both completely different and equally beautiful. We also visited Megalochori and Pyrgos, including the monastery, and being there during Orthodox Easter made it deeply moving and something we will never forget. It was such a special moment to be part of. They also took us to Gavalas Winery, which was a highlight, and surprised us with a cake for our 20th wedding anniversary! That meant so much to us and made the day even more memorable. Along the way, we met some really wonderful locals who shared their love for Santorini, which added so much to the experience. Everything was handled so smoothly. They were quick to respond, flexible with plans, and made sure the day felt just right for us. By the end, it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. Such a special experience we will always remember. Do yourself a favor and book with the Golden Girls!!!
Response from the operator: Reading your words truly touched us… thank you so much for this beautiful message. From the very beginning, what matters most to us is exactly what you described not just creating a tour, but a day that feels easy, personal and genuinely meaningful. Sharing these days with you during Orthodox Easter made everything even more special for us. Being together for the Resurrection on Saturday night, sitting around the table and enjoying the traditional meal, and then spending Easter Sunday together with our family… these are moments we truly cherish. For us, this is what hospitality means opening our home, our traditions and our people, and making you feel part of it, even if just for a little while. We are so happy you experienced Santorini not only through its beautiful places, but through its spirit, its people, and that feeling of connection that stays with you long after the trip. Your anniversary made it even more meaningful for all of us. Celebrating such a special moment together is something we will always remember. Hearing that it felt like saying goodbye to friends is honestly the most beautiful feeling we could take from this experience. Thank you for your trust, your energy, and for allowing us to share something so real with you. We truly hope to welcome you again one day there will always be a place for you here in Santorini. With all our warmth, Roula & Katerina Santorini Golden Tours

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Highlights Private Tour with Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Highlights Private Tour with Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Private Tour with Wine Tasting 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 Highlights Private Tour with Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
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 Private Tour with Wine Tasting 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 Highlights Private Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
Around 2 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 Highlights Private Tour with Wine Tasting 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 Classic Santorini Panorama: Visit Top Destinations. 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.
