About this experience
The small group size means your guide can offer more personalized guide services. So don't linger; ask your questions, and you will help the guide adjust your comments to the interest of the group on Board this day; each group is different! Another advantage of a small group tour is that you can go where big bus tours can't, and wherever possible, the minibus will go down a country road to reveal some hidden gem. Tours only stop at the places you paid to visit during the tour, with no stops at gift shops or restaurants in the middle of nowhere. - Specially built minibusses have large windows, good air circulation, and transparent PA systems. - Your local guide can comfortably accompany you around our wonderful island and hidden precious countryside. - Despite the small numbers, a minimum of two people is required, as we guarantee a tour if available. - Small-group tour up to 12-15 people. - Touring in our brand new Mercedes Sprinters

Head to Prophet Elijah Mountain and admire the most breathtaking view from the island's highest peak. You will enjoy a fantastic view of the entire island from this point. The name of the Mountain is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Ilias), coming from the Monastery of the same name on the summit, built-in 1711. In this stunning and peaceful environment, you can taste wine and local products from the monks.

Monolithos Beach
Monоlithos is on the east coast of the island, 2 km north of Kamari, and has the finest sand you will ever find on Santorini. It can hardly be called a village, but there are a few hotels and taverns in the area. The beach is long with dark sand and some trees growing directly on the sand. Part of it is organized with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. It is suitable for children as the water is shallow around the shore. You will also find a playground and changing cabins on the beach.

Well worth the time.
What a fantastic trip. Gregory is really knowledgeable about the island and reels off dates and names with practiced ease. The walking was not strenuous at all and all the sights are well worth the time. I thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone. A plus and a huge thank you to Gregory.
Response from the operator: Thank you. You are the best!!!

Best tour with a very friendly tour-guide.

Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for the great review.

Didn’t happen
It never happened. By the time the your communicated with us it was too late. We tried calling and messaging the day before. Viator tried to reach out but no communication.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, Please delete the review and we will proceed with the full refund.

Beautiful Island we didn’t get the best of unfortunately
Dimitri was our guide didn’t present himself as guide. Stopped at famous blu dome church I’ll take your photo he said discover later didn’t even get the dome in frame. Later walking along missed showing us other highly photographed sites. Didn’t get to the monastery as he said wouldn’t see anything even though we asked several times. Also didn’t get to black beach as he said we didn’t have time even though we arrived back at drop off point before the 5 hours were up. Both of these were included in our itinerary.

Good way to explore Santorini
The views from Santorini were beautiful even though it was VERY BUSY in Oia. We enjoyed the wine tasting.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for the review.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Highlights Small-Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Highlights Small-Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $117 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 Small-Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.8 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 Small-Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 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 Small-Group 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 Small-Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Highlights Small-Group Tour?
+
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 4.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Highlights Small-Group 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 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.
