Treated like family!
We were treated like family by George! George met us by the Santorini lift exit and proceeded to take us a couple viewpoints in Santorini on our way to Oia (where we booked a photo shoot which was an additional tour/amount). He was very accommodating and took pictures whenever we asked. Afterwards he took us to coffee shop since we were hungry, then to black beach since we wanted to go swimming and lastly to the monastery in which it had the highest point. Sadly our the was up but during our trip he provided interesting facts and history about the beautiful island. Don’t hesitate it’s really worth it!
Response from the operator: Dear Ed, Thanks a lot for your kind words,and for sharing your 5-star review with the rest of our community.George your local guide will be happy to hear that his hard work has paid off!At Santorini Road Trips,the whole team works hard to keep our customers happy, but we can only do it thanks to amazing customers like you.Thaks again ,and we hope to serve you again soon. Sincerely, The Santorini Road Trips team

Vacation visit to Santorini
We met with Marios who picked us up at our hotel. We drove around and explored the island of Santorini. We stopped for pictures in Oia. Beautiful area! Marios provided us with a lot of history and information. We asked a lot of questions and he answered them all. We stopped for lunch at Fish Taverna Perivolos and I had the grilled Octopus which was fantastic! We had a great time and enjoyed the tour! Marios is an excellent guide!! Thank you!
Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you so much for the awesome review and the time to share your feedback.We work hard to meet expectations like yours,and we're happy to hear Marios your local guide hit the mark for you.We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to him.We can't wait to welcome you back on your next visit. Best wishes, The Santorini Road Trips team

Magical
Fantastic, wonderful time. Our guide, Marios, is a native of Santorini. He knew how to avoid the crowds and took us to some amazing places. Marios gave us an insider’s tour of his beautiful home town of Megalochori. We loved walking through the beautiful twisting streets and seeing a hidden cave home. He took us to the Black Beach for a relaxing lunch on the water. Then we toured a small local church nestled on one of Santorini’s vistas. Next we discovered the only Red Beach in the world. Besides being incredibly beautiful, we were serenaded by a violinist playing to the gods. Marios shared lots of history about the island and its inhabitants. He was such a lovely kind man. It was a special honor to spend the day with him. Later that night he sent me several of his mother’s family recipes.
Response from the operator: Dear Cathy, Thank you for the 5-Star review.Thank you for choosing us and allowing to create lasting memories for you and your group.We greatly appreciate your kind words towards your local guide Marios and hoping to have the pleasure to serving you again in the future. Kind regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island! cost?
+
Prices start at $296 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 like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island! 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 like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island!?
+
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 like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island! 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 like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island!?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini like a local: Discover local flavors by exploring the island! 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.
