Santorini is incredible
Our guide was Lefteris. A wonderful, knowledgeable and calm man. He was patient and very kind, especially to our young 9-month old daughter. Thank you for showing us around a beautiful island!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the 5-star review! It’s wonderful to know that you felt well taken care of during your time here. We pride ourselves on providing a patient and informative experience for everyone, including our youngest guests. Best wishes to you and your family!

Spend the Day with a Local Tour
We had an amazing day in Santorini on our tour with Lefteris! We started our day in Oia and loved the history "Lefty" shared with us as we toured around his beautiful island. He is a total professional and a kind man who quickly became our friend. We told him we were having trouble finding tender grilled octopus in Greece, and he took us to an amazing local restaurant on the beach where the food was outstanding! He answered our many questions patiently and spoke very highly of his employer and how much he loves his job. We were nearly back to our villa when we realized one of phones had been left behind at our last stop. He turned around, and called the winery to help locate the phone. I can't wait to return to Santorini and will absolutely use SantoTours again. Thank you to Lefty for a fantastic day!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €550 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: Local Life Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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: Local Life Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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: Local Life Full Day 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: Local Life Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini: Local Life Full Day 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini: Local Life Full Day 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: Local Life Full Day Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; Wine tasting; and Driver/guide. Not included: Food and drinks; Lunch or dinner(about 20-25 euros per person); and Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 498 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. 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: Local Life Full Day Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Santorini. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Santorini: Local Life Full Day Tour?

Across 12 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
