A wealth of artefacts, images and representations will take the visitor on an amazing journey through the history of winemaking in Santorini.

Imerovigli
At about 300 meters above sea level, Imerovigli is very often referred to as the "balcony of the Aegean" and it definitely lives up to this name by offering a most spectacular view of the Aegean sunset.

Santorini with kids
We visited Santorini on a cruise ship, on a hot busy July port day (4 ships in), with two kids aged 9 and 7. Our guide Joanna was amazing, super knowledgable and great with the kids, the vehicle was a luxury van and the driver navigated the chaotic traffic well. The tour was customised to what we wanted to see, and Joanna helped us skip the crowds and queues in many locations. She also included several less known stops that felt more authentic, while also providing fantastic views and memories (along with obligatory ice cream when you're travelling with kids!). Highly recommend this tour and our guide Joanna.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent review to us and we are very happy that you enjoy it. We hope to see you again. Best regards

Excellent customised tours
Professional outstanding service. The owner is easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and very responsive. They are flexible with timings if you want to stay longer /shorter in a location, they offer good advice about destinations and about places to visit. Drivers are all friendly, safe and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company. A very personalised service.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent review to us and we are very happy that you enjoy it. We hope to see you again. Best regards

Sara is fine, but the...
Sara is fine, but the shop she takes us to is more expensive than the other shop that I purchased. She may need to aware of this. The price is almost double high.
Response from the operator: Hello My name is Stelio’s and I am the manager of the office. I don’t know why you did that review to us about the shop and I am really sorry about for something that you buy from somewhere in the island. I will really appreciate if you make a review about our service on the tour that we provide to you and if you enjoy it so we can make our products better and of course our customers happy. I really don’t know what was that make you an unhappy and really you have to know that all the guides are only recommended some shops but we don’t push no one to buy something because our job it is only to provide the best service only on the subject that we do on the tours. Best regards Stelio’s

The best time in Santorini
Antonia and Electra were two fabulous tour guides. Electra was really knowledgeable and took the time to show us all around santorini. She was really accomodating, made us feel safe and showed us all the beautiful places on the Island. It is really reassuring knowing we were in safe hands, were able to see all the places we wanted to see and more. I would highly reccomend this tour. I wish Electra all the best and thank her for making our visit to Santorini one we will never forget. Much Love Sarah and CC

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 294 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 Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line?
+
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 Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line?
+
Around 103 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Private Custom Tours 3 - 7 Hours-Skip The Line 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.
