Great way to see the island
Having your own car to see the spots is a great way to get around, the island island is so accessible that you can see almost everything in one tour!

Santorini Tour
We did a private tour with Elizabet who was amazing. We met her at the top once we took the cable car up to the mountain. The sites of white houses and blue domes was beautiful. We saw the red sand and black sand beaches. Learned about the significance of household doors to grapes and olive trees. the weather was amazing. The ONLY CAUTION I offer is that we purchased jewelry from PONIROS and BUYER BEWARE. Once we returned to the states and had it appraised the value was significantly lower. When we called the jeweler they say but you agreed to pay the price. Our view is that we trusted the jeweler was telling us the truth and validated it with his written appraisal. Long story short we are making an exchange in NY City for a new piece that they are having shipped in. Regardless, I am sure we will still be taking a bath on the purchase. That is the only bad feeling I have when I think of Santorini with is so unfortunate.

Beautiful Day!
We decided to do the Santorini Private tour while on our cruise instead of the cruise excursions. I am so glad we did. Joanne was a wonderful tour guide. She was very attentive to my sister-in-laws physical challenges and was very patient. She showed us many of the sites and took us away from all the crowds. We enjoyed a very peaceful lunch on the black sand beach. She also showed us how to pair and taste wines. Then we enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. Definitely an end to a beautiful day

Extremely Knowledgeable !
What you have to remember is that Santorini is the Island and the town you see all the pictures is Thera above the harbor. When you get a tour it is of the entire island. Our guide had a PhD in Greek History and never ran out of things to say about every square inch of it.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Private Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Private Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $260 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 Highlights Tour 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 Private Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Private Highlights 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 Private Highlights Tour 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 Private Highlights 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Private Highlights 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.
