Disappointed
I was very excited about this photo package and not stressing about getting the “perfect vacation photo” on my own, however I was disappointed with the result. My photographer was nice and got us the famous shots in Santorini, however we still spent time waiting for photo spots and in a 30 minute session when half the time is spent standing and waiting that is not what I paid for. I understand it is not the photographers fault but I feel he should have offered us more locations at the end of the “30 minutes” to make up for the promised package. After getting the photos I was also disappointed because the photos chosen were not the best and had some random maintainence man in the back of several and he was not edited out. As well as the top of a few bald heads. They offer the option to buy all photos at an additional price but I felt I was entitled to more images without a fee. When I reached out to customer service I sent an email asking for a refund or access to the images but customer service has said “the team is reviewing my concerns and will get back to me”. Well it has been a week and there is still no decision made. I have used flytographer before and would probably pay the extra up front next time to guarantee a better experience was satisfied with.
Response from the operator: Katelyn, thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations, especially after you were looking forward to having a stress-free way to capture your vacation memories. We’re glad to hear that your photographer was kind and captured the iconic Santorini views, but we understand your frustration with the time spent waiting, the lack of additional locations, and the final photo selection. We’re also sorry about the concerns you noticed in the photos, including the people in the background and the missed editing opportunities. We completely understand your disappointment, especially regarding the additional gallery and the time you’ve had to wait for a response from our customer service team. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this has caused and appreciate you bringing all of these concerns to our attention.

Stay away, total scam
Terrible experience. We booked the photoshoot and after two weeks have not received our pictures. I have contacted the vendor multiple times and never received a response. They are a scam

We had such an amazing...
We had such an amazing experience with Nick in Oia! The photos came out absolutely BEAUTIFUL — we seriously love them so much. The quality is incredible, and it’s so clear how talented he is and how much attention he puts into every shot. From the very beginning, Nick made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He gave us great direction while still making everything feel natural and fun. He also knew all the best spots around Oia for photos, including the perfect angles and backdrops, which made both the pictures and the entire experience even more amazing. We make it a tradition to book a professional photoshoot on every trip we take, and these are honestly some of our favorite photos we’ve ever had taken. He captured Oia and our time in Santorini perfectly. The photos feel natural, beautiful, and timeless, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you’re looking for a photographer in Santorini, we HIGHLY recommend Nick. Not only will you get gorgeous photos, but you’ll also have such a fun and comfortable experience taking them. Thank you, Nick, for giving us such beautiful memories from Santorini that we’ll have forever! 🤍📸🇬🇷

It means so much to know that the quality, attention to detail, and natural feel of the photos made such a lasting impression. We’re especially happy that Nick helped you feel comfortable in front of the camera while keeping the session fun and effortless, and that his knowledge of Oia’s best spots, angles, and backdrops helped capture your time in Santorini so beautifully. 📸🇬🇷✨ Knowing that you make professional photoshoots part of every trip makes it even more special to hear that these are among your favorite photos you’ve ever had taken. We’ll be sure to share your incredibly kind words with Nick! We’re so happy we could help create memories you’ll treasure for years to come. We’d love to capture more of your special travel moments with our photoshoots in destinations around the world! 🌍📸

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini: Private Photography Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini: Private Photography Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 Photography Experience take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 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 Photography Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 34 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 Photography Experience?
+
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 Photography Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini: Private Photography Experience?
+
Around 12 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 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini: Private Photography Experience 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: Private Photography Experience?
+
Included: High quality photos (quantity depends on option chosen). Not included: Transport to and from activity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Santorini: Private Photography Experience?
+
Wait outside Osteria pizza pasta in Oia, and your photographer will come and collect you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Santorini: Private Photography Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and 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: Private Photography Experience?
+
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.
