What a great experience!
We had an amazing time on this tour. It was just my me and my wife, and Chryssi and Manolis made it an unforgettable experience. They tailored the experience to meet our needs. Chryssi acted as our personal photographer as we visited all of the sites, and she captured some amazing photos for us. The van was large and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this tour, and when we return, we'll be using them again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Chryssi and Manolis helped make your day in Santorini such a memorable one. We always strive to create personalized experiences, especially for our cruise guests who have limited time on the island, so it's wonderful to know your visit was everything you hoped for. We're also delighted that you loved the photos and enjoyed traveling in comfort throughout the tour. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Santorini in the future—perhaps for a longer stay next time! Warm regards, The MD Group Santorini Team

Full Service Transportation in Santorini
I originally scheduled an airport transfer through Tripadvisor with MD Group Transfers and Tours for our extended family of 7. I discovered that they also arranged tours so I reached out directly on their website after receiving my confirmation. To our delight, we received an immediate response from Chryssi, who went on to arrange a 3 hour tour of the island, a wine tasting at a local vineyard, multiple transfers to restaurants and a return transfer to our ferry. We were in the best hands, brought to the best locations for photos, Chryssi even booked restaurant reservations for us!!! We had our own personal travel advisor in Santorini and we felt spoiled and well taken care of. Do not hesitate to book with Chryssi and the team at MD Group Transfers and Tours. (We also were gifted some beer wine which we all enjoyed on our last night.)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing MD Group Transfers & Tours during your stay in Santorini! It was truly a pleasure taking care of your family throughout your holiday. Knowing that everything—from your airport transfers and private tour to the wine tasting, restaurant reservations, and transportation around the island—helped make your trip stress-free and memorable means so much to our team. Your kind words about feeling well looked after are the greatest compliment we could receive. We always strive to offer more than just transportation by helping our guests experience the very best of Santorini with personalized service and local recommendations. Thank you again for your trust and for taking the time to recommend us to other travelers. Reviews like yours mean a great deal to a small local business and motivate us to keep doing what we love every day. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Santorini in the future for another unforgettable experience! The team of Md Group Transfers & Tours Santorini

Best private tour of Santorini!
Excellent tour! We would definitely recommend this company and book again in the future. They communicated very well before with my questions and our driver, Manolis was excellent. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to accommodate our specific requests on how we wanted to spend the day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Stephanie, for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to welcome you to Santorini during your cruise stop and help you make the most of your day on the island. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your private Santorini tour and that Manolis made your experience even more special. He will be very happy to read your kind words.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Private Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini Private Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting 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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting?
+
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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting 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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting?
+
Around 9 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 Sightseeing Tour with Optional Wine Tasting 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.
