Great local and authentic tour
Elena is a fantastic local guide. We arrived late due to tender issues with our cruise ship. She stayed in contact with us the whole time and met us at the top of the funicular. Where we were short of time she amended the tour so we could see some of the highlights and then brought us to a local restaurant which was fantastic. Elana was professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you for making our limited time a memorable one. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Jeffrey, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful review of your recent experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our services. We are looking forward to see you again in Santorini!

A gem of a tour for a gem of an island!
From the booking to the drop off at the end of the tour, this was one of our best experiences in Greece. Dionysis was an amazing guide for us on this tour. Being local he was able to answer all of our questions and took us to such a variety of places on the island. Of course we saw all the sights we were familiar with but we also were able to visit some of the smaller villages. We had a lovely lunch and really enjoyed our time with him. Santorini is beautiful! Even a cloudy day couldn’t hide the beauty. This was a must do for us and we couldn’t recommend it more! Cozy Pickups was so easy to work with and we are so glad they were recommended to us by a friend.
Response from the operator: Dear Lindsay, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful review of your recent experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our services. We are looking forward to see you again in Santorini!

Highly recommended- 5/5!!!
I highly recommend it! The drivers and staff were extremely friendly and professional! They suggested the best destinations on the island since they know the island attractions better than anyone else. The drivers' politeness, respectfulness, and willingness for 24/7 pick-up make them exceptional for me! I also liked that the cars were spacious and comfortable while the music playlist added exotic vibes during rides around the island!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience with us!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $206 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's Highlights Tour Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 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's Highlights Tour Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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's Highlights Tour 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's Highlights Tour Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience?
+
Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini's Highlights Tour 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's Highlights Tour Experience?
+
Included: Experienced English-speaking driver/guide; Bottled water; Pick and drop off to the place of your choice; and Private transportation by air-conditioned, luxury vehicle. Not included: Food, beverages and meals; Tips and gratuities; and Cable car tickets (for cruise ship travellers). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 501 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience 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's Highlights Tour 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.
Is Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Santorini's Highlights Tour Experience 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.
