Expert Tour!
I cannot say enough about Aphrodite and Santoriginal Tours. From the outset, she was a wealth of help and knowledge. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and helped us plan this bucket list trip I desired. I had no worries we would be taken care of upon arrival. She met us with a smile, and we were off. She expertly navigated the island and took us where we wanted to go, and we also trusted her recommendations. We enjoyed getting to know her and the island. We left with wonderful memories and felt like we had made a friend as well. Thank you Aphrodite!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful 5✨ review! We're truly touched that Aphrodite's help with planning and her warm welcome made your bucket-list private tour in Santorini feel easy from the very beginning. Knowing that you left with beautiful memories and felt you had made a friend is one of the loveliest compliments we could receive. Wishing you safe journeys until our paths cross again. 💙 — The Santoriginal Tours Team

Spectacular - Private Tour with Aphrodite
Our private tour with Aphrodite was absolutely amazing, and a highlight of our trip to Greece. We would highly recommend her. She was extremely knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and just a wonderful person to be around. She structured the day perfectly, so we saw everything we wanted to see, without ever feeling rushed. She made the day feel magical. She also took the best pictures, especially in Oia, where she maneuvered our way through the crowds to take great pictures. We felt like her friend by the end of the day. We can't say enough about Aphrodite, she was beyond spectacular and felt lucky to have spent the day with her.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful 5✨ review! We're truly touched that your private Santorini tour with Aphrodite became one of the highlights of your trip to Greece. Hearing that she felt like a friend by the end of the day is especially meaningful to us. Wishing you safe journeys until our paths cross again. 💙

Best 65th Birthday ever on Private Tour with Aphrodite!
We knew we had limited time in Santorini on our cruise stop so we booked a private tour on my twin and I's 65th birthday. Our guide and driver was Aphrodite and she was beyond amazing. Cruise ship docking can be complicated in Santorini and Aphrodite reached out several days prior to confirm all the details. She met us right where the tenders dropped us off at the port and from the moment we met her we knew we were in for an incredible day. She had figured out the best route to avoid the crowds and was so knowledgeable about the area. She had a fun personality and we felt like a friend was showing us around. We were stressed about the cable car after reading so much about the long lines. Aphrodite knew all the cruise ship schedules in port that day and dropped us off at the perfect time and we walked right onto the cable car no lines! Definitely would recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful 5✨ review! We’re honored that Aphrodite helped make your twin 65th birthday and private tour in Santorini such a special part of your cruise. Careful planning around the tender, crowds, cable car, and ship schedules is especially important on a cruise day, and we’re so happy your private shore tour felt smooth from arrival to return. Wishing you safe journeys until our paths cross again. 💙 — The Santoriginal Tours Team

The only and best way to really see the beautiful island of Santorini!
From initial contact with Aphrodite, to our tour with Nikolas, the entire experience went seamlessly well! We didn’t know what to expect. Aphrodite was warm and suggested we do a minimum of four hours which turned out to be the perfect option. Nikolas greeted us as a stranger and we left feeling like we made a good friend. His vibrant personality and deep knowledge of Santorini was truly evident from the start. Nikolas treated us like family and the entire experience was meaningful and a total pleasure! Do not hesitate, I don’t believe you will find anyone finer to take you around Santorini and make you feel so appreciated!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful 5✨ review! We’re so happy that from your first contact with Aphrodite to your Santorini private tour with Nikolas, the whole experience felt seamless and personal. Hearing that Nikolas made you feel more like friends than guests, while sharing his knowledge and love for the island, is especially meaningful to us. Wishing you safe journeys until our paths cross again. 💙 — The Santoriginal Tours Team

Santorini your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Santorini your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $155 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private Tour?
+
Around 5 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 your Way - Fully Customized Private 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 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.
