Fabulous Santorini Tour
Our guide Katarina was fabulous, as were the sights of Santorini that she shared with us. We had visited Santorini on our own twice previously, but Katarina took us to incredible sites that we didn't even know existed. Not sure how we had missed spectacular Oia previously. This tour (and tour guide) rank as our #1 experience during our entire trip to Europe. Both we and our teenage grandkids loved it.

Santorini Tour
Hi! First of all, our guide was wonderful but we had to wait one hour because our tour guide was not there. We did not know what was happening because we did not have Internet or cell service. One kind man in a store, lent me his phone number. We were very worried because I could not communicate with Viator. I connected with the public WiFii service to contact you. I don’t like to connect with that kind of service. One hour late is too much. I feel beating a frequent client, should be compensated for that delay. Santorini es a very hard place to visit because of the type of city. One hour and a half to go down on the gondolas is to much. That is not Viators fault, but our tour started wrong.

So Breathtaking
Booked our shore excursion through Vicki at Skyline Travels, Santorini. The booked the tour for 10:30am so as to give us enough time to the top by cable car. Our ship berthed at 8am. To our surprise we got a cable car easily and reached the top at 8:45am. Called Vicki and explained the situation. Within 10 minutes she had a driver and vehicle at our disposal for the tour. So very impressed. Santorini is so picturesque and definitely a must do. Our driver Dimitri was very thorough and knowledgeable. In short we had an amazing time in Santorini with lunch on the Black beach. I wish Vicki and Dimitri all the very best.

Customized & Comfortable Santorini Shore Excursion
Santorini was one of our cruise ports and this tour was the perfect way to take advantage of our short visit. Our guide met us at the top of the cable car and led us to our vehicle which was spacious and comfortable. We were able to cover a lot of ground on the island and our guide took us to some great view locations and worked the timing out with the driver so that we could see the key sights we wanted to visit. Our guide even found us the perfect casual local spot where we could get some quick and delicious gyros. Our time on shore was limited and we were very pleased with the flexibility this custom tour and transportation provided.

Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santorini.
How much does Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $254 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 21 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour?
+
Around 7 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini 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.
What is included in Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour?
+
Included: Private tour; Tour escort/host; Driver; and Small bottle of water for every guest. Not included: Food and drinks; Cable car tickets; Wine tasting; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 389 listed pickup locations in and around Santorini. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour 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 Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour?
+
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.

+
