How much do Santorini tours cost?

From 220 EUR for a personalised tour, 280 EUR for the five hour south part tour, 460 EUR for the eight hour full day tour, 556 EUR for the food experience and 650 EUR for the wine tour. Transfers start at 40 EUR. All prices are per vehicle rather than per person.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. A family of four pays the same as a couple, and one person booking alone pays the vehicle price.

Do you collect from my hotel?

Yes, from anywhere on the island at no extra charge. In villages with pedestrian lanes such as Oia, Imerovigli and Megalochori the vehicle stops at the nearest road, and we tell you how far the walk is before you arrive.

What happens if my flight or ferry is delayed?

We track it. The driver waits and there is no extra charge.

Can you collect from the old port below Fira?

No. The old port has no road and is reached only by cable car, six hundred steps or donkey. Cruise passengers are met at the top of the cable car.

Are your tours private?

Always. Your party alone in the vehicle. We do not put separate parties together.

Do I need a guide for Akrotiri and Ancient Thira?

It makes a large difference. Both sites have almost no signage and without a guide a good deal of them reads as low walls.

What deposit do you take?

An 80 EUR deposit confirms any date, and the balance is paid on the day.

When is the best time to visit Santorini?

June and September. April, May and October are quieter and cheaper. July and August are hot, crowded and expensive.

Can I connect a ferry to a flight on the same day?

No. Sailings from Athinios port are cancelled in strong meltemi wind at short notice, and a missed flight is the usual result.

Are the tours suitable for limited mobility?

Partly. Akrotiri is roofed and largely level and the Vlychada marina is flat, but Ancient Thira, the kastelli at Emporio and the caldera villages are not accessible. Tell us in advance and we will build the day around it.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes, on request. Tell us the ages of the children when you book.

Santorini Tours Company | About Us, Local and Licensed

About Our Santorini Tours Company

We are a licensed Santorini tours company based on the island, with guides and drivers who live here year round rather than arriving for the season. Every tour we run is private, every price is per vehicle rather than per person, and every itinerary can be changed to suit the people in the vehicle. Book with Santorini Tours, a licensed local operator.

What our Santorini tours company does

Private guided tours of the island, airport and port transfers, wine and food experiences, shore excursions for cruise passengers, and transport for weddings and groups. All of it in our own air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz mini buses and cars.

What makes this Santorini tours company different

Three things, and they are practical rather than promotional. Our prices are per vehicle, so a family of four pays what a couple pays. Our vehicles are mini buses rather than coaches, so they reach the switchback up to Ancient Thira and the road out to the lighthouse where larger vehicles turn back. And our drivers live here, so they know which hotel in Oia sits at the bottom of a hundred and eighty steps before you find out with your suitcases.

The Guides and Drivers Behind Our Santorini Tours Company

The guides at our Santorini tours company know the island thoroughly and speak several languages, and they give their full attention to your questions with courtesy and genuine interest. On the archaeological sites this matters more than anywhere: Akrotiri and Ancient Thira have almost no signage, and without someone to explain them a great deal reads as low walls.

Our drivers are professional, experienced and known for their adherence to driving regulations. On an island of narrow walled lanes shared with rented scooters, that is a safety feature rather than a courtesy. They drive these roads every day of the year, not for twelve weeks in summer.

The vehicles are modern and fully equipped with air conditioning, large windows and audio, and they undergo regular technical inspection under Greek legislation. More about our fleet.

How Our Santorini Tours Company Works

Private, always. Every booking with this Santorini tours company is Your party alone in the vehicle. We do not put separate groups together.

Per vehicle, not per person. The single biggest difference between this Santorini tours company and a per-seat coach excursion.

Pickup included. From any hotel on the island, the airport, or either port, at no extra charge.

Flights and ferries tracked. A delayed arrival is our problem, not yours.

Your pace. If a village turns out to be the best thing you have seen, you stay in it.

An 80€ deposit confirms any date, with the balance paid on the day.

Honest advice from a local Santorini tours company. If the public bus will do for what you want, we say so. If your hotel is down two hundred steps, we tell you before you arrive rather than after.

Why Choose This Santorini Tours Company

For this Santorini tours company it comes down to passion and commitment. We have taken years of experience in designing tours and put it toward one thing: conveying our own affection for this island to the people who visit it.

Our aim is not simply to provide tour services but something greater – an experience that continues to reverberate for years afterwards. That is why the vehicles are comfortable, why the guides answer questions properly, why the drivers take the roads carefully, and why we would rather tell you honestly that a page on this website does not apply to you than sell you the wrong day.
