Santorini Private Tours |
|
Even the most seasoned traveler can't help but be seduced by Santorini. The island's caldera rises out of the Aegean Sea in a series of towering multi-coloured cliffs, making for a truly dramatic approach by boat. Of course, its spectacular beauty makes Santorini an extremely popular tourist destination; escape the crowds and experience the island at your own pace, on a private Santorini tour with a local guide.
Ancient Thira was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in modern history, which struck during the height of the Minoan civilization. Evidence of the Minoans, along with Hellenic, Roman and Byzantine ruins, can be found around the island. See the famous whitewashed towns of Oia and Akrotiri (your guide will find you the best regional cuisine to sample along the way) and be sure to watch the sun set over the ocean from the rim of the caldera.
Your guide is happy to design a private Santorini tour that reflects your unique interests in this stunning Cycladic island. |

| Tour Guide Legal Requirements |
If the nature of the tour is that the guide is 'interpreting the cultural and natural heritage of an area', Greece requires the guide have a guiding license. A person giving tours such as the 'best nightlife spots', 'shopping and fashion tour' or 'restaurant tour' for example, does not require a license. This definition follows the European standard for tour guiding (CEN).
Licensed Tourist Guides are the only professionals permitted to conduct tours in all sites and museums within a city. Licensed guides are required in those areas where the local authorities state that one of them is mandatory.
To become a Licensed Tourist Guide, candidates must pass an examination given by the local public tourist authorities. report error
All ToursByLocals guides have met our ToursByLocals Guide Requirements which includes warranting that they can legally give the tours they offer. |
