Overview of your Santorini tour

Personalize your visit to the world's most unique island with a 6-hour Santorini Private Sightseeing Tour with Wine Tasting, which provides an overview of the Greek island in a relaxed setting. Allow me to show you what I consider to be the island's highlights such as Red & the Black Beach, the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and Oia, home to the iconic blue-domed churches. Take the best photos of Oia & the traditional Megalochori village before we practice your palate with 4 sips of wine at a family-owned winery of a friend with 3 centuries of wine-making tradition. I feel the winery as my second home! Learn about Europe's oldest vineyards and spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a luxurious and comfortable minivan. If you're a cruise ship passenger, I'll meet you at the top of the cable car (exit) with a sign bearing your name. By the end of our expedition, you will have experienced the best of Santorini on a flexible tour tailored to your preferences!

We had an amazing tour in Santorini with Argyris! We would highly recommend him as a guide. I had reached out because he had two different tours - he was able to customize a tour for us that included parts of both tours. We saw all the sites in Santorini and he navigated us quickly through crowds to get amazing pictures. We visited a wonderful winery and then drove down for an amazing lunch. He was the perfect guide! He was also a very careful driver - something we really came to appreciate after a few more days in Greece. We would highly recommend him!

We had a lovely time on our tour. Argyris was very informative and adaptable as we changed up a few things we wanted to see. He even brought back my water bottle that I left behind. We went to a lovely food spot at the black sand beaches and had a fresh and delicious lunch.

We had a fantastic tour with Argyris yesterday in Santorini. He is a wonderful tour guide - showed us all the must see sights, helped us avoid the crowds, and took us to see some hidden gems. He tailored our tour to meet our requests, took us to dinner on a gorgeous black sand beach, and drove us up to a cliff top for a panoramic view of an unforgettable sunset! If you are contemplating a tour with Argyris, book it now!! Thank you Argyris for an forgettable day! Paige

Argyris is an extremely knowledgeable guide and provides a local perspective on issues impacting Santorini. He also deftly navigated us around the crowds and the many, many tourbuses! The tour was relaxed but moved along at an effective pace. Would highly recommend Argyris to be your guide to Santorini and all it has to offer.

Santorini was very crowded the day we were there with five cruise ships in town. We left the ship early so we didn't get stuck in the cable car line. We really enjoyed Argyris (aka Archie) as our tour guide. He moved us through town so we could see the top spots all while providing interesting facts and tips on how to say Greek words. He led us in a wine tasting, we had time to explore town on our own, we took pictures from some scenic overviews and ended the day at a beach bar. It was a great day.

Your Santorini tour itinerary

- Oia: Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches & stunning panoramic views. One of the most instagramic places in Europe! A must-see. (approx:1 h 15 m) - Megalochori: Hands down my favorite town! Stroll the narrow paths & photograph the lovely bell towers along the way. Learn about the local slow-paced culture in this picturesque & non-touristic setting. (approx: 35 m) - Gavalas Winery: Wine tasting at a family-owned winery in Megalochori village, with 3 centuries of wine-making tradition (approx: 1 h 15 m) - Red Beach: Remarkable natural wonder. I love the volcanic scenery & the reddish cliffs. If I was asked what the definition of Greece is, it'd be Red beach's surrounding area ( approx: 20 m) - Perivolos Beach: My favorite black sand beach (approx: 15 m) - Mt Profitis Ilias: The island's highest peak, the Prophet Elias monastery, at 565 meter. (approx: 20 m ) This itinerary can be customized to your preferences. Ask for a quote and I will customize this tour for you
