The best way to see the island when you only have one day! Micheal was great! Communicated with us before the tour, arrived early and even made a few extra stops for us at a great bakery. He was very nice and knowledgeable and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour! One of the highlights of our cruise.

Great driver , fabulous views, good way to see the whole island but overpriced

Kathryn_C, Jul 2022

Our driver Petros was great, friendly polite and knowledgeable. No complaint whatsoever with him, however the tour like everything else in Santorini is overpriced and underwhelming- on other Greek islands for similar tours we would have been provided with complimentary refreshments and just a little more attention to detail and hospitality. In santorini they don’t have to try hard so don’t

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear traveler, We would like to thank you for your comments for your tour guide Petros and the service he has provided you with. Our main concern has always been delivering 5-star services and our tour guide Petros obviously did. Surprisingly you chose to rate your experience with Petros with 4 stars based on the price of the tour although you did not have any complain with him. Certainly your opinion is subjective, however we would like to inform you that our First-time visitors experience is a 5-Hour private tour on a brand new vehicle with 4 complimentary wines and a cheese platter included, therefore we feel that its price is reasonable. Furthermore a detailed description of the tour as well as the price are clearly indicated before one decides to reserve it. Eirtherway regardless the costs of our products, we have always been committed to deliver 5-Star services and this is what we will keep focusing on. We will be happy to accommodate you again on your next visit to our unique island. Best regards, George

Great Private Tour

Samantha_N, Jul 2022

Our tour guide, Dimitrios, was wonderful! He took us to all of the important sites and got us there without experiencing too many crowds or any issues finding the places we needed. He was very accommodating and flexible in picking us up and dropping us off, plus giving additional time if we wanted to explore. We were on a cruise ship and had limited time to explore Santorini, so this tour gave us a really nice taste of the city while allowing us to make it back to our boat in time.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Samantha, Thank you for your awesome review towards Dimitri.We work hard to meet the expectations of our customers and we are more than happy to hear we hit the mark. We would love to continue providing great service to awesome persons like you. Thanks again for showing your appreciation.Hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, The Santorini Road Trips team.

Fabulous way to see the island!

Perfect in Every Way

Richard_F, Oct 2021

Could not have asked for more out of a private five hour tour. It was the perfect length to explore the signature parts of the island without taking a whole day. Our guide, Dimitris, was far and away the best tour guide we’ve met in Greece - or anywhere for that matter. Felt more like a friend showing us the island than a paid guide. His knowledge of both the history and local customs of Santorini made this tour the highlight of our stay. A must for anyone staying on Santorini.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Dear Richard, We greatly appreciate your excellent review for Dimitris and your private tour. We are very glad you have had an excellent experience in our island and we are looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Best regards, George

Breathtaking Santorini

Lisa_R, Aug 2021

Our tour guide was amazing. He was so informative on history of Santorini and could answer any questions we asked him. We all contacted with him the minute we meant him. He was right there to pick us up from the ferry. He knew everyone in Santorini so everywhere we went people would speak to him and he would introduce us. I have already recommended your service to so many people who are headed there next summer and this fall. We may be back next summer and I will be booking again another tour through Viator as long as he can be our guide. He gave us all alittle Greek eye ornament and the girls still talk about how nice he was our whole trip. Thank you for such an incredible experience I would highly recommend your tours to anyone and everyone I know🇬🇷🤍💙

A well crafted, custom tailored experience.

Justin_W, Jul 2021

Michael was a great guide! We saw the best of Santorini in one day! He was really accomodating and flexible as we threw him a curveball by suggesting we drop a couple planned stops and adding a 2nd winery that was recommended by our friends! He kept a handle of the schedule and reservations so my wife and I could relax and enjoy Santorini!!!!
