Perfect Private Tour of Santorini
Lori W,Jun 10, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Our tour guide, Ioanna, provided our family an amazing overview of Santorini. We had time to stop at the three main beaches on the island (red, black and white beaches). She gave us a great lesson on the history and architecture of Santorini as well. She took us to all of perfect spots to take photos of this amazing island! She was friendly, funny and knowledgeable of the area. We also had time to do a little shopping and have an amazing lunch at the black beach! Having a private tour of Santorini with Ioanna is the way to go! I highly recommend it!
Terrible touring experience with Ioanna

5.00Fabulous day beating around Santorini, seeing the sights, learning the history, and tasting Santorini life. We went as a couple on a private tour and had a great day! We had such a short time on Santorini that this was just the thing to do. Panagiottis was a wonderful guide!
Great Santorini tour with Panos

5.00I’m fairly sure this is the tour we took (it was booked through our travel agent). We were picked up at the port and hit all the highlights. Poppi was a skilled driver and Panos was very knowledgeable in all areas. We had a wine tasting, saw the blue domes, black sand beach, a village (or two). It was a lot and it was great. The car was comfortable and lunch (on our own, not included) was wonderful at the black sand beach. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic Day in Santorini

5.00A great day with Panos. He picked us up at the top of the cable car, and we walked us to his nice clean car. He told us all about the history, geology , and the micro climate of the island. He took us to all the vantage points of the island and to some beautiful places outside of Oia and Fira. We saw the beaches, the vineyards, the churches. In short we saw the island from top to bottom. He asked us if we wanted lunch and what type of food. We ended up with a great lunch of gyros and souvlaki by the black beach. I highly recommend Panos and his family business when visiting Santorini
Sights of Santorini

5.00Our private tour with Panos in Santorini was the highlight of our trip! From the moment he picked us up, Panos made us feel welcomed and completely at ease. His knowledge of the island, warm personality, and attention to detail made the day unforgettable. We explored Oia’s blue-domed churches and cobblestone streets, took in caldera views at Firostefani, and visited Pyrgos and the Prophet Elias Monastery for breathtaking island panoramas. In Megalochori, Panos shared stories of tradition and architecture, and at Red Beach, we marveled at the unique volcanic cliffs and sand. Instead of the lighthouse stop, Panos suggested we eat at seaside restaurant where we enjoyed delicious local cuisine while overlooking the Aegean Sea, an absolute highlight! We ended the day strolling along the Perissa Black Sand Beach, soaking in the beauty and tranquility.
Flexible and informative!

5.00Panos was great! During the tour we could tell private was the best option for Santorini. For moments it felt like we had areas to ourselves in between cruise and big bus tours. We found out there were many cancellations due to the earthquake this year, but were still able to see things changed with the larger groups. There was also a lot of flexibility and consideration for a family member with mobility issues. We were given the information in advance and decided what we could and couldn’t handle.
Unforgettable tour

5.00A must do tour! Panos drove me and my girlfriend around the island to some unforgettable view points and to an idyllic little town to stroll through. He was so knowledgeable about the history and generally anything asked during our tour. Panos was also very accommodating to anything we wanted to stop and look at or do during the tour. Cheers mate!
Excellent tour with Panos, an absolute must do!
