Is this tour private, or will I be grouped with other travellers?

This is a fully private tour – it's just you, your guide, and your driver. No other tourists are included, so you control the pace and stops.

What's included in the EUR 850 price?

The price includes 8 hours of private guide service and transportation. Meals, drinks, and entry fees to attractions are typically not included; confirm details when booking.

Can I customise the itinerary, or is it fixed?

Private tours are flexible. Discuss your interests (beaches, villages, wineries, history) with your guide beforehand, and the itinerary can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Is the sunset viewing at Oia guaranteed, and how long do we stay?

Sunset timing varies by season, but your guide will plan to arrive with time to secure a good vantage point. Duration depends on your preferences and traffic; confirm timing with your guide when scheduling.

What's the physical difficulty level?

Moderate – you'll walk through villages with steep stone streets and stairs, and climb to hilltop viewpoints. Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. Not recommended for those with severe mobility limitations.

Can I choose which beach or taverna to visit?

Yes. Your guide can recommend popular spots or take you to quieter local favourites. Let them know your preferences for beaches (swimming, photography, volcanic sand) and dining (casual, upscale, specific cuisine) in advance.
