Can I customise the itinerary on the day, or do I need to decide beforehand?

Both. You can share your main interests before the tour and have your guide refine them, or simply tell your guide what appeals to you when they arrive, and they'll design the route in real time. The tour is fully bespoke.

Does the price include wine tastings or meals?

The description does not specify if tastings or meals are included in the EUR 420 starting price. Confirm inclusions with the supplier when booking, as winery visits and food experiences may incur additional costs.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

The tour involves walking through villages and potentially uneven terrain at wineries, so it's best suited to families with older children or those comfortable with moderate physical activity. Discuss any concerns with your guide when booking.

What happens if I want to extend the tour beyond 5 hours?

The listed duration is 5 hours. Contact the supplier to discuss longer options or full-day tours, as extension availability and pricing will depend on your guide's schedule and your chosen sites.

Will I visit crowded tourist spots like Oia, or can I skip them?

You decide. If Oia interests you, your guide can take you to the famous labyrinthine streets. If you prefer quieter alternatives, tell your guide and they'll suggest less-congested viewpoints and villages instead.

Is hotel pickup included, and what if I want to meet elsewhere?

Yes, your guide will meet you at your accommodation or wherever you choose. Confirm your preferred meeting location and time when you book to ensure smooth coordination.

Are you into Santorinian wine culture, archaeology and sites, tranditional villages, delicious local food, unique beaches, or volcanic geology? The Santorini Wonders Private Tour will allow you to see the things you choose at your own pace. Your guide will meet you at your accommodation, or wherever you choose, and he will provide you with a multitude of suggestions for your itinerary. Alternatively, you can just tell him what your main interests are and he will design on the spot an itinerary tailored to you alone.

Why not pamper yourself? This is Santorini, one of the most famous islands in the world! Visit vine-covered estates, discover multi-level wineries built on the lip of the caldera, or walk in the labyrinthine streets of Oia. Let us show you the real Santorini, and enjoy it as it deserves to be experienced, unfolding at your own pace.

Highlights

✓Caldera-edge wineries and vine-covered estates with tastings
✓Labyrinthine streets of Oia without the tour-group rush
✓Traditional villages with authentic local food and aromas
✓Volcanic geology and unique beaches shaped by the island's geology
✓Fully customisable route—you set the pace and priorities

Insider tips

★Tell your guide your top 2–3 interests before arrival so they can pre-plan logistics and avoid bottlenecks at popular spots.
★Wineries often close mid-afternoon; morning visits mean better light and fewer crowds, plus cooler temperatures for walking.
★Request a winery with traditional food pairings to experience Santorini's culinary culture, not just viticulture.
★Skip the main Oia sunset if you value serenity—ask your guide for lesser-known caldera viewpoints instead.

Good to know

•Duration is 5 hours (half-day); confirm whether this includes hotel pickup time or starts upon arrival at first site.

•Meet your guide at your accommodation or a location of your choice; confirm meeting point when booking.
•Cancellations due to availability changes qualify for full refund or rescheduling; check cancellation policy for other circumstances.

our guide Zara really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in Bangkok, 10/10
