  • Imerovigli - Stop at Imerovogli and visit hidden spots with the most amazing views to all west part of Santorini caldera and understand and feel the difference from touristy and none touristy place.
  • Oia - Oia village is one of the most popular and visited places in Santorini. Oia is a small town and former community in the South of the Aegean Sea, on the Islands of Thera in the Cyclades, Greece. It covers the entire island of Thirasia and the northwestern part of Santorini, which it shares with the municipal unit of Santorini. Oia is known for its breathtaking sunsets, but its sunrise is also magical.
    There are two types of dwellings: cave houses dug out of the volcanic rock on the Caldera rocks and captain houses.
  • Firostefani - The village is one of the most stunning locations on the Island, which explains its increased popularity among locals and visitors. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Island and the caldera. Visitors can find accommodations, fine restaurants, bars, and other leisure and relaxation options. Even the highest standards and needs can be met in Firostefani, as the Island is a famous and ideal destination for world celebrities.
  • Castelli of Emporio - Emporio village is located in the southern part of Santorini. It is approximately 10 km from Fira, Chora of Santorini, and 12 km from Santorini Airport. Emporio is located next to the famous black beach of Perissa, just 4 km away.
    Emporio gives the feeling of being in the lowlands, at the foot of the mountain, and its views are those of a valley village, complete with vineyards. The name of Emporio (Niborios), which means “trade” in Greek, is the first indication of how important this village was to the economy of Santorini in medieval times. Emporio is a castle village with one of the best preserved and most unique medieval castle towns.
  • Red Beach - Red Beach is located in the southeastern part of the island near the archaeological site of Akrotiri, 14 km from Fira, and is easily accessible by car or bus. At the end of the road is a parking lot next to the picturesque chapel of Agios Nikolas (St. Nicholas). The short hike to the beach over the rocks from the parking lot is tricky. If you want to avoid the walk and go up to Red Beach, you can take a short boat trip from Akrotiri, Kamari, or Perissa. A swim on Red Beach can be combined with a visit to the Akrotiri archaeological site.
  • Perissa Black Sand Beach - Perissa is a gorgeous beach covered in black volcanic sand, great for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. It is located on the southeast coast of Santorini and is extended at the base of the massive Mesa Vouno promontory, suddenly emerging into the sea. Perissa is one of the island’s most cosmopolitan beaches, stretching for miles. It is joined by Perivolos beach, a more than 7 kilometers beach. The water is obvious, easy to lean in, and beautiful. The coarse black sand is walking-friendly, and it shines like glitter. However, summer can be sweltering. Stop at Perissa or Perivolos for swimming or have an optional lunchtime at a traditional tavern.

George is the best! - My wife, daughter and I had an amazing day with our guide and, who we will now call our friend, George. He arrived at our hotel early, had cold waters for us throughout the day and took us to amazing sights around the entire island. His knowledge of the island is great. He knew all the great locations for incredible pictures and we soon realized that we not only had a tour guide taking us around the island for 5-plus hours, but we also had a great photographer. I actually nicknamed him “King George” because everyone on the island seemed to know him and he/we got preferential treatment at many spots that we stopped at. Our tour ended at an amazing Greek restaurant/winery by the name of Artemis Karamolegos. The food, wine and service were all 5 stars. I have not been a big fan of Greek food, but, I must admit, the food at this restaurant was incredible. We did wine tasting and were even taken on a tour of the winery, including into the wine cellar. All in all, an extremely highly recommend thing to do while in Santorini.

Amazing tour and Delicious Food! - Maribelle was an absolutely amazing tour guide. Our boat let us off about 1.5 hours later from our scheduled time. She accommodated our group of 10's late arrival by showing us some amazing views and tasting delicious food. She told us about the history and interesting facts regarding the island. She made our time in Santorini very enjoyable and filled with laughs. She had everything timed to the minute, even with our late arrival. George was our driver and did a phenomenonal job navigating the narrow, traffic filled streets. Would absolutely book them again in a heartbeat. Our group of 10 said it has been their best time in Greece so far!!!! If you are looking for an enjoyable, laughter filled day with some delicious food, book this tour, hands down!!!

Private tour is the way to see Santorini - Awesome guide and driver team! It was the best decision to have them shown around the less crowded secret spots in Santorini, in the comfort of private vehicle with AC which made the experience a lot more enjoyable. Learned a lot about the history and culture, also great food at winery.

Party of 12 - We were a group of 12 and wanted to see as much as we could. Our guide Yainnis was very knowledgeable and took us to a couple extra spots since we made time in our schedule which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend their tour when visiting Santorini.

Wonderful tour - highly recommend - We had the best time with our tour guide Natalia! We booked this private tour with another family and there were 4 adults and 4 kids total (ages between 6-9). Natalia is a native of the island and knew all of the best places to take us. She was great with the kids - playing music for them and keeping them engaged. She took us to all the "Instagram-worthy" places and then made a lunch reservation for us at a restaurant right on the black sand beach where we ate the fresh catch of the day. I highly recommend this tour company and especially her to lead you around for the day.

Santorini for 88-Year-Old Grandma - We traveled comfortably with my 88-year-old grandmother! Our guide, who spoke excellent Spanish, was knowledgeable and warm, extending a hand to help my grandma on any difficult steps (my grandmother is in good health but does tire). Our guide waited right by the exit from the cable car in Fira to escort us to the cushy van. They also supplied waters the whole time. She and the driver accommodated our itinerary to ensure we would return in time to the cable car. No better way to get around when you only have one day in Santorini! Thankful for Top Santorini Tours' making it the best, in such a short time!

Great Private tour for our group. - We had a great tour of the island with Minus as our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to take us wherever we wanted to go. He had a great place picked out for our lunch at a restaurant on a quiet beach. He also took us to many of the top attractions around the island. Minus was a great host for our group of 12. We enjoyed the tour and would definitely use Top Santorini Tours again.

Magical Day in Santorini - My tour guide, Mary was excellent. She is a fountain of information about history, mythology, archeology, art, botany and all kinds of local knowledge. We visited the hilltop monastery, with its 360 degree panoramic views, the archeological excavations at Akrotin, the Archeological Museum at Thira, and Fira, among several other places. In addition, our very kind driver, who Knew I only had a short time here, made a few extra stops somI could get additional photos. Couldn’t have been more pleased with my private tour.
