5.00With a one-day stop in Santorini during our recent cruise, we wanted to make the most of our time here, so we splurged for this tour. The weather that morning prevented the private boat transfer and so the day didn't start as planned and we had to pivot, while communicating with the tour company to rearrange pickup, etc. It was frustrating, but uncontrollable circumstances. Once our tour guide, George, met us after we had to wait for the cable car, it was the most beautiful day. We were able to see so much of this beautiful island. He guided us expertly through the crowds, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch away from the crowds beachside in Perivolos, and saw much more of this beautiful island. VIP Santorini even processed a refund for the private boat transfer within the hour that morning and was available to problem solve and help us have a wonderful experience!

5.00Every cruiser on our ship was jealous of our Santorini experience, especially taking the cable car back to get to the boat. It was a two hour wait buy a tour set us up with the water taxi to come back. They schedule a time the water taxi is there exactly as promised we were back within a half hour unlike most people who did not do the tour had to walk down the steps and so many complaints so thank you thank you for an amazing experience
Great tour with Nikos!

5.00Other than a little confusion about the meeting place, which was also partially our own fault, this was an excellent tour of this beautiful island. Nikos, our guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He let us decide how much walking we could do, and gave us a very thorough tour, with a lot of information.
Perfect Day in Santorini

5.00I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!!! Our guide Katerina was amazing! She catered the entire tour to our preferences and even played our personal paparazzi, taking numerous pictures of our family for us. The scenery was stunningly, beautiful. The only thing to be aware of is that return transportation is not included in the price.
Beautiful Scenery

5.00Absolutely Amazing Experience – Worth Every Penny! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the BEST day in Santorini thanks to VIP Santorini Transfers and Tours and our incredible guide, Vasilis! 🙌 From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth, professional, and perfectly timed—no waiting in long cable car lines or crowded shuttles. The fact that this was a private 6-hour shore excursion meant we could fully customize our itinerary, and Vasilis was more than happy to help us make the most of it! He took us to all the must-see spots—from the stunning views in Oia, to the black sand beach, to the breathtaking cliffside villages. Along the way, he shared fascinating local history and gave us tips only a local would know. His energy, kindness, and deep love for Santorini made the experience unforgettable. This tour made our time on the island stress-free and super special. Highly, highly recommend booking this if you want a VIP experience that lets you truly enjoy Santorini your way! 💙

5.00Our private tour was awesome with Paulina who was a complete delight!! We covered so much of the island starting first at OIA to beat the crowds, then making our way to the breathtaking red beach, through the black beaches and stops in beautiful villages, seeing churches and highlights all along the way. Perfect day! We felt like we had a family member showing us Santorini!
