What To Expect
Oia
Our first stop will be the village of Oia, the most famous village of Santorini on the north side of the island. At this unique place, visitors can admire the historical houses which have been built in niches inside the volcanic bedrock and the blue-roofed churches. Moreover, the adorable views from this location will make you feel relaxed and will give you the chance to take the first photos for your album.
Firostefani
Next stop on our tour-schedule is the village of Firostefani, the “crown of Fira”, which owes its name to its elevated position. The stunning views of Fira and the volcano from the village will stay in your memory for good. We will go on for a photo shooting visit of the famous Blue Domed Church, an iconic church that has adorned the cover of so many guidebooks of Santorini.

5.00I can’t thank Nikos enough for an amazing tour! He offers above & beyond service and knowledge of Santorini since he also calls it home. You can expect to see & experience all the best highlights of the Island on this tour with each stop offering just the right amount of time. I really appreciated that Nikos actually accompanied me at each stop & gave a lot of background information and history. I wasn’t just dropped off & picked up. If I was on my own I might have missed many interesting spots or highlights. You’ll be provided with the best spots for some amazing scenic photos. Some of my most memorable stops today were the Red & Black Sand Beaches, Oia and the Akrotiri excavation site. Nikos is very accommodating, friendly, professional & relaxed 😊 I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and his company Santo Luxury Escape!
Must book this tour!

5.00I just returned from a week long stay in Oia. What a wonderful time I had with glorious weather too. Thank you to Nikos Drosos for showing me your Santorini. I can recommend this day trip. If I could, he would get a 15/10 and 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. If you have special requests, he will accommodate that and adjust his program. I also did the wine tour with him. #BaieDankie!! 🫶🇬🇷

5.00Great experience in Santorini with Nikos at Santo Luxury Escape! Professional, on time, and fun to spend the day with ! He handled our transfers both to and from the airport with an early departure. We also did the 4 hour private tour. We got in EIGHT stops thanks to the time of year with less crowds and traffic. Highly recommend. Book with him directly on his website!

5.00Our family booked a full day exploring Santorini with Nikos. We had such a good time. Nikos grew up in Santorini and knows the island well. He took us all around showing us different sights and places. Nikos was so accommodating. If you’re looking for a tour, do not hesitate and book now. Thank you Nikos for the memories ❤️❤️❤️ Sincerely Carolyn

5.00We had such a wonderful experience on our tour with Santo Luxury Escape! Right off the bat, our guide Nikos made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. His English is excellent, which made everything easy to follow; but it was his kindness, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm that really stood out to us. He knew all the hidden gems and the best spots for photos, and made sure we had time to enjoy ourselves without ever feeling rushed. We loved being able to see different spots on the island and experience it a little bit more authentically, and were able to reach places we couldn’t have seen on our own. We booked all of our transfers while in Santorini with this company as well, as we were so impressed with them! We would recommend Santo Luxury Escape to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Santorini.
Highly recommend- one of the highlights of our trip!

5.00We had arranged for Nikos to tour us around the island on our first day! It was such a wonderful experience! This was a mother / daughter trip and we wanted to tour the island with private transportation so that we would feel more comfortable getting around on the remaining days we were in Santorini. Nikos took us to the locations we wanted to see (Oia, black beach, wine tour and other scenic locations). Highly recommend as this was one of the best days of our trip. We also arranged to have transportation to ferry on our last day. Booking through Nikos was much less expensive than arranging transportation through our hotel. When we return to Santorini we will definitely book again!!
Awesome authentic Greek tour!

5.00Girls trip! Our guide George was awesome! He took us to all the right places for awesome photos of Santorini blue domes. He made sure we had an authentic Greek lunch with a local off the tourist path restaurant. He went over and beyond what a typical tour guide would do. We would highly recommend Santo’s Luxury Tours, and would use them again if we ever get to go back! Thanks for the memories George!
Best tour and tour guide.

5.00We had the best day exploring Santorini. George was the absolute best. He knew all the ins and outs of the island and even gave us cold water ,fresh squeezed juice, and the most yummy Greek treats. He made sure we saw all the sights and avoided all the big tour group traffic. He brought us to a great family restaurant and they served us an authentic Greek meal, it was hands down, one of the best meals I have ever ate. He also took us to the best shopping places and we saved lots on the items we purchased. Best tour ever!
