The experience
Most Santorini tours follow the same three stops in the same order. This one doesn't. Before you start, you tell the guide what actually draws you, whether that's the quiet hilltop villages, the food and farming traditions, the views from the cliffs, or time to wander and photograph without rushing. The guide then builds the day around that, choosing which stops matter and how long to linger at each one. You might spend an hour in Pyrgos exploring the narrow lanes and old stone houses, or move through it quickly to spend more time on the highest peak at Profitis Ilias Monastery, where the view opens across the whole archipelago. The pace stays yours.
Along the way, you'll visit Oia for the famous blue-domed church and the panoramic views that draw people here, walk the cliffs above the black sand beaches, and stop at a traditional Santorini farm. Here's where the tasting comes in: you choose one. Wine from one of the island's oldest family-owned wineries, a tasting of six craft beers with pairing bites, or olive oil from the farm itself. The guide weaves the stories behind each one into the experience, not as a separate event but as part of how the day unfolds. Bottled water is included throughout, and hotel pickup and drop-off mean you don't arrange transport separately.
The tour runs six hours and operates in all weather, so dress for the conditions you expect. The guide is live and speaks English or German. If you're interested in the wine or beer tasting, note that Greece's drinking age is 18. Entrance fees to any paid sites aren't included in the price, so ask the guide which stops charge admission if that matters to your budget.
Top questions
Can I be picked up at my hotel?
You can choose: pickup at your hotel, or go straight to the meeting point. Pickup is included in the price. When you book, you choose your hotel from 97 pickup locations; if yours isn’t listed, you can type in your address.
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and German.
What's the difference between the wine, beer and olive oil tastings on this tour?
The wine tasting takes place at one of the island's oldest family-owned wineries and focuses on local varieties. The beer option is a tasting of six craft beers paired with small bites. The olive oil tasting happens at the traditional farm you visit and centers on the pressing and flavors of the local harvest. You choose one at booking based on what interests you most.
Can I really change the itinerary once the tour starts, or is it set in advance?
You share your interests before the tour begins (whether you want more time outdoors, deeper stories about specific sites, or a focus on food and villages), and the guide designs the route around that. Once you're out, the guide can adjust timing and pacing based on how the day feels, but the main stops are planned ahead so the guide can arrange access and timing properly.
Does the tour include entry to Oia, Pyrgos and the Monastery of Profitis Ilias?
Entry fees to paid sites are not included in the tour price. The guide will let you know which stops charge admission so you can decide whether to enter or simply enjoy the exterior and views. Most of the experience (the villages, the cliffs, the farm and the tasting) doesn't require a separate ticket.
What's the highest point you reach on this tour?
Profitis Ilias Monastery sits on the highest peak of Santorini. The tour rounds out at this spot to catch the view over the whole archipelago before heading back. The walk to reach it is manageable for all fitness levels, though it does involve some uphill sections.
