Experience the best of
Santorini with Withlocals

"If you’re looking for a private tour of Santorini that goes beyond the typical tourist stops, book with Apostolis—you won’t regret it. From the moment he picked us up, Apostolis was friendly, engaging, professional, and right on time. Rather than simply checking off the standard attractions, he tailored the experience to show us a more authentic side of the island. We visited the lighthouse, the beautiful black sand beach, and several off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have discovered on our own. Throughout the day, he shared fascinating insights about Santorini’s history, culture, and local life, all while giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. He was respectful, personable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a memorable experience. Our tour with Apostolis was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. We would highly recommend booking a private tour with him if you want to experience the island with a knowledgeable local who truly cares about his guests."

"We met up with Apostolis (Nikos) and had the best of days, we saw everything we wanted too and more. Totally the best way to see anywhere is with a local that has passion for both his job and the area that he loves in. Such a beautiful place the experience made al the richer by Nikos."

"Kostas wasn’t just a guide — he was the spark that turned our Santorini outing into a full on adventure, keeping all nine of us involved from start to finish. From Oia to Fira to Megalochori, he somehow made each stop feel effortless and special. He even took us into an underground cave house still intact, with multiple rooms and no electricity. It was the kind of place you’d never find on your own. He wove history into stories, and he knew every photo angle so it looked like our group had Santorini entirely to ourselves. Our ages ranged from 11 to 84, and he kept every single one of us engaged, smiling, and having fun. And just when we thought the day was winding down, he made a quick stop at a local shop where we could buy Santorini wines at real local prices and not the inflated ones found at tourist towns of Oia or Fira. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."

"Easy paced, informative tour with Aphrodite. Loved her insight and information and LOVE for her island. "

"We cannot say enough good things about Aphrodite. From the very beginning, she was communicative, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted to do—and honestly weren’t ready to plan until closer to the date—and she was very understanding of that. Since we were undecided, she curated a wonderful overview tour that took us all around the island, finishing with a delightful stop at a winery. She has a wealth of knowledge to share and is genuinely kind, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Aphrodite also offered helpful guidance, suggesting an earlier start to beat the crowds and clearly explaining the tendering and cable car process so we knew exactly what to expect. Our group included two seniors with some mobility challenges, and she thoughtfully adjusted the pace and activities to suit their needs, while still ensuring we experienced the best of the island. She also paid attention to the small details—like offering to hold our water bottles before taking photos—so everything felt polished and effortless. Overall, it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you, Aphrodite!"

"We had a great tour of Santorini and learned about both the island as well as the surrounding Cyclades. What a joy to have such a knowledgeable guide! To top it off, we also were able to secure a number of iconic photos that are Instagram classics. Perfect! Thanks again Withlocals and our guide Aphrodite "

"We had a great time with Kostas in Santorini! Very knowledgeable about history and sites of the island. He spent extra time either us to make sure we saw one last great historical site!!"

"It was tempting to remain on our terrace for 3 days with a fabulous view of the caldera in Imerovigli. I was so glad however that we had booked with Aphrodite to give us a different perspective of the island beyond the shopping and restaurants and perfect views. She understood that we wanted to learn about the history and culture of the island beyond the busy tourism industry and she delivered. Her suggestion on timing of our travels to get ahead of the cruise ship arrivals were excellent. She walked us down back streets of Oia away from the crowds, showing us examples of older architecture. And we were so pleased to have the opportunity to see the archeological work at Akrotiri that laid the foundation for an understanding of history we referred to throughout the rest of our travels in Greece. Perhaps one of the best decisions was a roadside stop at a small multi generational winery where we had the best tomato fritters and a Santorini salad with caper berry leaves! I can still taste them. Her flexibility, enthusiasm, humor and knowledge were all a perfect match for what we were looking for. Thank you Aphrodite for sharing your stories. I highly recommend visitors take advantage of all of your talents. "

"We had a wonderful day in Santorini with Apostolis and his driver. He showed us the major sites and a few of his favorite local places. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, taking us to the major sites as well as a few of his local spots. He has a great personality and was really fun to spend the day with. "

"Thank you Apostolis for showing and sharing Santorini with us! This was our second visit and you made it feel like our first. Apostolis gave us a VIP experience sharing some of his favorite places and we would do it all over again but next time stay longer. Thanks again for a beautiful day!!!"
