Great tour- great guide! - We had an amazing time with our tour guide Katrina. It felt like we were experiencing the island with a friend. Her knowledge of the island is exceptional. She made the tour interesting, engaging and relaxing. I would thoroughly recommend this tour - you get to see and experience a lot in the 4 hour tour.
Thanks Katrina!

You will not regret booking with them!! - Katrina made this island visit the best. We visited Santorini on a cruise, so short on time. I wanted to book a private tour to make sure we could see as much as possible with the history of the town. Katrina delivered! We had a photographer booked before meeting with her and they did not take them where I thought we could. Katrina still came and picked us up and a different location than where we planned to meet. She definitely went above and beyond for us. We got to see all what we asked to see, plus so much more we had no idea about. We absolutely loved every minute. My son started to get hungry and she took us to a mom and pop restaurant that has the best gyros ever! The meat was the most flavorful I’ve had. I couldn’t say one negative thing about our time on the island. We truly enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much!

This was excellent value, with an amazing host - Simply outstanding, and the perfect way to see hidden treasures in Santorini, away from the masses coming off the cruise ships.
Katerina took us away from the very busy places, had wonderful local knowledge, amazing wine knowledge, and made us feel as if the 4 hour tour was based purely on what we wanted to see.
Could not recommend this experience any higher.

Best way to privately tour Santorini’s hidden gems - This was the best way to experience Santorini’s hidden gems that take you away from the thousands of tourists that flock here. Katerina our guide, was not only knowledgeable in all things Santorini, but her level of expertise in wine made it an unforgettable day. She was so kind to our children and made sure they felt included in the tour. We got to experience Santorini as locals—with an individualized day filled with spectacular views, quiet villages, a trip to the monastery, a winery, and best of all an intimate tour of Santorini’s only farm with a private farm/to-table lunch.

Unforgettable day with Santorini Golden Tours! - We had an amazing experience with Santorini Golden Tours! Everything was perfectly organized by Roula, who made sure every detail was taken care of. Our lovely tour leader Katerina was so knowledgeable, fun, and made us feel comfortable from the first moment.We visited the most beautiful parts of the island, including Oia, Finikia, Megalochori, the famous Three Bells of Fira, and the stunning Black Beach. We took so many amazing photos and laughed so much throughout the day.
The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and felt totally worth it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Santorini. Thank you Roula & Katerina you’re the best! 💙

The Best Tours Are Santorini Golden Tours! - What a great experience! We did some random Internet searches and the tours from Santorini Golden Tours caught our eyes. We contacted them and they surpringly responded very quickly. We told them what we wanted and then they made some suggestions and custom tailored a day tour of Santorini for us.
We landed in Santorini and was greeted by Katerina - what a warm and delightful lady!! She remembered our names from our conversations and never forget. Her attention to little details like that really amazed us and made us feel so comfortable. We got on the way and from the beginning to end, Katerina never ceased to amaze us. Her knowledge of the island and history was impeccable. We asked so many questions (and yes, maybe a few dumb ones 😅) and she was always happy to answer with a smile! We wrapped up our day with a seaside dining experience that was incredible!
Katerina dropped us off at the airport and it felt like saying goodbye to family...we were sad to leave. Thank you, Katerina, for being so kind to my family and for showing us all the wonders and sights that Santorini has to offer...which is a lot!
If we ever go back, we will only go with Santorini Golden Tours - you all are simply the best!!

Fantastic - We did a wonderful four-hour island tour with Roula. We didn’t want to see the usual touristy spots, so she took us to beautiful hidden corners of Santorini that weren’t crowded at all.
We had such a fantastic time! We even stopped for coffee in a charming traditional kafeneio it felt so authentic and local. The village of Emporio was simply magical, and we loved visiting the old windmills too.
But what really made the tour special was how Roula shared the story of the leper community that once lived on Santorini. She brought the island’s history to life in such an engaging way.
This was honestly the highlight of our trip something truly unique and memorable. If you want to discover the real Santorini, this is the way to do it!

The best experience - We booked a four-hour island tour with Santorini Golden Tours, and it was simply unforgettable! Roula was with us the whole time she was amazing: so friendly, incredibly polite, and full of wonderful stories about the island.
One of the highlights was watching the perfect sunset at the Akrotiri lighthouse. It was just magical, with the colors and the calm atmosphere.
Afterwards, Roula took us to a lovely seaside taverna, where we enjoyed some of the most delicious local food. It was the perfect way to end the tour.
This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini!
