Santorini Unveiled: Exclusive Private Island Discovery

Tour guide Arthur is amazing. He took us to places most crowded tours wouldn’t have access to. He explained the history behind the blue domes and explained Santorini‘s past. We had the most wonderful time with him. The Mercedes van was very comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour. Definitely deserves a five star rating.

We had a wonderful tour with Arthur. He was knowledgeable and stopped at all the right places, giving us history and anecdotes. He found us a wonderful place for lunch as well. Highly recommend.

On this tour you get to see the entire island of Santorini. The guide will customize the day to fit your wants and limitations. That sounds good but we did not realize how it applied to us, since we knew very little about the island. Our tour guide, Arthur (who was very very good), chatted with us, asked a few questions and was able to quickly devise a plan that fit us. Results? A great experience.

We were initially planning to rent a car and explore the island on our own, but given my parents are getting older and we had limited time at our disposal, we went for a private tour. Suffice to say, this was the highlight of our trip! Arthur was very friendly and had amazing stories to share. He picked us up from our hotel early in the morning, as we requested, and took us to the best spots around the island. We were able to avoid the crowds and capture some stunning photos. We really got to see most of Santorini in half a day, which we didn't think was possible. Would highly recommend to do this on your first day on the island, or if you're only visiting for a day.

The trip was excellent. Our driver Arther was just a wealth of knowledge, he knew all the right picture places was very friendly

This trip was Amazing. Arthur was a great tour guide. We were traveling as a family with a 1 year old. Arthur was kind and fun. So knowledge. We spent time at all of the major sites, including beach time at Black Beach, and even saw some hidden gems. Arthur did an amazing job of navigating the crowds to help us get beautiful pictures of this amazing island. I would highly recommend this private tour, and ask for Arthur. It is well worth the money. Thanks Arthur for an amazing day. We wouldn’t change a thing… except maybe ask for cooler temperatures. It was a hot day. 🙂

The only way to truly experience Santorini, away from the crowds. Petros was our driver, and drove us to the 3 best beaches accessible by vehicle. Perfect for us. Very personable man, and easy to talk to. At the last stop took us to a beach club restaurant, where honestly the food was amazing! Soooo glad we booked this private tour.

We’re a little late posting this review (almost two months—life was just life-ing!), but I didn’t need a reminder to write it. This experience stuck with us, and we couldn’t let it go by without thanking our amazing host. We booked a private tour through The Breeze Tour Company, and let me just say—Artur, our guide, deserves every single bit of praise he’s ever received (and then some). This was a 5+ star experience from start to finish. If you’re arriving in Santorini by cruise ship, you probably know the port can be tricky—it’s tender-only, and the cable cars only move so many people at a time. We were lucky enough to get on the very first tender (highly recommend doing this—if your cruise offers priority disembarkation, TAKE IT!). The earlier you get there, the better your day will be. Artur was already waiting for us before our ship had even finished docking. Communication beforehand was easy and prompt via WhatsApp—the company sends you your guide’s contact info, so everything is confirmed and stress-free before you arrive. The moment we met, Artur gave us an overview of his plan for the day based on our time in port. We agreed, hopped into our vehicle (exactly as pictured—spotless and ice-cold A/C, which was a gift from heaven on such a hot day), and set off. First stop? The most scenic, iconic spots—before the crowds showed up. Honestly, it felt like we had our own professional photographer. We walked, we drove, we explored hidden corners, monasteries, panoramic viewpoints, and neighborhoods full of character. Artur even took us to his own local area, sharing fascinating history and personal stories along the way. We enjoyed a delicious lunch (he waited patiently and encouraged us to relax), and later, he whisked us away to the most stunning black sand beach where we swam, sipped drinks, and soaked it all in. He never once rushed us—just made sure we stayed perfectly on schedule. The whole day was a mix of gorgeous views, history, humor, great conversation, and that “local insider” feeling you just can’t get from a big group tour. It was an absolutely perfect way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We’ve already recommended Artur to two friends visiting Santorini soon, and we’ll keep doing so. Worth every single dollar. If you want an unforgettable day in Santorini, book Artur. You’ll thank yourself later.

We spent a fantastic day with my friends visiting all the most beautiful spots on the island. Our guide and driver Nikos was very kind and did his best to ensure we had a beautiful day.

We have a great day in Santorini. Our tour guide Arthur was fantastic.He was very friendly and show as a lot of places with wonderful views.He also speak more than 5 different languages. Great profesionalism and profound knowledge of the island. Thank you very much Arthur😊!
