private tours from cruise port

Spend your day exploring Santorini on a private tour with your personal guide at your side.

Find the perfect private tour for you

Santorini welcomes thousands of cruise visitors every season, but your day does not have to feel crowded. Our cruise guests say the same thing; meetup at the cable car or tender point was easy, timing matched the ship, and their local guide knew how to avoid the cruise crowds and get the blue-dome photos.

These private shore excursions are made for cruise passengers who want something better than the standard group ship tour. If you want a seamless and personalized Santorini private tour from the ship, this is the way to go.
