Santorini Private Tours

Welcome to Ultimate Route Santorini, your premier choice for Santorini private tours with experienced local drivers. Unlike crowded group tours where you're herded from stop to stop on a fixed schedule, our private tours put YOU in control. Choose where you want to go, how long you want to stay, and what you want to see—this is YOUR Santorini adventure, designed exclusively for you and your travel companions.

Explore Santorini with a Private Driver

When you book a private tour Santorini with Ultimate Route, you're not just hiring transportation—you're gaining a knowledgeable local companion who will transform your visit into an unforgettable experience. Our professional English-speaking drivers are born-and-raised Santorini locals who know every hidden viewpoint, authentic taverna, and photo-perfect spot on the island.

Imagine arriving at the iconic blue domes of Firostefani at the perfect time before the crowds arrive. Picture yourself exploring the charming maze-like streets of Oia village without feeling rushed. Envision stopping at a local winery to taste volcanic wines while your driver shares fascinating stories about Santorini's unique viticulture. This is the beauty of a Santorini private tour with driver—complete flexibility, insider knowledge, and personalized attention from start to finish.

Our drivers don't just take you from Point A to Point B. They're storytellers, photographers (happy to capture your best moments), local experts, and cultural ambassadors. They'll recommend the best restaurants based on your taste, suggest hidden beaches away from tourist crowds, and adjust your itinerary on the fly based on weather, your energy levels, or spontaneous interests. This level of personalization simply isn't possible with large group tours.

Fully Customizable Itineraries

One of the greatest advantages of booking custom Santorini tours with Ultimate Route is the complete freedom to design your perfect day. While we offer popular pre-designed packages like our Santorini Day Tour (4 hours), Complete Santorini Experience (6 hours), and Wine Tour (4 hours), every itinerary can be fully customized to match your interests.

Simply tell us your interests during booking, and we'll craft the perfect itinerary. Want to spend two hours at a winery instead of one? No problem. Prefer beaches over monasteries? We'll adjust. Traveling with young children who need flexibility? We've got you covered. This personalization is what makes luxury Santorini tours with Ultimate Route so special.

Ideal for Couples, Families & Groups

Our Santorini private tours are designed to accommodate all types of travelers, whether you're a romantic couple on your honeymoon, a family with children, a group of friends celebrating a special occasion, or a solo traveler seeking an exclusive experience.

Unlike large tour buses that can hold 40-50 passengers, our Mercedes vans are designed for intimacy and comfort. With a maximum capacity of 8 guests, you'll receive personalized attention throughout your tour. Your driver-guide can hear your questions, adjust to your pace, and create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that's simply impossible in large group settings.

Luxury Mercedes Vans & Premium Comfort

At Ultimate Route, we believe that the journey should be as enjoyable as the destinations. That's why our entire fleet consists of premium Mercedes vans—the gold standard in luxury transportation. Every vehicle is meticulously maintained, fully air-conditioned, and equipped with modern amenities to ensure your comfort throughout your Santorini private tour with driver.

Need airport or port transfers in addition to your tour? We offer comprehensive Santorini transfer services including airport pickups, hotel transfers, and cruise port transportation—all in the same luxury Mercedes vehicles you'll enjoy during your private tour.

Private Tours vs. Group Tours: Why Private is Better

Many first-time visitors to Santorini wonder whether to book a private tour or join a group tour. While group tours can be more budget-friendly, the experience simply doesn't compare to the personalized luxury of a private tour Santorini. Here's why:

With a private tour, you're never rushing because the bus is leaving, never waiting for dozens of other tourists to take their photos, and never visiting places that don't interest you. You invest in quality over quantity, creating memories that last a lifetime rather than feeling like just another face in a crowd.
