Good questions. Clear answers.

Where do we meet for a shore excursion?

At the upper cable car station in Fira. Your confirmation includes the exact meeting instructions. Athinios ferry port is a different location.

Which private tour should cruise guests choose?

Our 4-hour tour starts at €300 for 2 guests, and the 6-hour tour at €380. The available time depends on your ship’s schedule and local queues. We confirm a suitable route before booking.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Marinakis Tours! Our private 4-hour Santorini tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Maria was an amazing guide, knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to all the perfect spots, including Fira, Firostefani, Oia, Kamari’s black-sand beach, and Pyrgos. She also took some great pictures of us along the way. Vaggelis was our driver and truly saved the day when he noticed my wife had left her phone in the van. He contacted us right away and met her to return it. Incredible service! Highly recommend Marinakis Tours, especially if you’re visiting Santorini on a cruise. Worth every penny!

We did the private tour of the island. Full day full of photo opportunities. Niko is a very knowledgeable guide and I would definitely highly recommend him and Marinakis Tours.

Spent a wonderful day touring all over Santorini. Nik was a wonderful host, walking us around to the best views and helping with translations. Really helped us make the most of our time there.
