Useful information about Santorini Experts

Santorini Experts is an award-winning tour operator offering a huge variety of Santorini day tours. 

Founded by Kathrin Vogel, it was born from a passion for sharing the island’s authentic beauty, culture and stories through thoughtfully designed, high-quality experiences.

With 15 years of local expertise, a focus on sustainability and inclusivity and more than 1000 5-star ratings, the company crafts immersive journeys guests can’t stop raving about.

At Santorini Experts, we offer day tours for all tastes and budgets, including:

• Private tours
• Small-group tours
• Boat tours
• Sailing tours
• Tailor-made tours
• Shore excursions
• Off-the-beaten-path activities

From guided wine tasting, caldera hikes and cooking classes to wheelchair accessible and women-only tours, catamaran cruises and Thirassia day trips, there’s an alternative for everyone’s needs and preferences.

Although we welcome hundreds of customers from all over the world and across all age groups each year, our primary audience is middle-aged American women who are married and financially well-established.

They typically visit with their husbands and explore the island either during a multi-night stay or as part of a Mediterranean cruise.

In the latter case, their time on the island is limited. Since they want to focus on the landmarks that interest them most, gain insider knowledge and make the most of their visit, booking a private or small-group tour becomes the obvious choice.

• Private tours: From 95€ to 189€ per person
• Small-group tours: From 89€ to 169€ per person
• Sailing tours: From 95€ to 160€ per person
• Boat tours: From 30€ to 700€ per person
• Tailor-made tours: From 109€ to 209€ per person
• Off-the-beaten-path activities: From 20€ to 315€ per person

We have received the TripAdvisor badge “Travellers’ Choice” every year of our operation until 2020, when they stopped providing it.

Additionally, we have won the “Inclusive Operator Award” at the 2024 Arival Spotlight Awards for our commitment to making Santorini accessible to travelers with mobility needs.
