Look, those big bus tours of Santorini are fine, I guess. But they all see the same thing. Essence Tours is different. We are a local travel agent in Santorini that acts like your personal guide. We create Santorini Private Guided Tours that actually match your pace. Want to skip the crowd? We know how.
We think the best tours in Santorini show you the island we love. The real one. That means the famous views, sure. But also, the hidden path in Oia. The little family winery. Our private tours in Santorini, Greece, are built for discovery. We handle the boring stuff. You just enjoy the ride.
Planning Santorini excursions can be a hassle. Not with us. We listen. We help you build a day that makes sense for you. As one of the licensed Santorini travel agencies, being MHTE certified is our promise to you. It means you’re safe and in good hands.
So that’s us. Essence Tours is really about sharing our home. Not just the famous parts, but the quiet magic in between. Let’s find it together.
