Essence Tours · Private Santorini journeys
Arrange your journey between Emporio, Santorini Airport and Athinios ferry port with our local team. Plan the arrival, your accommodation approach and the return before you travel.
Start with your flight details, party size and luggage. Essence Tours uses your arrival information to coordinate the airport pickup and confirms the meeting arrangement directly. Share the exact accommodation, including any entrance instructions from your host.
For a ferry arrival, provide the vessel name, date and arrival time. We agree the pickup at Athinios and the destination details before the journey. If you are travelling on a cruise ship, tell us where you disembark; the ferry port and Fira Old Port are not interchangeable.
Give the exact Emporio property name and host’s instructions. A location in the historic lanes may require an agreed vehicle stop and a final walk.
Do not use a nearby beach as a substitute destination; send the actual address for a correct quote.
Send your flight number, arrival date, exact accommodation and total luggage count. Your driver waits at airport arrivals holding a sign with your name. We monitor flight delays; contact us if you change flights. See the airport arrival photo and meeting instructions.
When you leave the ferry at Athinios, your driver waits directly opposite the disembarkation point with a sign displaying your name. Send your vessel name and arrival date: we monitor ferry arrivals and delays. Cruise tenders at Fira Old Port require a different meeting arrangement. See the ferry pickup guide.
We check the actual property, not just the destination name. Give the exact Emporio property name and host’s instructions. A location in the historic lanes may require an agreed vehicle stop and a final walk. We arrange the nearest vehicle-accessible stop. On arrival, we call your hotel and ask them to send a porter to help with suitcases and show you the way, subject to the hotel’s availability.
Do not use a nearby beach as a substitute destination; send the actual address for a correct quote.
Ask us to agree the pickup for your specific departure and accommodation. Traffic, the vehicle access point and airline or ferry check-in requirements all matter. We do not treat a driving-time estimate as the full connection time.
Enter the route and party details in Book Your Service where available, or send them to our team. The quotation and availability are confirmed before the service is agreed. Unlisted routes should be requested using the actual locations, not a nearby substitute.
Yes. The journey is for your own party. Tell us the full group size and luggage requirements so we can arrange the appropriate vehicle or coordinated transport for a larger group.
Tell us the total number of suitcases for your whole party so we can arrange a suitable vehicle. Mention pushchairs and bulky equipment as well. Include children in the passenger count and request child seats in advance with their ages; the team confirms suitable arrangements.
Describe any walking or access difficulty before booking. We discuss the vehicle stop and accommodation approach. Wheelchair-compatible transport is available upon request and must be specifically confirmed.
We monitor the arrival details supplied. If a flight or sailing is cancelled, replaced or changed, contact our team so the pickup can be coordinated using the new details. Keep the confirmation and contact number with you.
Yes. Send the return date, your Emporio accommodation and the departing flight or ferry details. Request both legs explicitly; an arrival booking does not automatically include the return. If the form does not offer that direction, contact us directly.
Tell us your proposed stops before confirming. Multiple visits need an agreed itinerary and price. Compare our private tours or ask about an hourly chauffeur instead of assuming sightseeing is included in a direct transfer.
Payment is normally cash to the driver; ask us if you prefer a card deposit. You can reach Essence Tours by WhatsApp, telephone or email before the journey and for pickup coordination. Keep the agreed booking confirmation available.
Send your date, exact pickup and drop-off, passengers, luggage and arrival or departure details. We will confirm the price, availability and meeting plan.
