Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We engaged Santorini's Best Driver on 9/18 for a 6 hour tour of Santorini and felt the money was well spent and we were not disappointed. Our driver Aris was a local and knew the best spots for pictures and views away from crowds (where possible). Aris was very engaging, willing to accommodate where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see with some of his own suggestions. He had a great personality and sense of humor and smile. We were a group of 4 and had a very nice, almost new and spotless, very comfortable black Mercedes van with captain seats. If you are considering a driver don't hesitate to engage this company. Thanks Aris!

Fantastic service for getting me and my elderly mum around the island. The drivers were punctual, polite, professional, advised us on where to eat and gave other advice, they were amazing, and beautiful air conditioned Mercedes Benz cars and minivans, for a very good price. We used them for transport from Pyrgos to Oia and back one day, and for a 3.5 hour period on another day to take us to three different attractions, plus the return journey back as well. Absolutely the best choice for getting around the island. The buses are infrequent, the taxis rip you off, and driving round the mountain roads looks terrifying, I would choose these guys every time and if I ever go back I'll be booking them for everything.

We (our family of 3) rented with SBD at the last minute (via a recommendation from some family members who had used them previously). The rental process was easy as we connected with Konstantinos over WhatsApp and he gave us a rough itinerary via text and very promptly hooked us up with a driver the next day. Our driver/tour expert Spyros arrived the next day exactly on time and gave us a thrilling ride all over Santorini. We literally spent 6 hours with him going from one end of the island to another and likely covered everything there was to see. Along the way he gave us a lot of tips about the island and culture and even on his own bought us some local appetizers to share as he wanted to treat us to Greek hospitality. Amazing! Overall, I would highly recommend these guys as it was a terrific service (including being driven around in a beautiful black Mercedes sedan). Excellent service and value for our money — thank you Konstantinos and Spyros!

We had a wonderful time with Santorini’s Best Driver and Spyros during our trip to Santorini. What was a last minute spur of the moment booking for a driver while we were visiting for a day on a cruise turned into a really memorable and special day. They were super prompt and communicative to arrange a booking less than 24 hours before arrival, and Spyros was waiting for us at the cable car when we arrived. He gave us a great history of Santorini before driving us all over in a comfy Mercedes van to see the island’s amazing sites, including a stop to Santo wines (beautiful views and great wine!), then up to and around Oia where he ended up being videographer for our impromptu engagement. Spyros, thank you so much for showing us around and all the wonderful photos from this special trip - can’t recommend him/the Best Driver car service enough 🇬🇷❤️

We had a wonderful experience using SBD. The service was originally recommended to us by our hotel and we are very glad they did! Our hotel was in Imerovigli which requires a car if you want to go to Oia (where many popular restaurants are). Our first driver was on time, professional, and also gave us some interesting facts and history about the island.
We wanted to explore the Oia area for a while and didn't know when we wanted to be picked up so when I called SBD at about 11:30pm for a ride, he immediately called me back and said someone would be there within 10 minutes. When we went to the location to get picked up our driver was actually there in about 5 minutes early!
I would recommend using SBD from the ferry or airport even if your hotel offers a pick up service because it will likely be cheaper and probably better than most hotel shuttle vans.
Lastly, I want to point out SBD's honesty. When we were leaving the island to go to the ferry port I had accidently paid twice but Konstantinos reached out to me and figured out a way to send my money back (even though I was back in the U.S.). I will definitely use them again when I go back to Santorini.

I found Kostas after looking for a good tour in Santorini for 2 couples, I found that he reply to my requests very soon and that it was an easy organization process, the price we believe was fair for the services and the private tour. We arrived to Santorini on an NCL cruise and it was the perfect combination. Dimitri greed us with a smile and he tailor the trip for our tastes, the places were amazing and got the best views of Santorini and also Dimitri took beautiful pictures of us. He was very helpful, nice and a good photographer! The cars inside look like new Mercedes Benz, they were impeccable and they run very smooth. Thank you for all your help Kostas, and for your wonderful driver Dimitri, and the wonderful people we found in Santorini,

We had an incredible day in Santorini thanks to our amazing driver, Aggelos. From start to finish, he made our experience unforgettable. Aggelos was extremely knowledgeable about the island, but also so easygoing and friendly, which made exploring the beautiful sights with him a real pleasure. He spoke excellent English, making communication effortless for our small group! He was flexible and allowed us to enjoy Santorini at our own pace, ensuring we got the most out of our time on the island. If you're looking for a truly special experience, we highly recommend booking Aggelos. He made our day one we will never forget!

We used a travel agent to come to Greece and decided to book SBD on a whim for our free day in Santorini. We are so glad we did!!! The owner is so responsive to message, he will recommend custom tours for couples depending on your preferences. We did a wine tour at 2 wineries and a Fira tour. Our driver was Chris and he was THE BEST. From the second he arrived he was very warm and personal, we knew we were in safe hands! He took us around the wineries and a personal little walking tour around Fira, also he took sooo many photos for us! Traveling as a couple is tough but we are grateful he took so many amazing shots for us. Do yourself and favor and don’t hassle with the taxis, SBD is very fairly priced and they are a great company to provide custom tours! 10/10 would recommend again, thanks so much Chris!!!

The only way to tour Santorini!!!
Our driver “Aris” great fun & Very professional
Communication was great. What app messages the day before and the morning to let confirm times.
We were unsure how long it would take us to get from our cruise ship to the port due 3 ship in port that day but Aris was flexible with the times.
Aris met us at a small coffee shop a fewmin walk away from the busy port at 10am.
Aris’ taxi was clean & air conditioned with bottles of water and cold wipes. A Proper VIP experience.
He took us to all the sights in Oia before the crowds & then to wine tasting at and nibbles for lunch.
He then took us to the highest
Point on the island for photos and on the way back to the port he took us to a local small village town square away from the tourists traps.
We were back to the port around 3pm He dropped us at the same coffee shop he collected us at. ( the traffic at the port was crazy)
He then recommended a few bars that for the best views at the port!!
The cost of the tour was €80 an hr and worth every cent.
Excellent experience & way to enjoy Santorini!!

SBD was called for us by an establishment that holds onto luggage. We didn’t know what to expect, except when the person who called our taxi said the minimum fare is 35€. Seemed steep, but even Uber start at 36€ before surge pricing.
Dimi was our driver. He showed up earlier than expected, which was great as we were told it would be ten minutes. The car was a nice black Mercedes sedan, clean, air conditioning was on and the car cool as soon as we got in. He also insisted on loading and unloading all our baggage.
The ride itself was less than ten minutes and we felt safe throughout. Dimi was very polite, cracked a few jokes, but also knew when it was time for just my partner and I to exchange some words. In other words, Dimi knew when to engage, and when not to.
When we return to Santorini, SBD, with a request for Dimi, will be our first call for our transfer needs.
