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.

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!

Coming from Switzerland we have high standards and Santorini's Best Driver surpasses them with all. Kostas' level of professionalism, driving skills and always going above and beyond for clients provides outstanding service. Combined with his broad knowledge base, excellent communication skills and apparently knowing almost everyone on the island, he will not only drive you to your destination but also arrange the best table at restaurants & beach clubs and provide invaluable information to improve your holidays. We highly recommend Santorini's Best Driver and will use his service for all future trips. Kostas is simply the BEST.

We reserved Santos for a full day trip, to visit Santorini's best locations and we came out with a friend! Santos' professionalism, wide familiarity with places and people around the island together with a warm smile,were the highlight of our trip. We visited amazing spots throughout the island, ate a great lunch and ended up enjoying Santorini's sunset. No doubt that this is indeed Santorini's best driver.

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 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 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!

We used the company on multiple occasions and were lucky enough to have Spiros drive us every time . Always on time and always fun, pleasant and hugely informative and knowledgeable , he drove us around the island , suggested places to eat and ensured we had the best time on our first visit to Santorini. He is also something of a photographer and we have a collection of photos unlike any others taken on holiday ! We cannot recommend this company highly enough and Spiros in particular .

Cannot rate our experience highly enough. We booked a 6 hour tour of the island and had the pleasure of being driven by Spiros. His passion for Thira, the Island’s real name, and Greece was infectious and we learned so much more than if we had attempted to explore ourselves. Plus, there’s no way we would have found places to park or been able to navigate the tricky roads like he did with ease and all in the comfort of an air conditioned Mercedes.
We saw all the Island’s highlights and many we would never have thought to explore.
Spiros also recommended a fantastic spot for lunch at the black beach, where we sat enjoying delicious food and pinching ourselves for how lucky we’d been to book the tour.
Thank you Spiros for making our day so special and for the hundreds on photos you took, so we’ll have the memories forever and for the delicious Greek treats!
