“Best Way to See All of Santorini - I cannot give enough praise for this tour and our guide Mary. We were able to see almost the entire island, north to south, with walks through Oia and Fira, views of the windmills at the top of the mountains, visit with drinks at the black sand beaches, stop at the Akrotiri archeological site, and two wine tastings at a small family sized and modern middle sized vineyards. Perfect way to see the island and Mary was super knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating of all our requests!” - Reviewed on 2024-04-09

“Amazing day - Went on 6 hr trip around Santorini with partner and 2 friends we met here 2 years ago. What can I say….from start to finish Nikos was brilliant. Such a friendly man. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the island. We went to parts of Santorini we would never have seen if we hadn’t gone today. We went to a traditional wine museum which showed us the history behind wine making and tasted 4 lovely wines. On the way back we went to a restaurant where the produce is fresh from the farm….the food here is amazing. This trip is a definite must do for anyone wanting to see parts of the island. We were not rushed and Nikos made the trip unique to our needs unlike some trips which are often just set places to visit.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-07
