The best flavours and views of Santorini in one tour! - If you want to try a wealth of Santorini specialties in a one go, you have to book this tour! Every stop I said "OMG, I wanted to try this!" and then also awed at views and sampled things I wasn't expecting too. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. Each stop felt special, we loved this tour. If you only have a short time in Santorini, this is a great way to experience a walk along the caldera through some of the most beautiful towns and try lots of flavours.

Fun, Interesting, and Delicious! - Kostis was a great tour guide. He shared really interesting history of Santorini at the beginning of the tour and told us about the local food and drinks as we were trying them at each stop. Everything was delicious and we had a great time. At the end, we were able to tour a private wine cellar and ended up staying after with the remaining members of the tour to have more drinks in the beautiful restaurant above the cellar called Pelican Kipos. We loved this tour and are glad we did it. Highly recommend!

Amazing food tour, well worth doing! - Gus was an excellent guide and took us to a variety of local spots where we sampled some of the best food and drink! The tour was really relaxed and Gus felt like an old friend as he told us about the history of Santorini and about the places we visited. We even got to see a secret wine cellar which was awesome! Highly recommended.

Lovely way to spend an evening - Very impressed with Gus who led the tour. Hos knowledge was excellent and we all learnt things we didn't know about Santorini from him. The stops for local food and drink were well planned and plentiful and, by the end of the 4 hours, we were well fed and watered. The walk itself was not too strenuous and could be managed by people of all ages I'm sure. After all, if you're on this island you know what the walks are like!

Worth experiencing it. - I truly loved the experience of tasting local Greek food and so many varieties of alcohol. The best was the last part which was in a underground cave wine cellar that elevated the experience even more. This tour is absolutely worth it.
