We very much enjoyed our tour of Santorini with Yiannis. We especially enjoyed the walk through the historical parts of Oia. He found the best vantage points to look out and for photos. He was very accommodating when we saw something of interest to us and veered off course a bit. The meeting place was easy to find and his vehicle is comfortable.
Yannis was an excellent guide. We went to areas of Santorini that were non touristy and had great conversations about local life. He showed us beautiful locations and took us to an excellent beachfront Taberna in Black Beach. I highly recommend him.
Yiannis is a true professional. Although we had a general itinerary he was very savvy in anticipating our likes and dislikes, demonstrating great flexibility, as we moved throughout the island. He we waiting for us at the dock on our arrival first thing in the morning, demonstrating his knowledge of the area and its history. A wonderful lunch right on the water. And, he delivered us to the ferry doorway at the end of the day.
Yiannis did a great job. He adapted the tour on the fly and added a wine tasting. He is an expert on Santorini wines.
Yiannis provided a very informative and fun tour of Santorini, including a stop at a great restaurant and winery. And he knew how to avoid the gridlock near Oia!
What an amazing day! Yiannis was great! He custom made the tour so we could see and do exactly what we wanted! The beach he brought us to us a MUST do!! The restaurant that he recommended was loved so much we had to make a return visit! We also learned so much about the island! Overall a perfect day!!
