Great day with Yiannis. We took the first tender off our ship and met him early which was a good move. We stayed ahead of the crowds. He took us all over Santorini and gave us great information and details. After learning the history and seeing many beautiful scenic sites, he took us to a winery. He guided us on a tour of the cellar which was so interesting. We then had a delicious Greek lunch with wine pairing and Yiannis, as an experienced wine expert, imparted a lot of information about the wines. They were perfectly paired with the delicious food we had. The winery also ships to the USA which, of course, we took advantage of. Santorini has the best wines in Greece and really, some of the best anywhere - you can’t go wrong. Yiannis is a great guild and everyone in my group of 6 had a great time. Thank you Yiannis for a great day!

Yiannis was great. He lives on Santorini and has local knowledge of the entire island. He took us to all the most important sites and gave us the detail history of the iIsland’s past. The wine tasting and private lunch at one of the island’s Wineries was most enjoyable and informative. Yiannis has a in-depth knowledge of the wine produced at the winery and even took us out into the vineyards to show the different grape varieties. He goes out his way to accommodate his guest on the tour of the Island.

Yiannis was an exceptional tour guide - one of the best we have ever had. He is deeply knowledgeable about wine, food, and Santorini’s history. Yiannis is lovely to spend time with and both family and disability friendly. We give him our highest recommendation and can’t believe we were so lucky as to have him as our guide on Santorini.

We had the most amazing day with Yiannis!! He was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We were able to see so much and squeeze in a few wine tastings also. Yiannis picked us up at the airport and arranged for a rode back to the airport (Thank you Demitris as well!) after we had a few hours of self exploration of Fira.

We had a fantastic tour with Yiannis, who helped us avoid the worst of the crowds (which in mid-October were still intense) while showing us a few of the best places to take photos. Then we went to one of the best wineries on the island for wine tasting and lunch. Yiannis, a sommelier, led us through the tasting, and the food wildly exceeded expectations. One of the best tours I've ever been on.

Yiannis was an excellent guide; and took us to the most fabulous winery/ restaurant!! Our group of 9 was accommodated very comfortably. To top things off, Yiannis was very knowledgeable of Santorini and Greece. We highly recommend Yiannis and this tour!!

Meeting location

Fira, 847 00, Greece

If you're a cruise passenger, the meeting point is at the top of the cable car. I will be waiting there with a sign displaying your name. We will also stay in touch via phone or WhatsApp on the day of the tour. If you’re staying at a hotel in Santorini, please note that some areas are built on steep streets, making parking impossible. As a result, there may be instances where I cannot access your specific hotel, but I will send you detailed instructions and the pick-up point after your booking.

  • You can request a specific meeting location (for example, your hotel) during the checkout.
