Yiannis was an excellent guide for our one day stop over in Santorini. It was a busy cruise ship day so we changed the timing a bit at his suggestion which worked really well. Yiannis is a nice guy with a good sense of humor and a love and deep knowledge of the island’s wines and producers. We wanted to focus on wines as well as some sight seeing so we had a visit to Oia and some unbelievable view points en route to visiting 3 excellent wineries, having lunch on a red sand beach and a sunset dinner that was the best Greek Salad of the trip. Yiannis even served as our Somm at dinner suggesting wines and arranging tastes. 100% recommended with no reservations. Thanks Yiannis!!
Yiannis was the best! He was super warm with us, very knowledgeable about the winery and wine testing -handle really good the pace of the tasting-, he replied to all our questions in a friendly and passionate way, and go beyond that, providing us with recommendations about the different places to eat and have some drinks at the beach. Without any doubt he was a great choice to our trip to Santorini.
I would recommend this tour. The driver was very knowledgeable and provided a great intimate experience for me and my family.
This was a most excellent tour. Yiannis knows Santorini very well and showed us almost everything we wanted to see, including a wine tasting experieyat the end. I had some hesitations to go to Santorini because I am in a wheelchair. Yiannis made sure I was able to attend and looked out for the best way for me to do so. I highly recommend visiting Santorini with Yiannis, if you're disabled or able bodied.
