Yiannis is a fabulous guide. He is a sommelier and knows all the local vineyards. So no matter your tastes he will find the right vineyard to visit.

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.

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.
