5.00The most accommodating tour group ever! They contacted us the day prior to inform us we were the only two guests to sign up for the morning tour. They offered us to join the sunset tour at no additional cost or for my husband and I to keep the morning tour. The morning tour fit our plans so we were so happy they held this reservation for us! Our tour guide Elana was so knowledgeable and friendly. The views at each winery was incredible and it was very interesting to learn about the wines and grapes of Santorini. Each location gave you a very filling snack plate with breads cheeses and dried fruits. I highly highly recommend this tour and tour group!
Amazing experience!

5.00Kristen was a great host! She made the tour fun and interactive. We visited three great vineyards and tasted 4 wines at each. Also, they provided meat/cheese platters at each vineyard so there was plenty of food. The views were stunning and it was a great sunset evening.
Awesome tour guide; so...

5.00This wine tour was absolutely amazing. Booking was a breeze with simple and clear instructions on where to meet the tour bus (a very nice Mercedes sprinter). Mary, our tour guide, was a delight! So knowledgeable and friendly and we all learned so much about Santorini wine, from the growing of the grapes to the proper way to chill, smell, and drink the wine. The wineries were beautiful. Plenty of photo opportunities. Great tapas along the way. And the sunset at the end was perfect. Could not recommend this enough!
