Nikolaos was an excellent guide and very friendly. We had an unexpected private tour, and it was so wonderful experiencing the different wineries around Santorini. Each venue was so unique and more beautiful than the last. The food pairings and dinner were incredible. All of this with guide Nikolaos is what made this so special. I would return again to do this tour. , Our guide was awesome!, Wonderful experience!, Well organized!

I'm not a wine enthusiest. My friend is and that's why we went. This experence was FANTASTIC. Our driver/somalier (apologies for spelling) was so nice and knowledgeable. He entertained all of our questions about the island as well as any wine related questions. The wineries selected were all different and the experience at each was varied. Highly recommend. Well worth the cost!, A great experience!, Our guide was awesome!
