Excellent - My friends and I did a private tour with Katerina Who made our visit to Santorini extra special. Since we arrived by Cruise ship, we only had one day and wanted to make the most of our time there. Of course, we visited Fira and Oia but she Also took us to some less populated regions to truly enjoy the beauty of the island. We also did some wine tasting. I highly recommend using this service and told my travel agent about this company as they are top-notch.!!

Stunning tour that enhances your senses - The tour was an all around brilliant experience. Roula and Katerina both well versed on the island and, of course, wine. The hospitably shared all their knowledge and showed us every nook and cranny of the island. The tour enriches the island experience in an unforgettable way. The warmth of those girls definitely added to the experience and the wine was stellar. Santorini is such a beauty and the wineries were impeccable. I would absolutely recommend it if you’re visiting the island and wanna cover as much ground as possible. 10/10

Unforgettable times - Our experience with Katerina and Roula was wonderful. We had a tailored personal tour which was perfect for us. It included a nice overview of the island with visits to two wineries and ended with a specifically planned dinner that included pairing the wines to the dishes we had. The dinner not only provided the culinary side, but the company, conversation, place and view were a plus. Their experienced guidance and attention made us feel like family. Highly recommend it.
