Favorite Part of Our Trip! - This was one of the most memorable experiences! Our guide, Ana, was so knowledgeable and really gave us an informational and fun look into grape and farming in Santorini. It was nice to get away from the crowds and experience “real” Santorini with delicious wine, food, and a better understanding of the island!

AMAZING Anna Maria and Konstantinos - We cannot say enough good things about Anna Maria! She taught us so much about the history of the island. She is amazing. So sweet and accommodating. We loved learning all things from her. If you are lucky you will get Konstantinos as your driver. He was also incredible. He has a great story to tell you if you are lucky. Him and Anna Maria make a great team and are quite funny. We love the tour!!

Highly Recommend - Anna is spectacular! So knowledgeable, engaging and fun! Definitely recommend sneakers and there’s a heavy focus on tomatoes in case anyone is allergic. But the entire experience was very educational & we highly recommend!

Incredible Experience You Will Not Regret! - This was the best part of our trip and most amazing experience! Ana Maria was the best tour guide! She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about her role and we learned so much from her! Visited a small village, learned about the Greek agriculture, wine making, and learned to cook traditional greek dishes with the most inspiring Greek King of our hearts, Petros Oikonomou, he is absolutely God’s gift to the human race! I Highly recommend this tour when I’m Greece, you won’t regret a moment of it! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing introduction to Santorini agriculture, food and wine - Expectations exceeded by this tour.
Our guide Anna showed us parts of the island and Santorini agriculture and food that we couldn't have experienced anywhere else.
Wine and village tours were great, but the star of the show was cooking together at the tomato paste factory.
Amazing. Can't recommend this enough for anyone interested in food.
6 stars.

The highlight of our trip and great value - We had an amazing day! Anna was incredibly knowledgeable and informative and nice. The day started with a pickup in a van that I think Kim Kardashian took to the Met Gala. We felt like celebrities! Our first stop was in a vineyard where Anna explained how the grapes are grown and survive with little rainfall. It was unlike any vineyard we had ever seen. We then went on to tour a local village where she gave us a bit of the history and information on the architecture and the lifestyle of the people. We asked many questions and she answered each one thoroughly and patiently. Next was a stop at a local winery. A lovely place in this little village. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything but we bought 2 bottles anyway. One won’t make it home; we already drank it! We then continued our tour to a local farm. Again I was fascinated by how they grow crops with very little water. On the farm, the lovely owner gave us a cooking lesson. We prepared a delicious lunch and enjoyed it at a shady table outside on the farm. Lunch was relaxed and with ample time to enjoy the food along with seconds and in my husband’s case maybe thirds. I will definitely be trying some of the recipes at home. Lastly we visited a very special winery that included a visit to a museum of wineries throughout history. Very interesting but short enough to not be boring. Finally this winery was one of the best spots on the island to enjoy the sunset which we did with a glass of wine. Anna enthusiastically took lots of photos of us. The day was truly special and memorable and a great value.

Santorini Must Do! - A hidden gem of Santorini! This was one of our favorite things we did while in Santorini. Ana is a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much about the wine process/history. We got to taste many of the Santorini wines. The meal we helped prepare was our favorite meal from our whole trip! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Santorini, this is a must do!!

THIS IS A MUST TOUR IN SANTORINI - This tour is the most hidden gem of Santorini! My friend and I were picked up and met by the sweetest guide Ana! She is a wealth of knowledge in the wine, food, history and all things Santorini! Wine tastings at two amazing vineyards one being tucked away in the local traditional village and one with an incredible view of the island! Learn the spectacular way of farming on this island and help prepare and enjoy one of the best meals you will have of traditional Greek food! Don’t miss this!

The Best Day! - This was by far the best tour experience we have ever had! From stepping off the bus into the vineyards and walking the white and blue streets, to learning the history and participating in the process of preparing delicious and traditional local foods, Ana made us feel right at home. We learned so much about the grapes and wine in Santorini, as well as the history of farming on the island. The cooking portion of the tour was a highlight for us and the rich food and conversation shared together was priceless. We ended the night with the best view of the famous Santorini sunset and a glass of local wine in our hand. We have already met several people on the island and recommended this tour to them. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you Ana, Nick, and Manos for sharing your culture and rich history of this island with us. We’re so grateful!
