Book this tour! You’ll love it! - This tour was fantastic! IOTA IS THE BEST!! She made the tour not only interesting, but fun, and very well paced. She was an absolute pleasure and we learned a lot. She also took great photos for us! The wine was wonderful and we loved having the chance to truly get to know more about the beautiful island of Santorini.

Brilliant Santorini Tour - This is a great tour!
Our guide was Yota, she is a born and raised Santorinian and her experience, knowledge and expertise is unmatched! The car was immaculate, modern and very comfortable.
The winery at the last stop was wonderful, all 4 wines were delicious and they catered to the non-drinkers too. Be sure to try the Tomato Paste & Port, both amazing we brought some to take home!
We had such a fun time on this tour and recommended it highly!

Excellent tour! - This tour was great!!! I would definitely recommend this tour. Our driver Dimitris was great and our guide Yota was very knowledgeable on all things Santorini and more than happy to answer any questions we had and share recommendations with us. The destinations we travelled to had a lot of value and we got to experience them with a true local which made made for an excellent experience
We were lucky enough to have a group of 5 but regardless the groups will not go above 10 which gives more of a personal experience. The transport was a Mercedes van, very comfortable and clean.

On the tour with Yota and Dimitris - We had the pleasure of experiencing a highlights tour with Yota and Dimitris. At the beginning we were a bit sceptical about doing something with strangers because the mood depends a lot on it. I hope I can do it again with the same people, the atmosphere was great, Yota answered all our questions and explained the island very well, the traditions and everything about the delicious wine we were allowed to taste. I can only recommend the tour it is worth the price. The bus driver was also great and taught us a few Greek words. Yota Dimitris thanks for everything!

Worry-free tour - I have been to Santorin many times before. We came in on a cruise ship and I was very worried about being on time because if tender operations and the long lines at the cable car.
Argyros travel answers all my questions and took my concerns seriously. Stavroula reassured me the would keep in touch and wait. Nobody ever missed their tours. I felt much better with somebody caring about us. It all worked out fine and I can highly recommend this tour company.
Our tour guide was Harry and he put much effort into meeting everyone‘s needs and keeping the group together. We were 10 pax in the minivan, but Oia was hopelessly overcrowded. Other than that we went to Megalochia, were we saw a cave house, the Prophet Elijah monestary and a winery. Watching the sunset (Thira) was a highlight as well as the wine tasting with some down time. I only wish we had learnt mire about history/ culture.

Amazing Day, Great tour guides! - Yota and Dmitris were incredible. Very hospitable, very kind and laid back. Worked with us when our tender and line up the mountain took a lot longer than expected, and still managed to give us the full tour. Spoke very clear English, which was helpful for first time travelers. Kept the pace at a good speed for our group— not too fast, not too slow. They were able to take a very busy Santorini day and show us the quieter side, which is beautiful! They also found nice shady areas to talk, had a very good air conditioned van, and provided cold water! I don’t think we could’ve found a better tour guide! Small local family company too!
