My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.

We had a really nice experience with the driver. Our plane was late and we made a booking mistake but still got help. He was kind and helpful along the way. I can only recommend him.

GOOOOOOOD MORNING, SANTORINI Much like the early bird catches the worm, the early photographer catches the sunrise! In the early morning, away from the calm of Santorini’s moonlit whitewashed buildings and winding pathways, beyond the jagged lines of volcanic islands in the distance, the sun makes its magical entrance. As dawn breaks and the sun casts its pink and purple hues over the island, when most other people would rather be sleeping, you’ll be there in a prime spot to capture the views, rock formations and stunning architecture on camera. Taking one shot after another to tell your story of the best sunrise in the world. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or someone who only dusts off their camera for special occasions (this is a special occasion), if you have a basic knowledge of your camera and enjoy learning, this workshop is perfect for you. And there is coffee as well!

Inclusions: Professional photographer guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Coffee and/or Tea

Exclusions: Camera, Lenses

We booked Maki to take us to the Argyros Estate winery for wine tasting and lunch as part of our 10 year Anniversary.We was collected in Oia and on the way Maki gave us a history of the island and the winery business here. The tour and lunch of the winery was fantastic and on the transfer back Maki told us anything else we needed just to let him know transfers to airport more tours etc. Well it turned out we did need him as we changed hotels from Oia to Thira but after only 1 night of a 4 night stay the accommodation and service was terrible causing us to make the decision to move at 8.30 in the evening on our anniversary night! So we contacted Maki in the hope he could take us somewhere and he not only did but also found us fantastic alternative accommodation elsewhere for the remainder of our stay. We then also used Maki again for a tour or Pyrgos and Perissa beach plus transfer for dinner and to the airport. If you are to go to Santorini we can not recommend Maki highly enough a special holiday that was turning into a disaster was made SPECIAL again thank you Maki!

There were six of us on this tour and we were blown away. Stella, the manager was extremely timely and courteous in all of her pre-trip emails. She helpfully suggested changing our departure time by an hour and it really paid off. Then there was Theodore,our guide. He was extremely polite, knowledgeable and thorough in explaining answers to every question we asked. His experience and driving skills had us at every location at presisely the best times from start to finish. We wanted to take him home with us at the end of the tour, but his love for his homeland is apparent. I can't recommend this tour and tour company highly enough!

Makis was so great! I ended up at Kamari Beach and had left my travel documents behind in the hotel in Oia. He came and picked me up and did the round trip in an hour and saved me from being stranded at the airport. And he gave me an amazing guided scenic tour of the whole island! He was born in Santorini and knows his stuff and is passionate about the place - so it was amazing to get a local's point of view. Makis also picked us up and took us to the airport later that day. He was on time and is a great driver. I would definitely recommend Makis for any transfers or tours when you're staying in Santorini. He'll be the first person I call when I return!

Rhodes Islanders are a great choice for transfers. Very courteous drivers, prompt service and good value. There were 7 of us so had a mini van and in these difficult times van was very clean, which is so important. Also if it hadn’t of been for their email regarding Greek air strike on the day we were due to fly we wouldn’t have known as Easyjet didn’t email us until much later. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely use again next year.
