Our guide was so friendly and accommodating. Our family had not had a chance to eat lunch because our ferry ran late so he made a quick stop for us to get some gyros. He was very knowledgeable about Santorini’s history as well as the different wines. He was so enthusiastic and pleasant. We were the only family on the tour, so he was able to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel. We loved the three different wineries and pairings. Read more
