Made the tour a bit more specific to our needs and interests. We learned quite a bit. There was a small dinner at the end of the tour which was a little rushed. Food was only ok adequate. Overall a good experienceWritten May 18, 2024
- michaelwN313QY0 contributionsGreat tour - highly recommend!My wife and I had an awesome time on our Santorini discovery and wine tour. Stavros was a fantastic tour guide and was so knowledgeable about the wine and his home island. The tour took us to the archaeological site of Akrotiri, the beautiful, traditional Greek village of Emporio, and finally to the Art Space winery where we enjoyed an afternoon wine tasting! This tour was not wine heavy, only stopped at the one winery, but it was a great way to see the bulk of Santorini and get outside of the main villages.Written October 30, 2023
