Sofia is the Best
Sofia is such a doll! We so appreciated her picking us up and taking us to all the wineries. She’s such a fun person and such a hard worker!
I only wish we’d had more time to sip and explore at each winery. We also didn’t get to experience the sunset version of this tour, which I’d hoped would’ve been a bit more relaxed, but we felt rushed to leave at 7.
Operator response
Dear Ellen,
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with Sofia and appreciated her hard work and warm personality.
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pacing. We're sorry to hear that you felt rushed toward the end and didn't get to fully enjoy the sunset portion of the tour. Balancing three winery visits within a fixed schedule can sometimes be tricky, but we are actively reviewing our timing to ensure our guests have plenty of time to relax and savor each stop.
Thank you again for visiting us in Santorini, and we hope to host you again for a more leisurely experience!
Best regards,
The Team

A Must Do Wine Experience in Santorini
This wine tour in Santorini was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of my trip! From start to finish, everything was seamless, well-organized, and truly enjoyable.
My host, Sofia, was exceptional. She was not only warm and welcoming, but incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, the history of Santorini, and the unique winemaking process on the island. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does, and it made the experience even more special.
We visited three beautiful wineries, each offering something unique. The wines were fantastic and truly a treat whether you’re a wine expert or just enjoy trying new things. The pairings with traditional Greek snacks were perfect and really elevated the tasting experience.
If you’re visiting Santorini, this tour is a must do. It’s the perfect blend of education, relaxation, and indulgence. I would highly recommend it and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Great day with Sofia! Yiamas!
We spent a fabulous afternoon with Sofia! It was like going on a wine tour with our knowledgeable, fun, and witty BFF. We went to 3 different wineries and had delicious wines and snacks. We were educated about all the wines we were served and the history of wine making in Santorini. During the car rides Sofia gave us Santorini history and pointed out things along the way. She gave us tons of recommendations for things to do and places to eat, as well as answered any of our questions. Great experience! Thank you Sofia🩷

Sofia & Georges best taxis
Sofia & Georges were great taxis, I sent a message to the agency, sofia answered me very quickly and she came straight. They were available all the time, every day, even in the evening after 21:30...
We had a great time thanks to them and with them! Very beautiful people who can be trusted from the first exchange! It was a real pleasure to have them as a taxi for 2 young women like us (19 years each).
Moreover, it is very easy to talk to them even if you do not speak too English, at worst use translate in complicated moments.

Santorini sightseeing & wine tasting
Warm and friendly tour guide, Sofia, took us sightseeing around Santorini, including a visit to the old monastery on top of the highest hill, a historical cave house in a village, and other scenic spots in Santorini. Ended with lunch at Greek restaurant & winery with great food and wine tasting experience.

Best tour guide in Santorini!
Sophia is the most amazing tour guide and warmest person ever! I can not recommend her services enough! She took such an amazing care of us chaperoning all over the island. She’s very knowledgeable and funny. Will miss her dearly and hope to see her when we’re back in Santorini again! ♥️

Our trip to Greece was nothing short of unforgettable and a huge part of that was thanks to Sofia. She was pure magic! From the moment we met her, she brought the perfect blend of professionalism, charm, and just the right amount of sass to keep things fun and fabulous. She didn’t miss a beat..every detail was seamless, every moment thoughtfully planned, and every laugh unforgettable. Sofia, you’re a gem. Thank you for making our girls’ getaway one for the books! 🇬🇷✨

Amazing tour of the island with a great wine tasting at the end
From the minute you meet Sofia you feel relaxed and looked after. She obviously knows the island and ants to share her knowledge. I had an idea of what I wanted to see and she shared her thoughts which turned out to be better! Thanks for a great day!
