FANTASTIC TOUR! - Thank you Gabriel for a fantastic eat and walk tour!! With only a day in Santorini, this was a perfect way to see the island, learn about the culture and traditions, and of course eat and drink lots of delicious Greek foods and beverages! We were also paired with a wonderful family and made some new friends. This tour was recommended to us and it did not disappoint! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! In addition to the tour, you were so helpful in arranging transfers to and from the port for us, and went above and beyond! Thank Laura and Gabriel for making our visit to Santorini so enjoyable and memorable!

Absolutely fantastic, so authentic and delicious - Probably my favourite experience in Santorini. Lena was so friendly and knowledgeable and clearly passionate about teaching us about her culture and food. She was the friendliest person we met on our trip! The spots chosen were fantastic and we tried lots of traditional Santorini food and drinks. Definitely one not to miss!

Great Santorini Food Tour - We had a wonderful day in Santorini on this food tour. Lena was very welcoming, fun, and super informative about Greek food & drink. If you are a foodie, we highly recommend this tour. We liked learning more about quality olive oil and bought some for home. Firastefani and Fira was very beautiful and we had time to get lots of photos along the way. Come hungry as you will leave full.
Side note: if you are coming from the cruise ship, you will need to use the cable car both ways as the 600+ steps exhausting going down. Our ship had its last tender at 5pm and the tour finished around 230pm but the line for the cable car was too long and we ended up taking the steps down. The stone steps are well worn which makes them pretty slippery and you get to share the steps with donkeys and their 💩. Also the sun bakes that side of Santorini which added to the unpleasant experience. We managed it slowly but your knees and nerves will thank you if you can catch the cable car.

Lena was awesome! (So was the food) - Lena was the most informative guide, not just for food but for Santorini. Everyone was made welcome and was asked about our tastes, allergies, etc. she was very animated and shared personal stories that made the tour the better!
