Great day tour! - Fabulous tour. Tour guide Harry and super driver Takis did a wonderful job. We learned so much about Santorini. Harry is full of knowledge and keeps the tour lively. Great wine tasting at a beautiful winery. Wasn’t expecting that part of the tour to be so good. Tasted 4 wines plus we had a small charcuterie board. Drove up to Oia (innundated with cruise tourists) which was beautiful but very crowded. Also went to the highest point on the island. Harry made sure we had lots of photo ops and took us to the best places. Thanks!

Beautiful scenery, fun guide, and lovely tour! - Our family had a great time with our guide (Harry) and driver (Takis). Harry was so knowledgeable and entertaining, and between the two of them, they made it light and funny! It was perfect for our family as we have teen/adult aged children. The views were gorgeous and very picturesque. The wine tasting was a nice break with a sommelier with a calming voice and gentle vibe to help us all relax after an afternoon of sightseeing. The sunset was a little more private than the crowded spots on the island so that was a lovely way to finish the tour! Great job guys! Thanks so much!

There is no better choice than a tour with Argyros Travel - This tour is executed by the most hospitable tour guides in all off Santorini, Kostas and Sophie. Myself and family were taken around in a brand new high end Mercedes van that comfortably fit the 10 of us. First we went to Oia get taken to some wonderful spots for pictures, and a few places to avoid the crowds. Then we went off to Pyrgos, a wonderful village on top of a hill where you can get some amazing views of the Caldera. Side note, I highly recommend seeing the sunset from Francos Cafe. We also went to see the relaxed and beautiful village of Megolachori. We ended our tour at Estate Argyros for our wine tasting. There we sampled four different wines, as well as some wonderful chocolates actually made in Austria but infused with vin santo made at the Estate Argyros, they make a wonderful gift. This tour is a great opportunity to see more than just the tourist spots, you get to feel more like a local and shown the best sites of the island by some truly wonderful guides. Thank you Sofie and Kostas.

Highlights Tour with wine tasting. - What a great afternoon/evening - we were very fortunate to have Nicos as our guide - a very informative young man- we went to Oia then smaller village Pyrgos & Megalochori also a Monastry visit with a panoramic views plus a pit stop at a lovely little square on the way to home. Nicos also took us to the highest point in Santorini (don't look down) Definitely worth the money. My only criticism would be the wine tasting of 3 wines the amount of wine given for tasting was minimal. A great tour - thank you Nicos - Pete & Elaine.

A must for visitors to Santorini - Our small group of 7 had a wonderful tour with our guide Nikolas. (apologies if incorrect spelling).
He made it very interesting and was very knowledgeable and charming. We did the tour as described but Nikolas also took us to additional places which he thought we would like and appreciate. He was also very patient and we were never rushed and he was able to answer any queries we had on the island.
This let me see a side of Santorini away from the known tourist spots and gave an insight into beautiful village life.
I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Great way to learn about the island and see amazing views from different points! - We booked this prior to coming here through trip advisor. We originally had the morning one and was able to change it easily to the evening one which started at 4.30. They start the tour in Oia (the area we were staying). It was extremely hot at the beginning but we actually learned alot about the island. We stopped by other places we did not see on the boat cruise as they had a car service drive us to the different neighborhoods. We went up to a monastery as well. The initial part of the tour is alot of walking and then the rest is by car and you stop and take photos. It was a great way to see amazing views from different point of the islands and get a better understanding of the history. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island as she was a local. We ended up a local winery where we got to try three different types of wine and we watched the sun set. We got dropped off in Fria and you can arrange for a drop off at your hotel for an additional cost.
