This tour was great as was our tour guide/driver Gregory. He was on time for pick up. He drove that van like a pro. He told us so many interesting stories about the history of Santorini as well as some insights into modern day Santorini society. Audio in the van was good (loud and clear) and I'm somewhat hard of hearing. The winery we visit had the most amazing sweet dessert wine that I had to buy a bottle (and I'm not a wine person at all). The castles and their ruins were so interesting so see. Definitely take this tour, with Gregory if possible, to get a better appreciation for Santorini.

Toña and George are a wonderful married couple who are born & raised in Santorini. This tour was very informative, they shared their traditions, knowledge and history of their rich Greek culture. The wine tasting was a lot of fun & quite interesting. Megalochori was the highlight of this tour. A tiny quaint town with only 200 residents. Overall excellent tour and I will highly recommend if visiting beautiful Santorini. It will not disappoint.

We had the best time with Nicholas during our time in Santorini. He found out what our interests were and created an unforgettable day for us which included everything from wine tasting to sight seeing to food recommendations and everything in between. We didn’t want our day to end! My mom will be visiting next summer and we will definitely be sending her to spend the day with our new Greek friend in Santorini!

Excellent tour. Our guide, who goes by Charlie, quickly determined rider skill level to place us in the right order. Tour was fun. It could be a little rigorous for amateurs but ebike was wonderful and made it doable. Charlie took us to some amazingly beautiful spots off the beaten path. Highly recommend this tour!

Angelo was very nice to travel with. Just the right amount of talking and even played some local music for us as we traveled. He excused himself while we had a lovely lunch at the marina. His choices for viewing were excellent and he had a good grasp of English.
