    Fun Day in Santorini

    "Kostas wasn’t just a guide — he was the spark that turned our Santorini outing into a full on adventure, keeping all nine of us involved from start to finish. From Oia to Fira to Megalochori, he somehow made each stop feel effortless and special. He even took us into an underground cave house still intact, with multiple rooms and no electricity. It was the kind of place you’d never find on your own. He wove history into stories, and he knew every photo angle so it looked like our group had Santorini entirely to ourselves. Our ages ranged from 11 to 84, and he kept every single one of us engaged, smiling, and having fun. And just when we thought the day was winding down, he made a quick stop at a local shop where we could buy Santorini wines at real local prices and not the inflated ones found at tourist towns of Oia or Fira. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."

    A great way to see Santorini

    "A winery tour is a good option to when it comes to seeing Santorini if you are time poor. Apostolis' vehicle is comfortable and he is a friendly and good driver. At each of the wineries you get the opportunity to try their wines whilst also learning about the history and practices of each of the three wineries you visit. The first winery is a definite must, Estate Argyos, great wines, very attractive grounds and cellar door. The views from the last two wineries were amazing. I recommend Apostolis and this tour"

    Great day out and about

    "Unfortunately Apostolis was not available at the last minute but he organised for the lovely Anastasia to take his place. She was just wonderful and sorted the itinerary to exactly what we wanted. A craft beer brewery and 2 wineries. Just perfect. The donkey brewery was fantastic. We thought lunch was included and Anastasia very quickly contacted management and we were treated to a beautiful lunch at black Beach. Everyone was so accommodating and quick to reorganize transport when changes were needed. Thank you for such a lovely day Anastasia and the Mr Volcano team. Xx"
