Pyrgos Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had the most amazing day with Anna. She is not only knowledgeable and professional she’s also warm and kind and brings you in and lets you feel like part of the family. We cooked a delicious, healthy and filling vegetarian meal. Then we ate it outside under a massive Ficus tree. We left with full bellies and new friends!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Milos was an excellent driver and a fantastic guide to the farm. Anna was truly unmatched in sharing her knowledge about the farm and the history behind Mr. Petros’ vision and Mike’s dedication to the farm. Anna was also a wonderful cooking teacher and took the time to explain the origins of all the ingredients we used. The tomato fritters were absolutely delicious, and the dessert featuring the farm’s own sun-dried tomato sauce was such an unexpected and delightful treat! We highly recommend this tour and excursion to the beautiful town of Megalochori. The residents of the village were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the experience even more special. Thank you, Mr Petros, Milos, Anna, and Mike for such a memorable and enjoyable day!

Brilliant tour - picked up at hotel (don’t worry if it’s not listed I think they collect everywhere). Really lovely and knowledgeable guide Theo. Stopped at Oia for about an hour - lovely lanes and sights, then a traditional village and cave house, vi years and sunset. He shared lots of knowledge and really made a great day. We were on the afternoon trip and wondered about food but you can order food at the vineyard. Dropped back at hotel about 8:00

This was the best day tour ever. Will was very informative. We learned more about the island and saw more than we ever could have on our own. We followed the day trip with a private sunset picnic. Once again, it was a great experience all the way around. Argyros is highly recommended…!!!

Great! Very helpfu!! Friendly

Our trip was made infinitely easier by RoadTales — we organized multiple pickups and drop offs throughout the course of the trip and our driver was kind and patient, offering recommendations for the island. Highly recommend!!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing food and very tasty wine. Highly recommend this little oasis!

Very high end food and wine experience in a beautiful garden. One warning, come hungry, come hungry, come hungry. Beautiful 6 course meal. Learned so much about Santorini wine from the highly knowledgeable sommelier.

Anna did an excellent job with our class. She was knowledgeable, kind and you could tell had so much love and care for what she does. The food was incredible and the experience was unforgettable.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We spent about six hours touring Santorini with Manos, though we had originally planned for five. His easygoing personality set the tone right from the start. There was never any pressure to stick to a strict schedule or hurry through stops. When we wanted to linger over lunch, browse shops a little longer, or just take in a view, he was completely relaxed about it. That kind of flexibility made the day feel more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than being on a guided tour.Throughout the day, Manos kept things comfortable and low-key. The Mercedes van was spotless and well-stocked with cold water, which we appreciated as the hours went on. He also had a natural way of engaging our child without forcing it, sharing bits of information that kept everyone interested. His calm, unhurried manner made the longer day feel effortless for all of us.Manos brought us to excellent viewpoints around the island and shared local insights that added context to what we were seeing. He timed the day so we ended up in Oia for sunset, which was a perfect finish. He also offered throughout the day to take photos for us, and they turned out great. For anyone wanting a relaxed, well-paced tour with a guide who is easy to be around, Manos is someone we would happily recommend.

Me and my husband booked the 5 hour tour of Santorini. We loved every part of it. Our guide was Manos and we could not have asked for a better guide. He was helpful, kind , energetic and so informative. We got to know so much about the local culture.

I used Argyros Travel Transportation to get to my cooking class and I had a positive experience. The booking for transportation was set by the cooking class we booked through Cool Destinations. This transportation was smooth and straightforward, and the communication from the transportation agency was timely and professional. The vehicle arrived on time, which I really appreciated, and it was clean and comfortable throughout the journey.The driver was knowledgeable of the routes, and prioritized safety, making the trip feel reliable and stress free. Jorge was very friendly and made the ride there feel short. He shared his recommendations which I appreciated! We enjoyed our transfer with them!

Phenomenal private tour with Angelo who was a great guide with a wicked sense of humour. We learnt so much about wine and how it is made in Santorini finishing with a friendly cooking class of class Greek foods. We highly recommend this tour, it is worth the investment.

This was truly an amazing experience. I have been coming to Santorini since I was 20 I have bee 6 times. The first four times were about partying and now my wife and I try to enjoy the culture. I wish I did a this experience when I was 20 because it opened my eyes to what Santorini is really all about. Ana was our guide in three hours I felt like we met a friend for life. We cooked, we explored and most of all we talked about life. My wife and Ana could have been sisters they chatted like family and Ana educated us about food, history and most important family. This was an experience we will never forget and we hope to stay in touch with Ana in the future. Her boss is a lucky man to have her and her husband work his farm.

This tour was a great way to see Santorini’s highlights. Hotel pickup and drop-off were also very convenient.Theo was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, funny and flexible. He was also kind enough to take photos for me, which I really appreciated as a solo traveller! Of course, the other couples in the group were also happy to take turns having their photos taken. Manos was an excellent driver, especially on the narrow cliffside roads.Our tour included Oia, Megalochori instead of Pyrgos, the highest point of the island at the monastery and a wine tasting. Visiting Oia during the tour was especially helpful since I wanted to return later for sunset. The wine tasting was also a lovely addition and a nice way to experience some of Santorini’s local wines.Argyros Travel was very responsive and accommodating, even when I changed my mind a few times about including the wine tasting.Highly recommend this tour if you’re short on time and want a great introduction to Santorini!

This 5 hour tour is phenomenal! We would have never seen all the places we saw on our own. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew where to get the best photos! He took many pictures of us and not a single one was bad! He was personable and encouraged participation from everyone, teaching us Greek words along the way. We definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Santorini for the first time!
