Top Pyrgos Half-day Tours

I went to this class with three friends. Chef Chris was Outstanding and so warm and patient. Chef Chris made the class so much fun and explained the origins of each mouth watering recipe. It was very intimate and a wonderful hands on experience. I would highly recommend this memorable cooking experience. 🩷

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.

Chef Chris was so personable and knowledgeable about food, cooking, and wine. The ingredients were fresh off of the beautiful vineyard where the cooking class is held.

Awesome experience overall , Mano’s went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Would definitely recommend any activity Mano’s offers . 10/10

Uncle Sam is an outstanding driver! Always on time, extremely friendly, and very professional. The car was clean and comfortable, and he made the whole trip pleasant and stress-free. I truly appreciate his kindness and great communication. Highly recommend him to everyone!

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!

This was hands down one of our favorite parts of our entire honeymoon! Our particular package (which we had booked through their website) started with a wine tasting in the vineyard, followed by a tour of their vineyard, winery, and the beautiful grounds, where they grow their own herbs and vegetables for the restaurant.The cooking class itself was an amazing experience! Chef Chris was incredibly informative, personable, and made sure that we had a great time. The cooking class was very hands-on, following Chris's guidance. As we cooked, he learned more about us and even gave us recommendations about how we could tweak the recipes when we got back home for fun. We got to sample all of the food as we cooked each course.At the end of the class, they provided the recipes to us and then escorted us to a private table with an amazing view, where we got to enjoy the dishes we made, as prepared by their team of professional chefs, along with a bottle of wine. We can't say enough about the class and Chef Chris!

Cooking class @ winery turned out to be private & chef was great! We made Greek salad that we later ate, most fun was cooking pork tenderloin & pictures of flaming dish. We later had meal in their beautiful courtyard, service was excellent. We joined group for wine tasting & all of their wines were delicious! Our group left to go to second winery where the wine was not good.

Great experience our guide was very informative we had a wonderful time I would definitely recommend this tour

This is a must! Our guide Manos was incredible. The love and passion he has for his home shines through. We learned a lot about the culture, people, and history. Manos left us plenty of time to shop and eat. He had great recommendations. It was a wonderful mix of a tour and personal time. I highly recommend this company and we will use again if we go back.

The tour was great! We got to see all the hotspots of Santorini! They even had water in the van. We did it early in our trip so we figured out where we wanted to go back to later.

We visited Santorini on our cruise stop. Manos was an exceptional tour guide. He was very professional and had alot of knowledge on Santorini’s history and great spots. He gave us space and time to explore some areas. He even took us to a lunch spot and food was so delicious. We were back on time. So dont’t think twice and request his services.

we booked manos and his team a few times very sympatic and easy to book, 100% confidence he offered water bottels, very recommend 5/5 stars😎next time in santorini we will book him again

Elvin was a wonderful tour guide! He was prompt and attentive! Thank you for a great day! We stopped at a great local coffee shop too!
