Highly recommend - Highly recommend! Just read if the transfer picks up at your hotel. They messaged me that they didn’t so we drove to the port & parked, it was super simple. Getting our boat ticket was super easy! I loved that it was informative on the bus and then we were left by ourselves when we got to the two cities. I loved it all. We are so happy we did this day trip. We went in may so it wasn’t super crowded.

A very pleasant visit to Santorini - Very tiring day but we are delighted with our excursion to Santorini. The agenda was very tight but we were able to hang out with Oia and Fira, enjoying their cliffside architecture. The boat trip was very nice, the seats so comfortable and on the way back we loved the concert given. All the travelers were flushed but we could see them dancing to the sound of a wild Sirtaki! Point of improvement: when on the way, the bus drops us off at the port, let us be taken care of immediately because we all wondered what to do...

A full on day to Santorini - A tiring day with an early start and late return but worth the effort. Ferry was excellent if a bit chaotic getting tickets in long queues so allow plenty of time to sort. Journey over was pleasant enough and passed quite quickly. All well organised with bus numbers and explanations by the crew so you know what to expect when you arrive. Our guide Yannis and driver were absolutely fantastic. Our safety and security were paramount which was excellent to see. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable getting us back to ferry just on time under difficult busy conditions. A beautiful busy day. Would recommend.

Superb but tiring - Excursion booked via discoverycrete a hersonissos Day where you can see fira and oia It's beautiful... Made in August in full sun and with many people and in April with .. very few people Pay 160 € in April 2025 On the other hand very long day with 30 to 40 min from the bus. Then 2 h 15 by boat then 30 to 45.min by bus before seeing Óia ... Then Fira the capital .. then again 30 min bus then 2h 15 boat then back to the hotel ... In short it is beautiful but tiring If.you can do 3 days on the spot do it otherwise ..it will still be a beautiful day

Marathon day for not much - Not enough time to visit. Very long day transportation to just take qq pictures. Very disappointed. We were looking forward to this day. The Guide talked to us only about cathedrals and wasted a lot of time talking ..

Santorini d.i.y. - Place was wonderful the tour was rushed the guide entertained but many of his historical facts were wrong. Value for money the ferry cost €13:50 the island is 26 miles long a good Google and a few taxis would have been better and much cheaper

We got to the port for... - We got to the port for 7am first in line and they couldn’t find our name on the list so told us to wait aside until the queue had ended.. this was a very long line. I contacted the tour operator after 20+ minutes not really any resolution. Eventually 10mins before the boat was due to depart we were given a ticket and a reply came back from the tour operator to ask how we were getting along and then 8.30 we did receive a call from the tour operator. We used Viator many times in many countries, this is our worst experience, plenty of tour companies we can use in the future
