Excellent and well organised - This was an excellent and well organised trip which we would highly reccomend. We were given ample opportunity to explore all that Santorini has to offer and would highly reccomend doing this to experience the same.

Highly Recommend! - Wonderful tour - everything was just as we expected. Would have loved more time in Santorini, but who wouldn't!! The boat ride there was a bit rocky the entire 2 hours, but we were told it's best to sit in the back and middle of the boat, which made a huge difference on the ride back! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend this tour if you're in Crete and want to cross Santorini off your bucket list!

Highly recommend this excursion!! - The pickup at our resort was on time in a beautifully appointed/comfortable bus. We arrived at the port on time and were given explicit directions on what to expect on board the SeaJet ferry and when we arrived. We found our bus and our guide, Lillia was amazing! She was SO knowledgeable and gave us so much history and information about Fira and the archipelago of Santorini. We had plenty of time to see the sites, shop and have a wonderful lunch in Fira.

Overall, the tour was... - Overall, the tour was great. They picked us up near the hotel and the boat ride was pretty smooth. The tour bus and guide did a great job of giving us enough information and plenty of time to see everything we wanted without being rushed. The only negative was that we were picked up too early in the morning which resulted in a 40 minute wait on the bus at the next hotel. The tour company did try to reconcile for the inconvenience by offering us a free tour of the city but it was after we had departed.

A fait EN savoir DE fait! - To do if you absolutely want to go to Santorini, but we spend more DE time in transport than to visit. We stayed 2h30 EN viron free time in each village (Oia and Fira) the rest of the time by bus and boat (+ waiting time at the points DE rendez-vous). Many DE tourists also on the scene, we queue in the streets, we stomp. We were picked EN in the morning to our hotel at 06h and DE back in the evening at 20h15. On the other hand our mistletoe DE Française was very interesting and passionate, she taught us a lot about the island.

Santorini - We took part in a day trip to Santorini, but unfortunately the experience fell far short of expectations. We had explicitly requested a small group, but we found ourselves crammed into a crowded bus with countless stops to pick up and drop off the various participants The schedule for the day was changed without any notice. We had very little time in the capital, Fira, one of the most interesting locations, while we were left for hours in a small fishing town. The latter, under a scorching 40° sun, proved impassable, full of steep steps and without adequate shade or refreshment points. A poorly managed excursion, with little attention to the well-being of the participants and poor communication. I do not recommend it, especially in the warmer months. It was supposed to last eight hours... It lasted 14 hours!!!!!
