A must see experience! - What an incredible experience! The most beautiful views in the world! Iconic buildings with delicious food in the many restaurant's. The shopping was fun in the sun! We even saw some donkeys walking up the steps!

Nice tour to Santorini - Santorini is a very beautiful city, you have to see it at least once. Just don't forget that it is full of tourists. We were there at the end of October and it was still pretty full, even worse in summer. I would definitely recommend doing the tour outside of peak season.
From an organizational point of view, everything went really well.
We booked the "volcano tour" on the ferry. Be sure to bring your swimwear with you, otherwise this additional tour is not worth it.

A day on Ssntorini - Meeting at the Seajet kiosk was easy and the trip to Santorini was excellent (although the seas were rough) with fantastic facilities and staff. The tour of Santorini was straightforward and we had time in Thera and another town to walk around. If cruise ships are in it’s VERY crowded. It was good to see the architecture and landscape but the shops and sites were touristy.

A nice yet too thin slice of Santorini - A tightly organized, minimal bundle to discover a slice of the Greek island gem.
The intense pleasure of setting foot and marvel at the surreal beauty of the islands sights is equally matched by the frustration to have to leave the island almost as if in the blink of en eye.
Despite the super early departure, the travel time to the island from Crete and back amounts to a rough six hours total, which leaves little margin to approximations and idling. Every minute there will count, and it's a mindset that's required permanently to make the most of the visit, which can be a burden to some travelers. The two stops at the cities of Oia and Fira last a little less than 4h00 total.. so you have to pick your battles once you're there and know precisely what you want to do, besides taking as many pictures as possible... not much if left to contemplators.
Points go to the efficient organization, with almost no gaps and a strict respect of schedule, as well as to our tour guide Patricia, who was very friendly and helpful – definitely key to the success of this day.

Loved the beauty and history - The boat ride to the island was about 2 hours. Then you have to find your bus. Thank God ours was pink as it was easy to find. We stopped in Oia to see the picturesque white buildings with the blue tops. Much to my surprise, that is the only place on the island that has those blue and white colors. We had about 1.4 hours in each place. Problem was we spent 1 hour waiting in line on these stairs down an alley to take photos of the blue and white buildings that by the time we were done, we had to make our way back to the bus so didn’t get to see anything else. Fira was beautiful but so, so, so many people because the cruise ships drop off anywhere from 1k to 5k depending on how many ships they have. It’s difficult to make your way down the little cobblestone streets for shopping and restaurants. Be prepared to pay a lot for food and gifts. Much more expensive than in Athens or other places in Greece. There are more jewelry stores in Fira than I’ve ever seen in one small area! They are obsessed with jewelry. Would I go again, yes but I’d have a private guide and take a lot longer to enjoy. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and full of historical information. Bus was comfortable. I had originally signed up to go see the volcano 30 euros instead of doing the second stop but because we didn’t get to see the first town, I didn’t want to miss the second. If you don’t like crowds, might not be the place for you.

Interesting experience - Trouble with the booking as it was in the wrong name which created problems at the pickup and pre-boarding collection of tickets.
The weather which made the sea trip much longer especially coming back!
Staff were good throughout.
Time on Santorini seemed short and passed to quickely.
Interesting experience

Save your money - The local agent never answered the email Viator said to be sent in order to get the details for exact time and place of meeting point. We went directly to Ferry tickets and learned that it was other agency carrying the tour. We had 1,15h in one place and 2h in other and turn back. Save your money or choose another broker

Santorini is a beautiful city but not allowed to experience anything. books a trip separately but not in combination with Ora and Fira. - Too much in one day chaotic and nothing seen. Tour guide very busy talks too much. Didn't see anything. Not recommended. Book it separately but not in combination

Bad experience excursion Santorini too long too expensive and nothing seen. - Santorini is beautiful but everywhere shortage was present the bus was late . And there was little guidance. We had to walk like a spear... in short we could not visit or see anything decent. the tour guide was very fanatical and talked a lot so you had to listen to her all the time and she made comments that you had to listen even though you fell asleep she woke you were not allowed to talk. it seemed like we were in a class, that's how she treated you. Kotom too little time to feel the real love of Santorini.
When we were upstairs we could go straight down and didn't even get the time to drink.
Luckily we had booked another boat trip with a pirate ship. That is highly recommended.
The tour guide was nowhere to be seen and we had to figure everything out ourselves.
After half an hour we came back it was a chaos of people and we stood in the sun and there we had to wait half an hour for a bus to arrive. The speedboat from easy-jet was still half an hour late when we got off pirate ship. We had to find out for ourselves which bus we had. in short chaos....no one was in sight yet.. accompanying us. very unfortunate but this is not worth the money! I think we should have taken a taxi that would have shown us the most beautiful parts than in this fast train. Greetings Huub and Nicolle

could be better - My opinion about the excursion is not the best...
We spent too much time traveling and the times revealed in the experience did not correspond...
It was preferable to forego the visit to Oia and just stay in Phira...
We ended up buying a trip to the volcano, they changed buses and our belongings stayed on the other bus, so my swimming trunks were there too... it should be noted that with the trip to the volcano we only had an hour of travel time. visit to Phira who didn't even have time for lunch...
We were scheduled to return to Heraklion at 4pm, when the volcano tour ended and the ferry arrived at 5pm, we spent an hour at the port waiting when we could have made the most of our time in Phira...
In short, the useful visiting time is too short.
