5.00This 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.
Great day

4.00Overall, 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.
From Heraklion to Santorini snd back - a dream tour.

5.00Wonderful 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!
