5.00This was the best way to explore Santorini. The ferry ride was nice and clean. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly! We went end of April and it was not crowded at all. Our lunch spot on Friday was amazing. Totally recommend this tour!

5.00The tour and tour guide were great but I was disappointed in the island itself. I guess I was expecting something different from all the pictures and descriptions from family and friends.
Worth it!

4.00I was concerned about the bad reviews but I'm happy to say our experience was quite good. I chose this tour because I heard how expensive it is in Santorini but I wanted to see it without paying as much. While this tour is also not cheap for me it was worth it by having the convenience of knowing exactly where to go and have everything planned out for you. I saw people I assume had taken the ferry themselves trekking on some treacherous steep windy roads. Not for me! Our favourite part was the ride to the volcano and the short swim to the hot springs. All in all a very enjoyable day.
Memorable trip and well organised

4.00We done this trip with Cretan Odyssey on 30th September. It was an early pickup in Hersonissos to make the 8am boat to Santorini Island. We were guided straight to the ticket office where the pre-printed return tickets were handed over with instructions upon our arrival. The boat journey was pretty smooth and comfortable as the weather was kind. Once arrived we located our pickup coach and met our Tour Guide. Firstly we visited Oia which has the famous blue domed churches. On the day it was very busy as a few cruise ships were docked on the island so the narrow roads in Oia were very congested. Still managed to see the main sights and some amazing photo's. We then set off to Fira (capital). This was also quite busy and has similar narrow streets. We then headed back for the late afternoon boat back to Heraklion. Trip was very well operated and the local Lady guide (didn't get her name) who spoke great English and gave great information about the island. Overall it was a memorable day but I would say a bit expensive overall as the boat ticket face values were quite cheap. A long day around 14 hours from hotel pickup to hotel drop off. Still though a once in a lifetime trip if staying around Heraklion.
