I read some reviews which...

5.00I read some reviews which weren’t so good, about the crowds, the weather, disorganization… but I loved it. Yes, it was crowded, but so many people want to see this beautiful island. Walk a little and the crowds thin and you can see the majesty of this place. Yes, it was hot and the voyage was a bit bumpy, but it was summer, and nobody can control the weather or the waves when it’s a little windy. In fact, the breeze was nice on the island to cool you down. Yes, it was very chaotic at times, but if you listened to instructions and got on the bus you were allocated to, and stuck to their timetable, it actually ran smoothly. I loved the day and the island.
Beautiful

4.00Absolutely recommended, very good and prepared guide, the only thing to keep in mind is that the actual time available to visit santorini are 3.5 hours, the rest of the time is wasted on ferry and bus
Amazing guide

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
