The whole arrangement from the booking to confirmation to transport arrangement and the actual cruise are seamlessly arranged. They leave no room for worries or headache. I would definitely highly recommend this tour for non fussy, doesn't like crowds but won't break the bank as well. Take the sunset cruise if possible..... Santorini has the best sunset.

Stuffed by tenders & no refund

Gillian_D, Jun 2025
I bought this in hopes of getting to take my husband for his bday while we were on Greek vacation cruise .. sounded like a great thing .. but there were so many other cruise ships in port — not enough tenders at specific times needed — I wanted to do this so badly but when I called to let them know .. they apologized as well .. man on phone said no full refund .. however because unfortunate situation.. out of my hands and theirs — mabey partial refund will be—- emailed me and said no refund — not their fault … well not mine either but I get stiffed $240.00 +/- so pissed

Great time on Carpe Diem!
