It’s a long day - I think...

Janet_G, Oct 2026

It’s a long day - I think I would have used the time better if I stayed in Crete to explore the other part of the island. I gave it 5 stars because the tour itself was very well done. Efficient drivers and energetic and friendly tour guide when we arrived at Santorini.

The time of the tour was...

Melissa_T, Jun 2026

The time of the tour was significantly longer than advertised. Having a better understanding of the time commitment would have allowed us to plan the day better. The Volcano Tour (cash only) announced on the ferry was a tourist trap that was not worth the cost paid. It caused the day to be rushed. Lunch, where the tour guide recommended and ate free, was grossly overpriced. €70 for a gyro, burger, fries, and water. Elsewhere, this lunch would have been ½ of this price or less. Santorini was gorgeous. It was truly one of the prettiest places I’ve ever seen. There were just too many people. The tour buses from the cruise ships and other tours went Oia and then to Fire in a line. They seemed to all arrive and leave at the same time. It would be better if some buses went to Oia while others went to Fire. It would reduce unnecessary crowds. I’d recommend the experience, because you have to see Santorini if you are in Crete.
