This is possibly the prettiest place I have ever been, and I am well travelled. Tour was well organised. Guide was well versed. Only suggestion I would have is more time in oia and dropping The main town Turia as it is busy and not as pretty. Definitely do the volcano tour!

Amazing day in Santorini. Well organised, everything is taken care of so you can relax and enjoy the views. The boat trip is really comfortable and the tour guides explain everything. Plenty of opportunities for superb photos. Skip the recommended restaurants and walk further along for quieter restaurants with equally amazing views. Take cash for drinks and snacks on the boat and a charging pack so you can take loads of photos without the worry of running low on battery. This is a once in a lifetime trip that you will not regret.

Everything was great due to Galina, the guide. But the company did extremely bad. Nobody had informed us that the guide would have waited us in Santorini, not in Heraklion. We arrived at the port by 7:00 a.m. and found no guide. We did not know what to do for a long time.
