Fantastic 5.0

This tour was great as the bus picked me up near my hotel. The tour guide and the bus driver speak fluent English and are very helpful. We started the day from the highest point of Santorini, then the archeological site of Akritori (entrance fee not included in the tour fee) and the wine tasting to the sunset at Oia. Great experience and I definitely love it!

Fantastic 5.0

This is one of the best activities you can do in Santorini. The view of Oia village from the boat is absolutely unforgettable. Snorkeling in the Mediterranean was incredible, and the Greek music and food made this boat tour even more enriching. If I ever travel to Santorini again, I will definitely take this boat tour again. Thank you for the unforgettable memories!

Fantastic 5.0

the location was great! it was just a minute away from fira bus station wherein all the bus lines in santorini operated (akrotiri, oia, perissa, etc). the staff speaks english well. maybe comment to improve on variety of breakfast serve, stayed there for 2 nights with complimentary breakfast but both day service is only continental breakfast buffet. Also i booked only for 1 person but i was suprised that the extra charge for another person only cost €15 which was a lot cheaper than booking for 2 pax 🙂
