In the morning I could not hear any of the guide's information due to the driver talking loud on the phone and signalling all the time. In the evening the return was a total mess with the passenger lists - I was not even on it. Driver was going to hotels where no one is dropping off and so on.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 23 reviews · 6 hours · from $1,264

Tour Akrotiri, the Lost Atlantis Experience, and a volcano cruise with optional crater hike and hot-spring mud baths from Santorini.

“Picked up on time, however some confusion once arrived to port. Seemed as if driver wasn’t aware of the different tours passengers booked, therefore my boyfriend and I were placed on a later boat, not taking off for the volcano and hot springs until 11:00. The tour description listed us visiting Akrotiri first, therefore we did not follow timeline as listed when booked. This then made us late to visit Akrotiri and arrived at 14:00 which they closed at 15:00. So, in all was very disappointed in the communication and timing of day. The views were 5/5 and Santorini in itself is beautiful!”
