A little underwhelming

Marsha_S, Sep 2023

The tour crew were awesome. I wish the tour description explained that the volcano was 1.5 hrs and you need some endurance to get up there. Also, that for the hot springs the boat docks about 50 meters out and you have to be a strong swimmer to swim to hot springs. No lifejackets are offered to get off the boat only pool noodles. Food was ok. Sunset was stunning.

What a wonderful time

The guide Ulysses was...

Joao_C, Sep 2023

The guide Ulysses was excellent, also the times for all the activities proposed. Very complete and a must in Santorini. Unfortunately I think I got gastroenteritis with the food, but I’m not sure if it was from somewhere else (just coincidence?) Otherwise everything was perfect!

Amazing

Melanie_B, Aug 2023

Definitely a memory of a lifetime!!! There was a miscommunication with our meeting point. Just when I thought all else was gone they contacted us, found out location and transferred us from one boat to our boat at the next stop. I was seriously impressed at their determination to get us on our right ship so we could enjoy our excursion. The sunset was breathtaking Viator rocks!!!

Best Sunset

Ron_N, Jun 2023

The crew was amazing. The itinerary had something for everyone...the volcano hike was a challenge but the view was well worth it. The hot springs was very relazing and the dinner was over the top......The view at sunset was worth the price of admission within itself.

Breath taking

Susy_R, May 2023

Everything. From departure to the end. Most amazing your. Will recommend this to any one that comes to Santorini.

Lovely trip

marie_p, Oct 2022

Pick up ..driver did not have us on list, didn't tell us what was going on. let us on eventually but still no communication. Trip.....lovely boat, perfect communication and hard work from crew...could not fault them. Food delicious! And lots of it. Volcano.....only part is safely paved and we could only make it to first point but had lovely views. No good if have physical difficulties. Sulphur pools.... disappointing, and didn't bother going in. Boat can't get close due to depth....just a brown section of water. Sunset....amazing and beautiful! Pick up.... disorganised.... couldn't find out driver or mini bus, very grumpy and rude drive, no communication as to when it was our drop off...just stopped bus and waited... erratic driving, swerving into middle of road .

Definitely would recommend

Holland_G, Aug 2022

The whole trip was lovely, the food was good (especially the interesting dessert which I hadn’t seen before) and the views were amazing. My favourite part was probably the mud in the hot springs. It will definitely ruin your swimsuit, so follow their advice and wear an old one, but my skin was so soft after! It was like a mini free spa trip. Volcano tour was also very informative and engaging.

Not the excursion sold

Julien_C, Aug 2022

Tour reserved on Viator, for 2 adults and a total of 198€. At the old port, the indication sent by Viator was to go the Santo Star shop to obtain the tickets. There, reservation was not the Same as the one booked, it started one hour later, was called « Aphrodite » tour and costs 150€. So I feel that I overpaid the tour by 30%, which is a lot. Second point, the boat was crowded and it was not possible to get a table to eat (we did it with a plate on our knees). Note that when you get onboard at the old harbour, all tables are taken by rhe people who boarded at the previous stop. Finally, the excursion in itself is good, the staff onboard was great, but the price asked by Viator is too high.

Had a good time, not worth the price.

Allison_D, Aug 2022

Volcano tour made this worth the trip. Food was good but nickeled and dimed on the boat. Even water cost extra. There were no refreshments provided prior to dinner time which was 6 hours after we had been picked up for the tour. So, if you go on this excursion, be sure to pack water and some snacks.

Fantastic day out, highly recommend

lisamholden, Jul 2022

What an amazing day! So well organised from picking up to dropping off. I must say the crew on board were fantastic and everything went like clockwork. The ‘after party’ was also a special surprise! Thoroughly enjoyed everything and would highly recommend.

Wonderful experience

Antonia_G, Jun 2022

Very good guide, super friendly crew and is a trip worth doing if you’re in Santorini! A must do! Well done guys!

The crew did everything to keep us safe both on the water and regarding COVID

Heather_R, Oct 2021

Don't let the chaos of the port deter you from taking this tour. When we booked this tour we didn't realize how close our hotel would be to the old port - so we arranged for hotel pick up and ended up in an unnecessary trip to the new port. Operations at the new port on Santorini are clumsy but we got settled on the boat with little issue. The tour guide was terrific and I really hate that I do not know his name. He was able to educate us in many languages and did a good job keeping track of us. The hike up the volcano was worth the trip. The "hot" springs are not exactly hot but are also an interesting natural phenomena - be ready to swim a bit to get to them. On the return trip the current made the swim a little tough and again the tour guide was amazing. He had to rescue a couple of people and he did so with ease. The trip ended with a beautiful sunset and snacks with wine. They were generous with the wine albeit in plastic cups - I would have had more but I prefer white wine chilled. We had a great time talking with the other participants -it was a true melting pot. The crew did everything to keep us safe both on the water and regarding COVID. We chose to disembark at the old port and had an easy walk back to our hotel.

Too long

Gary_S, Jul 2021

The guide was excellent and very pleasant. The whole trip was too long. We decided not to venture off for the 1 1/2 hour walk to the volcano and we're obviously very bored. The "hot springs" weren't even warm. Unless they get much hotter in August, then it's pretty much a bluff. Sunset was beautiful.

Muy buena elección

Gonzalo_G, Oct 2021

Sin duda el guía Constantino ha sido lo mejor de toda la excursión. Habla a la perfección varios idiomas, por lo cual hace entenderlo todo, y acompaña hasta en el baño jeje. Sin duda él ha hecho que la excursión sea top. El treking a los cráteres es un poco costoso al sol, pero merece la pena conocerlo por cómo lo describe en todo momento el guía, y ver la relativa actividad que aún hay en ellos. Las aguas termales no son gran cosa pero también merece la pena verlas porque se nota la diferencia de temperatura. El segundo baño es espectacular, por el azul intenso del agua junto a Thirasia. Y aunque el snack es un aperitivo, se agradece viendo el precioso atardecer. Muy recomendable por lo que cuesta. Gracias!!!
