Great coverage of the highlights of Santorini. Really fun day on the boat. The hike up the volcano was great, some parts weren't easy but definitely doable. Our tour guide was great. The second day was a bus trip with some walking and it was also a fantastic day. Our tour guide was Athena and she was very thorough and knowledgeable.Joe_N

Consiglio entrambi i tour. Il primo è una crociera in una barca di legno alle isole vulcaniche con una guida molto informata e gentile. Chiedete di Costantinos per questo tour (lui è stata la guida). Il secondo giorno era un tour in bus per vari luoghi e cittadine dell'isola (Pyrgos,Emporeio, red beach, Perissa) . Alla fine della giornata era anche incluso un wine tasting e lo spettacolare tramonto a Oia (Ia). Cristina è stata la guida del tour, molto informata anche lei. Da raccomandare entrambi!!
