Boat trip of a little over 3 hours. Bus pickup at the port of arrival may be a little hard work on this point to find the right vehicle. A little less than an hour of explanations by the guide to cumulative journeys. The advantage is to have a lot of free time in Fira (2.5 hours in our case) for shopping, delicacies and the beauty of the city. Too bad not to have as much time in Oia because the small streets of this village are worth seeing but the crowd does not allow to visit peacefully.

Nice hike

After reading some negative reviews, including the guide, I must say that our tour was nice. Congratulations to the tourist guide named Tea, Italian, who in the short time spent together told us several curiosities about Santorini. Crowded city and therefore difficult to know and enjoy the whole island. For the price I recommend this tour.

Naxos to Santorini day trip

It was poorly organised. The boat was overbooked, crowded and you could smell the fumes which made everyone sea sick. There was barely any time to do anything at both stops as it was so crowded and instructions were inclear about boarding the bus back to the port which causes mayhem. The guide spoke little English and was not at all informative.
