Great activity and worth the value! You get to see so many sights in a day without the hassle of figuring out transportation. You go to super cute Vinery for a quick wine tasting. You go to the black beach for lunch and have time for a quick dip. You get to the very touristy Oia and watch the sunset. And a few other things. If you want to cover a lot but don’t have much time then book this activity! Also our tour guide, a lady who was watching a mother in laws chickens at the time was hilarious and very informative! Sorry can’t remember her name

We had the most amazing time!! They picked us up from our hotel which was so easy and then we got to the port and off we went. It was a nice small group of about 18 or so people. We met some great people on the trip and drank wine and ate some delicious food on board. The best part was swimming at all three stops! But nothing beats the gorgeous sunset. Photos and videos just don’t do it justice. Would recommend this trip again and again!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. 10/10!

The experience was fantastic, our tour guide was brilliant. She gave us all the information and historical landmarks. I will recommend it.

Arthur was fantastic! Took us all over the island and answered any questions we had. Took us to spots only the locals know about.

Amazing tour guide, Amazing trip. It is recommended!
