For me one day in Santorini is enough, for that this day is perfect and the organization is excellent, this day allows to discover the island. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed, although the village of Oia on the cliff and the view of the sea are magnificent. It's really mass tourism to excess, and it's very expensive, very dirty (normal given the number of tourists). I think it would be good to do as in some places and limit the number of day tourists. Personally I do not regret at all to be a week in Crete rather than a week in Santorini.

Trip was nice and all excursions well reached. But the crossing by ship took much longer and the time window was planned very tightly. The volcano boat ride shouldn't have been. Meal time only 30 minutes (with waiting time) My child ate little as a result and my wife became nauseous from eating hastily. Unfortunately, that ruined our day

The planning and organisation of the trip was really good. I had questions prior to the trip that were answered well. We’ve been on this trip before but we didn’t really enjoy the guide. Rather thank being on a bus with other English travellers we were with primarily polish speaking travellers and we felt we didn’t get a good balance from the guide.
