15 Best Santorini Day Trips from Crete

“Both our guide and trip was excellent. With tips from our guide, we were able to explore both towns on our own.”

“Kids had a hard time on the ferry there as we hit very rough seas, but the tour guide was friendly and the views breathtaking. We took some anti-nausea meds from a Santorini pharmacy on the way home and the ride was much more pleasant…”

“Excellent overall, but it could have had more time to spend in the cities because it was very crowded and it took a long time to see the places and take pictures and hardly any time to take a break or shop”

“The guide was informative, the activities well planned and everything was on time. The guide offered extra information when requested and was very pleasant. We highly recommend this tour company. Santorini was beautiful and the optional Caldera boat ride was a pleasant addition.”

“Onze gids kon Nederlands en was heel aardig en vertelde enthousiast veel over het eiland. Oia zelf was heel erg druk zoals verwacht. De 2e stad vonden wij persoonlijk veel gezelliger en leuker om te winkelen. Jammer was wel dat de optie voor vulkaan bezoek…”

“Santorini itself was beautiful. The problem was the sheer amount of people ( I'm talking thousands) and coaches there due to the cruise ships We only had 1 hr 20 mins in Oia, and less than 2 hours in Fira. By the time we'd queued…”

“Expérience Stressante Nous avons beaucoup de difficultés a trouver le point de rendez-vous pour récupérer nos billets de bateau. Le guide n’était pas présent à ce rendez-vous et nous n’avons fait sa connaissance qu’à santorini. Ce n’est pas si grave mais nous n’étions pas prévenu.…”

“The guide Alexandria was great! The bus driver was very skilled, those roads are wild! The views were breathtaking but happy we visited Santorini in low season as the crowds were nuts! If you took this tour in high season, you would need more time…”

“Great experience! They do not know what to do with mobile vouchers, so be sure to print your voucher before going on the excursion.”

“The tour guide Patricia was awesome!!! She shared a lot of the history of the places with us. I don't recommend this tour because I don't feel that it worths the money paid (~US$200) and you don't get to see much in this time-limited day…”

“The coach to take us to the port was very efficient, arrived on time and it was lovely watching the sun rise. The high speed catamaran was very informative on what the activities were, how to book additional activities and that the tour guide on…”

“1. This is expensive for what you get: a ferry ride to Santorini, then a bus ride to Oia (where the blue domes are) and Fierra. You do get some time to explore. You can choose option of seeing volcano for an extra fee. 2.…”

“Professional, comfortable, wonderful views”

“Be prepared for crowds! VERY long day, but well worth it. You are bussed from the port to two separate cities on the island, given time on your own at each, then bussed back to the port.”

“Meeting at the Seajet kiosk was easy and the trip to Santorini was excellent (although the seas were rough) with fantastic facilities and staff. The tour of Santorini was straightforward and we had time in Thera and another town to walk around. If cruise ships…”
