Jacob was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable and attentive. The views were beautiful. I wish it wasn’t so crowded but that definitely isn’t something that can be controlled.

Seeing the white and blue top buildings. Trying to get through the streets that we’re not walkable and having to forgive the rest of the island to sit down for a glass of wine and some cherry tomatoes for plus cruise ships in at one time is going to destroy the island.

I must honestly say that I did not enjoy this excursion at all. Santorini is all about the views and experience. I was really not interested in much of what we saw, and we opted to stay behind in Oia and make our own way back to the ship. Felt rushed, and Oia is really the highlight. 45mins does it no justice.

Oia. Fabulous. Wish there was more time to shop. Less stops and more time in each. Great food. Great tour guide. Informative.

This was a small group with a van that is able to take us around in narrow streets. We were told to not expect to see any blue dome prior to visiting this island, but on this tour, there was a big blue dome in our first stop. Super happy with that. George was our tour guide who was super nice and communicated clearly. We are very happy with this tour.

The tour guide was informative and flexible. She gave patrons an option to opt out early to get the cable car back to the ship. The line was outrageously long by the end of the tour.

If you want to do a tour of santorini on your own, be among the early ones to get off the cruise ship tender boat and catch the early cable car to the top of Fira. Once on top, head to the right and walk straight ahead until you reach the bus station on your left. About 10 minutes walk. Take the bus to Oia first so that you can be back in Fira before the crowd build up for the cable car trip down to the Harbour. At Euro 2 each way, this is a steal. Do the blue dome and windmills picture taking and any other that you want and return to Fira from the same bus stop. Firostefani is merely a 20-minute walk from Fira but not much different from what you see in Oia. Fira itself is a nice walk, viewing the churches, hotels, eating places and the caldera. Don't forget the shopping. The queue back to the tender boat from the top of Fira can be hours long so don't do so at the last minute or you will have to make your own way to the next port.

The tour was cut very short and disorganized. The ship was late coming into port and they tried to accommodate everyone which didn’t work well at all. Didn’t see all that was on the tour and the bus was too small.
