No real problems here. The driver arrived on time and was very pleasant. It was however a taxi, which sort of surprised me. If I had known, we could have just had the hotel call a taxi for us.

This tour needs to be redesigned. Santorini is such a special place that you need to spend more than a few hours there. The ferry ride was pleasant but very long each way. You need to add another day to the trip or fly there. I was picked up at my Athens hotel at 6:15 am and arrived at my hotel on the island after 6 pm. I was never told the name of the hotel until I was dropped nearby and told to walk up the hill. It was a luxury resort, but I only had time for a swim. I had to leave for the port the next day at 1 pm. This can be a worthwhile trip if you add another day.

Santorini is beautiful, however this experience is for 2 days of which 12 hours you will spend on a ferry ( Athens to Santorini) , there are air seats however these are included in the bookings, yu end up sitting where ever you could find a seat in resturant area if you are lucky. The hotel was beautiful ( however I wouldnt class it as a first class),but miles away from Iao or Fira . I caught the 7:30am ferry and reached Santorini at 15:45, which does not enough time to arrange any trips, i recommend you book a tour before hand, only problem for me was that I was not informed of where I would be staying until my pickup arrived at the hotel.

Picked up on time by taxi and taken to the pier, however maybe could have done better on price. The taxi meter on read 15 Euro so a little overpriced but they did what they were hired to do. No problems with transfers.

The hotel that was used for the tour was excellent. It was by far the best aspect of the trip. The ferry to the island was uncomfortable. It would be best if the package could offer the high-speed boat as an option. The transfers and organization were excellent.

Nice to have someone waiting for you but probably can do cheaper with taxi.

The ferry was terrible, the ticket didn't include a sit in which we could lay down during the 8 hours of the journey!! We had to pay additional 5 euros in order to get one! The ferry staff was very rude. The hotel wasn't nor 2 neither 3 stars, it wasn't even in Fira (the city centre) we had to take a bus in order to get there. In the hotel they didn't even give us a map. Everuthing very unorganized taking into account that you get to spend less than a day in the island (the ferry takes a long time to get to santorini). Its the same if you get de ferrys tickets by your own and book a night at a hotel, and I think that would be even cheaper. Next time I'll buy flight tickets that are a little bit more expensive but you get to spend fully 2 days in the island and you get to chose the hotel you want to stay in. This tour is a lie, it's noting like a tour and I paid 200 euros per person for it, that is NOT a cheap fare.

Santorini was great but your organisation leaves a lot to be desired. We were given incorrect information and were left chaseing up our coupons for day trip. We had not reference point as it was the weekend and everything was closed. Thank godness for the concierge at our hotel because she made several phone calls and found the agent and she got our vouchers for the day trip which turned out to be a half day trip.

It took 8 hours to go, 8 hours to come back by boat. We stayed in Santorini less than 24 hours. The hotel was located on the East coast away from the main towns and "the caldeira" main attractions of the island.
