Everything was great due to Galina, the guide. But the company did extremely bad. Nobody had informed us that the guide would have waited us in Santorini, not in Heraklion. We arrived at the port by 7:00 a.m. and found no guide. We did not know what to do for a long time.

The trip was great! Everything was well organized. The sea Jet boat from Heraklion to Santorini was great, with a cafe on boat such that you could buy breakfast there if you hop on the bus early in the morning (for me it was 5:50 am). The local guide was very friendly and talked a lot about the history of Santorini and also gave useful suggestions about where was the best location to take nice photos.
