Great tour to see all the island has to offer. Time to swim at Parissa Beach & a ride back to your hotel after a lovely sunset. We did the optional archeological tour which I enjoyed. If you don’t want to hire a car it’s a great option.

A really enjoyable day around Santorini, visiting the main highlights around the island whilst balancing out a guided tour and free time in between to do whatever you want. Our guide, was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour and made the day worthwhile. The bus was comfortable with good air conditioning. Just be aware if you're a cruise passenger, you may have to miss the sunset in Oia like I had to and take a bus back to Fira instead to make sure you're back onboard in time. Despite that, this trip is definitely worth it and I recommend this tour if this is your first time visiting Santorini.
