What people are saying about Fira

We had the most amazing time!! They picked us up from our hotel which was so easy and then we got to the port and off we went. It was a nice small group of about 18 or so people. We met some great people on the trip and drank wine and ate some delicious food on board. The best part was swimming at all three stops! But nothing beats the gorgeous sunset. Photos and videos just don’t do it justice. Would recommend this trip again and again!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. 10/10!

The driver waited for me with my name sign at the arrival hall. Because it's only one person so the car could go straight to my hotel taking only 10 min.

Arthur was fantastic! Took us all over the island and answered any questions we had. Took us to spots only the locals know about.

Very good service, great food! Price performance is right.

Great few. We had a great time even with the rough seas
