Trip was good but was told once in Oia to be back at the bus for 2015. Sunset was at 2016! Took 10 minutes to walk back so we missed the best sunset we’d seen in the 5 days we’d been here. We should have got the bus back at 2030 Very disappointed
A great experience!

I was picked up on time, by my hotel. There were 5 of us. We were taken from Oia , went across the island to Akrotiri Lighthouse. along the way, we went past a number of places. Our tour guides were local, very knowledgeable. They told us the history of Santorini, as well as the modern life in Santorini, the challenges and the opportunities the island and its people are facing. At the end of the tour, we were take to the "3 bells" to see the iconic sunset (not in Oia!) One of us had a flight to catch after the tour. The tour guide was so kind. She dropped the rest of us off and took this person to the airport. Excellent service! Thank you so much for the tour. It was A great experience! I highly recommended!
