Collected from Hersonissos @6:30am and back home @7:45pm. Full day trip had fun, organised very well with pickup and drop offs. Visited the Santorini iconic spots had 1.5hr in Oia and 2hr in Fira which was enough for us (didn’t do volcano tour) . Christos was our tour guide gave us lots of information. We went on a Sunday 1st Sep and Santorini wasn’t that busy at all. Santorini a bit overrated but worth it for us instead of going for a week holiday, too expensive to stay over there. 10/10 trip very happy.
Наш гид на Санторини-Галина.Хочется выразить огромную благодарность Галине.Экскурсия организована на высшем уровне. Слушать Галину- одно удовольствие. Она все так интересно и познавательно рассказала, показала.мы даже не заметили , как пролетело время. Экскурсия была 31.05.Спасибо большое. Если вернулись бы и ещё поехать куда-то на экскурсию в Греции были бы очень рады, чтобы она снова была бы нашим гидом. С благодарностью за прекрасно проведённое время.
Kartą aplankyti tikrai verta. Ačiū gidei Skaistei už dėmesingumą, nuoširdumą, organizuotumą bei įdomias istorijas ir pasakojimus.
Tegime tütrega reisi kassa juuli keskpaigas.Selgeks sai tõsiasi, et tipphooajal ei ole mõtet Santorinile minna – meeletud turistide hordid ja metsik kuumus. Saar ise oli muidugi ilus ja saime ka ikoonilised fotod tehtud, kuid siiski…
Oleksin teadnud, ei oleks seekord sinna läinud. Hind suhteliselt krõbe, selle raha eest oleks päris mitu muud ekskursiooni saanud.
Тур виявився дуже важким, всюди величезні черги на сонці, пароплав спізнився,всі чекали на палючому сонці, вільний час в місті Іа година, враховуючи з них час до автобуса 15 хв , величезні черги з людей, зробити нормально фото дуже важко нажаль, в місті Фірм було більше часу, але менше прекрасних архітектурних споруд. Ресторан по рекомендації гіда виявився досить вартісним, хоча позиціонувався як “недорогий”.Гід в цілому дуже мало супроводжував екскурсію.
Враховуючи всі мінуси їхати з дітьми та людьми які повільно пересуваються взагалі немає сенсу.
