★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,822 reviews · 5 hours · from $117

Review of Santorini’s Gold Catamaran Cruise, with Red Beach swims, hot springs, snorkeling, BBQ, open bar, and hotel pickup.

“The experience was 10/10. This was one of the excursions we did for our honeymoon. The views were beautiful and food was great. Some things I would love to share for the next group: - One of the stops to swim is near the volcano, they don’t suggest you wear light color swimwear because of sulfur in the water. - Bring a light jacket/sweater for the ride back if you are doing sunset. - They provide everything, water,’sodas, beer, wine, a light app, and dinner. - They have a room downstairs to change too. Ammos, and the crew were amazing. So friendly and genuine.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,130 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $71

Review of Santorini’s full-day bus tour with Akrotiri, Emporio, wine tasting, Perissa Beach, and sunset in Oia.

“The tour was great and our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. Docking the two stars because we didn't visit the Akrotiri Archaelogical Site as this tour states. We weren't given an explanation other than "This tour doesn't go there, another one of our tour does", but we booked this one, the one that included it, and we were definitely in the correct tour as we were called by name. It was a bit disappointing as that was the main reason we picked this tour over the others.”
