Great day well... - Super busy day: walk on the volcano with lots of explanations, two swimmings including one in the hot water springs, a beautiful sunset, a good meal and a very good atmosphere on the grave boats to our guide and his crew

- An amazing day! Very efficient pick up service. Boat very well maintained with clean toilets. Reasonably priced bar. The guide put a lot of effort into giving an informative presentation on the volcano (in 3 different languages). Swimming stops were good and plenty long enough. The evening meal served was basic but tasty Greek cuisine and plentiful. The views of the sunset were spectacular and the celebration dancing on the sail back was good fun. A very memorable day.

Amazing experience, very welcoming, superb tour! - This tour was the perfect activity to wrap up our trip to Greece. Toto, the tour guide was phenomenal on the way up to the volcano, during dinner, and dancing on the boat. The views from the boat were breathtaking, the food was excellent, the swimming was very refreshing. Everyone on the hast was very courteous and welcoming. Lifting the sails on the boat to see the sunset made it even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour. Truly out of this world!

Great one day trip to see... - Great one day trip to see a lot of Santorini, including the beautiful sunset. The hike to the top of the volcano is worth the amazing view. The food and drinks were decent.

Great fun with a group of girls. - Take proper shoes if you want to do the volcano walk, we stayed on the boat at the bar during this time as didn’t know about the footwear. The hot springs was fun, so was the extra swim stop before dinner. Dinner was pretty good, not so much the wine that was served with dinner. Thank good for the bar, prices were ok 4 euro a beer. The music, dancing after dinner was a highlight.

Lovely way to enjoy the natural beauty - We booked the hotel pick up and it worked really well, taking us to the newer port and getting on our boat before going to the old port. It meant we avoided the ‘donkey’ steps and cable car queues. (We’d already done both the day before). The boat was clean and comfy and we weren’t packed on like sardines. The bar had a reasonable selection of cans, alcohol and soft drinks, and snacks like crisps and biscuits, at reasonable prices. Try and take small change or pay by card. The volcano walk was very hot and tough on my old knees. I was glad to get back on board for a cold drink and cool breeze! The ‘thermal springs’ were a bit disappointing but the swimming at the third spot was fun. The food was cold and fresh and filling and some people went back for seconds. Wine or water provided with meal. The sunset was absolutely stunning. They finished with a traditional Greek dance and some party music as they dropped us back. We had a very good afternoon and evening made some lasting memories.

The beginning was horrendous and confusing. - The beginning of the experience was absolutely horrendous! It was rather disorganized and poor communication. We showed up to the Santorini Mou as scheduled and agreed upon. A man who was not the most presentable nor professional, approached my wife and I mumbled some words in Greek, which we did not understand. It was only after 10 minutes, a person from the office contacted me confirming the identity of the person was the driver to pick us up for the dinner cruise. He was a very rough driver, and he seemed unsure where he was going. He picked up one couple from one location, drove a few miles, then drove back to the same location to pick up close to 6 others. We were dropped off to the location of the boats with no direction on where to go. No signage, no indication of which company this was. Myself and the other customers were essentially winging it and following each other around. To be quite honest, once we boarded - the experience was great! Great time spent. The driver who picked us all up, was dressed rather professionally, and had a sign with our names. I wish they sent him (or someone like him) earlier to avoid the confusion. Although the actual cruise and drive back was great, I would not suggest this cruise to anyone given how it started out. Going to another country to explore and embark on an adventure is great! But when you are paying for some services, you expect some organization and proper communication. The gentleman they sent initially would not be a person to be counted on to represent quality services this business claims. I give this 4 stars solely based on the cruise, and the driver who brought us back to our respective hotels. I would give tell people to run if it was based on how it started off. If this group decides to organize the first half, it would have been a great experience

Buyer beware! They list... - Buyer beware! They list the wrong time of pickup from hotel and will not give refunds. We did not have WiFi so we received no correspondence from them. Miserable experience.
