Great day trip - This was a great day trip. The guide was very knowledgeable of both historical and current events. Wish we had a little longer in the towns but that was based on the ferry schedule.

Ok if you can run everywhere - Ferry seats were isolated in small area, almost like "quaratine" on way to Santorini and way back. Not enough time given to explore. After eating lunch, barely enough time to explore before having to return to buses. Tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful. Trip overall was a bit disappointing due to the time allowed on island and ferry "cheap seats".
