Wet but worth it - Was a wonderful adventure even though we got soaked walking to the volcano on the one day in September it rained. Guides very experienced and did well at keeping everyone informed. Definitely worth the trip. I'd do it again,

Great mix of activities,... - Great mix of activities, although would have liked more time to spend at the hot springs. Be aware that there is quite a bit of walking involved (especially at the first part of the trip at the Volcano). All in all a good day out, well organised by NST Travel and good value for money.

Views are worth the effort - Nice views during the exhausting hike on the volcano, worth the effort! I skipped the information moment, so I just had enough time to walk the whole path at my own pace. The hot springs were not that hard to get to, if you are a good swimmer. The temperature of the sea in May is a challenge, I needed some time to acclimate before I could start swimming. Therefore the stop was too short. I had no more energy to climb in Thirassia, but I enjoyed my milkshake a lot, the stop was a bit too long without going up to town.

Too bad. - Very interesting at first with the volcano. Totally uninteresting to Thirasia. Nothing to see, And impossible to visit in 2 hours to reach the city and visit it because far too high. Too bad. The small port is very dirty.

Disaster - Too bad that we can not set a score to zero, excursions without any interest, guide not speaking French when it should have, volcano visit paid in +50 euros and very complicated access contrary to what had been announced, then the swimming of the springs supposedly hot were at 16 degrees and 400 m swimming before accessing it you had to be brave the water were very cold, the island thirassia catches very dirty tourists and no interest the village is very high perched time to access it and finally the famous corals are actually rocks. Frankly hyper disappointed with this day that got out was expensive paid

We booked this trip and... - We booked this trip and they said they would meet us at our hotel and last minute they changed the pick up location to somewhere that was a 50 minute walk away so we wouldn’t make it in time.

Terrible communication and poor customer service - I booked this activity with a pick up from my hotel. Last minute they decided to change the location spot. We went to the location spot by the time they asked us to arrive. With no clear directions they wanted us to wait on the road for the bus. The bus ended up leaving us. When we tried to call company they kept hanging up on us and sent messages through WhatsApp. I kept asking the last to answer and she kept saying call the platform. This was the worst experience I have ever had in my life. Terrible communication and poor customer service.

Guide did not meet us at designated place so we had to make alternate plans for the day - Communication was challenging. We missed our trip. Recommend you try a different host. Will request refund.
