Reviews
On the positive side, the guide recommended the restaurant for our lunch (not included in the price) and it was delicious.
2. The communication is bad. You will get a ticket with a thousand other people with a number on it. (No one says that) That number is your bus number. Everyone on that ferry is getting on a tour bus.
3. The ferry has food on it. The ferry ride is about 2.5 hours each way. You have an assigned seat on your ticket but you are free to move around.
4. If you want to do the volcano tour it’s a separate $20 a person. You can only purchase this while you’re on the ferry. They will announce it about 1/2 way through ferry ride.
5. Ferry does Not have wifi and only takes cash unless it is close to the island where they can electronically take card payment.
My impression all in all was it was very expensive. The ferry ride individually isn’t that expensive. You could probably not pay for the tour and book a ferry and a guide for a better price. You are crammed into a ferry in both directions like a herd of cattle. And people take forever to move. **See picture of crowd into ferry)**I am recommending visiting Santorini but that too was very crowded, but to me, worth the visit. (It doesn’t help I went during prime season)
