Almost lost our lives due to negligence of the captain.

1.00The tour was good but it end in almost tragedy as the boat hit a metal structure in the water and there were not enough life jackets on board. The caption did not know what he was doing , did not even communicate with us . The boat was on its side . Another boat had to come rescue us.This spoilt our holiday and trip .. Don’t not take a trip with this company . They have not even responded to my watts apps.
Cancelled last minute on me. Not recommended as an option.

1.00I booked the Skip the Cable Car tour. Coming in on a cruise ship I wasn’t connected until I got on land and my eSIM connected. That was when I learned they cancelled the tour as they didn’t have enough people. By then I on land looking for the tour which now doesn’t exist. So I was out of luck. Don’t rely on these trips outside of your ship. The customer pays the price for the business not being strong. The cruise ships have the other port for bus tours. You still avoid the cable car. so do that.
Incredible day tour

5.00We had an amazing day! Maria took us all around the island, giving us plenty of time to explore, shop, and capture beautiful photos in Santorini. She explained everything we saw, making the whole experience even more special. This was definitely one of the best days of our cruise! Viator never disappoints—they always go above and beyond with every tour. Honestly, their tours are so much better than the ones booked through the cruise ship. If you're going on a cruise, check out the ship's tours and prices, then compare them with Viator's. I guarantee you'll have a better day and save both time and money with Viator. Thank you, Maria, for everything you shared with us!
The tour operator who cares

5.00The tour was great, and the operator was really flexible, accommodating late arrivals with no problem. I was over an hour late, but they happily got me into the next tour that left within 5 minutes. They promised to wait for me and did, which was a huge relief given the long cable car lines and tendering process. The guide, Angeliki, was knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience perfect. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini who values professionalism combined with friendliness and flexibility!

1.00Just had our Viator experience through JAT for the Santorini shore excursion booking number #1172336643. One our guide did not inform us about a change of time and we had to wait for an hour and a half after the time was changed from 1000 to 1100. We eventually fount the JAT office and complained as we had a mad rush to meet the 1000deadline but got there a half hour early, Then for the $395 Aus that we paid we were take to three photo shoots and then taken to Oia for an hour and a half Seriously this is what we paid for, our guide was ok but nothing more I have had since two Emails sent to me about the time change..AFTER WE TALKED TO THEM!!! I would appreciate that this is looked into as we have more tours booked through Viator and expect some value for money and professionalism Thank you Terry Mutch
