Great activity and worth the value! You get to see so many sights in a day without the hassle of figuring out transportation. You go to super cute Vinery for a quick wine tasting. You go to the black beach for lunch and have time for a quick dip. You get to the very touristy Oia and watch the sunset. And a few other things. If you want to cover a lot but don’t have much time then book this activity! Also our tour guide, a lady who was watching a mother in laws chickens at the time was hilarious and very informative! Sorry can’t remember her name
