Not worth it

Very well organized, nice boat ride, beautiful views, tour guide was good…. But wow is there a ton of walking and climbing— for what seems like forever in the baking sun & it just wasn’t worth it. Sure you get a nice view but there wasn’t much else to do or see. The volcano was just a hill & the hot springs were barely warm. The island for lunch was ok but you couldn’t have paid me by that point to climb all the way up to the town (tour guide said it was about 1/2 hour walk up). Thankfully there were a bunch of places to eat down by the boat.
It was something to do but not great.
Great trip

Felt like cattle being herded around. I regret not booking identical tour but on glass bottom boat through my hotel at same price. They would have picked me up and dropped me off at hotel.
This tour I had to walk to another pickup location and at end of tour they didn't drop me off at hotel.
Would recommend people do other glass bottom boat tour at same price, fewer people better boat and pick up and drop off at hotel doorstep.
Anticlimactic

Don’t go on this tour.

This was the worse bus ride and Start of a trip I have ever experienced. Our bus was packed like sardines, with no ventilation or respective for distancing . No masks. Our bus driving hit either a wall or a bus. When we got out of the bus they were packing the boat equally as full, someone fell down the sea was so rough. We didn’t feel safe getting on the boat so we left. I have been asking for my $$ back for this terrible experience.
Good

Great excursion, but find a different tour operator

Incompetence sums up this tour operator. All the other tours on the boat had their buses waiting at the port when the boat docked. We waited 47 min for our tour operator's bus to pick up the group and transport us back to the hotel after the tour was over.
The boat operator incorrectly said we had only 30 min to spend at the volcano. Yet, the boat didn't leave the site until 60+ min later. Due to the boat operator's inability to speak English and give correct directions, we had to rush at the volcano site and missed out on a majority of the volcano experience because, as we were directed, we came back to the boat after 30 min.

Careless people

I wanted to have a good time with my husband but when we arrived at the island I saw a sick cat more dead than alive at the beach. I took her back to Santorini with me and brought her to the vet. The cat was totally dehydrated and died the next day. I think that also you are responsible to make sure that that the animals do not need to suffer and pick them up to take care of them and make also the owners of the restaurants responsible to avoid this suffering.

Good way to see the volcano, but the rest could be improved.

The volcano was the best part. Really would have liked more time there, however, you had to choose to listen to the information from your guide or explore for a few minutes. Our guide was Dada and he was awesome- spoke several languages and very friendly. The boat ride past Oia was nice but slow. I would have preferred way less time on Therassia as only thing to do was eat and we unfortunately dis not choose a very good restaurant. The thermal waters is basically a luke warm muddy bath, but it was nice to jump into the cool waters after hiking the volcano.
10 stars!

Incredible!!!! We loved every minute. Dada was the best tour guide. It was a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Sneakers definitely recommended for the volcano hike and flip flops and a towel for after the swim and lunch on the gorgeous island Thirasia. Highly recommended!!

Underwhelming tour, better off skipping or finding alternative.

Cons = volcano is unimpressive and just dust and rock, hot springs are just warm currents that ruin your swimming gear with orange mud that doesn't wash out, tour company do not warn you that your swimming gear will be ruined, tour was delivered in two languages by one guide (don't remember this being made clear in advance), Thirassia has nothing to do except pay for overpriced lunch.
Pros = you're on a boat (probably in good weather), music is good, seeing Oia and Ammoudi by sea is nice and staff were ok.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
