THE BEST EVENT

Best thing I did in Santorini!! Aylin was the sweetest guide and SO FUN. They all brought the best vibes and the food is THE BEST. If you do one thing in Santorini it has to be this! We went on the caldera and it was the best time!

A bit poor for 110 per person!

Booked from the hotel. On the bus they asked us to pay in cash and we didn't know that. Very beautiful and spacious catamaran. But there were so many of us anyway, and we hadn't been told. The guide on board sounded like an automatic record, all fake, nothing spontaneous. Food measured with great precision. Nothing extra. In short, with an eyedropper. When I asked to serve myself, for fear I would take more, the waiter served me and forbade me from getting close. And of course... A little bit of chicken (one small slice each), two small salads, bread (one slice each, they saved the other for the next tour), rationed water (there were 4 of us sitting, when I asked for a cold bottle I was told no, because he served me a little bit), the white wine was in the fridge in a plastic bottle. Well, for 110 euros it was really poor. The tour is the usual one done in Santorini. For three people who didn't eat and were with many others on board, 330 euros seemed exorbitant to me.

We had a fantastic...

We had a fantastic experience with the Captain and the crew. They were not only attentive but also very knowledgeable about Santorini. Thank you so much for an amazing time. They paid special attention to the teenagers and kids, and the kids did not want the cruise to end. We truly appreciate it.

5 star day with the ‘Caldera’ crew!

We had the most amazing morning with the crew on the Caldera! From our driver who picked us up to start our day, to our host Julia, and the chef, captain, and crew-we were treated with top notch, white glove service from start to finish. We booked a private tour for just my husband and I, craving exactly that-privacy. The boat is big, even with a crew of 4, we felt like we were given our space.. but our glasses were never left empty or anything we needed not tended to immediately. Julia was a wonderful guide and gave us so many nice tips and info about the island, she was so lovely and sweet! We even talked about how much we both missed our dogs back home, her kindness always felt authentic. And the food? OMG- easily the best we've had in Greece (no but seriously, my husband said the shrimp was the best he's had yet on this trip.. and we've traveled Greece for the last 2 weeks). They were super accommodating to my dietary needs (vegan), and there was so much food... we left stuffed! The dolmas and grilled eggplant, 10/10! All the stops we made were lovely, with plenty of swimming and photo ops! The boat was beautiful, new, modern, and comfortable-we couldn't have asked for more. 5 hours of sailing felt like the perfect amount of time. Thank you crew of Caldera, we can't wait to recommend you to friends, family, and our travel advisors! We hope to see you again soon! -Sara and Don Cowan

Excellent boat trip

All excellent. Everybody, since the reservation, was very professional. The boat staff was extremely professional, friendly and polite. The boat is great. Very clean, apparently new and large.
