Expensive Poor transfer organisation
Disappointed. When first booked trip 6 30 am pick up - changed to 5 55 am. Bus didnt turn up until 6 10 then took just 30 mins to port. Check In for ferry a bit chaotic but opened gate for entry at 7 15. Could easily had 6 30 pick up. We were a three and whilst there were lots of 3-seat groups - we were not together on ferry - but it was comfortable. Tour turned out to be just three 20 minute bus rides to two main villages - very nice. Very expensive. Guide ok but in reality on own for both villages. Trip back though turned into nightmare. Ferry 90 minutes late - no one’s fault but misinformation as said “few minutes late” when 15 minutes away from scheduled arrival. So we missed our hotel dinner. But worse there was no one to direct us to our homeward transport as we had been given nothing on journey to port. We asked several drivers who had no ideas. Therefore we had to get taxi back €28 and a meal in Rethmynon. Very poor organisation and so extra €100 each for short bus rides (transfers poorly organised) very poor value for money.

Too much in little time
Too little time in the two visiting cities of Santorini . I am not so fond of speedtourism and we walked hundreds in a queue out from the buses
Response from the operator: Good afternoon! We would like to thank you for choosing our company for your tour, as well as for taking the time to write your feedback. As Santorini is a very popular island, it often is very busy. We really hope you still enjoyed the amazing beauty of Santorini island and the unique opportunity of visiting it in a day trip from Crete! We remain at your disposal for any assistance. Best regards, DiscoverD1 Team

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Rethymnon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Balos & Falassarna Beach - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
