Well worth doing this tour. Our tour guide John, was fantastic, friendly and funny, and accommodating... all the places we visited were interesting and we had some great photo opportunities throughout the day. They even managed to add in the red beach as an extra. Oia was the highlight. If you want to see a lot with a knowledgeable guide for reasonable price then this is worth it. Thanks John and good luck with the PhD...
