“I booked a trip "Santorini day trip with sunset at Oia" at TripAdvisor. The trip is operated by NST. The pick-up location was at the church plaza at 10:05am. I was at the pick-up location at 10:03am, but I did not get picked up. Later on, I realized that there was a bus on the main load and picked up a few people and just left when I got there around 10:03am. I texted and called multiple times to the organizer, but he/she did not respond. His/her name was Dimitra. Around 10:20am, I called NST directly and they said I missed the bus. NST said they will send another bus…”

“I saw the reviews but didn't know what to expect on the shoot. I am so glad we choose Tahir! He is such an experienced and knowledgeable photographer. He met us outside the restaurant where we were eating at and we went straight to work. Rather than just stand and take pics, he made each of us walk and took pictures from different angles so he could determine our profile and which side of the face looks best. He told us how to walk and we did several action shots of us walking with my wife, and then with the kids. He know the places that would give us the…”

Santorini volcanic island cruise with a volcano hike, warm hot springs swim, Thirassia time, and Oia sunset views by coach.
“The event, overall, was worth it. It was a very long day so make sure that you bring sneakers for the volcanic trails. The tour consists of visiting volcanic islands and a we had about 1.5 hours to swim. At the end, we returned to the dock and traveled to Oía via bus. Oía is a FANTASTIC picturesque city with mind boggling views and fantastic sunsets. The boat captain nor the tour guide were very informative. For example, when we went to the bus none of us were informed that we were going to Oía. We were barely given any instructions. Bottom line, it was a great experience and with…”
