Not authentic experience, neither a staged one

Santorini Review:
Hi, I'm Lauren, 20 years old American. I've been to 15 other countries and this summer I visited the island of Santorini in Greece. I went to a tour that was advertised on the island, to the Volcano, the Hot Springs, Thirassia and Oia.
We left at 10:45 on a sailing boat and then on a bus, from an easy point to find, right on time. The trip was comfortable, with food and drinks offered, not crowded and with good ambiance. We had a really great guide who was speaking clearly in English, French, Spanish, German and probably Greek. The staff I must say was really polite and professional.
We hiked up the Volcano, swam in the Hot Springs, had lunch at Thirassia, and headed to Oia to watch the sunset. I’ve never attended similar tours and if I had to rate this one; I would say 8/10 for the organization and the quality, and 9/10 for the interest of the tour, even though I don’t think it would interest kids or the elderly. It wasn’t an authentic experience, neither a staged one. I wouldn’t know how frequently the locals would hike up the Volcano, swim at the Hot Springs, and go to Oia to watch the sunset.
The price was very good, and I wish we had more time for each place. I would definitely recommend it to others.
