Island hopping with Yianni!

Giannis is passionate about Greece and it's culture. I thought he did a great job of inviting us into his country and teaching us about the history and the language - in an engaging and enjoyable way. He was organized and professional, and able to have a laugh with everyone. I really enjoyed my trip and the experience as a whole.

Island Paradise

Such an amazing experience, shared with some wonderful people. The trip had the right balance of organised activities with free time. Both the Paros day trip and Greek night were standouts. Organised transfers and pre-booked ferries made moving from island to island simple and stress free. We were well looked after by our guide, Yianni, who made sure everyone was on time for transfers, gave historic details of the sites we visited, and helped immerse ourselves in Greek culture.

Mother is Mothering

YASSSSS YIANNI!! All day every day. He was such an amazing tour guide, he made sure we were all comfortable and looked after. No one was ever alone because we had Mother there to guide us, chat to us, join us in activities and make us feel part of the beautiful family he curated. The Islands were beautiful, Yianna was very knowledgeable on every city. The history, the theatre, the mythology, food, customs and all the places to completely indulge and enjoy our stops. Island hopping was a well organised tour with awesome accommodation throughout and excellent activities. (so many beautiful swimming spots that almost stole me forever) The pirate ship and Greek night were wholesome highlights, our nights out in Ios are a magical blur that were so much fun and really brought our group together, drinking and dancing the nights away. Overall, this trip was a lot of fun, beautiful sites, great food and wonderful company. I highly recommend Island hopping. And Yianni. 😊 Thank you!!

Island Hopping

Island hopping was such an incredible experience and having Amalia as our tour guide made it even better! The islands themselves were stunning. The food along the way was delicious, and the nights out were so much fun , a great mix of relaxing and lively moments. Amalia brought passion and energy to the trip. She was so kind and welcoming, always making sure everyone was having a great time. She even helped us with our Greek, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel more authentic. I had the best time :)

Great Tour!

Amalia was a fantastic tour guide who has made really good connections with the local vendors/staff on the islands. These relationships granting many benefits that you wouldn’t otherwise receive when organising as a traveller. This included discounts, priority access and better service.

Amalia was great tour guide

Great connections and knowledge.

Amazing Island Hopping Experience !

I joined this trip solo as I had always wanted to visit the Greek islands but was a but apprehensive in booking the ferries and accommodation but Amalia made the experience so light and easy ! Amalia is so knowledgeable on the Greek islands-where the best places to eat and drink are and also just general information on each island. Each island has its own unique personality and something to do for everyone. I especially loved the speedboat day in Ios including tubing which was my first time doing it ! I also loved the santorini day hiking and going to the black beach and winery. I also lovedd the Paros accommodation. I loved meeting everyone on my tour- we were a cute little group of 6 including Amalia who felt as much a part of the group as well as a tour guide. She has an incredible infectious amount of energy which really showed and felt very organised and friendly. She made the tour feel so easy and fun and we did so much on each island ! I would definitely recommend it !

Our guide Amalia made this trip so worth it, she’s amazing at her job!! Great itinerary, great people

Exceeded All Expectations

My Athens Return tour was absolutely outstanding. The entire experience was incredible thanks to our amazing guide, Mal. He was so easy-going, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had the best time possible. His organisation and attention to detail kept everything running smoothly, and his recommendations on where to eat, explore, or relax were always spot-on. Mal’s warmth and energy brought the group together, and he created an atmosphere for our group that made the trip truly unforgettable for all of us. This trip exceeded all my expectations, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, easy way to experience the Cyclades.

Greek Island Hopping Adventure 💙🤍

I had an amazing time on the 11-day Greek Island Hopping adventure! The trip was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and exploring the incredible beauty of Greece. Each island had something unique to offer, and it was truly unforgettable. Along the way, I met some amazing people who have now become lifelong friends, which made the experience even more special. Our tour guide, Marianna, was fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to make sure everyone was having the best time. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough for anyone wanting to see the best of the Greek islands in a fun and memorable way!

Athens Return Tour

I just finished the Athens return tour and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The different accommodations we stayed in were perfectly located with stunning ocean views in Santorini and Ios. The breakfast each morning was delicious. Although I came on this trip solo, I’ve ended it having made friends for life. We partied hard on this trip but we also had chill days so there was a good balance. Our tour guide Marianna was amazing. She was super professional and answered any questions we had quickly and efficiently. She also shared history facts with us on each Island that we visited which I found very interesting. She was so much fun, full of energy and made the trip an even better experience than it already was. Thank you Marianna!

- Kate, 25/08/2025 19:14, Travelled Solo

Greek Island Hopping

This was the trip of a lifetime. Our tour guide Marianna was the BEST! She made the trip, was so organised, helpful and fun. There was so much to do and see and she brought the vibes to all of it! I would highly recommend people to do this tour.

- Hayley, 25/08/2025 09:15, Travelled in a Couple

Greek Island Hopping

The trip was amazing and I won’t forget and have endless stories from, everything from the people, the activities and the guide was great, Marianna was well organised and made everyone comfortable and made sure everyone was getting involved with everything. Would recommend this trip.

Unforgettable memories

I came solo as a 35 year old Female and wasn’t sure what to expect, But I could not of asked for a better group, every single person on my tour was amazing and unique in their own way and I honestly could not fault them. I made the most epic memories I could ever of asked for because of this group. If you’re looking for a way to see the islands without putting in the effort , just pack a bag and go and you’ll be left with memories for life. Theres lots of partying and not much sleep but if this is your vibe then this tour is for you. Thanks Dorothy for all the knowledge and the bar crawls and everything in between !!!

- Skye , 17/08/2025 18:49, Travelled Solo

Island Hopping made easy

Enjoyed exploring the Greek Islands without the stress of having to book travel and accommodation. The tour offered a range of destinations and activities that I may not have discovered on my own. Enjoyed being able to share these experiences with some new friends.

- Ysobella, 17/08/2025 00:31, Travelled Solo

Best trip ever!

Our tour guide, Mal, really made this trip. He was an excellent tour guide, so caring, knowledgeable and ensured our enjoyment and safety was a priority. Would highly recommend this trip - itinerary and accomodation was great and we had so much fun.

- Charlotte, 13/08/2025 09:17, Travelled with Friend/s

So happy with the tour- not happy with the booking team

The tour itself is amazing and my tour guide was the best. However me and my partner got off to a very bad start when we had booked the twin room upgrade and they told us our booking was accepted, then when we got there found out they had booked us in with the hostels without telling us so we had to spend the first night in a shared dorm with others which was absolutley not the trip we wanted or booked. They did fix this by day 2 and said it was "Human error". We had our own room from there and the rest of our tour was incredible.

Cayley, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2025-08-15:

Hi Megan, thank you for taking the time to review your Island Hopping Tour with us this summer - it was a pleasure to have you join us in Greece. I can see from our communication that the Private Room Upgrade was never confirmed prior to your departure with us. Upon realisation that you did want a Private Room Upgrade, our team worked with you quickly to have this organised with the properties and I am pleased to see that this was rectified. I am so pleased to read that once this was arranged, you were able to continue with the tour as planned and you had an incredible time! Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us this season.

Lots of fun!

I really enjoyed the trip, it was lots of fun and definitely got the party experience. Athens hostel had great amenities and a decent location. All the islands where lots of fun and the hotels we stayed in where nice, the only downside was Paros, the location of the hotel was far from the main town, the hotel was really nice and had nice breakfast but just a bit too out of the city. Mommy Dorothy was very involved with us and positive. She seemed like she knew everyone in each spot we went to, which was nice! She was a pleasure to have as a tour guide!

- Olivia, 05/08/2025 14:33, Travelled Solo

Trip of a lifetime

From start to finish, this trip had everything you could want and more. Amazing food, amazing hostels, amazing experiences, and amazing people.

- Mikaela, 30/07/2025 00:49, Travelled Solo

Incredible Solo Island hopping.

I cannot put into words how special this trip was! Greece is spectacularly beautiful. And the people are so warm and kind and made me feel so welcome. Paros was a stand out. But all the islands have their own unique charm and vibe. The success of the trip no doubt comes down to the expertise of our wonderful guide Amalia!!! She was a perfect blend of familiar and professional. It felt like I was exploring Greece with a friend of the family while still enjoying the ease and comfort of a planned tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable while allowing us to truly experience a range of different aspects of Greek culture. From food to language and of course partying. Beyond appreciative and grateful to Amalia who went so above and beyond. Xx

- Robyn, 29/07/2025 11:16, Travelled Solo

Amazing experience, saw all of the gems Greece has to offer !

Well organised, was a very full on but there was never a dull moment. Worth it! Perfect for those wanting to have a mix of culture, beach and food! My tour guide was hands down the best (Dorothy). She was very knowledgeable, very warm, welcoming and energetic. She kept the group engaged and truely looked out for everyone. She definitely made it a wonderful experience. The trip was life changing! Definitely the BEST highlight of my 2 months solo travelling in Europe. I could do it again!

- Bronwyn, 27/07/2025 16:04, Travelled Solo

Amazing time :)

Billy was amazing! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable & incredibly friendly, but very organised and made everything stress free and feel like a breeze! An absolute angel! Accommodation: mostly great - a couple were a bit far out (athens and paros) but wasnt the end of the world, as they were still nice. Dinners / nights out: Wouldve been great to have some choice in dinner options some nights as everywhere was chosen for us - that being said, Billy took us to some amazing places so cant complain! Nights out were also awesome! Activities: all so fun! booked to do the paros boat excursion and unfortunately the company had an accident so we were unable to go, but billy helped us arrange a great day anyway Free time: honestly not heaps of free time to explore so wouldve been nice to have a bit longer in each place - an extra night everywhere wouldve been ideal as we didnt want to leave! . Overall, had the best time and would do it all over again! We love Billy <3

Amazing week

Was an amazing week full of memories! Amalia made everything so easy! Her organisation and help did not go unnoticed! She planned an amazing 11 days, was flexible,understanding and brought a great vibe to our group! She was such an asset and made the experience incredible! Missing her already

- Tayla, 21/07/2025 21:04, Travelled with Friend/s

Best tour I’ve ever done

After doing a few tour/group organisations before, this one definitely takes the cake, all thanks to our guide Billy. I had my worries as the group was a lot smaller than other groups I’ve had, but I knew after the first day that everything was going to be great. Billy is super experienced and knowledgeable about the islands/Greece, and always had a up beat and fun energy. He was super kind and was so easy to get along with, and made sure everyone was good at all times, and and was happy to take suggestions on what to do etc. Without Billy, I dont think I would’ve enjoyed the trip as much. 10/10 stars for Billy and a great experience all in all.

- Mohe, 21/07/2025 14:40, Travelled Solo

Absolute Blast

One of the best times of my life, had a good mix of relaxing days and time off aswell as activities and Partying! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was super organised in getting all Accom and transfers sorted. Would 100% sign up to go for another round!

- Lachie, 21/07/2025 04:03, Travelled Solo

Amazing experience!!

This island hopping tour was sooo much fun!! It was such an amazing experience where we were able explore all different aspects of each island, from great food and views, to hectic night life and parties! Our tour guide Amalia was the absolute best and always had our best interests at heart. She took such good care of us and not only has great knowledge and experience of the Greek islands but also knows how to party!! We met so many amazing people on the tour and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with any other group or tour leader! Couldn’t recommend this experience more.

- Stella, 17/07/2025 21:26, Travelled in a Couple

Best Tour

My Santorini to Mykonos tour was amazing! I was really nervous going into this trip as a solo traveller but I was blessed with the most amazing tour group and tour guide Amalia. Amalia made our trip smooth and seamless and she was so much fun. I highly recommend!

Trip of a lifetime

I can’t even begin to put into words how incredible this trip was. Being earlier in the season, we were a smaller group of just six, but within the first few hours, it already felt like we were a group of friends travelling together. The itinerary offered a fantastic range of activities, and the price felt completely justified knowing that everything was taken care of. There was no stress, no planning, just turning up and enjoying every moment. It was such a treat to have a holiday where everything was organised for you. We were lucky enough to have the incredible Dorothy as our tour guide. She was organised, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. She was always going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her passion for the places we visited really added something special to the experience. This trip exceeded all expectations. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, seamless, and memorable adventure.

Greek island Hopping

Dimitrius was our tour guide and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable at every point of the trip and made sure everyone was okay and felt like part of the group. He was such a great person to be around and brought everyone together as a group and did a great job at ensuring all members made it to the next spot without issues and had the best time they possibly could. I’d recommend him to anyone who goes on a Greek island tour for his efforts

Greece island hopping

It was great having everything planned for me and took the stress out of it. Thank you to Dimitri for being my tour guide. I had such a good time and was well looked after.

Had a great time!

We got so much bang for our buck on our island hopping tour! We got to see so much of Greece and still had time for our own private adventures! Definitely recommend.

- De’Launa, 12/07/2025 08:52, Travelled with Friend/s

Loved this tour

I loved this tour! Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. The accommodation and excursions were very good as well. I would say that the opportunities to do things on your own were slim and restaurants we ate at were quite expensive so don’t be afraid to go and get a gyros before the group meals if you are on a budget!

- Susie , 12/07/2025 08:28, Travelled with Friend/s

Greek Island Girls Trip

Pros: Smooth planning and accommodations to experience the best of multiple islands. Loved the group! Met so many friends. There was a great balance of free time and structure. BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCKS. Cons: I’m not much of a party girl and would’ve love more historical, museum, and sight seeing more. Suggestions: Please allow us to all pay separately during dinner. It makes it very tense when the bill comes and complicate the process when it could be so much easier. More days in Santorini. Would’ve been nice to have accommodations in Nassau instead of Aliki in Paros. It would’ve been nice to know public transportation times at each location.

Greece island hopping

Was a fun 11 days, made lots of new friends and our guide was very knowledgeable.

- Lena, 12/07/2025 06:39, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing experience.

The tour, accommodation, islands and people were amazing! I felt like I got to see everything that I wanted to and had the absolute best time at dinners, pub crawls, walks around the towns and beaches. The only thing that dampened the experience was the added costs. We paid a lot of money (around $3500 AUD) to do the tour. Keep in mind that I am 21 and not in the perfect financial situation to spend frivolously. One of the reasons we chose island hopping over competitors is because of the cheaper price, but in hindsight, we could have chosen the more expensive tour because we’ve spent a lot of extra money while doing the tour. We found that the places that were chosen for dinner and lunches were quite luxurious and the food was around €20-30 which is $40-60 AUD and I would not normally spend that much on a dinner in Australia. I understand while on holiday, we typically spend more, and the guides want to take us somewhere traditional and good for the experience, but it was too expensiv

Amalia was our amazing guide and this was an unforgettable trip!! She taught me so much about each of the destinations and shared valuable travel tips. We had LOTS of fun partying but there was also plenty of time for relaxation and sight seeing. As a first time solo traveller, this tour was the best decision and I met amazing people who I’ll definitely see again. A huge thank you to Amalia for all her help, kindness and excitement which kept the vibes high the entire trip!

Unforgettable Greek Island Hopping – The Trip of a Lifetime!

If you’re thinking about exploring the Greek islands, meeting amazing people, making new friends, and having the best parties of your life — do it. This trip was everything I hoped for and more. Every island had its own magic — stunning beaches, charming towns, crystal-clear water, and sunsets that didn’t look real. The party nights were next-level — beach bars, epic dance floors, and nonstop energy. We danced, laughed, and lived it up with people from all over the world who quickly felt like family. The food? Absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood, grilled meats, Greek salads, and the tastiest local dishes served in cozy, authentic tavernas. But the true star of the trip was Amalia, our guide. She brought the whole experience to life with her energy, humor, and deep love for Greece. She made everyone feel welcome and somehow made every day better than the last. I came for the views and the parties — I left with incredible memories and lifelong friends. 🇬🇷

Go to not stress and visits the islands and see the night life

Well organized, beautiful hĂ´tels, good recommandation for restaurant. Nice to see the night life and party. Would have take more time visiting the streets and for the hike in santorini (i feel like i have seen more of the greece during my cruise because of that). Somethime it felt rushed. The days are more organized than I though. You'll have to pay for the bus, and club entry. If you're on a budget maybe it is not the best idea. And don't spend a lot of cash on the alcool in IOS cause it is water (or almost).

Amazing Island Hopping Experience with Marianna!

I recently had the pleasure of joining an island hopping tour around Greece, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our host, Marianna, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we got to the tour, her warm and welcoming personality made everyone feel at ease.

Best first trip in Greece

My sister and I booked to go on this trip as it was our first time in Greece and we weren't sure how to hit all the right island spots in the limited time that we had. However, this tour was the answer and it exceeded both of our expectations! We had the best tour guide ever who always knew how to make every moment a good time. Seeing all the sites, doing the excursions and all the food we ate was simply amazing. Would 11 out of 10 recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the Greek Islands!
