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!!

Greek island hopping

It was such an amazing trip!! We got to see beautiful Greek islands with the perfect mix of fun, sightseeing, and relaxation. The smaller group made it feel really personal, and our experience was made even better by our incredible guide, Giannis! Highly recommend

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 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 !

Greek Island Hopping Adventure šŸ’™šŸ¤

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

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

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.

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

- Jen, 22/07/2025 14:53, 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!

- Anonymous, 17/07/2025 17:30, Travelled Solo

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.

- Imy Hanrahan, 16/07/2025 18:42, Travelled Solo

Best trip ever!

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. šŸ‡¬šŸ‡·

Amazing Greece Island Hopping Tour

I had an absolutely amazing time which was all thanks to our tour guide Dorothy who took us to the best places to eat and drink. She was amazing and just like a big sister which I loved and appreciated so much. Such a good balance of beach, culture, food and partying.

- Jade, 22/09/2024 20:27, Travelled Solo

10/10 amazing tour!!

My boyfriend and I booked this tour and honestly it was the experience of a lifetime!! Dorothy was our tour guide and she made the experience the best it could have been. She is so friendly and bubbly and sooooo much fun, great at hyping up the group and full of knowledge about Greece and the history. I’ve never met a better tour guide she is AMAZING!!! The tour of the 4 islands is so much fun, awesome pub crawls, delicious dinners and bloody awesome day excursions. Met the most amazing people on this tour, I loved everything about it. Big thanks to Dorothy the best Greek mommy, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking this trip!

Med Experience Greek Island Hopping

I loved med experience it is a great way to travel the Greek islands! Ioannis made the experience an unforgettable one and was an amazing tour guide giving our group the experience of a lifetime. I went as a solo traveler and now made lifelong friends and memories. I would hands down do this trip again!

An amazing journey with an amazing travel guide.

Medexperience is definitely going to be a huge highlight of my life. Island hoping was made so easy through the program and especially the tour guide, Maldit. Mal brought so much energy, safety and fun to this tour, he made sure everyone was included and welcome. Thank you so much Mal xx

Sof is THE BEST!!!!

My partner and I were recommended this trip by a friend who has previously done it and we are both so glad we booked in with med experience! Right from the beginning to end it was nothing short of amazing. Sof our tour leader was beautiful inside and out, she had lots of knowledge about the Greek culture and knew how to have fun with our crazy group. She has the sweetest soul and I am so glad we had her, it certainly made our experience 10000x better!! I couldn’t speak more highly of Sof. I have no negative comments to say about med experience at all, only that I wish it went for longer!!! The day trips and excursions were so so much fun and very well priced. The accommodation in each place was very good as well, as my partner and I got a free upgrade for private rooms which was perfect! Overall would 10/10 recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, we had the best time. I will be back for more!!!! WE LOVE SOF!!!!

- Alex, 03/09/2023 06:50, Travelled in a Couple

Words Can’t Describe

This was the first tour I’ve done in a few years and I was so thrilled by this experience. We had amazing dinners at lovely restaurants with beautiful scenery and views and the food was unbelievable. Vassilis the tour manager made this experience what is was! Plenty and pile Ty of local food recommendations, dishes, options or activities (definitely worth all of them), stores, (jewellery personally for me), variety of bars and incredible views throughout the entire Greek Islands. I had my phone stolen and he dealt with it with such ease and as if it wasn’t a concern, police report and everything especially keeping in contact with someone back home and checking everyday with me to ensure I felt comfortable and safe without one. He has gone above and beyond this trip. The tour is very inclusive, we had an amazing group of people and some of the places/restaurants and clubs wouldn’t have been possible without Vassilis. A truly well planned and managed trip with an incredible leader.

- Aindrea, 01/09/2023 12:48, Travelled Solo

Great tour lots of fun

Overall I really enjoyed this tour. I had a lot of fun with a great group of people. I liked the balance between activities/ sightseeing and partying. It would have been nice to have more free time and not as many expensive dinners.

Review as a solo traveller

Amalia was our tour guide and she was funny, honest, genuine and unique. She gave us all the right information on the days ahead, excursions and also answered any and all questions we had about the tour. The people were all nice and I made a couple friends, the accomodation in Athens was great, Santorini could have been better, Ios was good but Paros was the nicest for sure and Mykonos was good considering we were right on the resort near the parties! The transfers to and from the ports was well organised and in an AC bus. The only complaint I would have is that we had to settle the bill ourselves every dinner which was a bit hard when some people didn’t have cash on them and etc. Also our group was a bit disappointed with the ā€œGreek Night in Parosā€ as the restaurant did not serve 3 courses of authentic Greek food: it was Greek salad, bread and a mini beef roast with potatoes, as a Greek myself I was very disappointed with this. All up it was a good experience for island hopping!

- Zena , 11/08/2023 08:22, Travelled Solo

More information about the tour would’ve been good.

It was really well organised Wish I knew that you could stay in Mykonos rather than going back to Athens and that the 9 day and 11 is the same just that Athens is missed out. Wasting two days just to travel to the starting and ending island. I didn’t like how it was almost complusory that you had to come to the dinners. Tour guide was amazing and super lovely!

Hi there - thank you for taking the time to review your tour with us this summer in Greece. It is great to read you felt the tour was well organised and you were happy with your Tour Guide Amalia, this is fantastic! It's important to us to be able to offer a return tour from Athens as many guests joining us find it easier to book return flights to Athens, instead of flying into Santorini and out from Mykonos. Sometimes, this can make travel to Greece cheaper than booking the two individual flights. The Tour Guide will recommend restaurants each day for your evening meal and we often see on tours the group will decide to dine together. As this is not an inclusion, it is not compulsory to have the evening meal together if you'd prefer to dine elsewhere. Your feedback is important to us, so I will be sure to pass the suggestions you have noted onto our Operations Manager in Athens, thank you for this. We're pleased you had a wonderful time and hope you will join us again in the future.

Best week

I had the best week with med experience. Our leader Dorothy made my 21st birthday so special and made it a week long party. Even though I was travelling solo, I never felt alone. It was great not having to think about where to go and what to do and have someone else take care of it. Great people, great vibes

- Ella, 06/08/2023 08:44, Travelled Solo

Excellent

For any solo traveller this is the perfect tour. I had Dorothy as a leader who was beyond great. As a solo traveller I was extremely nervous to start a tour by myself but Dorothy made me feel welcome and so did all the people. If you’re looking to start an adventure and meet wonderful people, join Medexperience

- Sarah, 06/08/2023 07:19, Travelled Solo

Great experience - Dorothy is a legend

At first, I was recovering from a sickness, so was not the best company to be around. However, as the trip progressed it got everyday got better. Destinations were progressively specacular, the company was great and friendships were forged. Dorothy, our tour guide, was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond the normal bounds to accommodate for everyone's needs. The accommodation was not the greatest, especially at Santorini (that could use a change of provider), but we weren't there for the accommodation it was the experience - the Medexperience. Again, cannot express my sincere gratitude to Dorothy.

- William, 05/08/2023 18:41, Travelled Solo

Great times, experiences and memories

I had such an amazing experience doing the 11 day tour. Everything was planned out really well and it exceeded my expectations. The only downfall is there is a lot of unnecessary waiting (waiting at dinner an hour after everyone completed) could’ve used this time to explore the town etc. I’ve made some incredible memories that will last a lifetime. Would definitely recommend to my friends in the future. Thanks again for the experience šŸ™ŒšŸ½

Greek Island Hopping with Med Ex

What a great trip. Hadn’t heard of the company prior so had no expectations. I loved every minute. It was a great group of people and smaller tour group. A great balance between the party life and just chilling by pool or beaches. We were able to have some great food and local experiences on this trip. The scenery was incredible. Would highly recommend.

- Emm , 28/07/2023 08:08, Travelled Solo

Can’t rate it highly enough! We saw everything I wanted to plus more and was sooooo much fun!

5 stars for Billy!

Awesome trip around Greece. Had the pleasure of having Billy as our tour guide who absolutely made this trip incredible. He had everything planned perfectly, made us all feel so welcome and safe, and took us on really fun nights out. I can not fault him or this trip at all! Had a great group of people to hang out with and everyone was loads of fun. Will definitely be coming back to Greece and would recommend this tour to anyone!

- Georgia, 15/07/2023 13:51, Travelled Solo

Review

The tour was fun! Santorini was a bit too rushed and the restaurant choices were a bit too pricey for our group as we would have preferred street food to save money. Us as a group enjoyed being able to have free time in ios and Paros to explore on our own. More time in Santorini free exploring would have been a lot better. We only got 20-30 minutes in oia, would have loved to watch the sunset from here.

- Sarah , 12/07/2023 05:56, Travelled in a Couple

Nikos was incredible, best people/places/accomodation ! 10/10 recommend

Maldit’s the best!

I came as a solo traveller and left with many friends (including our wonderful tour guide Maldit). The tour was the perfect mixture of partying, downtime and exploring - our tour manager ā€œBig Malā€ made everything seamless. I’d highly recommend this tour and if you get Mal as your tour guide then you’re in for a fun trip! Thank you for everything team Med and Mal.

- Madeleine, 30/06/2023 06:14, Travelled Solo

It’s was an Awsome experience, just wish we had a little more independence with where we were eating and stuff like that, but your guide was lovely and really cared which made it all the more better!!
