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

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

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!

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

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.

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

July 1st 11 day island hopper tour

Dimitris was the best!! He made traveling across islands so efficient and fun! Made great friends and great memories.

- Cassidy, 10/07/2025 13:42, Travelled with Friend/s

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!

- Amy, 08/07/2025 06:41, Travelled Solo

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

Well organized, beautiful hôtels, 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.

- Megan, 24/06/2025 13:33, Travelled with Friend/s

Island hopping

Marianna !!! So lucky to have gone on her tour she’s very personable and makes you feel very welcome from the start of the tour. Such a fun few days and a good way to see an overview of each of the islands. Will miss our island hopping adventures

Dorothy was so amazing, she was so knowledgeable and experienced. I always felt looks after in her hands and she had the best recommendations.

Glorious Greek Tour

I had a wonderful time exploring Athens and the Greek Islands. The trip was well organised, very interesting and informative as well as friendly and fun. We saw some wonderful sights did some fabulous walks and eat at wide range of delicious restaurants. It felt like we were away longer as we saw so much. It was an absolute delight and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to explore and meet new people. Many thanks Kate

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.

Best Greek trip ever

Best itinerary compared to other travel companies like Topdeck or Contiki. The tour guide is Greek as well, our leader, Dorothy, was absolutely the best. Very professional, high energy, fun, kind and caring. She made sure that everyone was having a great time, whether you were drinking or not, and recommended the best food places with great dish options. Great accommodation places with delicious breakfast options. Extra excursions were fantastic and recommend everyone to partake. Thank you once again!

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the best of the islands!

Med Experience Review

I had the most amazing time travelling around the greek islands. We had an awesome tour guide who was very knowledgeable and knew how to have fun. Med Experience is a great way to meet new people, see Greece to its full potential, eat some great food and party your heart out. It would do it ten times over.

Amazing experience!

Not only was I fortunate enough to be put in a group with awesome people but the cherry on top of the cake was our group leader! Maldit made the the whole trip fantastic and is also one of the best people I’ve ever met. The whole experience was breathtaking and so much fun. I am so grateful to have go on this adventure with such great people and I will never forget our time together. 🥲❤️

Review of Sail Greece 08/23

I will highly recommend this tour to young travelers who have not yet experienced Greece or are unsure of the best islands/ ways around. This tour gave an insight into a few of the islands. We found the best food, attractions and learnt about the culture. With the group we became good friends and respected one another. Our tour leader Sofi made the trip complete. Guiding us around each island with enthusiasm about her home land. She made sure everyone could have the best experience and was sure enough the mum of the group. Can’t wait to travel again and Greece was widely beautiful.

- Amberly, 14/09/2023 12:14, Travelled with Friend/s

Med ex

It was fun, but felt like there were lots of costs added that could have been done more cheaply e.g shuttle to town and back could have been the public bus. We also went to lots of bars that weren’t very full, so would rather have spent time at busier, more social ones. Loved Mykonos!

- Rosie , 12/09/2023 10:24, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing holiday

My friend and I joined the 11-day tour and had the best experience. The tour was fast paced but we covered so much ground and really made the most of our time. Our tour guide Maldit was so friendly, kind and kept our energy high. Grateful to have shared this experience with such an incredible group of people.

- Anonymous, 07/09/2023 23:20, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing times, amazing people, amazing experience

We had the best tour manager Dorothy who communicated well and was always looking after us and having the best time! We had a great group of people which made the trip 10/10. Med Experience made everything so easy instead of doing the Greek islands by yourself! Highly recommend!

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

An unforgettable trip

The island hopping tour was amazing and my tour manager Billy helped make the tour even more special. He has an amazing personality and made everyone feel welcome in the little family me formed through out the trip. I really enjoyed my time in all the islands, from the gorgeous scenery, delicious food, to the incredible people in my tour group, I would recommend it to anyone.

- Amy , 31/08/2023 19:49, Travelled with Friend/s

Not the best

Honestly, this trip was a bit of a let down. Our group absolutely loved each other but did NOT vibe with our tour leader at all. The communication about the plan was always super confusing and awkward. We felt forced into group dinners at places we didn’t want to eat at. Santorini section of trip needs to be completely reworked. The accommodation is awful, and we really should spend both nights in Oia, which is the only cool part of Island. iOS and Paros were great- wouldn’t change much there. Mykonos- absolutely loved staying at paradise resort because of the day club party, the rooms are a bit gross though. For the Mykonos town night- we were forced to start at 6 pm and return home by 1am because the $20 euro pp shuttle was our only choice. Our tour leader took us to empty bars and then an awful club that no one wanted to go to. I wish we knew more about the many clubs close to our resort ( Tropicana and Cavo Paradiso) and Scandinavian bar in myk

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to review your tour in Greece with us this summer. It's great to read you enjoyed Ios, Paros and your stay in Mykonos! Feedback is very important to us, so we certainly take your points raised and suggestions on board - these will be passed to the Operations Manager in Greece so that we can make improvements where possible. The guide will make recommendations on places to eat throughout the tour but these are not compulsory. The group does usually prefer staying together, however you are welcome to do your own thing and eat where you'd like to. Thank you very much for joining us!

The best way to travel the greek islands

This beautiful and fun trip was made even more exciting with our fantastic group leader and Greek mum Dorothy. The hotels were mostly very nice and in good locations. I felt we did everything we needed to do and saw everything I wanted to see. I would 1000% do this again. It would be a great way to meet new people if you were solo travelling.

- Hannah, 23/08/2023 09:02, Travelled with Friend/s

Amazing time!

Really enjoyed my first time in Greece. Tour guide Sofiana was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of Greece. Activities were super affordable and so much fun. Was great to have everything organised for us and to top everything off all the food was unbelievable! My friends and I all had such good times

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 “Greek Night in Paros” 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.
