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!
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!

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.
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 🙌🏽

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!!

Spyros was the best tour guide possible! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Such a great experience and definitely the trip of a lifetime.

Hi Taylor, thank you for your 5-star rating. We totally agree Spyros is amazing and we will make sure he knows how much of an awesome experience you had on the trip!
Our tour guide - Elen - made the trip. She made sure everything went so smoothly and looked after us so well. Her knowledge of Greece and her passion for ensuring we had the best time was brilliant and she also provided some hilarious moments along the way! Anyone who ends up her her going forward is so lucky.. you'll be in great hands!!
