Elia, our trip guide was excellent. He was professional and friendly and made sure everyone was doing okay. I got sick on the first day. He showed genuine concern for my well-being and helped me seek medical assistance. He was also fantastic at dealing with some other dramas on the trip. I had a great time, but would have had much more fun had I not gotten sick so early

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 🙌🏽

Pros: - Hassle free travel. All transport is organised. - Great excursions. - Tour guide is local making communication and traversing the islands easy. - Most hotels are great. - Very flexible. Can choose to do your own thing if you wish. - Group environment however not tied to the group if you don't want to be. - Tour guide is a great source of information and knows the best spots. Cons: - Athens days consist entirely of travel in ferries. Best to do the 9 day and fly straight to the islands. - Some hotels were poor (internet, rooms, bathrooms). No choice of hotels or locations if you choose to join a tour group. - Excursions will be cancelled if the majority of the group choose to not do it.

Good activities and locations. Lots of waiting around and would’ve preferred more free time.

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.

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!!

The people I met on this trip were all amazing and made me feel so welcome, honestly had the best days and nights with them all. Anthi as our guide could not have been better, everyone from the tour group to the hotel managers and bar owners loved her. She is full of knowledge and knew how to take care of us all. Had no major issues with the accommodation, ferries or transfers. Eight hours from Athens to Santorini was a bit long, the beds in Santorini, Ios and Mykonos were far from comfy and the bathrooms not the most luxurious, but I think that is the true Greek island experience. I was nervous about how this solo trip would pan out but I had the best time and would recommend to anyone!

I had a great time and made lots of new friends. Big thank you to Billy for being a perfect guide! I would have given 5 stars but the accomodation at Santorini Camping wasn't very good. Otherwise I had a perfect trip!

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.
- Taylor, 01/09/2019 08:13, Travelled Solo
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!!

Very informative! the tour guide was super friendly, knew what he was talking about and answered every question! he went out of his way to go the extra mile!

Thanks for your review Selda!
All the islands were beautiful and Kriton was a good friend and instructor on this trip. He did everything possible to make sure we were all involved. Would very much have liked space and time as a couple to go out and explore a bit more. A lot of focus on partying which suited a lot of the group, personally as someone who likes to explore I think I would’ve preferred staying in Mykonos town as I feel like I didn’t get to see it properly.
