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 :)

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

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

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

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

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.

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

- Will, 14/07/2025 16:01, Travelled Solo

11 day Athens to Athens tour

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable in everywhere we went. He managed to stay put with us to look after us when we were drinking. I enjoyed the hole trip, I would definitely recommend.

- Lewis, 10/07/2025 13:42, 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!

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

- Jaime, 23/06/2025 16:31, Travelled Solo

Super amazing experience

I did the Athens to Athens Greek Island tour with our tour guide Marianna and had the absolute best time. She looked after us so well and we always knew the plan for the day with a clear itinerary outline. Would 100% recommend!

- Evelyn, 20/06/2025 11:13, Travelled with Family

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!

- Hannah, 17/06/2025 05:20, Travelled with Family

Thank you Marianna :)

Our greek island hopping trip was awesome. Marianna's knowledge of the islands was amazing and she took care of all the organising to make sure we had a great time. She had recommendations of what to get at restaurants, key landmarks on the islands, and it was great that she spoke Greek too. She always ensured everyone was involved and enjoying themselves. It was also great to see her connections with the locals between all the islands. Thanks Marianna for the amazing time!!

Island Hopping

I did the hiking tour. When i booked this trip i didn’t know what to expect even on the first day. Then I arrive at the hotel on day 1 and we did a brief meeting with dimitri our team leader and with the group then we did a short tour and had dinner. Next thing i knew it’s our last day in our trip. Everything happened so fast. Hiking was great it’s for all ages. Hotel is very clean and comfy and lastly our team leader dimitri is knowledgeable and so good he is training julia at that time so we do have 2 leaders on our tour. Both great and knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

- Lesly, 12/05/2025 10:15, Travelled Solo

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

Great Time

It was a really great trip. It was a great balance between going to bars and being out late while also having time to chill on the beach. I was there in September, so crowds were pretty manageable except in Oia when the cruise ships came in.

- Chuck, 20/09/2024 00:03, Travelled Solo

Yianni rocks as a guide!

Our guide Yianni was great, he has great experience with a wealth of knowledge to match. He was able to answer all our questions plus more and made our tour fun to be apart of. Most of the accommodation was good and in the right locations and had great views in Paros.

Amazing tour with Maldit

Greece was beautiful and the tour is well planned out with a good mix of free time, relaxing and partying etc. What makes it special is the group and especially the tour manager Maldit! He had amazing energy the whole time and is so positive, full of stories and laughs. Would not have been the same without Maldit, he is so much fun while keeping organised and professional. Highly recommend the trip!!

Fantastic tour in a incredible part of the world

I had so much fun, I would 100% recommend to anyone. We saw some spectacular sites, swam in crystal clear waters and party hard all night

- Will, 16/09/2023 16:43, Travelled Solo

Perfect tour made possible by our leader Sofie

Sofie made our tour amazing, putting up with a group of rowdy Australians ( and one brit). The places we saw were absolutely amazing can’t praise Sof enough for making sure we were on time and saw the things we did. Strongly believe none of us would have had as good as a time if it wasn’t for Sof. I think she deserve a pay rise… Thanks again to Med experience and Sofie!!!

- Jak, 14/09/2023 21:41, Travelled Solo

The layout of the trip was very good! And the tour guide Sophie was very nice and always made sure everyone was happy

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 party trip and tour of the best islands

Everything you wanted in bars and clubbing mixed in with seeing the best islands made it a great experience. Dorothy our tour guide knew exactly what we needed to see and what to avoid. Great travel experience with or without friends. You’ll make amazing memories with everyone you meet in your group

- Luciano , 21/08/2023 09:24, Travelled Solo

A good time

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

- Alasdair, 15/08/2023 16:48, 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!

Cayley, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2023-08-10:

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.

Great experience

The people on my tour were so much fun and we somehow survived the 11 days that we did not expect
