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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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 🙌🏽

Review on trip

It was really good and i enjoyed it except the accomodation i didnt enjoy i think there needs to be upgraded in it but other then that i enjoyed everything else

- Dionis, 31/07/2023 19:24, Travelled with Friend/s

More free time

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

- Conor Hodgkinson, 24/07/2023 16:38, Travelled Solo

pretty good!

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!!

MedEx June 2023

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!

- Christopher , 21/06/2023 13:45, Travelled Solo

Best tour ever

This was a great tour! Our guide was amazing and super fun to chill with!! She made it the most memorable trip ever!

Great Experience!

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!

Greek Island Hopping

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!

Good tour but poor accommodations

Our tour manager Kriton was very knowledgeable and very sweet! He knew a lot about each island and the history of Greece. He was very friendly and had a great positive attitude. The tour overall was good and fun, but the some of the accommodations were bad (Athens, Santorini & Mykonos). It was easy to access the main attractions of each island by the arranged transfers.

Would highly recommend

The tour was awesome, had a lovely group + the tour guide Kriton was so much fun and always there to answer questions. Would recommend to others

Great tour but not the best accommodations

Information about the islands, the buses between the ferry ports and accommodations, lots of free time, friendly tour guide.

Fantastic time!!!

The tour was organized. The smaller group made it so nice as it felt like we were a family. The excursions were definitely worth the money. Really a value for money tour. So.etime felt the waits for the Ferry took up too much time as we always left the hotel like 3 hours before and had nothing to do until the Ferry.

Hi Lauren! Thank you for such a great review and for joining us this season :)

Great 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!!

Thank you for your comments and rating Laura. We're glad Eleni was a welcomed inclusion on your tour, providing you with a wealth of information, tonnes of fun and passion for the Greek Islands. We know that you were indeed in good hands :-)

Improvements

Loved the bonding experience and had the best tour guide, Odysseus. We were able to experience Greece to the maximum mainly thankfully to Oddy! As far as improvements, the Athens hostel was not great as it’s far from the nice midtown area and I did not feel safe walking back at night. Additionally, the hotel was also not great so I think most people would pay for a little more to upgrade the hostel.

Amazing trip

Vassilis was an amazing leader, very knowledgeable and allowed us to have a great time in every location. Would look out for us and be there for questions. All the islands were amazing and the night life was unbelievable. Small shame with windy conditions altering some of the excursions, however the rest was amazing.
