The tour itself is amazing and my tour guide was the best. However me and my partner got off to a very bad start when we had booked the twin room upgrade and they told us our booking was accepted, then when we got there found out they had booked us in with the hostels without telling us so we had to spend the first night in a shared dorm with others which was absolutley not the trip we wanted or booked. They did fix this by day 2 and said it was "Human error". We had our own room from there and the rest of our tour was incredible.
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!
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.
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!
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).
If you’re traveling to Greece for the first time, this is a great option because you don’t have to worry about finding places to go, booking transportation, dealing with language barriers, etc. So many fun events were planned, from adventurous hikes and tubing to bar crawls and delicious dinners. The only negative is that there’s not much freedom to do what you want outside of what they have planned. We were told that we were “not allowed” to leave lunch to explore a different spot of the city. We were rushed through the shops of Paros and didn’t have time to just wander around and explore, which is one of the best parts of traveling. Felt kind of like having a babysitter even though we’re all adults. Overall though it was a great experience.
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.
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.
Being able to meet new people and getting insight from our knowledgeable tour manager

the people that i met on the experience
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
I had the best time on this tour! Tour guide was super lovely, activities were fun, night life was amazing. The only thing that was disappointing was the cost of public transportation. I thought that by going on this tour I would be guaranteed transport however we every now and then we had to pay to catch a public bus or ferry. As well as a private transfer on the last night. I just wish they advertised that so I knew.
Had a great time. Good mix of partying and chilling out at the beach. Boat excursion in Paros was the best day. Pub crawls and Mykonos beach resort were awesome! Would like to see us taken to street food places more rather than the most expensive restaurants on the island! Amalia tried really hard to make the trip fun for everyone!
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!
This was a great tour! Our guide was amazing and super fun to chill with!! She made it the most memorable trip ever!
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.
The islands were beautiful and I had a great time. Katarina had a lot of knowledge about the islands and tried so hard to ensure we had the best time ever. It could have been improved by not always being at the ports super early as this was a lot of waiting around, but I get that the hotels set when they will do the transfers. Overall a great time and would recommend!
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.
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
Information about the islands, the buses between the ferry ports and accommodations, lots of free time, friendly tour guide.
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.
The group of people were fantastic and the islands were beautiful. The extra excursions offered were also interesting and good value for money.
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!!
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.
Yiannis
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!
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.
Our tour guide billy made the tour so easy and he was so helpful, he lifted the mood each day and was so fun to be around and he took us to all the right places. His number 1 priority was us and he did everything to make sure we were having a good time.
This tour was so amazing, the people were so friendly and i cant thank our tour guide Yiannis enough! He is honestly a legend, so warm, kind and always willing to help, loves to party with us and tell us all the facts and recommendations, 10/10 best tour guide ever!!! Just wanted more exploring time in Mykonos but my god was it a good tour!
Good 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.
Great tour guide, smooth and easy process.
The food and culture. Overall great experience.
