Met some great people and was a convenient way to get around the islands however don’t feel I got my moneys worth. Our tour guide Nikos although lovely and took care of our whole group didn’t provide many recommendations on things to do at each of the islands which was a bit of a bummer considering on previous top deck trips I have done I have had countless recommendations of things to do, places to eat etc. so was a little disappointed that we received no recommendations! Also felt we didn’t get much knowledge of Greece told to us, which is always a nice extra when doing a tour! Also considering how much we paid when we arrived in Paros off the ferry we were told to put our bags in the bus but we had to walk, I don’t think this is acceptable considering how hot it was and that the port wasn’t close to the hotel and the fact our bags could go on but we couldn’t just didn’t sit right with me! Additionally I wouldn’t recommend the panorama hotel in Paros, the staff were rude to us and it wasn’t very clean! Additionally, I felt the optional extras were very expensive considering how much we had already paid for the trip, for example the volcano boat tour around Santorini we could have hired boats ourself for cheaper as a group and definitely didn’t feel we got our money worth for that optional extra. Additionally with that optional extra it included going to Oia to watch the sunset however our guide told us we had to leave at 8:15 so before sunset which is sad cause that’s all we wanted to do there, when we questioned with our guide he said that then we would be back late for dinner however we all would have been happy with that or to have had dinner in Oia as it wasn’t an included dinner just a place our guide was taking us! Felt very ripped off as we had been looking forward to the sunset here all trip to then only have an hour in Oia, definitely not worth it! Additionally our guide didn’t want to show us the blue domes cause that’s too touristy and there are other things to see when that’s the main thing we all wanted to see! Just a little dissatisfied with how the trip ran! Nikos was lovely don’t get me wrong but jsut felt like he was only doing it for his own benefit of free meals and drinks at each place took us rather than to show us around Greece!

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. Beautiful scenery and we learned a lot. Our tour leader Mat is amazing he did his very best to keep us going and busy specially during the second part of the tour, mykonos ans santorini always we have something to do everyday. He is an asset.

I cannot rate this tour highly enough! Excellent tour from day one. As a solo traveler, I never felt left out. Everything was well organized and coordinated. The Santorini Hotel is very close to Thira so we were able to wander the streets and explore. The Mykonos hotel is not near town, but there was a regular public bus service. The views from both hotels were spectacular. Electra Hotel in Athens is very close to the main tourist sites and Plaka. I highly recommend this tour for solo travelers and couples. I wish I could spend more nights on the islands.
