Tour was a long time on the boat and not a lot of time on each island. All was fine until it was time to return to our hotel. We were told by the tour guide that they would drop us off two blocks from our hotel. That two blocks was actually 8 blocks long up hill in the dark on crooked sidewalks. I’m 80 years old and that was a terrible way to end our day.

Firstly if you are not an on time person you may need to rethink doing this trip. Our coach arrived to our pick up location about 15 minutes early and I’m sure that if we hadn’t been waiting the bus would’ve left without us. Next, if you are looking for a small, intimate experience then this is not for you. The boat is quite large and crowded. While there is enough space for everyone, the outside decks are very busy. Food and drinks are available on board at reasonable prices, and the crew are very friendly and polite. The included lunch is buffet style and we were disappointed with the food. The 3 islands visited are beautiful but due to timing you really only get a taste of each. Most of the day is spent on the boat. Would I do this trip again? No Would I recommend to others? Probably not.

Terrible booking. We booked a 3-island cruise. They cancelled the second island without explanation or justification after we arrived at the first island. The lunch was very mediocre with limited options. The staff was rude and they were always trying to upsell with photos, additional bookings, their drinks, and, their “VIP” options. They changed, without notice, our pickup time, and luckily we were there early, or we would have missed the booking. The boat was overcrowded and not enough chairs for everyone to sit. Stay away from this booking company, as it is a ripoff and you won’t get your money’s worth

Loved the exposure to different islands. Be prepared for an early start with a 3+ hour cruise to first port. After that it is about an hour on each island and an hour cruise between. It was fun and lots of souvenir shopping. Had great grilled pork belly in Hydra- everyone liked that island best - although the beach in Aegina was only a 5 min walk from the boat and that was refreshing. Plus could get to Apollo’s temple there
