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

I loved this excursion. I wish we had longer in Hydra. The service on the boat was great and for us the unlimited drink option was well worth it.

Nice boat tour through the islands. The downside is everything else of the package is extra cost. So, pack some bottles of water if you don't want to pay extra. Besides that, great guides, well organized (extra) tours with a decent lunch onboard.
