Long day, but to see islands.

4.00This was a great tour to see all three different islands and the differences. They will upsell you some tours when on the boat in the islands. I suggest doing them otherwise you will be stuck just seeing what you can. Unfortunately this does not come with the cost and I think should be all included. The boat ride is very long to all of the places. They try to do a good job breaking it up with lunch, music and dancing, but the music was extremely loud.
Best day ever.

5.00This cruise was value packed. The staff were attentive from the hotel transfer right the way through the whole trip. We love stopping at the Islands and the tour options. It is a day I will never forget. Brilliant from start to finish. We are coming back from Australia to do it again!!
Good Addition to an Itinerary

4.00The cruise is a good addition for travelers with limited time in Athens. Best plan is to enjoy free-time at each stop vs other options—the extra-cost cultural excursion on Aegina was not a good value, in our view. The sales pitch made it sound as if there was nothing accessible at Aegina apart from purchasing an excursion. This was not the case. On the upside, the islands had their own charm, and the cruise staff was very good, with good energy and kindness. To pass the cruise time, being with friends is best or bring a book or card game!

1.00Too many people, not enough time on any of the islands, and the format is tired. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

3.00It was a good time. We wish there would have been more time on each place or just had 2 stops instead of 3. It was hard to get 400 people off and back on in such a small amount of time. For lunch it said it was going to be a traditional Greek meal, it was not and it was terrible. It would have better if they just gave out boxed lunches with sandwiches. Overall probably not worth the $170/ a person.
Three Greek Islands in one day

5.00This is a great way to visit some Greek Islands in one day. We upgraded to the VIP lounge once we boarded the boat, which improved the whole experience, with comfortable seating, free drinks, a 10am snack and 3 course lunch. The upgrade also included a walking tour of Hydra and drop off to our hotel at the end of the day. Well worth the money!

3.00The experience was lovely, apart from service on the cruise and time able to be spent at stops. Service was poor and not well communicated. The stop time was very brief and not enough time to spend. Tours that could be purchased in addition were rushed and not enough for what was paid.
Don’t miss the cruise to Hydra, Poros, Aegina

5.00This was a first class experience. The crew, especially Spero, took great care of us. He even saved seats for us for the final show. Very knowledgeable crew about the opislands we visited.
