Not to sign up for VIP. Not worth the money! Got put into a cabin with old dirty furniture, did not get vip disembarking for the islands. Food was no different than the food served to other passengers . We were chased down to pay for beers that should have been part of VIP. We enjoyed the cruise but felt scammed by the VIP package. .

Not a good tour you spend most of the time on a overcrowed ferry. Then you want you to book tours on each island for every more money. you get to spend a little over an hour on each island. All the rest of your time on the ferry. So not worth it
Overall I would recommend.

We both enjoyed the day, the hotel pick up was well organised and the driver friendly. We chose the VIP option which I would recommend. The complementary food and drinks were average but were fine. We dad a complementary walking tour in Hydra but after about 10minutes decided to go our own way. We then arrived on Poros but only had about 30 minutes on the island which wasn’t long enough and it just felt like a tourist trap as they drop you in front of souvenir shops. The last island of Aegina was good, we selected a bus tour that took us around the coastline and to a church which we really enjoyed. The food at the end of the tour was okay. Overall I would recommend.

We booked this tour for four people and were told to be at the Amalia Hotel at 7:30 AM. Without proper notice through WhatsApp, as I had requested, the time was changed to 7:10 AM in the chat. We arrived at 7:15 AM, but the driver had already left. No call or WhatsApp message was made to inform us. As a result, we lost the entire tour and our day. Very disappointing experience.
Find another day cruise!

Be wary. If winds are high you are likely not to get to Hydra. We weren't told we weren't going to Hydra until after departure. Our time in very touristy Egina (in very hot conditions) was extended from 2 hours to 3.5 hours, with no offer of a partial refund. The ship was larger than expected, with hundreds of people on board. A very expensive mistake for us!
