    Best 11 days of my life ! Killer group and amazing guide, if you get Stasi consider yourselves super lucky because he’s incredible ! So knowledgeable and chill, never felt safer in a tour guide’s hands than in his. This tour has everything, beaches, history, culture, and of course partying !!! some of the late night/early morning combos will be a bit rough but 1000% worth it, book this tour !!

    did not care for passenger safety and only wanted to get with girls. Left our tour group stranded multiple times including emergency situations, caught hooking up with girls on the tour and generally overall a terrible attitude and not pleasant to be around. Untrustworthy, can't believe they are still responsible for other people's safety.

    My experience with the Greek Island Hopping Tour was amazing! I liked having the freedom to do excursions (which were all amazing), or have the day to myself. Ellen was an amazing guide and ensured everything went smoothly. Would definitely do another Contiki in the future!

    The Contiki trip was exactly what I (32 year old male traveller from NJ, USA, attorney by trade) wanted - adult spring break. I got to travel to some of the world’s most picturesque destinations with a group of fun-loving party animals and experience the “best of” Greece at a fast pace with almost every detail taken care of. I enjoyed the mix of historical, physical, and fun activities - exploring ancient ruins, hiking a volcano, boat tours, bar hopping, and more. Additionally, the fact that many of these activities are optional add-ons means that only those that are going to want to be there are there. If you don’t want to be there - no problem, lounge on the beach, explore the cities/islands, sleep in, or simply do whatever else you want to do. We stayed at some incredible places, including a hotel on the water in Athens with a rooftop bar across the street from the beach, and one of the world’s best beach clubs in Mykonos. While the rooms were a bit basic, it helped keep the price of the trip down, and it was more than sufficient for the minimal sleep we got almost every night anyway. I can’t speak highly enough about our tour leader, Maddie. She was knowledgable, incredibly hard-working, and made sure that any problem, including regarding Covid, was quickly dealt with. She rocked. Finally, as a solo traveller, I felt very comfortable on this trip because there were so many other solo travelers who went as well, and everyone is looking to meet everyone else. It’s a very welcome atmosphere.
