    All of the transfers were on time and went well. The accommodation in Psyros was lovely. The accommodation in Mykonos was very dated. The accommodation on Santorini was well situated and pleasant. The accommodation in Crete was in a town with very little to do. Would have preferred staying in Heraklion. I think a longer initial stay in Athens would have been better than one and two nights at the beginning and end of the trip.

    Regarding the TourRadar pkg. It was so nice. The problems we had were caused by our airline service thru Turkish airlines. Originally had a 1.45 hr layover in Turkey, which was rescheduled to a 12 hr layover. Upon our return to the states, again Turkish airlines took 2 hrs to unload luggage from plane to baggage pick up. Not cool when you've been on an 11 hr flight.

    Due to Santorini Earthquake, we pulled out of the tour but it's in the bucket list for next year. The way Dot travel communicated with us and the speed they organised the refund was superb. Speedy refund allowed us to book alternative travel in Europe. Thank You George for your assistance.

    Dissatisfied with the transfer service. We arrived at the Mykonos ferry port and the driver did not come to pick us up. After contacting him, he did not stop even though he saw us walking in the parking lot with our luggage, and drove past us to pick up another couple. When we got in the car, his attitude was very unfriendly, while he was very friendly to the local couple. All 4 of us were very angry.

    Overall great experience. Communication with the tour team was very good. We had a glitch with one pick up location but it was quickly resolved. A couple of the hotel accommodations were not the best. One hotel in Athens was in a bad neighborhood and not safe for walking. Also the location was not near activities or tour bus pick up. We used Uber to navigate the area. The islands of Greece were beautiful and an enjoyable experience. We arranged several private tours which gave us a chance to tour with locals. We were immersed in the history and culture. Our private island hopping experience was great. I would highly recommend it.

    Love the trip, though not long enough on Islands. Personally could have given Santorini a miss. Transfers were great, except for one. He didn't know where accommodation was, so dropped us off and pointed in wrong direction. That accommodation was poor, no window and very scarce in furnishings. All else was great. I would do another tourradar again and would recommend to friends
