    I was impressed by the itinerary/voucher document that I received. It listed accommodations with addresses and telephone numbers so that folks at home could contact us. There were sections on ferry service, transfer information to and from hotels, flight tickets, and important telephone numbers and tips. There was a ferry problem that I caused but Chrysta and her people swung into action and we were back on track in 3-4 hrs. All in all, the Dot.Travel people were very helpful. We chose a self-guided tour so that we could travel at our own pace and not slow down a larger group. It was an enjoyable 15 day tour.

    We did the Best of Athens 15 days (Athens and 4 islands) self-guided tour. All of our ferries, taxi transfers, hotels (with breakfast) and flight from Crete back to Athens were included. Everything went so smoothly and easily with zero issues. The Dot travel reps were so amazing…answered all of our questions and changed a couple of hotels to suit our travel wishes. They have curated some incredible hotels and work with such professional taxi transfer companies I highly recommend this tour to those who (like me) stress about the logistics of many ferries/transfers and also if you would enjoy the freedom to do what you like with no set daily schedule. We have done a few Tourradar tours and have not had a bad experience with any of them.

    The Best of Greece (15 days) Athens & 4 Islands in 15 days (Self-Guided) with Dot Travel was simply outstanding. From start to finish, their service went above and beyond - easily one of the best travel agents I’ve ever used. They were incredibly flexible with our itinerary and even extended our trip at short notice. When all ferries were cancelled in Mykonos due to circumstances beyond their control, they handled everything with professionalism, speed, and genuine care. I can’t recommend Dot Travel highly enough!

    Book this tour !!! My friend and I had an incredible time in Greece ! All the hotels were central and nice and clean ! The tours included were great too ! Especially the acropolis tour and caldera tour In Santorini! The tour company was easy to communicate thru what’s app ! It truly was a trip of a lifetime ! Also I highly reccomend traveling in September the weather wasn’t too hot and the crowds were way less ! Flying into Athens two days early gives you more time to see pretty much all the historical sights ! All of our transfers went smoothly on the ferries and drivers were very nice ! Greece is a beautiful country with wonderful people go ahead and book this trip you won’t regret it !

    Best of Greece is one of the best tour,self guided vacations I’ve ever experienced. Thanks to all that made my dream vacation come true, my cousin and I enjoyed island hoping, taxis,ships accommodation are truly awesome. If not for Tour radar i would not see Greece and Part of Europe. I thought CA is enough but there’s more to see with Tour Radar than doing it on your own.Thanks so much to DOT travels and Tour Radar you’re truly a great team. Love you guys ❤️

    Very well organized self-guided tour. Plenty of tome to enjoy the beauty of Athens. The islands were fabulous. Our favorites were Syros and Crete. With so many transfers we were concerned that something could go wrong, but with the exception of one minor glitch (which was very quickly resolved) all transfers were as smooth as silk. All drivers were courteous and helpful When on Crete we had the good fortune to meet Chryssa and other staff members of Dot Travel. Many thanks to all of you for a memorable vacation Mimi H.
