    It was my first visit to Greece and the islands of Sifnos and Milos. I'll definitely be going back.

    Wonderful trip. Beautiful scenery. Good balance between hiking, swimming and resting. Mathieu is an excellent guide and a beautiful person. Very professional and attentive. Sifnos and Kimolos are two very unspoilt and wild islands.

    we did the self guided tour. excelent! The hikes were spectacular! Grand Angel was always good about responding to our questions. Before the trip they gave us everything we needed. Their trail app was good. The trails weren't always well marked (faded signs) at crossing points where there were more than 2 choices. But along the trails are all marked with the trail number painted on the rocks to guide you. I do suggest to add pictures to the instructions of the intersections Only one hike had that & it was soooo helpful. The villages & hotels they choice for us were perfect. We had very frustrating issues with the bus app, (not Grand Angel's fault!) and turns out several other couple we spoke to did too. so be prepared. We also bought the trail map because we like to see the overall picture & maybe take a different route than what was suggested. Also Grand Angel's communication before the trip was excellent.
