What people love about Island Hopping Tours in Cyclades Greece
- 4 Day Tour in Paros, Santorini, Mykonos an Amazing Greek Islands Hopping
Overall pretty good except for locations of the hotels….if you wanted to go out and maybe get dinner or see the sites downtown, you need to take a taxi. Since you’re only there one day, you lose time waiting and trying to get a taxi. Everything else went well - transfers, ferries, etc except one of our tours was canceled due to weather.
- Greek Islands: Sunsets & Sea Breezes
This was the best trip I've ever taken! I've done contiki and topdeck and I loved the smaller group for this. We had 25 in our group and a fantastic time was had! There is something for everyone on this- cultural experiences, some partying, great food, beach time and city sights. Lots of walking tours and definitely do the Santorini donkey ride/volcano visit optional!!!
- Athens, Paros & Santorini - 7 Days - Premium
The trip was very nice. It was great to not have to worry about booking hotels, transfers and ferries. Thank you so much!
