Review of a three-day private Greek islands tour from Athens, covering Mykonos and Santorini with ferries, hotels, transfers, and optional cruises.
“This is a nice option if you don’t have loads of time to still see the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. We were picked up promptly from our Athens hotel and taken to the port. Our driver went out of his way to make sure we were dropped off at the right ship. The boat ride was very long, but overall passed quickly. When we arrived at Santorini, we spent 15 minutes searching for our driver. We had to make several calls and text messages before someone came to find us. He didn’t seem to know anything about our travels and had us leave our luggage in a random cafe…”
Review of a five-day Mykonos and Santorini trip from Athens, including ferries, hotels, breakfasts, free time, costs, and booking cautions.
“We had looked forward to visit Santorini but the ferry canceled. As a result, we were forced to pay an additional €574 in hotel expenses plus new ferry tickets. Viator failed to take any responsibility and always blames its subcontractors which are equally useless. In the future if you’re interested in the Greek islands, please consider taking a cruise ship instead.”

Review of a four-day private Greek island tour covering Paros, Mykonos, and Santorini, with ferries, transfers, hotels, and breakfast included.
“The main issue was the lodging in Santorini. It was like a jail. I paid a addl $160 since I was traveling solo for an upgrade on location in each islands hotel. Paros And Mykonos were great. Santorini was horrible I would give them a 2* hotel rating if that. I had 2 cots with a very thin sheet and a hard blanket. The shower fit a infant and the bathroom counter was broken. The bathroom itself can maybe fit a todler. The WiFi did not work. The walk to the “town” was at least 15-20 despite paying addl. I was at the bottom up the hotel. The driver that…”
