Embark on a journey to antiquity with your Local Specialist who will take you to the Acropolis, a sacred site since Mycenaen times.

We depart Athens and cruise to Santorini, where we'll spend the next three days exploring the island's dramatic beauty. Stroll through the volcanic island's quaint clifftop towns.

Join your companions this evening for a memorable meal of Greek cuisine.

Great Greece Tour. Great, but perhaps make it less jam-packed with continuous events at the beginning; the pace was better the second half. The Trip Director is critical - and *Personal information removed by Feefo* was fabulous in so many positive ways!

The Greek Island Hopper tour was great, overall. Lots of time to explore on our own, the hotels were great and our tour guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* did an amazing job escorting us through Greece!

Exceptional people providing exceptional service that generate lasting memo. Made truly exceptional because of the exceptional people involved. The Tour Director *Personal information removed by Feefo*, each and everyone of the experts, the Trafalgar people associated with the transfer. The personal care and attention to details. It was through Costco Travel Services, that I was introduced to Trafalgar Tours. This combination of Athens, Santorini and Mykonos in 10 days -known as the Greek Island Hopper, was a delightful experience for me and my family. What made it a great success was the truly committed Tour Director- *Personal information removed by Feefo*, who brought along highly educated, seasoned world-class experts to join us on each leg of the tour. The Tour Director masterfully tuned us quickly into a cohesive group. I don’t know of a better way to explore some exotic locations and create beautiful memories that we could cherish for the rest of our lives.

Wonderful Greece trip with friends. They do a top notch job ! Great experience , we were able to see and enjoy this part of the world which we would have never been able without the assistance of Trafalgar. They do a great job if planning and making sure its guests are well taken care of and would recommend this experience to family and friends.

Island hopper Issues. With the exception of the Athens hotel, the others were good to outstanding. What I would change is the 5.5hr ferry ride from Athens to Santorini and replace it with a flight option. Too much vacation time sitting on a ferry when we could have already been in Santorini. Trafalgar needs to stop using Radisson Blu if they are going to sell out their rooftop restaurant for parties that blast bone shaking music until well after midnight. This happened twice while we were staying with them and it was not only annoying, the music was played at such decibels that even the wall safe was vibrating loudly. It was impossible to sleep, so we started the tour exhausted and worn out. The rest of the tour was fantastic and well worth our time. Our guide, Anna, was so organized and attentive to all the group members' needs. The optional were all good to great.

The tour was great. There were a few advertised optional tours that were not available when we arrived in Greece though. Trafalgar should update their details. Lisa our Tour Director was amazing. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Greek Island Hopper-- dance worthy! Everyone connected with the tour was very helpful and accommodating. Our Director Nikos K. was fun, funny, and knowledgeable. The pacing was great as one could do a lot or just hang out. We loved the island hotels- so picturesque! Be sure to have Oia as part of the optional excursions- even at the end of the island tour for those wanting to continue. Actually, going there later in the day cut down on the number of visitors!
