Wonderful trip! You got to experience a little bit of everything and definitely made me want to take another trip back to the Greek Islands!

The islands were dreamy! When I go back to Greece I would spend more time on the islands. Hydra was the best! So quaint and cute with good little boutiques!

This was the best way to see Greece. Truly memorable.

Wonderful. However, this is a spring/summer trip. I went during an overcast winter day. The clouds and the cold reduced the pleasure factor quite a bit.

It was a wonderful day. I enjoyed seeing the small islands with their fishing villages.

A well spent day! We loved the islands and the variety that they gave us. Boat was nice, gave us a choice of soaking up the sun or cruising in the shade. Lunch was surprisingly nice. Well organized.

Wonderful and a must! Relaxing as we sailed from island to island and interesting when we got there. This was a great tour.

Nice ferry with plenty of room. Beautiful cruise and islands. Only problem is you don't get a lot of time on each island. Best way to see outside of Athens, as you leave the smog and head to the crystal clear waters.

Worth doing this three island trip if you're only in Athens for few days and not intending to stay on islands. Avoid the optional island tours on last island, too expensive and instead have late lunch in an island port restaurant. Don't bother with the ships provided lunch.

Though it started off a bit rocky, the trip was ok. The bus picked us up from our hotel 35 minutes late and not even a simple 'I'm sorry' from the guide. The boat was really crowded and because our bus arrived last it was tough getting good seats, but overall the trip was relaxing. I'd say that too little time was spent on Poros, too much time on Hydra, and just enough time on Egina if you purchase a bus tour of the island while on the cruise.

We loved the islands. Food was OK. Tour guide was with us just for organizing, didn't explain much about the islands or the history.

The bus was supposed to pick us up at the hotel, but at the last minute we found out we had to take a taxi to another hotel, where it was waiting for us. At night, it dropped us off about a block from the hotel. The boat cruise was wonderful,
the food and entertainment was good, the stops gave us enough time to look around the islands.
The trip had promised a "walk through the lemon forest" but I never saw it. We had no tour guide on the islands, so we were just on our own, didn't find out much. It also promised a chance to bathe in a waterfall or spring but never saw that.
The islands were beautiful and I was glad to be able to have the free time to explore on my own, guide free. The ships entertainment broke up the dead time on board between the islands nicely. I would not recommend the raw fish appetizer and pork main dish be served, however. This was the only thing I didn't enjoy, and there were not any choices, it was just served. Otherwise, the one day excursion was absolutely lovely. Thanks Viator!

Trip was OK, but not enough time at each location, everyone felt very rushed. It would have been better to see two islands and have much more time on each. Also, they try to sell various excursions when you arrive at the islands, one of which was a swimming trip. We were all told there was no beach and nowhere to swim, so we purchased a ticket. When we arrived there was both, so we felt misled and cheated.

Boat was average, crew was nice. Hydra was amazing. Poros and Egina not so much. If you only have time for a one day cruise it was ok. Would suggest the major islands for more beauty.
