I just completed this tour in May 2023. It was my first time traveling solo and I’m happy I did it. I would definitely do another TravelTalkTour. I didn’t mind any of the hotels we stayed in. Road noise wasn’t an issue as mentioned in other reviews. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. All the hotels had fairly nice pool areas. Mykonos hotel had a great pool area and Ios hotel had a great view. Loved that the Santorini hotel was so close to town. Paying bills at restaurants was fairly easy. Only a couple restaurants had difficulty accommodating spilt checks but mostly restaurants in less touristy places. Vasso, our tour guide was great. Very polite and made effort to get to know everyone. She was always up to have group dinners and go for a drink or try to get out mixed age group out to party. May was a lovely time to go. Weather was still hot enough to go in the water but not as crowded as the summer months will be. Also speed boat excursion in Ios was very fun. Bring something for nausea if you get motion sickness, you go on several ferries. Bring comfy walking shoes.

Such a fun tour mixing party day at the beach, cultural visits and having traditionnal greek food. I had such a wonderful 10 days tour with a small group of 10 travelers. Being the only guy in the group made the trip even more interesting. Ioanna our tour leader made sure everyone was able to have a good time. She was very helpful with helping us paying the bill at restaurants since greek waiters are not fund of managing big groups with separate bills. I have some remarks regarding the hotels provided on the tour : The President Hotel in Athens was a very nice 4 star hotel but it is located way too close to the main street (Leof Kifisias). The noise of cars and motobikes was very loud until late at night. I suggest booking another hotel located in a more quiet street away from a main road. The hotel in Santorini, New Haroula Hotel was quite bad. I was given one of the rooms on the street side, isolated from the others rooms, the room did not have a proper window, was exposed to main road at night with all the quad bikes passing by, the wifi did not work in the room and there was a communicating door with the room next door which made me hear the guests next room very distinctively at night (it was like I was in the same room as them). I would not recommend this hotel. Regarding the ferry trip from Ios to Athens, it would be great to book it on first class for the next tours. We had to travel on economy which was quite bad : it was very hot and noisy even worse we were seated right by the toilets…. Overall I would recommend this tour which allowed me to discover Athens and the beautiful islands. Hepharisto !
