The Athens and the Islands tour with EF was truly the trip of a lifetime! From the moment we arrived in Greece, everything was well-organized, engaging, and just plain fun. Our Tour Director was absolutely fantastic—not only incredibly knowledgeable about Greek history and culture, but also friendly, energetic, and great at keeping our group excited and informed throughout the trip. The local guides added so much depth with their passion and insights, especially at the historical sites like the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and we were always well taken care of. The food was outstanding—a perfect introduction to authentic Greek cuisine, from fresh seafood to delicious gyros and baklava. The educational value of the tour was top-notch. Students and adults alike came away with a real appreciation for ancient Greek civilization, mythology, and its impact on the modern world—all while having an amazing time exploring ruins, museums, and local neighborhoods. And the cruise to the islands? Absolutely magical. Each island had its own charm, and the views from the ship were breathtaking. It truly checked all the boxes for beauty, adventure, relaxation, and cultural exploration. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a rich, fun, and unforgettable travel experience. EF made every moment count!

I was guided on many walking and bus tours regarding modern and Ancient Greece. We relaxed and explored on cruises and immersed ourselves in Greek culture and cuisine.

Loved the Greek Islands and sea towns outside of Athens.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

From beginning to end, this tour exceeded every expectation! EF delivered an unforgettable journey through Athens and the Greek Islands that was seamless, enriching, and absolutely inspiring. Our tour director, Athena, was outstanding—organized, knowledgeable, and always ready with insights that brought every site and story to life. The balance of history, culture, and fun was perfect, and every day felt thoughtfully planned. The cruise was another highlight—comfortable, scenic, and a fantastic way to explore the islands. Each stop was unique, but Rhodes and Patmos truly stood out. Both are steeped in history and beauty and should not be missed! The excursions and local guides were top-notch, and I came away having learned so much while also having a great time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to combine adventure, education, and relaxation. EF, thank you for the experience of a lifetime! A++

The trip was awesome the cruise was nice but the fios was terrible.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The tours and tour guides were very good and brought the information to life. The only tour hard to follow was in Mykonos with no microphone and because we arrived late at night the clubs were loud. Felt like we were not able to enjoy the island due to the time of arrival.

Greece and the islands were absolutely stunning! Even though we were there for 8 days, I still feel like there was so much to see! I would definitely take a trip here again in the future (and maybe see the islands we didn't see).

This trip was great when we were off the cruise ship. I do not recommend the Miray Cruise that was a part of this tour. The food on the cruise was awful and there was basically nothing for teenagers to do on the boat for long hours.

The Greek islands are so beautiful, and the people are very friendly.

Traveling to Greece was an amazing experience! Not only did we have the opportunity to explore Athens, we also embarked on a 4 day cruise to surrounding islands - our itinerary was full of memorable experiences, it was a trip I’ll never forget!

They canceled the cruise just at they landed to start the trip. The tour guide left them on the street to get back to a hotel from dinner on their own.

The tour guide, Angeliki was impressive. She can wrangle large groups of teenagers with ease. She advocated for my son’s group and made sure they had great activities to do even after their cruse ship caught fire the first night and they had to return to shore. The cruse company you chose clearly had a major problem with their ship. You need to choose companies that maintain their fleet.

Not a trip or company I would recommend to anyone. Customer service is bogus. The insurance we bought is a joke. The food was awful and the cruise ship included was a disaster and absolutely filthy… it was almost a blessing the ship caught fire and returned to port…. Among a few important things…
