From start to finish this is an amazing experience for your travel journey. The Acropolis’s was a great beginning for the trip, Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes are Islands that give such an amazing view and atmosphere of the Greek Culture. Hands down the best experience was the Holy area of Ephesus and walking through the ancient ruins of Turkey. Our entire experience of the rug making workshop and the delicious Turkish Delights and spice shop was out of this world! With every step up to Delphi and the Temple of Poseidon you will gain such knowledge. Don’t forget to swim in the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea as it’s an experience all on its own that will enhance your trip. For the foodies out there you will find such healthy and delicious meals that leave you craving for more of the authentic Greek experience, especially the feta and olives. With Athens and the Islands tour this little taste of what Greece has will want you to return for more!

Amazing chance for young people to experience the world through the eyes of others. It teaches compassion and openness to learning about other cultures.

Great excursions. We got to do so many things and truly experience all of Greek culture.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I think the trip itinerary is amazing, and I appreciate the order in which we toured the various points of interest. The hotel accommodations in Athens were very nice and the food was outstanding. Our tour director was lovely and ensured that everything was in order throughout our journey. I loved each and every island we visited - each with its unique appeal. The cruise ship was a pretty big disappointment. The vessel needs updating and cleaning, and the food is not good. Fortunately, we spent most of the day in port. Our group did bond over our shared displeasure and discomfort, so there is that silver lining. Besides the ship, the tour was fantastic and we had a great time.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

The planning of this trip was ridiculous. We were booked at Hotels hours outside of the sites we saw, and there were massive travel trips to them for no apparent reason other than lack of foresight. Also, we were paired with another school which we waited 3 hours on the airport. The guide was great but planning awful

Great, safe, and educational tour. The kids had fun, engaged in new cultural activities and learned about new places. You may think the trip is expensive, but it's inclusive of tours, transportation, a 4-day cruise and most meals, plus an assigned tour guide that's with the tour 24/7. You won't get that same level of experience on your own.

My kids have been on 2 EF Tours and never again. The guides are rude and unhelpful… the hotels are normally outside of the city and in sketchy neighbourhoods. They spend the majority of their day on buses. It seems like this company tries to cut corners to make a profit. I wouldn’t suggest booking with them.

My visit to Greece was a really great experience that I manage to visit city of Athens and also several Greek islands such as Santorini, Mykonos and so on. I also went to historical places of site like the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens. Santorini’s white-washed buildings, cascading down the cliffs overlooking the Aegean were undeniably beautiful. Mykonos, too, with its spectacular beaches and quaint streets and lovely laneways, was full of hidden charm. The most memorable part was the cooking class in Greece, where we learned how to cook typical Greek food with local fresh ingredients. Another most remarkable part of the trip was the cruise to Turkey in order to get more insight into the destination including the culture and the history. In conclusion, my experience travelling to Athens and the Greek islands was an amazing vacation because it had a mix of cultural, historical and natural beauty of Greece.
