Greece Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 130

The crew and guides were amazing. Rooms /beds comfortable. They gave just a blanket that was scratchy - so ask for another sheet. The AC would often be turned off around 3am which made it hot.

Food was great. Hanging out on the top of the boat on the cushions was lovely.

The sites we saw were really beautiful. The bike ride distance were totally doable. If you are heat sensitive- do not do in summer months.

The trip with the boat and bikes in the PELOPONNES and SARONIC islands was lovely...we had perfect weather for cycling on the quiet and safe roads. The boat, Thalassa, was comfortable and the staff were pleasant. It was lovely to see the small cities and marinas as well as some interesting stops along our cycling routes. It was nice not to feel rushed and the balance between cycling, cruising (motoring, as the boat did not sail), relaxing and visiting sites near the marinas where the boat docked was just right for this vacation. Initially, I was surprised that all meals were not provided on the boat, but ultimately happy to go out into the towns to mingle with the locals.
I loved how well the feral cats on the Greek islands were fed, housed and looked after!
My suggestions would be to have a snack provided on board after we returned from cycling and to have more reasonable prices on the bar drinks rather than restaurant prices.
The guides were nice and entertaining as well as innovative when small problems arose with bikes.

Very enjoyable trip. We had wonderful shipmates and both guides were excellent. Bike rides were just right for our skill level. The meals were great and the crew was top notch.
The ship was clean but our cabin was a bit smaller than expected and a few things in the bathroom are in need of repair (broken toilet seat, broken towel rack).. A bit disappointed that we didn't actually sail but rather just motored between ports; apparently not enough crew to work the sails.

Great times, great service. Quality boat with excellent meals. Esther provided an engaging experience along with her assistance who we nicknamed 'Woody' as he tried very, very hard to fix a pedal with a piece of wood. He was amazing

We loved. It was our first experience riding. The cabin very confortable. The food delicious prepared by a chef. Our guide was really fantastic. We loved everything.

Great crew. Great food. Excellent plan b options when the wind picked up and they had to diverge from schedule. Biking was challenging at times even with e-bikes. But the views were spectacular.

We loved this bike and boat tour in the Ionian islands! It was so fun being on the boat and meeting people from other countries and traveling to all the beautiful islands. The biking was challenging because of the hills, but an E bike made it enjoyable. The tour guides were wonderful and the boat crew were also - we had excellent meals every day on the boat. We also loved the swim stops-the entire week felt magical.

The overall experience was fantastic, the leaders were a load of fun and very organised . The ship crew , captain, deck hands and cooks were very obliging. Our itinerary was changed slightly due to circumstances outside anyone’s control, the changed stops were equally as good as the planned ports.
The food was exceptionally good and plentiful.
The crew went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable and loads of fun!

The islands were so beautiful! Of course, the bike rides, swim stops, guides and crew made the trip wonderful!

Everything about this trip was wonderful. Do not expect luxury accommodations, but do expect a great crew, fabulous guides, fantastic scenery, and great bike rides.

We loved the experience of both being on this magnificent boat and riding along the coastlines on these fabulous islands. This is the way to really see Greece. The food was outstanding and Mary Lou and Esther (the tour guides) were priceless in keeping us informed of excursions and a ton of fun as well. A bucket list trip for sure.

We had a wonderful week on the Panagiota it was a great experience on a more traditional boat. The guides and crew went above and beyond making sure everything ran smoothly. The bikes were great we opted for electric as there's many hills/mountains. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the island stops and swimming off the boat were magic and we wouldn't hesitate in doing a similar trip.

Sailing and cycling the Greek islands was really incredible - I didn’t want to leave! I was really impressed with Running On Waves. The crew was amazing and I loved that the meals were served buffet style. The food was great and always a variety of selection. Definitely take some extra time in Athens if you can, it is a great city to explore.

Great boat, itinerary and crew.

Would prefer biking mornings and motoring afternoons. Most of trip motored til noon. Ate at 1:30. Began biking after big lunch about 3.
That is my only complaint. The las 2 days were morning bikes, much preferred

My husband and I had a marvellous time on this tour. It didn't turn out to be a boat bike trip; instead it was a hotel bike trip as the Thalassa wasn't available, but it didn't have a negative effect on our trip. The itinerary changed substantially as we used ferries instead of the Thalassa, and stayed on some different islands, but the quality of the tour was high and we had a really memorable and enjoyable time. The guides were excellent and really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble and we were wined and dined royally. The bikes were high quality and performed flawlessly, and the scenery was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, but will say you should not join unless you have a reasonable level of fitness. The hills on the islands we visited (particularly Andros) are challenging even on an e-bike but well worth the effort.

Seeing Greece by bike - gives you a close-up. Well organised trip means a relaxing time.

This trip met all of my personal goals and expectations. The biking was challenging and the tour guides were excellent. The meals were great and well prepared. The ship crew members anticipated our needs. There is no better way to truly experience the beautiful Ionian Islands than by bike and boat. Otherwise you would only see the port villages unless you hired a car or van to take you to the scenic views. My only suggestion would be to include more historical stops.

We had the most phenomenal week on the Erato! Biking through gorgeous villages and pine forests and olive groves, and being repeatedly blown away by views of the sea as you rounded another bend! It was extraordinary! On board the ship we had amazing and delicious healthy meals. Our guide Dionysius was outstanding. It was an unforgettable week!

You probably don’t want to post this review. The bicycle routes and the guides were excellent. The guides gave excellent reviews and orientations. Unfortunately, the most memorable part will be the problem on first afternoon aboard the Boreas boat where the electrical plug-in, next to where were sitting, (from the shore power) sparked and started to smoke and smell like an electrical fire. We alerted the crew and they unplugged. The other Greek port authorities would not let us plug-in with the corrupt system, so we did not have air conditioning unless the excruciatingly loud generator was on. The loud shrill noise tortured several cabins so it was shut off to sleep. We did not have AC at night and people were hot and slept on the benches on the deck and above deck. The shower in our below deck cabin leaked so much that we were forced to take super short showers just so we wouldn’t flood our bathroom with gray gritty water leaching through the walls. Another boat in their fleet had an accident and our lead guide had to work with that problem, but he did an excellent job of taking care of us. My three star rating breakdown as such: The bike ride was a five star and the boat was a one star.

For me it was the time in Athens BEFORE the trip, to be honest.

The entire experience was flawless from pick up, transport to Meteora to the actual tour. The accommodations were beautiful and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The views on the bike ride cannot be described with words or pictures. Meteora is a MUST see!

Meteora was incredible! Tripsite made the execution of the trip flawless. We would highly recommend using them! The team was available for any and all questions from the initial inquiry all the way thru the end of the trip!

We had the absolute best time on This trip. It was the highlight to our three weeks in Greece and we’re already looking to make plans for another trip Trip site took care of everything, including all transfers, making everything incredibly easy and they were available for questions as we moved around during our vacation We highly recommend them

Thalassa is a beautiful comfortable ship,. Even made better by the friendly and helpful crew. Our guides, Mary Lou (aka Lulu) and Demetris were not only competent and friendly, they were fun to ride with! Two weeks later and we are all in touch by way of Whatsapp! They were very a accommodating found time for swim stops once or twice a day and were vigilant. We even sailed for a magical hour. E bikes were perfection as were the meals. Everyone, especially me, gained weight. Of my many trips with Tripsite, this was the best.
As an aside, Santorini is , in my opinion, overated...too crowded, busy and trash every where Try Crete instead. Also switching Whatsapp to Signal for security.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable trip. The scenery was fabulous, and the food and culture was wonderful. The representative that we met in Ohrid was very helpful, and the bike shop owner was great. The hotels were all very nice, and most provided adequate air conditioning in what turned out to be hottest summer on record. My biggest grievance with this trip was the navigation app that was provided, as it was not compatible with common GPS apps that most cyclists use and did no provide turn-by-turn directions.

The crew of the Erato is very professional and friendly. The boat is well-maintained and spacious enough for 12 passengers. The food prepared onboard was outstanding, rivaling many of the restaurants we ate at in Greece. Our tour guide, Dionysus, led our biking group safely around the islands and entertained us with tales of Greek myths, gods/goddesses, and heroes. There is plenty of downtime to go swimming (off boat and beaches), read a book, sunbathe on deck, or take a nap. Overall, we enjoyed this tour (our 4th with Tripsite) and would recommend, especially to first-timers in Greece.

Turquoise waters, views galore, fabulous fresh and authentic greek food, scenic bike rides and good company with fabulous guides.
Do not expect luxury accomodation (it's more like camping) and everything else makes up for that!

The beautiful places we visited. Tip: in spring and summer do not carry too many clothes or suitcases

I loved the trip!
beautiful places, good planning, great guide and wonderful group atmosphere. We get to know Greece in a unique and intimate way!
The Tripsite agency was impeccable with information and quick responses!

Cycling through the “undulations” of the Cyclades was magic, particularly the downhills. Fortunately we had e-bikes to reduce the climbs. Our guide, Dionysis, was excellent. His depth of knowledge of Ancient Greek history was immense and his stories were always infused with his wonderful humour. Beautiful ports, great restaurants and food on board, what more do you need?
