“This was a nice tour, but a little crowded and the boat was not quite as nice as the boat we saw in the pictures. Delos is an interesting stop but relatively short and there is a lot to see. The Rhenia bay was great for swimming but because the boat was so crowded you could not really lay out anywhere which is what my wife was hoping for. (You had to swim to shore so laying out on a towel was not an option either). On the whole we thought this was nice but probably not worth the price.”

“We really enjoyed this trip. Our tour guide was friendly and loved questions. The only confusion was when the tour company driver brought us to the parking lot at the ferry dock and didn't have great directions for where to go next. We found our way to the kiosk but would have preferred to have been shown where to go.”
