Guest reviews from travelers on Explorer tours in and around Athens
Suhailah | Traveled in August
It was a pleasure to have a more low-key and relaxing sail in Greece. The crew looked after us really well, and the standout was our Tour Leader, Nikos. He made the experience all the more better with his great conversation, support for everyone and his warm hospitality. He went out of his way to ensure we were all looked after and most importantly safe. The food onboard was delicious and ensured we didnt go hungry. The cooking class with Katerina was a highlight, highly recommend! Only feedback I have is that the itinerary of the trip on the Top Deck website/app doesn't match the actual itinerary of the trip, which caused some confusion but other than that it was an enjoyable week!
Phillip Mc | Traveled in August
If you are thinking of going on this trip, just do it! I had the time of my life hopping from island to island with the best bunch. Maria is the perfect tour guide with her infectious joyousness. There is a perfect balance of free time/guided activities. The food was a real highlight, and Maria always brought us to the most authentic Greek restaurants. This trip has made me fall in love with Greece and I can’t wait to go back. Also- the accommodation is top quality, particularly in Mykonos.
Joshua Ye | Traveled in August
What a trip !! I would definitely do a Topdeck tour again and our tour guide - Maria - was simply amazing. Gave great suggestions, very welcoming and friendly, made us feel like we were at home and got on well with the locals. Highly recommend
Brielle Br | Traveled in August
Maria was truly the best guide I’ve ever had. She always had a solution to every problem and an answer to every question. Maria is truly so knowledgeable with the deep history of Greece. Her energetic personality kept us all alive after a few hard mornings after nights out lol. She had amazing recommendations for sites to see, food to eat, best means of transportation. I truly feel like I managed to see everything because of her help. Athens: only fault is accomodation was a bit far and in what felt like a slightly sketchy area.
Madison Sw | Traveled in August
I had the best experience on this tour. Seeing new places can be daunting, but I know all of the stress will be taken out of the process when touring with topdeck.
Callym Be | Traveled in August
