★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,416 reviews · 8 - 11 hours · from $44

Review of Crete’s Agios Nikolaos, Elounda, and Spinalonga day trip, with boat rides, free time, swim stop, costs, and practical tips.

“What a fantastic day trip. The highlight of our holiday. The tour guides Mannos and Alexandra were lovely, educational and friendly. The bus we traveled on was very comfortable and air conditioned which was a nice touch, Mannos even asked us if we were cool enough, which was appreciated. The stops at Agios Nikolas and Elounda were beautiful, and it was really nice to see that part of the island. Spinalonga was a great experience, the tour guides delivered lots of knowledge about it. Being able to have a swim off the boat was the icing on the cake for a beautiful day. Thank you!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,476 reviews · 10 hours · from $34

Review of the Athens to Delphi and Arachova day trip, with transport details, costs, timing, museum tips, and honest advice on who should book.

“The day trip was absolutely amazing! Timing wise everything was planned efficiently and we never stood in queues. The pickup was organised outside the city centre so we did saved a lot of time at Delphi. Our driver-guide, Kostas, was amazing! He provided lots of great stories about Greece, suggested where to eat. Some tourists got late and we were delivered to the next spot, while Kostas got back to find missing people. So no tourists were left behind and full group came back to Athens. Absolutely nice and would recommend it!”

Rhodes: Symi Island & Panormitis Monastery Day Trip by Boat

10.Rhodes: Symi Island & Panormitis Monastery Day Trip by Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,784 reviews · 9 hours · from $53

Cruise from Rhodes to colorful Symi, visit Panormitis Monastery, and enjoy four hours of free time for food, photos, and exploring.

“Manos Going offered a very nice, made easy trip to Symi island with plenty of free time to roam and explore. Transport to port was fast and comfortable, we got boarding passes to board Nikolaos X and trip to Symi went smoothly. If the day happens to be windy, the boat will rock quite a lot which can be a problem to those suffering from sea sickness. Nikolaos X itself was a comfortable and clean ship which made passage easy. Our trip back ran long, most likely due to the wind and the waves, but the bus transfer back to the hotels was waiting exactly where it was supposed to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,432 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $88

Review of Athens to Meteora by coach, with three monasteries, hermit caves, Greek lunch, seaside breaks, costs, stairs, and practical tips.

“Took my 85 yr old mum on this trip in March and she loved it, she wasn’t able to go in all the monasteries due to her ability to walk long distances but she still loved it, Maria the tour guide was informative and funny - all in all a great day out. Yes the bus takes a while but certainly worth it to experience this magical place.”
