First of all, all my documentation and confirmation advised pick up was at our hotel at 7:30am. At 6:50am we received a call from the front desk stating our tour was there. Two minutes later the tour employee basically yelled at my husband to come downstairs. We were downstairs at 6:54am. the employee was badgering us the whole time, mean while we get to "their" pick and continue to wait for 30 minutes for others to arrive. We finally leave, get to the dock only to find a massive boat with well over 400 people. more time spent on the boat than any of the islands, lunch was cold and disgusting. Would not recommend.

The boat trip was fine. The loading and unloading logistics were poorly executed because of the number of people on board the ship. The lunch was good too.

The tour itself is what you would have expected - long hours on the boat - its like a 13 hr day. 45 minutes at poros, 1.15 hrs at hyrda and 1.45 hrs at aegean. They said boat leaves at 730 but it did nit leave until after 8. They will sell you tours for Hydra and Aegean which was ok. The food is the most disappointment. Horrible all around. Salad, fish which was soo bland and had a weird taste, rice, chicken and some weird chocolate dessert. I wish they could have done a better job with the food given that everything else is extra - water, juice, etc. they could have done some traditional greek food - a simple kebab, souvlaki or anything would have been better than what they serve.

The idea is good; however, we didn’t go to Hydra, so went to two islands instead of three. Very little time on the islands. A lot of traveling on the boat with very little time on land. You pay extra for the tours once you get off the boat. There is no way to walk to the attractions, so you have to get on the bus after a boat to see the site for just 20-30 minutes. Food was mediocre so as entertainment. No tour on the boat itself. It’s a tiring waste of time. And if you get sea sick in addition to all that, the day is completely ruined.
