★★★★★ Eva G
20th Anniversary Trip
Cultural Splendors of the Peloponnese and Saronic Isles E-bike and Boat
Our expectations were exceeded. We knew we would love to see the countryside this way, and indeed it was fabulous to see the more remote areas that most tourists never experience. And the staff blew us away. I felt so cared for. Every need was accommodated. The staff had such a positive attitude which is noteworthy for how hard they work. It made it a really special experience that we will cherish.

Greek island adventure
Greek Island Adventure by Bike and Sail
Boat was great! Crew and staff were amazing especially Lina our cruise director and Alex our bike guide.
The food was good and healthy but all meals were served buffet style which was a disappointment considering the pictures on the website and the fact that we were on a luxury boat.
The company needs to do more work to organize itself for bike tours. The trips were not well planned out in advance, there were a few minor breakdowns, only one guide, there were not enough paniers for all the riders and there was a daily expectation for us to return to the boat for lunch each day. This is difficult when rides start mid-day. The staff were very good at revising tours on the spot based on comments of participants and providing us with sandwiches some days.
Also not ideal was the fact that there were office staff and owner family and friends who did not mix with the paying passengers, even when we tried to engage with them. They were not cyclists and spent their days in the ports sightseeing and had 2 tables exclusively reserved for each meal on the boat. When one of our American friends tried to sit at their table the person said “no Americans”. This was very rude and disconcerting. It made the experience on the boat a little weird.
We were supposed to go through Corinth, but the canal was closed just before our trip so this was disappointing, but not the fault of the company. The boat had to travel much farther than originally planned and travelled often overnight.
All in all it was not quite what we were expecting, but we loved the boat, we had excellent service and we made lasting friendships with other participants.- What was the date of your tour?

Dear Gail,
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re truly glad to hear you enjoyed the boat, the crew, and the overall service, and that you had such a positive connection with other participants.
We’re sorry to hear about the unpleasant situation you described and the aspects of the tour that didn’t fully meet your expectations. Some of these circumstances fall outside our organizational reach, as they can depend on the individual character and behavior of others involved. Still, we sincerely regret that this affected your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Breathtaking scenery, challenging ride
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
Crete is a wonderful island. There is history and ruins, scenery , varied climate from desert to sea, to fertile valleys. The people I met were all wonderful. I did the 14 day option and it was off season. I was the only person .Most of the place closes on October 31. There are 2-3 very challenging climbs on a daily basis. If you are a recreational rider, choose the ebike. On my final day it took me 1.5 hrs to do the first 4.5 km climb. I ride an hour a day and it was challenging, but exhilarating. Weather is wonderful, food is great , accommodations were very well appointed and had fabulous locations. The app has some hiccups, like a peculiar estimate of 1/2 km and a tendency to stop a distance from the hotel. This may have been due to the off season nature and the usual hotels not being used, but it was very disconcerting at the end of a ride to be searching for the hotel. The local travel company was great in helping with difficulties I encountered. Overall though, it was a wonderful combination of exercise and touring and discovering a fabulous place .
