What our clients are saying about their island-hopping adventures
Well Orchestrated Trip Greek Island Hopper , NJ, United States, Sep 2026
Our tour director BEVERLY was absolutely AMAZING. The excursions, transfers & coordination within the group was OUTSTANDING. Our only reservation was the poor selection of hotel in Athens: the Crown Plaza was tired & more of a business hotel rather than leisure accommodation - and would not recommend. The hotel in Mykonos was LOVELY. The hotel in Santorini read more could have been better in terms of the room - they were not private enough with guests walking past the outside of the room. We should of had a second floor room with terrace - the overall room was sparse with only a bar of soap.
Grecian Paradise   Greek Island Hopper , MA, United States, Sep 2026
The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Vaseliiki was fabulous. Very well organized. Excursions were wonderful. We particularly enjoyed the beaches.
Our 3rd cruise with Celestyal Heavenly Greece, Italy & Croatia , NSW, Australia, Aug 2026
We come to Greece every year and choose Celestyal Cruises as they start in Athens and return to Athens making life easy for us. We like this small family cruise company of 1,260 guest capacity as it keeps down the noise level and the smaller ships are able to dock in ports making on shore tour access more convenient. A wonderful company, attention to read more detail, staff were genuinely friendly, attentive and helpful, going out of their way to ensue we had a great vacation. The food in the bistro was excellent - lots of variety on a daily basis and all tasted so good that we were overeating, finishing with delicious cakes and fruit. The onboard entertainment was top class as usual.

We did lots of Greek dancing during Greek ports of call. The drinks were a bit pricey including a service charge was my main gripe. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip with lots of beautiful photos of Dubrovnik, Montenegro and Bari. We didn't go on any of the tours as they were either a bit pricey in aussie dollars or too long 5-6 hrs in the heat of the day. We decided to catch a cab to Dubrovnik Old City with lots of steps....rather than overdoing it. It was so hot we were happy to catch a cab back after 90 mins. Montenegro was simple to walk off the ship into town as was Bari with it's charming narrow street markets. I highly recommend this cruise it was great.
Best Galapagos experience   Galápagos – West & Central Islands aboard the Reina Silvia Voyager , NSW, Australia, Jul 2026
Amazing trip, G Adventures and South American team made everything easy. Boat was incredible, crew fantastic, guide Omar was a standout. Such a fun group of people from all over the world to travel with too. Included transfers took away any stress. Just do it, most incredible place on earth and a great way to do it.
Northern Italy & Crotia   Northern Italy, Slovenia & Croatia , NSW , Australia, May 2026
What a wonderful holiday destination. This Bunnik tour had everything. Amazing cities, quaint villages, snow capped moutains, beautiful lakes & waterways and of course included a 7 night cruise on a small boat sailing the Adriatic. Very special. Accommodation was 1st class, guides very knowledgeable, Klemin in Italy, Nina on the cruise. Bus drivers read more very competent. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this trip.
Fabulous time in the Greek Isles Iconic Greek Islands , QLD, Australia, May 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on Celestyal Discovery sailing the Greek islands of Mykonos, Patmos, Santorini, Rhodes, Crete, Kusadasi. The ship was fabulous, food plentiful and delicious, so much variety! The staff were exceptionally friendly. We loved it. The ports were great and for the most part enough time to do what you needed to do. We read more didn't book any onshore tours, just did our own thing and loved it. If I could pick a downside, it would be the time it took to get off at some of the ports, mostly though this was the passengers and not the crew who delayed the process somewhat. The shows in the evening were exceptional. Hannah at Global Journeys handled our booking and was fabulous to deal with. Very quick to answer any queries and the process super smooth. Thank you for a fabulous time:)
