About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- C5251EYleeh0 contributionsAn amazing experience !!!The lake experience was absolutely amazing and George, our Guide was fabulous 💖 We enjoyed the day very much.. it was lovely to wind down before we headed home. The little fish were fun, it was a relaxing feeling. The restaurant we were taken to for lunch was also fantastic, the good was delicious. I would highly recommend the excursion. We both loved how knowledgeable George was, he made us feel very welcome and comfortable, we felt we had known him for years😃George made an amazing day even better, 10 out of 10 🤩🤩🤩Written October 3, 2024
- dhooper810 contributionsA great experience with fantastic viewsWe had a great tour with Crispy Local. They arranged for a driver (George) and a guide, Seriana there at the monasteries. We were able to customize our tour slightly due to a prior commitment but still managed to visit multiple monasteries, Thermopylae, and have a delicious lunch in Meteora. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the monasteries. Even though it was a long day, it didn't seem like it. I would highly recommend this tour to a group looking to see Greece beyond Athens.Written October 3, 2024
- tcC2587YK0 contributionsGreat trip to Cape Sounion.Wonderful trip to see Poesidons temple at Cape Sounion. Anthony was an amazing driver and guide and made the experience easy and informative.Written October 2, 2024
- Happy L0 contributionsLovelyWhat a lovely place. Lots of opportunity for relaxation, but book your choice of lounger, deck chair, etc. in advance as your preferred option might not be available if you just turn up. Staff were very professional. Well run and recommended.Written October 2, 2024
- Passenger601874680230 contributionsA Beautiful ExperienceThe views were amazing and Theo, our guide was excellent. Athens has much to offer, but it was a pleasure to experience a calmer and beautiful part of Greece. Theo was attentive and was concerned that we were comfortable and were able to enjoy the experience.Written October 2, 2024
- angelal9130 contributionsMeteora magicThis tour offered exactly what we needed - transportation in comfort to a spectacular excursion in Meteora. Our driver was professional, informative and considerate. We had plenty of time to explore several of the monasteries in a setting with breathtaking views. Truly a unique way to spend our last day of our Greece vacation. After spending time exploring we were driven to town for a nice lunch.Written October 1, 2024
- leebethm0 contributionsGreat tour!Had a great trip to Sounion with our driver/guide, Nick! It has been 34 years since we were last in Athens, and it was amazing to see how much the city and the towns along the coast drive to Sounion have changed! But the views of the coast and the site/temple of Posiedon are still fantastic! Nick was very engaging, knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this tour!Written September 30, 2024
- 8adamm0 contributionsThis is Sparta!Had an amazing time. Was able to visit the ancient site of Sparta and the archaeological museum before heading off to the majestic medieval town. Our driver Harry was excellent. Very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Would recommend this tour to everyone.Written September 30, 2024
- keke12160 contributionsAmazing experienceMelina was a joy and an amazing tour guide. Her passion and knowledge of Greek history was great. Taking a private tour is the way to go for this tour. The location was also amazing. Highly recommend.Written September 30, 2024
- gradho0 contributionsGreat ExperienceOur driver and guide, Theo, was very warm and friendly and he was an excellent host. We made several stops along the way so that we could enjoy the views and Theo talked to us about the different areas along the coast as we drove. Seeing the sun set at the temple was truly memorable. Theo gave us several options for dinner and we were very happy with the restaurant with traditional Greek food and a pleasant covered porch. We went to a nearby ice cream spot after dinner that was outstanding. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable and we felt well taken care of by Theo.Written September 30, 2024
- kristensO619DY0 contributionsRelaxing day in the middle of our busy week.We had a good time on this excursion. It was the relaxing day that we needed mixed with some sightseeing. The lake was filled with the fishes that eat your dead skin At one point there were about 100 around me. I didnt mind but some people might. Our driver Giorgios was very nice and informative. The private car which drove us around was super comfortable. The views at Poiseidon's temple are stunning.Written September 29, 2024

- loosie120 contributionsAbsolutely fabulous!I cannot recommend this tour enough. Worth every penny. 3 women travelling together. After researching tours, we chose Crispy Locals private tour because we could have our own private driver and separate rooms in upscale hotels (rather than a coach bus with 50 strangers and sharing rooms at 2 or 3 star hotels). Our driver Melina was friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Her enthusiasm and love of history really made the trip exceptional. The hotels were well situated and probably a 4-4.5 star by American standards. Food was excellent. We were able to customize the trip and take our time at the sites. We paid for private tour guides at the archeological sites and they were wonderful. All communications with Crispy Local were responded to promptly. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.Written September 29, 2024
- Fizzer590 contributionsTotally StunningQuite simply stunning and in our humble opinions up there with Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu as magnificent places to visit. Our Driver/ Guide Harry was excellent. He arrived at our hotel bang on time, drove safely for what was, after all, a long drive, and gave us lots of insight on both the destination and on life in Greece in general. The 3 monasteries he selected for us to visit were well worth it and he made sure that the routes chosen were ones suitable for us, an active couple in our mid 60's. For example some of the visitors at Ayia Barbara, faced a long climb in the heat to reach the entrance and were clearly suffering, while Harry dropped us at the top so our path was downhill all the way. Why other guides didn't give such consideration to their guests beats me. The restaurant for lunch was excellent, both food and value wise. You will not need a starter and a main believe me. One or the other will still have you in a food coma on the drive back to your hotel. The comfort stop at the Thermopylae Monument was a treat for me, although there isn't too much to see there TBH. All in all one of our treasured life memoriesWritten September 28, 2024
- 982gend0 contributionsThe highlight of our trip to GreeceWe had a great trip. Before we left we made plans with Crispy Local and they worked with us to ensure that our trip met all our expecations. Melina was wonderful and guided us through our journey. She was very responsive to requests we made and we were never rushed. At every location we asked to have a private guide knowledgeable with each specific area. We were not disappointed. The hotel selections were top of the line. Every hotel had breakfast included. If you come to Greece I think you will enjoy going to all of these locations. Olympia, Delphi,Meteora are very different and enriched our vacation. When we came back Melina our guide was always availble to give us advice and guidance. When we had flight cancellations Crispy Local and Melina were very responsive answering our emails late in the night to accomodate our new schedules. I highly recommend.Written September 28, 2024

First, I will say that those involved with the outward facing customer service did a great job and the best that they could, for sure. However, I'd give my particular experience a "poor" rating:
The island time was very, very rushed. Our particular ride was extremely rough and the ship was taking a beating. Glasses were falling and breaking, people we getting sick and falling. I was wondering if we should even be out in those conditions, with those waves, frankly. I do understand that this is beyond anyone's control (unless they were warned to not go out), but, again, the entire day suffered because of this. The captain and all involved did a great job trying to provide, but it really impacted the entire trip as the shortened times on each island made it impossible to see hardly anything or enjoy the experience. I was disappointed that we had taken a day to this.

Dear Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to write this review. First of all, thank you for indicating that Captain and all stuff did a great job and customer service was professional. Aegean sea is sometimes rough as we have winds that create waves. Your experience as you already have mentioned is not a typical one. We would like to inform you that the cruise will never go out if the local authorities inform of a bad weather beyond the permitted scale. Also, the weather sometimes is unpredictable and even if at the beginning of the day we have low winds, this might change rapidly to stronger winds with waves. We believe that this rating doesn’t represent the typical experience as we cannot control the weather and this experience is connected with weather situation. This review is a great opportunity for next travelers to know about Aegean sea and how we cope with it. We understand that especially for people that are not experienced with sea traveling even a medium bad weather day can be hard. So, if a traveller knows that might be seasick, or just wants to be sure that weather is going to be good, could initially before booking , call us and ask for the weather forecast, or take a pill for seasick, or even just do not book. It is better not to book than regretting.

The boat was cool, lots of time on the boat for sure and not much in the islands but it was plenty enough time to swim at the first and last island. Unfortunately, we were on a tour with a promo film crew which delayed our departure from the last island by 35 minutes. We had to wait to the crew and models to get back while the entire boat of people just waited. There was no dancing for those who paid for the tour, everything was catered to the models and film crew. Top bar was closed down to us and although staff was attentive and kind, they were often distracted by the models. There was no warning that there was going to be a different experience than what the tour originally described, and we were disappointed for sure. We paid a lot of money to have a live music and dancing experience, but it never happened. Just a very loud DJ and models being filmed dancing. If I were to do this again, I would upgrade to the business/first class because of the inside air conditioning and overall more relaxing environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are very happy that you enjoyed the boat and cruise. The delay was only 17 minutes we can showcase the boat's log. The bar that you are referring to that was closed is the bar of the VIP booking. The experience was the same and the live music and dancing was double than usually as the owner of the company was also on board that day. There were 3 different decks, you could go to another one without the promo crew. Most probably you were at the deck with the promo crew and you did not go to the other decks. Thank you for your review and we will try to do our best to offer the best possible experience.

It was described as a buffet, but it's not really a buffet. Drinks are also not included. HOWEVER, service was awesome. There were guided tours of the islands and there was time to explore a bit in between. Recommend if you're in a time crunch, but would recommend a single island tour if there's time.

Dear Rod, thank you for taking the time to write this review. This One Day Cruise is an introduction to some Greek islands and is a perfect way to visit 3 beautiful islands in one day. You booked the VIP option so there was a buffet and you could choose whatever you liked. The only difference is that you ask from the waiter that is at the buffet table to give you what you prefer as we are still in Covid measurements. This is the only difference. Regarding the drinks, refreshments, coffees, beers, tea, wine are included. Only some whiskey or other alcoholic drinks are not included.

I would have given it a one star, but they at least attempted to communicate. The communication was super last minute and we didn’t have enough time to book a different activity since they canceled on us twice. We have been waiting for this trip for over a year and really looked forward to this. The reason for canceling last minute was because not enough folks bought tickets, which they could have just cancelled earlier but they wanted to wait until the last minute and see if more people would purchase tickets.

Dear Rolinda, thank you for taking the time to write this review. Unfortunately, being in the heart of the winter, not so many people book a cruise to the islands. Before someone books we clearly state that this experience requires a minimum of travelers, because as you can understand, the costs related are extremely high. We contacted you several days before the tour date to ask for a change of tour date as on the day you booked (about a year ago ) there were limited persons. We could not have known earlier how many people would book and we left it up to 2 days earlier to tour date open so as to give more possibilities for increased bookings in order to actually not cancel and operate the cruise. We are very sorry that the cruise didn’t operate and we also know that on the low season ( winter) sometimes we can’t avoid situations like that. We suggested many different tours to take for the day and we also offered a discount on all our tours.

We really enjoyed this one day 3 island cruise. I booked the VIP ticket and I am so happy that I did. Kostas was our private server and he was so kind. The food was delicious. Being able to visit three of the other islands was great and we had enough time to spend on each island to shop, eat and explore. I would definitely do it again.

We loved Hydra the most of the three islands. Not a usual fan of large tours but this one is well done. The ship is spacious and comfortable. The crew was outstanding. The pickup from our Airbnb was precisely at 7:30 as stated and the driver found us in the crowd for the return. Well done tour!

This was overall a great trip and I’m glad we did it, but I’m not sure if I would do it again. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it’s a lot of time on the boat and not a lot of time on the islands.
The islands were amazing and beautiful. Poros and Hydra were our favorites. Aegina was our least favorite and we had the most time there.
If I ever come back to Greece I would go directly to Hydra and Poros for more time.
The cruise was great. The food was good, the service was great. I got very seasick and there was an employee that treated me with so much kindness.

We loved this excursion! Hi highly recommend upgrading to VIP with the private cabin. It accommodates 4 and offers complete privacy in luxury accommodations. We enjoyed having dedicated chairs on the deck outside if the cabin, a bed, your own bathroom with a shower, personalized and attentive service along with excellent food. First to disembark as well. There is time spent on the ship and we appreciated the VIP treatment. Kostas and and his assistant Mary were fabulous! If you are considering a day cruise to the saronic gulf this company is the one to book it with!

I took the Tour from the hotel. We went to the port, I had coffee at Cruzeiro for a fee. The ride was cool… but you spend a lot of time in the water. I missed going to the beach, because on the island I could go to, I also did a Tour, and when I came back the boat was already leaving. But the feeling is very wonderful. Lunch was delicious. And the visit to the islands was toppp. I enjoyed it a lot, I didn't have enough time for more days. So the one-day visit to the islands was highly beneficial.
