About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 908abigailo0 contributionsFun day-tripWe had such a fun time on the boat for a day! Great swimming locations and a relaxing environment. The lunch was good as well! A great way to see Antiparos and beautiful views of the Aegean Sea! The boat was a little more crowded than I would have hoped so not a lot of wiggle room.Written October 3, 2024
- vgsanfran0 contributionsThe Worst Experience EverI would give this excursion no stars if that was an option. We booked this excursion through "Get Your Guide" app based on the reviews. I will make this brief; they purposely overbook beyond reasonable capacity, which means some enjoy a nice voyage while lying down in the middle of the boat and never allow others to do the same, so the rest of us have to sit with a steel bar wedged into our backs for over 7 hours. This made for a very uncomfortable and unpleasant journey. The tour description never mentioned that 70+ people would be crammed onto a boat. Had we known this in advance, we wouldn't have booked. We also did the reasonable thing buy trying to work with the boat crew and captain to address and they refused to help in anyway. All we got was shrugged shoulders. There are other operators to explore the surrounding islands. Our advice to all.,,.book a private boat! You'll be way better off! The insensitivity and sheet lack of empathy of the crew and team at MTM is what prompted this review. To pay over $100 per person and be told there isn't enough room for all to have a comfortable experience is beyond unacceptable. Clearly they only care about one thing and that's making money. They could care less if you get no shade and have no where to sit comfortably for 7 hours. Do yourself a favor and book with someone else! Hire a private speed boat and enjoy all the same locations. The amount you pay is not worth the horrible experience and at best, sub par food provided. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! We travel a lot and have booked many excursions and this by far as been the absolute worst!Written September 29, 2024
- Scenic6782250 contributionsBoat day tripExcellent day trip around anti Paris. Food was delicious, plenty of beer and wine equipment to snorkel. Boat was very comfortable and we met some Amazing people on board. Had a great time!Written September 29, 2024
- neilrM4410TA0 contributionsLovely beachesExcellent trip around the island, visiting beaches that are hard to get to by car. Lunch was on the mainland which added to the trip. Much less noisy than the island hopping tour and thus more relaxingWritten September 29, 2024
- neilrM4410TA0 contributionsNot for anyone over 50The islands visited and the stops made were great, but the whole thing was let down by the constant loud music. Seems that the trip was designed as a Club 18-30, whereas the majority of customers were over 50. The captain gave good commentary on the sights but started every commentary with “hello, hello, hello” in an irritating fashionWritten September 29, 2024
- F8189NIheathert0 contributionsA perfect day of swimming & snorkelling in beautiful blue waters, travelling in a comfortable boat.An excellent day, very memorable blue swim spots. A comfortable boat with padded seating, and not too crowded, so the day felt relaxed. The BBQ lunch was wonderful & plentiful, as were drinks. There was a great mix of older and younger people who were all very friendly. Tip: We took some bread to feed the fish at the swim spots, and it attracted lots of fish so it felt like swimming in an aquarium…..fantastic snorkelling! The only negative was the boat was about 20 mins late leaving, as it appeared they were waiting for a couple running late (but there was no communication to the passengers, and people were starting to get a bit annoyed), and I think it impacted our last swim spot in which we only had 20 mins. But once we got underway, it was a perfect day.Written September 28, 2024
- Guide475224357830 contributionsFabulous day, beautiful clear water and amazing swim stops.Fantastic day, we visited great destinations and swim spots, yummy freshly prepared onboard lunch and the crew cared for us really well. We had a windy day, so the team sent everyone on a bus to another much calmer port to take off from.Written September 28, 2024
- T9705BFbellam0 contributionsGreat dayAmazing boat cruise with good food. Chris was a good host and made the boat laugh several times. We stopped at three beautiful areas and got to experience the beautiful Mediterranean SeaWritten September 25, 2024
- N7195ZEangelab0 contributionsFantastic boat trip!We had a fantastic trip! Really enjoyed swimming into the cave and seeing Naxos from the water. Also loved our trip to the other island. Would definitely do it again!Written September 25, 2024
- Lovehawaii4ever0 contributionsSARAKINIKO BEACH!!Excellent tour! Tour guide was very informative and took us to beautiful breathtaking locations. Sarakiniko Beach is ridiculous amazing! A must tour when visiting Milos!Written September 24, 2024
- Travel3066920 contributionsGreat day out with Elisabet CruisesVery well organised and run trip. Crew were excellent with informative and funny running commentary. Recommend this trip if you want to see Scopelos and Alonissos Islands. Did see church from Mamma Mia from the boat and spent time taking photos.Written September 23, 2024
- NeseO180 contributionsMass tourismIt's a good tour because if you don't already have a car or don't want to rent one and sightsee on your own, you have no other option but these bus tours. Naxos is an island that has chosen to be a mid-budget family type of tourism. But doing it as mass tourism is not a commercial success. Stuffing people into several buses at the same time and keeping them in the same places at the same time means, for example, cramming hundreds of people into the same olive oil pressing area, or trying to see Kauros with at least eighty people and waiting for another hundred to eat. Time scheduling shouldn't be that difficult. Other than that, the drivers and guides are doing their best.Written September 22, 2024
- sammyo7090 contributionsFabulous.Great experience. Highly recommend. Love the fact I can now make my own authentic saganaki . Not to mention the Green Salad. Best part was enjoying the meal we created with good wines and new friends we met.Written September 21, 2024
- scotwild0 contributionsNot quite what we expected from the tour descriptionOur pick-up was a hot and dusty 15-minute walk from our hotel. From there, the bus drove straight back to our hotel to pick up more people. - Akrotiri: we were not told we would have to pay the €12pp entrance fee ourselves, nor was this mentioned anywhere on the tour description on the website. Be aware that most of the really cool finds (like all the frescos) have been removed to the museums in Fira and Athens, so you'll really just be looking at plain stone walls. - Perissa: there's a black beach here apparently, but we couldn't see it for all the sunloungers. We had a surprisingly good (and not extortionate) lunch at Demilmar by the beach, though. - Emporio: the Venetian castle was cool, but the guide didn't really explain what you'd see if you went inside, so some people didn't bother, and missed out. - Profitas Ilias: Great panoramic views of the island, but not much else to see as the monastery is not open to the public. - Wine Museum: We were supposed to go here, but didn't. We tasted 3 wines at a local restaurant instead (with no 'spectacular views'). - Oia: This poor village is absolutely heaving at sunset, please visit it at a different time of day if you possibly can. The sunset is just as spectacular from anywhere else on that side of the island.Written September 21, 2024
- Z7128OYsarahb0 contributionsLovely Kalamos Island and George’s tavernaKalamos is a gorgeous small port and George - the unofficial port master - is incredibly helpful with docking the boats and he has the best Taverna in town for lunch and dinner. Well worth a visit, lovely beaches and very pretty island.Written September 20, 2024

This was an enjoyable group hike through the countryside. It is downhill and not difficult, but you will want sturdy shows for the rocky path. You will learn a bit about the herbs that grow along the trail, but do not expect extensive natural history (and be a bit suspicious of some of the facts offered about bees). So - four stars for the hike, minus one star because it is not correctly described in the TripAdvisor blurb. The total time is 5 hours, and the hike ends at Panormos beach where there is about 2 h to swim (weather permitting), have lunch or enjoy a beverage. This information was missing and I was disappointed not to have known to bring my swim gear. See dolphinofskopelos dot com slash excursions for a more complete description.
