    Thank you for sharing your experience here with us. It's concerning to read that you may not have felt well-looked after by your Trip Manager, especially as we know what a big difference this makes to the overall experience. Please be assured that we have shared this review with their manager so that they are aware, and for their consideration going forward. That said, we hope you still had a memorable time travelling through Greece, and that you were able to make some wonderful new friendships along the way.

  • L

    Lee

    Asked on December 1st, 2025

    What are the differences between the standard and plus Greek Island Hopping tours? The standard tour notes that there will be 2 nights of accommodation in a hostel. Is this correct? What is the pricing for the option add-on activities?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2025

      The main difference is in the accommodation. Standard Contiki tours usually stay in multi-share hotel rooms with up to 5 other travellers, while Plus Contiki tours upgrade accommodations & share with just 1 other traveller or choose to have your own room for privacy. Correct, the standard tour does include a special stay.

      What time does the tour begin and end? How early can we check into the hotel on day one? I am trying to decide on flights

      The Kick Start meeting will begin at the hotel/hostel at 18:00 (6:00 PM). The tour will officially end at 10:00 AM, or at 12:00 PM if you are participating in the Athens sightseeing Free Time Add-ons. Please note that check-in times vary by property, but on average, check-in is available from 3:00 PM.
