Can we use Fast ferries? What categories are the hotels indicated in the brochure.

The ferries that are used will be dependent on the weather at the time. When possible we do use fast ferries! The hotels on the trip are an average of 4 stars.

Would like to book a trip with my mother and daughter, however my daughter will only be 18 at the time. Can I talk to someone about making an exception to the 25 years or older rule?

Yes thats fine, the minimum age is 18 when traveling with a family member!

Where can i find potential additional activities or excursions that can be added? Can she choose before the trip or does she choose while on her trip? One thing she was interested in was kayaking maybe while on one of the islands.

What is the average age group for a tour like this? I think since she's a solo traveler, being able to make new friends on the trip will be fun for her.

How much more are the room charges for a single traveler?

If you're looking to view the cost for a single supplement, simply navigate to the webpage for the adventure you're interested in, scroll down to 'Dates & Availability,' click the blue 'Confirm Dates' button next to your selected departure date, and follow the prompts. Once you follow the prompts, you will also be able to view all available room types along with their costs.

How do we book our flight to join the rest of the tour group? Do you provide transportation from the airport to the hotel? How much time is scheduled to allow everyone to arrive and get together for the beginning of the tour?

Flights to and from your Culture Trip are not included allowing our travelers the flexibility to book a schedule and budget that works best for them. The first day of the trip is arrival day, you will have a Welcome Meeting around 6pm at the hotel before heading out to enjoy the evening in Athens. The final day of the trip you can have breakfast at the hotel and depart any time. Your airport transfers are not included. You can grab a taxi at the airport and arrange a return taxi with the hotel at the end of the trip or we are happy to get quotes for a private car pick up and drop off.

Do you have these dates available? We are hoping to complete the tour end of May until early June.

The only dates currently available are those listed on the website which is 24th May - 1st June 2025. Are you flexible with your travel dates?

Is the cost of this tour in Australian dollar or US dollars? What is the fitness requirement and or activity rating for this tour?

You should see the currency type next to the tour price. I am in the US so for me it states US$ next to the price, for AU it would show as AU$. The trip is rated as light so there isn't anything strenuous that you will be doing. We explore a lot of places by foot so I would recommend being comfortable on your feet for extended periods.

What is the average age of this tour? How soon would trip info be sent before the tour's departure?

Average age for this departure date: 63, we have 4 travelers booked for this date so far! We send out your predeparture pack three weeks prior to departure. You will also have the chance to opt into the WhatsApp group, this will include the other people on your trip and the Local Insider (guide). This invite comes a week before you head out.

If my friend cancells, can I go solo? If I go solo and need to see a doctor/hospital in Greece, does anyone from your organization accompanies me?

We can book you and your friend in a twin room together, you have up to 55 days prior to departure to change your booking. So, if your friend does not want to go on the trip we will want to know by that date. On all of our trips you are accompanied by a Local Insider (Guide). If for any reason you become ill on the trip your Local Insider will do their utmost to assist with getting you to a doctor. Please note, they will not be able to leave the group but they will be there to assist to get you a taxi, locate a doctor, etc.

Dream Trip! We loved everything about our Culture Trip Greek Island Odyssey adventure! Our guide, Sylvia, was the BEST! She was super organized, knew all the tips and tricks of our destinations so everything ran smoothly, plus was a ton of fun to be with. The itinerary was packed with a great balance of activities that enhanced our understanding of the islands we visited. There was something for everyone- beautiful hikes/sunsets/sailing, cooking class, museums and Archeological sites, great restaurants and free time to go our own way if we wanted. Loved the expertise and perspective the local guides provided in each location. Would definitely book a Culture Trip experience again! Thanks!!Show more

I was skeptical about signing up for a tour. I usually think tours were things my parents and grandparents going on tours and I usually plan my own trip. After our wedding, though, we didn't want to plan anything. Culturetrip changed our perception of tours. The group was younger and the activities were things I might have planned myself. There was a good mix of tourist attractions, off-the-beaten-path locations and varied activities. Our guide was amazing and added color at every step along the way. We are already thinking about which tour we'll do next.Show more

The Culture Trip Greece tour was really amazing. While we were unable to make it to Milos due to the ferries and flights out of Athens being cancelled due to high winds, our tour guide, Sylvia, made sure everything was handled seamlessly and had ideas for us to enjoy our extra day in Athens. Once the ferries resumed, we decided to skip Milos all together for some extra time in Naxos, where the cooking class and boat tour were particularly enjoyable and special. If you take this trip, I hope you get Sylvia as your guide, she was the most amazing tour guide I've had, and really helped to make this trip so amazing. She always made sure we were taken care of, that we had ideas for restaurants to try, or places to explore. Often times she joined us as well! I do hope that this trip is modified to include an extra day in Santorini and the hotel is changed from the airport area (where there isnt really anything to do) to the one of the main parts of the island (Oia, Fira, Imerovigli) - You'll want to spend all your time in these areas anyway! Overall a great trip with a really great and energetic group. Show more
