Absolutely amazing tour!
This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Greece! You absolutely must do this!! You learn a lot, meet new people, the staff on the boat was amazing, and the food was soooo delicious. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Love our Captain.
Incredible trip. The boat we were on was the Panorama. The staff was amazing, our captain was incredible. The food they prepare on the boat for lunch is such a nice touch. We went with a huge group of our family and everything was great. We got picked up near the top of the port. It was fairly easy to navigate BUT the pick up location was unclear which added a little stress, after that, everything was absolutely incredible ! 10/10 must add to your list of things to do. It really is the best way to see the island

Amazing and wonderful experience
We were on the boat Serenity, and Chrisa was our guide. She gave us info along the way as we sailed around. She was great; very charismatic, and fun. Captain Gorge was super fun and even stepped down to take a picture with a part of group. Mousa was doing everything else: pulling anchors and bouys, making our food, cleaned the dishes. He did so much “unseen” work. Thank you for giving us such a memorable time on the ocean.

Amazing boat trip that made us feel welcome and special
Absolutely brilliant boat trip. The boat was beautifully clean and well looked after. Only 16 guests with plenty of room with was lovely. Krysta the stewardess who looked after us and cooked our meal - wow! Food was fantastic and she was exceptional at keeping us well looked after and the boat safe and clean. Boat went out of its way to ensure we got all we wanted from the trip. Highly recommend panorama boat and the experience rather than being packed on with 50/60 people.
