Visions Holiday Group Traveller Reviews

We had booked to go to Athens, Delphi, Meteora, and Naxos. Despite Greece being an amber list country, the FCDO advised against all but essential travel to these places. Instead we headed to Rhodes and Crete. Rhodes was surprisingly enjoyable. We hired a car and headed to Lindos, enjoying the beach after climbing to the acropolis. The next day we headed to Kamiros, the Valley of the Butterflies, and Kallithea Spring for a relax. All of the restaurants recommended by our hotel were sublime. We then headed to Crete - the transfer to the hotel scared us out of hiring a car, the driving was so erratic! We instead explored Rethymno and enjoyed the hotel facilities. We caught the bus the Heraklion and Knossos the next day, enjoying the archaeological museum. Due to a heatwave, our trip to Samaria Gorge was delayed - but it was definitely worth waiting for. The food in Crete was nice, but not quite up to Rhodes. Though we enjoyed only good Greek wine all week. The only issue we faced was our pre-departure covid test. We took lateral flow tests with us and tested ourselves the night before the flight. However, our test provider never confirmed the results, leaving us unable to fly. The morning of the flight, our concierge helpfully ordered us a taxi to a nearby doctor where we were tested.

Islands of Greece were great. Of all the agents we contacted, Alan came up with the best itinerary. It was a shame the FCDO threw a spanner in the works, but Alan quickly fixed us an alternate trip, with a great hotel and upgrade. While in Greece, our transfer pick-up spots were unclear (due to pedestrianised streets), but a quick call to the agents resolved any questions.

We are unable to go on the holiday yet.

I wanted to highly recommend our tour operator. We are unable to go on the holiday we booked because of COVID-19 but the Visions staff have been very helpful. They kept us informed of the current status during the initial rearrangements caused by the travel bans, and then offered a full refund when the situation worsened. I will definitely be rebooking this holiday when possible.

We visited 4 Greek Islands in the Cyclades over two weeks, travelling between the islands by ferry.

On first contacting Islands of Greece, I outlined very roughly the holiday we wanted. They used their considerable expertise to suggest a programme including hotel choices on the different islands. After selecting the hotels we wanted, they organised every-thing else, including all the transport movements between airport/port/hotel and ferries. Everything worked like clockwork. When we experienced a ferry cancellation due to a cyclone around Athens, representatives were in constant touch with us, keeping us up-to-date on events and arranging another nights stay in Paros. All their staff were professional, friendly and had that lovely 'can do' attitude. I would unreservedly recommend them.

Our package put together by Alan Garner included flights, transfers, accommodation and ferry tickets. We flew to Athens and spent two nights at the excellent Fresh Hotel, followed by ferry to Syros where we stayed at Electra Syros, a small family run hotel, well appointed with excellent views across the bay. A morning ferry to Tinos, where we had lunch then afternoon ferry to Rafina and on the Evia and a stay in Karyistos. Return fery to Rafina and on the Athens for a return flight to Manchester

For many years we have put together a bespoke holiday, island hopping in Greece using local ferries. Sometimes we have visited as many as 6 different locations. Each time, Alan Garner has put together a package for all our travel, accommodation and transfers. His advice and care and attention to detail, when formulating a suitable package cannot be underestimated and as a result, we have enjoyed many great holidays in Greece. The support of the Operation team is also of the highest standard. I have not reservations in recommending this company.

In September 2017, for part of our Golden Wedding celebrations, we visited the Cyclades visiting the islands of Andros, Tinos, Mykonos, and Syros, concluding the holiday with two nights in Athens, in a package put together and arranged by Alan Garner. Everything went according to plan, flights, transfers,accommodation and ferries. We had a most enjoyable time and are most grateful to Alan for his efforts on our behalf. We certainly had a holiday to remember for all the right reasons.

We have been on several other holidays organised and arranged by Alan and have never been disappointed. His attention to detail ensures that your holiday goes according to plan. We will be visiting the Greek Islands next year and will be looking to Alan to make the arrangements. I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour operator.

We had a 3 week holiday to Paros , Naxos and Mykonos with all flights and transfers arranged by Zoe Cornwall who exceeded our expectatations. All three Hotels were of the right standard and inter island transfers worked seemlessly , despite this being in Greece . I cannot recommend this company highly enough to anyone embarking on an Island Hopping adventure.

Initially asked us our holiday requirements and fulfilled them to the letter. Very easy to contact their person in charge of our arrangements and thet proved to be 100% efficient , a rarity these days in any industry.

We had five days in Mykonos. We then took a ferry to Sanrorini for one night and flew home from Santorini.

Every detail of the holiday was well organised. Hotel Petinos was very comfortable and friendly. All transfers booked through our operator worked perfectly. This is the third time we had booked with Islands of Greece, which speaks for itself.

Second time traveling with Visions holiday group Islands of Greece. flight to Athens transfer to Piraeus then onward ferry to Serifos, Sifnos and Milos . 4 nights on each island in great well placed accommodation . Fantastic holiday with all the worries of planning taken out of our hands . All arrangement were fantastic and would recommend this company to anyone.

Second time traveling with Visions holiday group Islands of Greece. A complete service taking all the worries out of your hands. Visited three smaller islands and yet all fell into place as I the previous trip. Great hotels or suites , transfers all in place and ferries all booked. It ran like clockwork. Many thanks to Alan Garner who again made our holiday a real success

This was a well a ranged and planned Holiday by the tour organisers we're the only problem being the amount of traveling involved. The ferry times were inaccurate but the tour operator could not be blamed for that. The accommodation at the Final Destination was exactly as described and very comfortable friendly and welcoming hand set in a wonderful location. We were not happy with the hotel selections on the island of Mykonos but again that is not really the fault of the tour operator. The improvement we would like to have seen was something from the tour operator indicating what are hold baggage allowance was and having now spoken to them they have agreed that a modification it in place. Overall we were very impressed with the sour preparation and planning of the tour operator and we would use them again
